With renewed resolve, Nora's pace quickened further. She was headed for the servants' quarters but was unsure if she would even reach the building. A guard was chasing her, and judging by the increasing volume of the soggy thuds, that guard was catching up. That was quite a feat since Nora wasn't slow. No normal being could match her pace. 'This is impossible! Unless-- he's not human. Could he be a vampire? Maybe one of the other immortals, even. A werewolf? Ugh. I don't know, but… -

Even if Nora had given in to temptation and taken a look behind her, it would have done her no good. Whether the nobles were near or far, whether the guard came through the window or the door, her plan remained the same. Evade. Run away. Don't get caught.

Underfoot, the wooden shingles glistened with rain and threatened to send Nora spiraling down to the muddy ground below.

Rain pitter-pattered on the shingles of a cobblestone manor. Swirling designs of flowers and vines were etched into the walnut columns holding up the roof of its wrap-around porch. On the porch was a well-crafted loveseat with a small matching table. Inside windows, glittering gold decor and sizeable art hung on the walls. All of it must have cost a fortune.
