_How did I get here?_

It had only been a month or so (Raine wasn't really sure since her sense of time had been thrown off for the last week or so) since she was milking her cow back in that old town. She'd worked hard to find such a cozy little cabin where she felt like she could be at peace, even if it was just for a little bit. Now all that seemed so far away since Flake came along and reignited the flames of revenge within her. She went from running through the streets, taunting soldiers, to being locked in prison for a second time, to sitting in a cabin in the middle of a forest, cooking meat on a piece of metal with the same man sent to capture her for a bounty.

_Will I finally get peace after all this is over?_

There was no doubt in Raine's mind that she would give her uncle the death her deserved, but would it be enough to give her the peace that she longed for? What if it all ended up being a waste of time? 

The assassin was pulled from her thoughts as Flake spoke up, his voice sounding way louder than it probably was, making her head throb slightly. Being both hungry and beyond tired was not helping the situation. Ignoring the pain, she nodded absentmindedly at his comment, too tired to really respond with a valid response, and flipped over the pieces of meat, hissing slightly as the flames licked a little too closely at her fingers. The girl also noted that the meat was close to being done and it didn't take long for the other side to cook. Raine then stood up grabbed a broken plate from the table to put the sizzling cubes of meat on, swaying slightly as she did so. After handing the plate to Flake, she finally spoke up.

 "Here, taste that. I need to know how well it tastes before I decide to cook the others like so."
