Isobella had went to her parents house expecting it just to be a family dinner. She had dressed up in her favorite pale blue dress that reached her knees. The dress was silk and satin, it was the only expensive piece of clothing she owned. When she arrived to her parents house it was to find that her mother had invited a colleague of her's as well as his son. She knew how this was going and managed with her father's help to sneak out of the house without being seen. She walked down the streets of London trying to not want to yell at her mother for this. She knew that her mother was worried because she was a single mother raising a child by herself. Bella of course also felt insulted to having a guy pushed on her like that, she knew that she wasn't going back for another dinner.
She wasn't paying attention to where she was going so when she looked up nothing looked familiar. She groaned as she looked around trying to figure out where she was. Seeing a sign she blew out a breath seeing that she was on the other side of town. Turning around she began to trudge her way home making sure that she was staying where there was light along the streets just in case. Bella was starting to get exhausted from walking and the heels she was wearing weren't helping either. She wanted to sit down for a little while to rest before walking the rest of the way home. Finding a bench up ahead she sat down on it as she checked her purse for her wand just on the safe side.
Bella sat there for twenty minutes before finally getting up, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that someone was following her. She kept her stride even as she walked making sure that they didn't realize that she knew they were there. She didn't know who it was that followed her but she wanted to make sure that she lost them soon. They were getting closer to her every block she went so she looked around like she was trying to see where she was going. She saw that they were two hundred feet from her but she couldn't see their face, it was hidden in the cloak they were wearing. Acting on instinct and no longer being able to help herself anymore she took off running to her right. She kicked off her shoes because they were slowing her down, she ran barefooted down the street. She started to lose them and ducked in somewhere that they didn't see her go. Ten minutes passed she saw them run past her and down the street then around the corner. Bella breathed out a sigh of relief and shivering at the same time, she walked out of her hiding place then headed back to where she left her shoes. Finding them and slipping them on making sure her feet didn't have an pebbles stuck to them. She hated it when there was that one muggle who thought it would be easy to steal a woman's purse and take off with it.
Bella blew out a sigh as she started making her way to the Leaky Cauldron for something to drink and hopefully wanting to get warmed back up.
