The hunter

Suns rest-day eighteen


I knew where he was heading, it was the same place he always headed at night. The local tavern,a cesspool of scum and degenerates. Everynight he would go and spend his hard stolen money on whores ,ale,cards. He wallowed in them all. He would walk down the backstreets with an air of confidence. A spring in his stride,knowing what lay ahead of him when he opened the tavern door.He lived for it. The status of a thief was usually well below most, but this one, he was a new breed. selling his services to the highest bidder. Much like myself in many ways. I pulled my Dark cloak over my head, it was especially cold tonight. I had to put a black cloth over my face to prevent my breath from turning into a highly visible mist. It was silent, The moon shone down on the hamlet i was in for the next few days. There was no wind.Not even a breeze. Merely an eerie calm over the world.
Strangely, his steps where uneven. He looked round frequently. No self congratulating smirk on his face like he normally had. I was hidden of course. Moving amongst the shadows has been second nature to me for years now. But his cautious nature began to alarm me. What was so different about tonight ? I had been following him for days, observing him, making a mental note of the streets he used to reach his haunts. From my reconissance I now knew that we were only a single street from the tavern. There was a single corner remaining, thats where i wanted to take him out. It had been the plan since my second day in town when a man tried to rob me, I was his final victim. Dark,secluded, and usually unused.It was perfect.
I watched him round the corner and proceeded to make my move,i broke into a run,then a sprint,The cold air burning in my eyes, My feet barely touching the cobbled pavement, my cloak whipping wildly behind me, i aproached the corner at great speed, dagger drawn, adrenalinne coursing through my veins, i reached the turn, But instantly the hairs on my neck stood up,a sudden rush of the unknown engulfing me............................
His elbow caught me in the nose. My eyes instanly began to water, i could taste the telltale metalic taste of blood on my lips. I didnt stand a chance, i had to move,had to run. I got to my feet and leapt over my prey. How i achieved a flip in my condition i'll never know. If i was less shaken i would have maybe enjoyed a quiet laugh, not tonight though.
I made my way through blurred alleys, thoughts screaming inside my head all wanting to be heard .WHAT HAPPENED? HOW DID HE KNOW? To name a few.
I ran in the direction of the moon for almost an hour, im not sure why, maybe animal instincts taking hold.
I found myself in some farmland, i was surrounded by Tall trees, normally i would have gazed in awe at their beauty, tonight though they where menacing shadows closing in on all sides. I collapsed under a bridge. I lay on the sandy bank,the small shells dug into my elbows and head, there was water running a few feet away, it was only a stream but in my head it sounded like a torrent, a deafening roar, I could see torches flickering in a nearby cottage. The occupants laughing heartily, knowing nothing of what was happening out in the darkness. This was my bed for the night. I would not return to the safehouse. Its name no longer had meaning.
