*It was quite some time before Ciara finally returned to the inn, but when she did, her money pouch was full and jingling at her side. When she walked through the door and into the warm room, she immediately noticed that the woman she freed was now playing for all those seated in the tavern. Leaning against the wall beside the door, Ciara watched silently from beneath the shadows of her black hood, not wanting to interrupt.*

Jade had been staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours. She wasnt the slightest bit sleepy. She was thinking about her life, Uri, The others she had met on her jorneys, and what she should do or go next. SHe really didnt want to go off on her own again. Last time she had done that she was almost killed and was lucky she had made it to this town. She loved being alone sometimes but she knew she alone could not take one all the bad stuff that my stumble in her path. She finally got up off the bed and walked over to the door. she put on her cloak and walked out. SHe was still in her night gown but she covered it with the cloak. SHe walked down the stairs where everyone was and out of the door. It was still storming but it had dies down just a bit. She then began walking around the town to cleasr her mind.

The people in the tavern became transfixed with her playing. Some people were sad, crying softly to her lyrics, other's laughed a bit, and most were in awe over her skill with the harp and her beautiful voice. The pile of gold coins on the table in front of her grew slowly, and in Allana's head she was doing a good job to repay her mistress, of whom she owed a great deal. So she continued singing and playing for the regular's, making steadily more and more money.

As jade walked through the town she noticed no one was out. They were all hiding from the rain and the storm. She walked out onto a feild where many live animals roamed. She lay on the wet grass. She let the rain fall upon her face and loved it. The storm had calmed somemore and it was clearing. She breathed in the fresh air the rain left. It was lovely and exatly what she had needed. She felt so connected with the outdoors. She knew that the earth and nature would never betray her. She closed her eyes. She fell asleep right where she was laying. She didnt mind doing it. It was to relaxing to resist.

Suddenly she slowed down and faded her song out, noticing how large the pile of change became. With a bow she pushed all the coins into her opened cloak, revealing her...clothes. They were leathers, showy leathers, basically just coverings. They did nothing to hide the scars that covered virtually every inch of her body. A large brand was on her right chest, it was an upside-down anarchy symbol with a heart in the middle. As she walked over to the table with the folded up cloak and her harp everyone couldn't help but eye her...

Laluli looked for a moment at the woman, shocked. She walked swiftly to her, gently taking an arm. She looked up at the woman's face then. "How long were you treated like this?"
It was obvious the scar tissue that covered the woman was no accident, not all of it for sure.

With a deeply pained sigh, Allana looked down at the girl with teary eyes. "For...most of my life..." She says, sobbing quietly to herself. "They...whipped me...cut me...did such unspeakable defilings to my body...and all fro what? My father's misdoings and selling me to the order...the Order of Magdala...now i owe my new mistress a life debt i will never be able to pay..." She says, wiping a tear from her eye, and rubbing the girl on her head. She was filled with a warm feeling as she looked at this innocent girl, the girl with the purest heart she had ever seen.
She sighed a bit for a moment, noticing everyone staring at her attire. "They never even properly clothed me..." She said, as everyone quickly turned to look at something else, not wanting to offend the woman. A scar on her shoulder looked to be lettering, spelling out A L L A N A, and it was presumebly her name, cut into her flesh. It permanently branded her...something she would never escape.

Laluli had to work to unclench her jaw at the woman's words and the site of her, though the rest of her remained a bit stiff. She spotted the letters on her shoulder and said, "Allana? Such things will never happen to you again."
Laluli turned then, tugging slightly on Allana's arm. "Come, I have some extra clothes."

"I...I don't think the mistress would like me to leave..." Allana said, looking down at the laether straps that covered her body. She let loose a pained sigh, looking back up at Laluli, "Then again...a little clothing wouldn't hurt..." She said standing up. Though her flesh was tight and defined to a small extent, the scar's made it look disgusting, especialy the one's on her legs. One scar went all the way down the length of her spinal chord, from the bottom of her head down. She might have had some grafting done by the evil people she was forced to be with...

"It's just in the back, and she has no right to make you do anything anyway," Laluli said, leading Allana back. In her offset in the backroom, she opened her bad and pulled out some clothes, simple and good for wear, as all her clothing was. "Here."

Allana took her clothes and looked at them. Better then anything she ever had before, "Wow...this is...too luxurious for me...." She said, admiring the simple, plain style clothing that was in her hands. THe material was soft, yet durable and rough, and she enjoyed the feeling of it.

Laluli smiled softly, hiding her pity. "They certainly are not. Put them on, they're comfortable enough."

Jade woke up just as the rain stopped. The sun was just about to rise even though it was still dark outside. SHe walked back to the tavern soaked in rain. As she walked in the tavenr was almost deserted besides a few people. She walked to her room. She quickly changed into a leather mini and a black corset with light blue trim. She put on her jewlery and other peices of her outfit. SHe placed her straps and chains on her skirt. She packed up and got ready. This would be the day that she finally left this town and set out on her own. Uri had not returned and she thought he had the right idea. This place was dull. She walked down and headed out the door of the tavern. As she walked she thought about the people she met there. But she quickly blocked them oand headed into the wood. She wanted to get an early start before the sun got to hot.

Allana sliped into the tight-fitting clothes the little girl handed her, sighing with the comfort. Though not to fancy, they in her eye's were very luxurious... And she felt so bad that Laluli had to give them up. "When i can afford my own...i will return these..." She said, tugging on the small ruffles that lined the sleeves of the blouse she was given. if a bit small.

"Until then, you're welcome to any of my clothes, okay?" Laluli said, patting Allana on the shoulder. "But anyway, that instrument you play, what is it?"
