49 You got the wrong person

I was waiting inside the stables as Leon had instructed. I hold the dagger he had left to me tightly. My heart was thumping very fast.

I was worried about Leon. He said we were being followed since we left the river bank.

'Who would want to follow us? What are their intentions?' I thought to myself.

Then I remember the accident earlier. When I was nearly ran over by a running carriage. I felt someone pushed me.

"Someone is after my life?" I said to myself.

I was deep in my thoughts when I heard some sound.

"Who is there?" I quickly got my guard up. I unsheathe the dagger from it's scarab and hold it at arms length. I make a defensive stance.

"Young lady, I do not wish to harm you." A voice of a man was heard.

Then the man emerged from the shadows. He was a young man with short dark brown hair and eyes. He was wearing black cloak.

"What do you want from me?" I asked with authority.
