Throwing stones and hiding hands (3)

Eleanor looked in the direction the stone was thrown from and spotted a couple of women running away. She only saw the back of them but it wouldn't be hard to point out who they were from their dresses. 'Idiots,' she thought.

If not for Alessandra bleeding, she would have chased after the women to repay what they had done. Then there was the mask that fell off that she wanted to put back on quickly since Alessandra would not want anyone seeing her face.

Eleanor saw what looked to be old cuts but didn't think Alessandra required the mask. She was still quite pretty and now Eleanor was curious about the real story behind the mask. Why did no one question why a young girl had to hide her face?

Alessandra stood still trying to wait out the pain in her head.

"We need to put some snow on it," said Eleanor.
