All your fault. He moved quickly over to the tent flaps and looked out.
Half the County Fair was heading towards him.
He ducked back into the tent, ran to the rear, and cut himself an exit
in the thick canvas wall.
The edge of the Forest wasn$prime;t too far away. If he was quick on his feet
he could lose himself in the trees before the villagers could catch him,
and then they$prime;d never find him. The cry went up as they spotted him
again, and he ran for the trees. It didn$prime;t take him long to realize he
wasn$prime;t going to make it. He was out of shape, and the villagers were
gaining on him. He stumbled to a halt and glared back at his pursuers.
It only took a moment to draw his bow and nock an arrow to the string.
The pursuers were being led by a guard. Wilde hesitated. I can$prime;t shoot a
fellow guard. I can$prime;t … He cursed calmly.
He couldn$prime;t let them take him.
He shot the guard in the throat, and the impact of the arrow threw the
man backwards off his feet. The running crowd began to stumble to a
halt. Wilde shot two more of them, just to be safe, and then turned and
headed for the trees again. He$prime;d almost got there when his foot caught
in a concealed hole, and he fell heavily to the ground. He heard as much
as felt the bone snap in his leg.
He tried to get to his feet again, and couldn$prime;t. It was an effort just
to get air into his lungs. He looked dazedly round for his bow, but it
had fallen out of reach. And then the villagers arrived. The first to
get there kicked Wilde in the ribs, and the bowman fell backwards, too
short of breath even to cry out. The villagers crowded around him,
screaming Rape and Murder until their voices merged into a single harsh
rythm ugly with bloodlust.
