“Great..” She breathed sarcastically as he admitted he didn’t have a plan of escape yet. Penelope flinched as he gave her arm a tug. She turned sharply to follow him, glancing over her shoulder again to look towards the approaching knights as they headed down the alley way. As the pathway narrowed, Penelope fell behind Crow as he took the lead and continued to turn sharply through the alleyways and followed without question. Soon she began to notice that the knight’s footsteps had disappeared and she felt a bit of relief at the realization, even though they continued onward to make sure they had truly lost them. 

Once they finally came to a stop, she moved to lean back against the wall, panting hard as she tried to catch her breath. Her lungs and legs burned from all the sprinting. She looked up at him as he shot her a cocky grin. Between her breaths, she gave a small snort. “I think you’re crazy.” She said leaning her head against the wall. “Who the hell thinks almost getting shot by an arrow like that is a good idea!”

The knight shook her head and let out a long sigh. “At least I get part of the reason why it’s so hard to catch you now. No one would dare think you’d do something like that.” Penelope certainly didn’t approve of such a risky action but she could respect it’s effectiveness. She looked over at him and smirked a little. “Let’s hope not.” She said as he mentioned his reputation spreading. 

She pushed herself off the wall and glanced down the alleyway. They had taken so many sharp turns through this maze of backstreets that she hadn’t been keep tracking of which one would lead them back to the main road. Penelope crossed her arms and clicked her tongue before turning to look over at Crow. “Any chance you know which way we should go?” She asked him.
