Peri curled up in a corner on her bedroll, unaware of Torene's departure. She felt small and lonely again, even though she knew--or thought she knew, that Torene was not far. She stared into the darkness, wondering what it was she'd heard in the rafters. She wished she had a door to shut. Then there was the assassin/vampire.

Was it worth it? What would happen if she just went to ground and ignored Bryn's orders? Would they hire the Dark Brotherhood to hunt her down? Would she just drop one day in a tavern or on the road with an arrow in her chest? Or drink a mug of ale and convulse from some poison?

''I never should have gone back. I should have just..''.she didn't know what she should have done. She didn't know what to do now. She had no place to go and no one to care if she did go. Even Torene--she had her own business to take care of. She'd be headed back to the Coven soon. Peri knew she couldn't go back there. All that waited for her there was a cage.

''My whole life is a cage. Trapped is what I am.''
