Drake Strikes Again

Caleb was on his way back from the market  place, he was still a novice, yes rank 2, but that meant more responsivities to have and this was getting some needed cooking herbs for the Friar, he  also got some dried fruits ,sugar, flour  and salt. With him was an abbey Sister, one Sister Jane a very friendly otter maid.

Cynthia went along for the trip as well, she was picking some blue and yellow flowers for decoration for tables, even normal days tables should look nice.

Drake was unseen in the woods, he spotted them and ducked behind a thorn bush by the abbey wall and stayed silent as he watched “Well well as I said,  not like someone would never go outside again.”

Caleb smiled “Almost home, but staying home may have been a good idea love”

Cynthia shakes her head “I can’t always stay at the abbey and I did promise  Xander I would help out in the Ferravale Tavern and I haven’t since the Summer Feast.”

Also out for a walk is Texo, he had always wanted to see the abbey and today was the first day he wasn’t busy with building this or that or repairing something. “Whoa….it’s big!”

Drake just grinned, he then stepped onto the road in front of the two mice and the otter “Hello..miss me?”

Caleb smiled faded as he seen Drake and narrows his eyes “Stay away from us you’re not welcome here Drake”

Cynthia backed up and frowned “What are you doing here Drake, go away”

Texo slowed and stared at the gathering “Umm..excuse me? Is there trouble, should I get a guard?”

Sister Jane went in quickly getting the market stuff they got inside while Caleb crossed his arms over his chest “Not needed cause Drake was on his way down the road…right Drake?”

Drake just smirked and walked up to the mouse and without much of a warning went to punch him in the face!

Texo looked between them :Ok mice fighting mice….this is interesting and I think I will go inside now” He walks on inside, maybe he should get some help…yeah good plan there Texo, good plan.

Caleb is not a fighter, nor did he expect to be knocked out as he hits the ground unconcious.

Cynthia gasps “Caleb!!”  She goes to quickly check a pulse, for any swelling and Drake is totally forgotten as she has 100% focus on Caleb now.

Drake watches and then goes to grab the mouse maid from behind, a dagger laid by her neck “ You’re going with me and a no gets your pretty throat slit wide open and you die, understand Cynthia?”

Caleb is alive, but he will have a swollen jaw and a black eye when he wakes up. He stays unconcious.

Cynthia nods “I..understand, I will go with you” Tears go down her face.

Drake smirks…”Good” He then quickly drags her into the woods as voices are heard, he whispers to her “No screaming….let’s get outta here”

The voices belong to Leon and a Ferravale Guard, also Bandit is with them….almost to the gate he sees Caleb on the ground and Leon rushes forwards, He sends the others inside as he checks over his son and then picks him up and heads to the infirmary with a frown…..worry fills his mind now as well as anger to whoever did this and he has a deep bad feeling it was Drake, but details will have to wait till Caleb awakens…..the bells of the abbey sound off as he heads on inside, lunch time but he will skip lunch today.
