Cautiously, a man in black crept through the dark shadows searching
for his next victim. Just than, something caught his eyes- a woman with a
long fur coat and rubies all over her. This is the one, he thought to
himself. He stealthily snuck up behind her and reached into her expensive
diamond covered purse. His nimble fingers clasped the money-filled wallet
as he slid his hand out with practiced ease. With a grin of satisfaction,
he took off smiling evilly.
The young lad turned a corner and stopped to catch his breath. "Philip," he thought to himself, "You truly are an expert at this." He was examining the contents of his prized possession when he heard loud commotion coming from just around the corner. He walked around silently and spotted a girl on the cobbled dirt ground being beaten and yelled at by a large man.
"Excuse me sir, but is there a problem?"
"Your darn right there is! This 'ere lass tried to steal me apples!" the man spat angrily.
Philip looked down at the curled up girl. Her face was tilted up at him and her blue-grey eyes were staring up, straight at his. Her brown curls fell into her dirty tiny face. She had a stubborn chin that stuck out with pride. He liked the looks of her.
"If you don't mind sir, I'd like to take her from your hands." Philip said looking the man directly in the eyes.
"Go ahead. She's all yours. I have no use for her, but if I catch her stealin from me again. She's dead meat!"
"Come on lass, let's go," Philip commanded. The girl cautiously stood up and followed.
"What's your name girl?"
"Daine."
"Well Daine, my name's Philip. I'll tell you what. You obviously have nowhere to stay and me and my gang are in need of some assistance, with our...job. We'll teach you all you need to know about being a thief. We'll give you a home and food, but in return, you must steal for us. Make sense?" Philip asked, his blue eyes looked down at her intensely.
"Y-Yes. Thank you. I've been looking for a place to stay for a while. Even if it is with thieves." Daine replied, watching as his sandy blonde hair fell into his beautiful eyes.
The young lass followed Philip into a nearby dirty building and looked around. There were two men sitting on an old, worn out, blue sofa and a pretty blonde woman sitting on one of the men's lap flirting.
"You guys," Philip said getting their attention. "I'd like to introduce you to a new recruit. Her name's Daine."
The woman Daine had seen earlier stood up, "She's gonna be a beauty alright," she said observing the lass. "My name's Rochelle, and I've got loads to teach you youngin. This ere's Paul." She said gesturing to the man she was just flirting with. His hazel eyes were bright and he had brownish blonde hair. He waved to her, "Welcome to the Silent Stormers."
"And this ere's Frank." Daine's eyes darted from Paul to Frank. Frank was the odd one out. The rest were beautiful people, but Frank was well, the ugly duckling. He had large ears, messy brown hair, and gaps in his teeth.
"Hey Philip, I know the real reason you brought this lass. You were sick of bein the youngest one here! He's only a few years older than you lass, believe it or not." Paul said smartly.
Philip blushed and shook his head. "Don't listen to these bone heads Daine. You'll be sharin a room with Rochelle. She'll be helpin you and givin you advice about your new "job". It's getting late, so you'd better take her to your room Rochelle." Philip stated.
"Come on lass. Let's go."
Daine followed Rochelle into a small, pleasant room. There were two small beds and a bathing area. "The bed to the right is yours." Rochelle remarked. "You better get to sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow."
The young girl prepared for bed and after, slipped under the warm comfortable covers. For once, in a long time, Daine finally felt like she had a home.
