Sadie ran out into the rain like a child and smirked, hearing three zombie moaning but not sure from where. The raindrops began to fall on her head as she scratched the back of her neck.

"Where are they coming from?" Clopin looked up and quickly noticed something moving on the roof beside theirs. "Ahah! Up there." She followed his eyes and blinked. "Huh. Alright then. Let's carry on." Sadie motioned with her hand. The gypsy tilted his head. "We're just going to leave them?" "'Course. If they fall, the height will kill them."

"You have my words then." "Cool." She wandered into an old apartment. Clopin hurried inside behind her. "Now if we're lucky, we can find an umbrella in here." "Why would we need one if those creatures will be chasing us? What if.." Sadie smiled and lightly pat his shoulder. "It's best to be prepared though." He sighed. "Right." "Cool. I'll look up and you look down."

The girl carefully walked up a flight of stairs with her weapon drawn. She slowly opened a closet door and looked around. 'Do I see one? Nope.' Sadie wandered around the top floor with a bit of fear. 'What would happen if I wasn't downstairs with him? He could get hurt.' She shook her head. 'Right. Umbrella. Umbrella.'

"Could it be?" She ran over to numerous gold hooks on the wall and picked up a handle attached to a white roped wristlet. "Eh. Never believed in luck." The girl opened it to check for holes. "Grey. Nice! This'll work." She rose her head and shortly screamed. A zombie was silently looking inside the room through a glass side door.

Clopin dropped the green floral vase he was looking at onto the floor, letting it shatter. He ran upstairs and hugged her from behind.

"Are you okay Sadie?" She sighed. "I..That creature just surprised me." He looked up and narrowed his eyes. "That is pretty scary." He let go and rubbed her shoulder. "Did you find anything?" "Well I found one." She shrugged. "Here's another!" He took a larger black one from behind his back. "Awesome! Can you think of anything else we may need?"

"Hmm. Maybe a flashlight?" "Good idea." She smiled and followed him into a bedroom. Creepily enough, the bed was neatly made and the carpet was almost new. "Nobody lives here?" Sadie whispered. "Nope. Why?" He whispered back, going through drawers hoping to find a flashlight. "I don't know. Just looks surreal. Any luck?" "Nope." "Shoot. Oh well. Let's go then."

The two left the house and Clopin held both umbrellas. "Why don't we try that house next?" She pointed to a small hut across the street. He stopped. "But what if Frollo 'shames' us again?" "Follow my lead if that happens. I have an idea." The gypsy shrugged then continued to walk behind her.

Sadie headed into the building and covered her mouth to cough. "Every house looks the same." She hummed then found three large boxes. "Isn't today just a big boatload of excitement?" The girl giggled and so did he.

"You know what they say. First come first serve." Sadie picked up all three. They weren't that heavy and not that tall. Clopin smiled. "Don't hurt yourself." "I won't." They both walked out with a sense of pride, even when Sadie ran into the one person who she ever so wanted to speak to.

Frollo was riding down the street on his horse and quickly made eye contact with her. A pure white cloak covered his body. Sadie felt a shiver down her neck and carefully set down the boxes. With a deep breath, she walked over towards the dark five and a half foot animal. The girl shook a little as it snarled at her. The brunette held out her hand to pet him with her brown eyes looking at his shadow black hair. Frollo narrowed his eyes with a smirk. 'Yes Snowball.' His eyes briefly widened. 'Please tell me she doesn't know that.'

Clopin blinked as the horse sniffed her little hand then bore it's teeth. She then lightly smiled as it licked her cheek. The judge roughly pulled the leather reins of his horse, causing Sadie to scowl.

"What kind of horse is he?" The so claimed mockery of her innocence resulted in the judge stepping onto the pavement and tying his steed to a pole. Frollo slowly walked over to her, allowing a two foot space between them. "What's his name?"

