Thief

"Get back here you piece of trash!" The merchant shouted and threw a rag at the brunette teenage boy with spiky hair who was climbing the side of a sandy covered building with a black sack attached to his back. The boy ducked as the rag landed on his shoulder. The boy held onto the ledge of the roof as he grabbed the rag.

"Thanks for the napkin!" The boy waved the rag at the merchant and heaved himself over the edge of the building's roof and onto the tile. The boy ran a bit leaping from rooftop to rooftop. He slowed to a stop when he knew the coast was clear. The teenage boy sighed and took off the black sack from his back and opened it to smile at all the food he managed to scavenge from the merchant. The boy counted six Apples; three loafs of Bread and two Watermelons. The boy looked up towards the sky laughing and screamed in excitement to the sky. "Tonight, we feast!" The boy threw the rag into the sack, closed it up and threw the sack back onto his back. Before he ran off he walked to the edge of the building to stare off into the view he had. His view expanding to a sandy city that bustled with merchants and scavengers. A city he has known to call home. The city was called Agrabah. The city was surrounded by a wall and outside the wall were miles and miles of desert with sand dunes and sand storms. The boy turned around to see the palace shining in all its glory. A frown was brought upon the boys face as he scoffed at the building, flipped it off and continued his run to the shabby building he called home.

The boy came to the shabby building with a giant hole broken in the brick siding and he climbed the wall to the second story where he went through a window covered by a red curtain. The boy landed in the room and walked over to a relaxing form of another boy, not too older than him, who had black shaggy hair and looked to be sleeping. The brunette kicked the other boys' leg as he shot awake.

The shaggy haired boy looked around startled until his eyes set upon the other boy. "Sora! Hey, you've returned!"

Sora turned towards the other boy smiling. "Indeed I have. I have a present for you Aladdin!"

Aladdin looked to Sora with a hint of mischief and excitement in his eyes. "Oh yeah? What is it?"

Sora dropped the black sack on the ground in front of Aladdin's feet and opened it excited. "A feast fit for a King!" Aladdin's eyes widened as he grabbed the back of Sora's head and laughed.

"Jesus Sora you are the man!" Aladdin let go of Sora and looked into the bag. "Although this feast is more fit more for a Commoner instead of a King."

Sora shrugged. "As long as it's heaven for a couple of Street Rats I don't care!"

Aladdin looked up towards the boy smiling. "Did I say I have a problem with this magnificent food?" Sora smiled and walked over to the other side of the room to his bed as Aladdin called for his monkey pal Abu to also glorify in the food. The room was a decent yet small room with a window facing South and a giant hole in the side of the brick wall that was covered by a giant sheet that was facing North. To the West and East sides of the room against each wall was a ledge that stuck out into the room from the wall far enough for a person to lie on. The two ledges were covered in blankets and pillows that formed the two teenager's beds. The room itself was covered with items that the boys' have stolen and rugs to give the room a more "home" feel. A small blanket and pillow was against Aladdin's bed for his pet monkey Abu to sleep on. Sora lounged on his bed and closed his eyes and before he knew it, he drifted off into a silent sleep.

"Mom? Dad?" The small brown headed boy came out of his room to find his parents packing their bags full in a hurry. "Mommy? What's going on?" The mother of the boy quickly rushed over and kneeled in front of him.

"Honey, we have to go. Get your things."

The boy stared at his mother confused. "What's going on mommy?"

"Nothing. It's alright sweetie. We have to go." All of a sudden loud banging was heard from the front door.

"This is the Guards from the Grand Palace with orders from the Royal Family. We have a warrant for the arrest of your entire household. Please open your doors immediately. If you do not do as instructed we will resort to violent actions that will be taken to insure your arrest."

The mother grabbed the boy's teddy bear from the counter as the father continued franticly packing.

"What did we do mommy?" The mother came back to the small boy.

"We've done nothing wrong sweet pea. Just the government likes to blame the innocent."

Banging was heard on the door once more. "Please this is your last warning. Open the door and come with us quietly or violent actions will be taken."

The boy's father screamed towards the door. "On what charges? We have done nothing to the Royal Family!"

"On charges of the Princess. New law. You don't pay for rent! You get immediate arrest!"

"Rent? On what?"

"Living less than 20 yards from the Palace Gates."

The father scoffed. "That's absurd! Why should we have to pay to gawk at those giant horrible gates all day! Why are we getting arrested for nothing?"

"Your house resides on the original property line! No pay, no home!"

"You say the Princess made this law? That's absurd! She's only the age of my son! Why are you listening to some five year old child!?"

"These are just orders sir! Open the door or face the consequences!"

"You can go back to the Palace to tell your little Princess that I'm going to shove my foot up her snotty rich little ass!"

"Sir! You just threatened the Princess! That is a federal charge!"

"Federal my ass!"

"That's it. Break this damn door down."

Kicking was heard as the father ran over to the mother and his son. "Lilith! Get out of here!"

The mother looked towards the father. "I'm not leaving you Jet." The mother turned back to the boy. She handed the stuffed teddy bear to her son as she kissed him on the forehead. "Sora, I need you to run. Run as fast and as far as possible and don't look back and don't even think of coming back. Do you understand?"

Sora held the stuffed teddy bear tightly. "Where are you going mommy?"

Jet gently pushed his wife back and grabbed his son gently on the arms. "Son, listen to your mother. We will come back for you. Understand?" The father kissed his son on the head. "Now go. Run!" Jet pushed the boy towards the window as he helped him through and onto the soft ground on the other side. "Go!" Sora then ran like his parents instructed, holding onto the arm of the teddy bear. As he was running he could faintly hear his father say, "We love you" as the bang from the door opening was heard and shouts from the guard were carried across the city. Tears streaked down the boys face as he continued running aimlessly.

Sora opened his eyes and looked around. He saw Aladdin passed out on his bed with Abu sleeping on his chest. Sora got up and walked towards the hole in the wall and pushed back the sheet. His view was nothing but the Palace in the distance. Sora sighed as he looked towards the Palace. Aladdin always looked towards the structure with hope and glee in his eyes, where Sora was the opposite. He despised the Palace and everyone in it, including the Princess herself. Sora wished he could see what the Princess looked like so he could one day hunt her down and hang her from her bedroom balcony like his parents were hung. How could she? She was only five years old and she made that law? If she was never born his parents would still be here with him. Sora didn't think about how he wouldn't have met Aladdin and Abu because he knew that wouldn't be the case. Free running and Parkour were in his blood and either way he would've ran into Aladdin that day while he was practicing. Sora swore he would kill the Princess. Even if his father didn't make the threat towards her they still would've been hung due to letting their son run away from the law. It's her fault. He will make her pay.

Meanwhile:

The red headed girl walked towards the balcony of her home upset. She leaned against the railing of the balcony as she gazed off into the quiet city. She sighed upset. "It's alright Kairi…tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow you are leaving this prison. No more Kairi the Princess. From tomorrow on, you are just Kairi." Kairi starred off towards the city. She's running away and never looking back. Kairi silently wondered to herself, what was out there waiting for her.
