(Synn)<br/><br/>Kateri stuff everything that was hers in her bag. "Shit, shit, shit!" she cursed as she got dressed into the new clothes she had purchased and her new pair of boots. The sun had already graced its presence through the bedroom window. She peered outside past the sheer curtains and looked at the corn fields out back. Yes, she could sneak out that way or try to make it to the north side of town where the entrance to the forest resides.<br/><br/>She heard them moving about the house. There was no way to get out without going past them unless she found a way to crawl out the window which would mean breaking it, it that case, he would come running. "Damn!" she muttered as she slung the crossbow onto her back after making sure it was armed and ready to rock and roll. She popped the door open and peeked down the hall. They were both sitting at the table eating breakfast and talking about milking the cows in the barn.<br/><br/>Kateri slipped through the door and inched her way down the hallway. She could see the front door from where she was standing, but they were also almost within eyesight if they bothered to look up. She swallowed the lump in her throat and put her hands up in front of her as she walked out into the center of the room. "D-don't be upset" she said.<br/><br/>The man, Adam, dropped his fork onto his plate and bolted upright from the table. "Who are you miss and why are you in this house?!" he demanded as he reached for a large knife that happened to be strapped to his left side. "Amy, move over to the wall. Now!" he ordered as he pointed to where he wanted his daughter to go. Amy quickly scurried to her feet and ran over to the corner of the room while wringing her hands in fear.<br/><br/>"Please don't be alarmed. I mean you no harm. I am the old lady you welcomed into your home" Kateri tried to explain as she took a few more steps towards the door.<br/><br/>Adam's eyes widened in fear as he looked at her from her boots to her head. "You're a witch!" he exclaimed as he moved in front of the door, blocking her way out.<br/><br/>"Please, please just let me leave. I don't want to hurt you" she pleaded as she took another step closer.<br/><br/>"I'll not let you leave witch. I will bring you to that bounty hunter that's looking for you. You need to come quietly" he said as he held out his hand, "Don't make this hard on yourself miss," he said sternly.<br/><br/>Kateri raised her hands up once more and started to whisper an incantation which froze Adam in place. Amy started to cry and she turned to her, placing her index finger on her lips in a<i>shhhh</i>gesture. "Your father will be fine once I'm gone" she reassured the little girl. Kateri slipped past Adam, opened the door, and walked out towards the main part of town. When she reached the end of the main walk, she waved her hand to release the man.
