The peasant girl, again

There doesn't seem to be much in this shitty town that could catch your interest after all, and you're nearly about to turn and head towards the castle right away after all... Then you notice the young peasant girl from before, as she comes back to pick up the bundle of crops that she dropped in the middle of the street when she ran away.

Grinning to yourself, you pretend that you didnt notice her as you make your way through the crowd and into an alley. You saw which way she ran the first time and, even though half-ogres doesn't have a reputation for being excessively intelligent, you can easily asume that'd be the same way as she'll be walking while going home...

Your long, powerful legs takes you quickly through the alley's and the few people that you meet quickly step aside and press themselves to the walls to keep from being trampled down.

After a few minutes you start steering left, and soon arrive at a small square. Looking down the street, you spot the girl again as she slowly make her way in your direction, sometimes stopping and looking back as if afraid that someone could be following her. With another wicked grin on your lips, you start walking while staying a good bit ahead of the girl to make sure she doesn't notice you...

Things seem to be going according to plan, as you just keep walking and pretending to be interested in this crappy town, but the further you come from the town center, the more traces do you see of the beasts and demons who have invaded the land...

A stench of fire and the distant sounds of battle reaches you, and you feel your half-ogre blood start to boil with lust for combat... Just then, you hear a scream from somewhere behind you, and you quickly spin around, your hand instinctively reaching for the axe hanging at your side...!
