Josephine, hidden away in her facade as the Scarlet Arrow, continued to avoid the blows thrown at her, trying to knock back her adversaries. However, she had no intention of actually harming any of them; she could have easily done so, but felt it was unnecessary. A few blows came close to hitting, but were caught seconds before the blade could harm her. Worried that this fight may turn and harm any of the nearby commoners, as there were so many, the masked fighter darted off through the crowd and into one of the alley ways. Her deed was done, now she just had to escape from the guard without being caught. Not that it had been a problem before... though it had come close a couple times over the months and years.<span style="font-style: italic">"Don't let him get away!"</span>The voices of the guards rang out through the alley as they gave chase after the cloaked vigilante. As the small pathway led to a larger one, Josephine darted off town the street, the guards close behind. She knew not to let them catch her, as the punishment for this alter ego of hers was far worse than being beaten in a duel. Her capture was well worth a fortune, but never had anyone tried to catch her other than the guards. Who would rescue and protect the city from the oppressive tyrant of a king and his allies if the Scarlet Arrow was gone? Her foot caught on a loose cobblestone, making her stumbled and trip. A dangerous mistake in this case. Luckily, she kept her sword  still, so she wasn't entirely helpless. By the time she had gotten back to her feet, the guards had caught up, one catching the back of her cloak and pulling her backwards.<span style="font-style: italic">"Give it up, you're not going anywhere this time."</span>"We'll see about that."