He folded his arms, not giving a second thought on whether or not to answer her. "Are you insisting on moving in with me my dear? To finally see the light?" She stepped back and closed her eyes with tension. "I'm not. We were just.." "Stealing. Gypsy. I should have known." He sighed. "More importantly, you will get sick out in this weather." Frollo reached out with two fingers, examining the pendant resting on her chest. Her eyes opened but with little focus. "I..I know that. But sometimes you need to make sacrifices."

He hummed and set it back down with a look of disinterest. "The only sacrifice you make is the opportunity to learn." There was a loud clap of rather symbolic thunder and she hiccupped. A rough hand of his was set on top of her head. "The fear is all in your head Sandra."

Clopin narrowed his eyes. Sadie quickly glanced at him and motioned him with a flat hand behind her back to not get involved. "I..do learn. We all have our own ways in the world." Frollo disgracefully shook his head, causing her to feel a bit light headed. "Th..That's why.." Clopin set a gentle hand on her back. "Sadie. You lost soul." He tightly gripped her shoulders then moved his right hand down onto her hoodie zipper. Sadie started to pant as his pointer finger and thumb began to pull it.

"Get off of me!" She firmly spoke and forced his hand away. The judge clenched his teeth and pulled her onto the ground. "Ow." The bangs of her hair covered her narrowed eyes. "Patience heathen. Patience." Sadie pushed herself up and a short trail of blood began to run down her right elbow. Her eyes started to fill up with angry tears as she continued to look at the judge. "I see. Tears of remorse." Frollo deeply chuckled then smiled. "Now normally I'm not the considerate type." He held out a hand. Strangely enough, the rain stopped and the moon became visible through two fluffy clouds.

"Stop it! You're scaring her!" Clopin pulled her back beside him. "She's only afraid because she's ill minded of my will." He smirked as the girl closed her eyes. "Now heathen, if you were smart, which I highly doubt, you'd shield yourself from the devil's path and take advantage of the refuge I am offering to you."

She sighed and stood in front her friend. 'Shield? Hm. If you insist then.' Sadie wiped her eyes, quietly cleared her throat and adjusted her voice in the tone of Phoebus's. A few points off but enough of a cover to trick one so.

"Yes sir! Shield the area gypsy." Clopin opened an umbrella and held it over her head. She picked up the boxes then slyly smiled at her foe and continued to head back to base. Frollo groaned and hopped on his horse. "There will be a bonfire in the square once the sun rises." Snowball obediently led Frollo back towards the Palace of Justice.

The gypsy placed a hand on her back. "Are you alright Sadie?" The girl sighed and wiped her eyes again with her right shoulder. "Yeah. My arm hurts a little though." He smiled but was feeling a little uneasy, knowing that the judge was certainly not the one to test patience with. "Sadie?"

The girl sighed then adjusted her grip on the boxes. "Yeah? What's up?" He quietly sighed. "That was a good idea. To plan ahead and take what we could." Sadie suspiciously narrowed her eyes before clearing her throat. "Oh. Thanks. Concept that carried on from when I was little."

Sadie watched as he held the door open and headed up the stairs with her back against the wall for balance. Quasimodo and Esmeralda were on their hands and knees on the floor looking under each bed. Clopin covered a smile with his right hand. "What are you doing Esmeralda?" The door closed.

"Oh! There you guys are. We were just looking for my earring. Must have fallen out." Quasi turned his head. "Wow!" "Wow what? Did you find it Quasi?" "Uh uh." The woman lifted her head and noticed the plastic crates as well. "You guys are finding everything aren't you?"

Sadie giggled and set them down in the center of the room. The umbrellas were pushed under the left bed. Quasimodo shivered a little and ran down the hall to look for a bandage. Esmeralda blinked as she noticed the blood as well. "Oh my gosh. Are you okay? What happened?"

'Don't even think about bringing up the truth.' "Yeah. I just slipped. Just a little scrape." The hunchback hurried back with a damp cloth and a bandage. Sadie rolled up her hoodie sleeve to her shoulder. "I think it's more than a scrape." "What do you mean?" As the dry blood was wiped off, the wound became more clear. A visible half dollar sized cut with little black and blue spots around it.

