We jump out the window, and I guide them towards the first hiding spot we secured.
We are almost running, in a very weird way that only a group of invisible people trying to flee for their lives while holding hands can.
I admit that if we were visible, it would make for a great comedy act, with the number of times people tripped and stumbled on each other and all the desperate whispers.
For the first few minutes things are going as smoothly as they can, but soon a troop of city guards appears in the street, running in the opposite direction.
I freeze, hoping nobody is on their way.
They pass by us, probably hurrying to that place. Nobody moved or made a sound while they were visible.
As soon as I deem it safe, I whisper for everyone to keep going.
If we stop too many times, we won't make it to the first hiding spot before the invisibility spell ends.
We hear shouts here and there. Apparently, the city guards are on high alert.
