Here goes nothing.

Rhioe’s eyes scanned the narrow streets. Where was she? She took a hesitant step towards the alley where Myra usually was. Nothing. She sighed and adjusted the heavy satchel strap. She should’ve known someone would find her and take her to a home, life was too tough for a little girl on the streets. She would know.

Rhioe glanced one last time at the alleyway before continuing on her way. She still had several stops to make.

“Rhionna!” A voice cried, and Rhioe turned around to see a young boy of about nine, racing towards her. He grabbed hold of her hand and began dragging her in the opposite direction.

“What’s wrong Numa?” Rhioe asked, tugging her hand free so she could face the little boy.

“Rhioe, it’s Aura, we think she’s dying.” Numa said, swiping at the tears that welled up, his voice thick, “you need to come, quick!” Rhioe nodded and raced after him her bag flopping against her side.

They arrived a few minutes later, at an alley identical to Myra’s and Rhioe had to hold back tears at the thought. she really loved that little girl.

“In here.” Numa whispered, his voice hoarse, and he pulled back a row of ivy from the dead end of the alley, revealing a small archway, and Rhioe followed him in.

Emberynus, that’s as far as I thought up. You can have Judah in there already, or you could do something dramatic. Aura’s a little girl, maybe ten? Let me know what you think!