After cleaning it, Esmeralda helped tape the gauze down. The girl could tell she'd have to take it easy for a while. 'I can barely bend my arm. Shit. Medical tape restricts you from doing anything.' "Thanks guys." She lightly smiled.

"Welcome." Quasi smiled back." "Yeah you guys can open the boxes. I'm a bit out of breath." "Are you sure?" Clopin watched as she carefully lay on the bed, looking at them. "Well there's three of them and four of us. It's not worth fighting over. But I'd like them to be opened in reverse alphabetical order." The hunchback smiled. "Haha. Thanks Sadie."

Her eyes shut half way as the first was opened. Clopin sat on the bed beside her and sighed. Quasimodo hummed. "Anything good?" "Well I found some coins. Oh!" Two bows with twenty arrows were set beside him. "Archery. Nice! What else is in there?"

"Hmm..old papers, scrap wood, and.." Esmeralda stepped back in disgust. "What is it?" Clopin looked inside. Three dead mice lay at the bottom of it. "Uggh. Gross."

"Something dead?" Sadie tried to sit up with only her left hand. "Yes. Probably found their way out of the sewers. But I think they could come in use." "Clopin!" "Trust me on this Esmeralda." He picked up the box went down the stairs. The box was left out in the middle of the street. Quasimodo tilted his head. "Uhh.." "Well I'm sure they get hungry too."

They all smiled. "I'll take your word for it then. You're up Esmeralda." The girl quietly yawned.

"Let's see.." Large strips of tape were pulled off and the box was opened. "Well that was disappointing." She folded her arms. Sadie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What was?" "Paper. Paper. And look, more paper." Her jaw sarcastically dropped. Clopin smirked and stood up, blowing on one of sheets so it wouldn't hit the ground. Sadie yawned again and drifted off to sleep.

The two giggled as he continued. His body fell to the floor in the position of a crab then a frog. After losing sight of it, he frowned.

"Oh well. Good night guys." They smiled and the woman looked at the girl. "She's tired huh? Clopin?" "Yes?" "What exactly happened out there?"

He sighed while keeping a weak smile. "Nothing to worry about. She's not infected." "You guys ran into Frollo again didn't you?" The gypsy frowned. "Yes. We did. He pushed her, interrogated her.." He grabbed the bow and a few arrows off the floor. "Clopin, that won't bring good to anyone! Put them down." "I won't. She could be really hurt!"

Sadie sighed and moved her body down under the covers. "You're overreacting." Quasi assured. "She'll be fine. I know." "I do too." Esmeralda stood up and lightly pat his shoulder. "Let's get some rest shall we?" "Alright." Clopin took a deep breath. "I'll take the floor tonight."

"Got it. Night guys." The hunchback's shoes fell to the floor.

"Good night." The gypsy king quietly lay his pillow and an extra blanket on the floor next to where Sadie slept. "Better." He whispered with a smile and fell asleep as well.

Judge Frollo led his horse into it's stable behind the Palace of Justice and locked the gate, also closing its window. He groaned as he rubbed his head and entered the building. 'Vermin.' Now alone without his servants to provide for him, the man found himself walking to his bedroom and neatly folding his cloak. The white covering was placed on the wooden dresser across the room. For a brief second, Sadie popped into his mind. Frollo growled. "Bloody disgrace. Leave!"

He tiredly rubbed his eyes and undressed to a clean set of pajamas, consisting of white t-shirt and grey sweatpants. "Beata Maria. Do not let this siren cast her spell upon me." He then fell asleep in his bed an hour later, after a pestering thirty minutes of her echoed words and persuasion.

'"We are all the same." She lightly smiled. "I travel alone." She elbowed him onto the ground. "I wouldn't press your luck with me grandpa." "Good night." Sadie sweetly blew a kiss with a light smile.'
