Drake led the way through the main street of Draco Town. He realized that everyone was still in the tavern. There was no one there to know they had even arrived. The dirt streets were empty, and all the shops were closed. Even the inn had a sign on the door alerting everyone that it was closed.
Drake walked down the street with his cohort following behind him. He still held Nelly in his arms, with Renn trying to comfort her. She was still in her rat form as she nuzzled Nelly, who clutched her new doll, her grip getting tighter as they moved deeper into town. Drake could tell that she was getting scared. T was far more than she was before.
When he arrived at the tavern, he went straight to a window and peered in. "Nelly, do you see any of the ones that took you?" he asked her gently. She needed to tell him so he had something to go by. Somewhere to start.
