Belle kept her cloak around her frame tightly, making sure to keep her face concealed. Sure, she was close to home, but that didn't mean she was safe from being seen. She stumbled slightly as the pain her arm and foot really began to push her limits. She cursed the man whom had gotten a hold of her and burned her with his brand. Not to mention that he'd lassoed her ankle so tightly that it had cut into her skin and caused a deep wound all the way around. She'd known better than to sneak up on a target whom was still working, but she'd been in a hurry. She'd wanted to get back to Nirethia.
With a small "oomph", she sat down beside the river and sighed, removing her slipper which was now stained with blood from her ankle. She muttered to herself and slowly slid her foot into the cold water, wincing at the sting of the icy liquid against her wound. She closed her eyes and sighed before taking a cloth from her cloak pocket and soaking it in water. She wrapped it around the burn mark and then turned her eyes to the blood drifting in the water. She sighed and hooked a brown curl back behind her ear, carefully listening to the sounds of nature, as well as making sure she was the only person around.
