After her time in the shop Raisa wondered the streets of Ba Sing Se heading for the alley that her family had holed up in since they arrived in the city. She hardly noticed the tears running down her cheeks as she walked. Reaching her destination an all too familiar feeling lumped in her stomach; her family was gone, they alley she had been calling home for over a month was empty as if no one had ever been there and in her mind, though she refused to think more on it, she knew she would never see her mother and sisters again.

A week or two had passed since that night when she had lost her family and home. During the day sh wondered the crowded streets hoping to spot one of her sisters who would tell her everything was okay and lead her to the new home they had made and at night she slept near the city gates. Her efforts were in vain and the longer she slept out in the open on the streets the more she could tell the locals were getting annoyed with her presense.
She sat against the stone wall, watchful of the guards in the distance. She had to get out of here, the city wasn't the place for her, especially now that she was all alone, it was time to move on again. Her heart ached to think of leaving without her family, but she knew she would never find them here even if they were still out on the streets and not locked up somewhere.
