Chapter 3
Jake spit the dirt out of his mouth and sat up. His nose felt broken and he could hear all the men in the bar laughing and cheering, and over their noise he could hear Will still singing away. Jake was about to get up when he heard a voice say "Hey kid can we get food in this bar?"
Jake looked up to see a small man who was about the same height as Jake sitting up. In fact there were several little men standing around this one who seemed to be their leader. Jake looked at the small travelers strangely. The leader said "If ya didn't know kid we are part of an act in a traveling circus."
"You should come down and see our show." Said one, who looked very happy.
"Um ... sure." Jake answered "And yeah they serve food in there."
The little men passed him one by one into the bar and the last shortest man looked at Jake laughed and said "Thanks."
"Whoa what a night." Jake whispered to himself and got up to dust himself off.
"Wow look at that moon." Thought Jake looking at a big full bright moon. "GET these little monsters out of here!" yelled a voice inside the bar. And Jake could tell it was the bar owner (Eleanor's step mother) who was yelling. The door swung open and Jake ran and hid in the shadows so to as not be seen by the men in the bar. The little men were being swept out by the step mother with a broom and she was yelling the worst insult to these little dwarfs. The men were just taking it as if they had suffered this treatment many times before. They walked away with their heads bent low. "Never come back!" yelled the bar owner and walked back into the bar, but not before she saw one of the men give her an obscene jester.
"Well I better get going." Said Jake running his fingers through his hair.
That's when Jake heard it Eleanor's voice from the direction of where the dwarfs went to.
Jake decided to investigate. He crept slowly around the corner and made sure he couldn't be seen. He saw the back of Eleanor, and she was talking to the leader of the dwarfs. She handed him a package and said. "That should be enough for all of you. I had to steal it from the kitchen. Sorry for my step mother."
"Its o.k. it's not your fault." Said the leader. "Why don't you run away with us? An angle shouldn't be working for a demon."
"I have tried many times." She answered "but she has powers that I don't understand."
"I knew it!" yelled one dwarf from the back "She's a witch!"
"Goodbye." Said the leader. He smiled up at Eleanor and walked away leaving Eleanor alone. She shivered in the moonlight which gave Jake a good idea.
