Angry villagers

Auora held her head high. She was going to deal with this unfortunate situation with poise and dignity. That's what she wanted to do at least, but she could feel her lip quivering and her knees rattling. The crowd pushed in around her. Children were laughing and staring at the naked woman. Men were leering, letting out cat calls or just enjoying the show. Many people, mostly the town women, were horrified or enraged.

"Please, I need to ask a boon of you people..." Aurora began, but a voice cut her off.

"WHORE!"

Aurora flinched at the word.

"My friends and I were robbed..."

"Harlot!"

"...And we need some clothes and supplies..."

"Slut!"

The crowd was yelling over her. Aurora realized no one was hearing her, or no one cared.

"Run her out of town!"

"Tar and feather the wench!"

"Take her to the stocks!"

Aurora saw a head of cabbage behind tossed at her. She managed to twist her head out of the way, but someone threw a tomato which bounced off her backside, eliciting a laugh and cheer from the crowd.

Aurora realized that the crowd was getting ugly. She wasn't sure what to do. Run? Try to calm everyone down? Fight? Aurora considered her options as the crowd became more and more excited...
