Chapter 3

"Now all you have to do is cough and say your sick in a sickly voice. like this. cough cough ahh im sick cough" Alexis grins "got it?"

The serving girl nodded and frowned "but what if we get caught miss"

"dont worry nobody will come in. Their germaphobic or something. Beleive me last time I was sick. they quarentined me in my room. They wouldnt even bring me up fresh water, sheets and linen." Alexis shook her head. She was gonna have a day out of this place even if she got caught it would be worth it.

"but wont i lose my job. I really need this job. Marmie is worn out and baby lisa is awful sick. I need this money." the serving girl pleaded.

Alexis smiled "shh.. i swear you wont get in trouble. besides ill pay you. my whole allowence."

This perked the serving girls interest " money miss? how much?"

Alexis grinned. "50 cents."

The girls eyes' popped open and she nodded. "yes miss, thats a deal."

Alexis grinned. "thats what i thought. Now ill be gone till midnight. So no slipups or you wont get the money."

The girl nodded "yes miss, have a wonderful time."
"Oh i will" she grinned and climbed out the window clutching the girls tattered shawl around her. Alexis had thought it better that she looked a little less like a lady and more like a commoner. She landed on the ground and smiled taking in the deep breath of freeding then coughed. Well maybe itll taste better she thought and headed into the street full of people.


Blink growled as he brushed past people his dark mood repelled any possible buyers. He stopped at a bench in the park and threw his stack of papers down. Not one person had botten one from him.

"How much for a paper?"

Blink turned towards the voice. It was a properly trained voice. He glanced at the owner and saw it was a girl, prolly from on of the girl lodging houses or somerhing. He shook his head. She had prolly been a hoity toity at one time since she spoke proper english, but is now eating the dirt like the rest of us.
"they're not for sale. go someplace else."

She frowned her cute nose scrunching up. "Well what are you going to do with them then.?"

"Eat them. Is that ok? and i dont share meals so go fend off someone else." he shook his head. People just couldnt take 'no' for an answer.

"Your really going to eat those?" she asked him wide eyed.

"Look girl . Beat it and leave me alone. Cant you see im busy."

She frowned again and he noticed she had a few freckles on her nose. she was really pretty, but he just wanst in the mood.

"Well fine then. Im sorry for trying to make a friend" she huffed and turned around leaving him behind feeling like an ass.


Alexis fumed, how could people be so mean, all I did was ask how much a paper was she thought to herself. She didnt see the guy in front of her stumble and he landed into her. A small boy who had ran into him apologised and walked away quickly. The man righted himself then helped Alexis " You ok?"

Alexis nodded "yeah im fine, thanks" she smiled and headed on her way. Just then she heard someone shout..
"THEIF!!" then their were some whistles. Alexis turned around to see what was goin on and she saw the man who had ran into her. He was pointing her out to the cops. She frowned.

"Oh no what now? im not a theif" she complained aloud toherself. panicking she started to run when they came after her.


Blink had started walking home. He felt bad for snapping at that girl. It wasnt her fault he was having such a horrible day, or week. or even year. He shook his head. god he was cursed. HIs ears picked up yelling and whistles. "Crap its the bulls" he breathed under his breath and started to turn abck around when the girl from ealier ran right into him knocking them both down. She looked terrified.

"woa. Wheres the fire?"

"C.. cops, .. chased... theif.. misunderstanding." she said between gasps of breath. Blink shrugged and helpd her up .

"Come on this way you can explain later." he said and led her towards teh lodging house pulling her in just as the cops came into site. He peeked out the door and watched as they stopped in front of thelodgin house. They had lost them. Finally the cops ran the other way. He sighed and turned back to her.

"Your safe"

Just hten she collapsed. Blinked reached out and caught her before she hit the ground.
