Man!
How did this happen"
Naima scrambled away from a drunk lurching down the road, crawling deeper into the alleyway. It wasn't safe, she was sure, but safer than encountering one of the strange denizons of this land. Much safer.
She'd found kindness here and there, mostly in that strange place....that inn. But she'd found danger as well. So far, her fleet feet had kept her out of its clutches. But she needed to find something....I need to find home! she thought, stifling the wail that thought brought by stuffing a knuckle into her mouth. Mom, I'm so sorry. I promise, when I get home, I'll never leave my bed unmade, or argue about chores. And I'll always do my homework!
She hadn't been here long, only a few weeks. But everyone she talked to was a disappointment. No one seemed to know how she could get home again. They said there was someone who knew, but they didn't know who. She shook her head.
It was getting cold, too. There was warmth in that inn. I hope there aren't any big dragons sitting by the fire. Then again, her lips turned down, would being eaten by a dragon be worse than rooting in garbage for dinner"
