New story, it's a request by a friend of mine.
The first chapter is quite dull and uneventful but the next chapters will certainly entertain you =) (I hope)
I don't own Kim Possible or anything else Disney related. If I did.. it wouldn't always have a happy ending and that's not Disney like XD
Enjoy
When you find the one…
It was a rainy and gloomy evening. Upon the roofs of Middleton a dark figure was looking down at the people on the streets. Watching how they crawled around without a care in the world. The figure sniffed lightly and moved away. Running across the roofs, jumping across some of the narrow alleys along the way.
Not everybody had a good life, a life without worries. A life where someone cared for you and you could do whatever you want. Some people had to live in the shadows of others. Some people had to struggle just to get along. Though as a skilled thief this shadowy figure knew how to survive perfectly fine. Having years of experience helped the thief live quite a normal life. How it had gotten so far was a memory that had been hidden away, deep inside. Though even if it hadn't been hidden, there wasn't a single soul that would listen to the thief's story.
The thief in question pulled a hood up, making sure the rain wasn't of annoyance. With a slight huff the thief jumped onto a fire escape. The boots connected with the steel of the ladder with a loud echoing thump. Gloved fingers slid underneath a windowsill and lifted the window. The thief was met with a wave of warmth coming out of the apartment.
With a sigh she entered the apartment, pulling her hood down and revealing her fiery red hair. Her vibrant green eyes looked around the small bedroom and she quickly discarded her cloak.
"Home sweet home." She muttered softly as she discarded her heavy boots as well. She ran a hand through her hair before she reached into her pocket. She pulled out a gold chain with a ruby-colored stone in it. She eyed the chain appreciatively before she hid it in a drawer along with a few other stolen items.
It had been a successful night; she had managed to steal an expensive chain, some other expensive jewelry and a generous amount of money. At nether of the thefts she had been caught nor seen, let alone recognized. Outside her apartment she seemed like a normal red headed girl. Nobody expected her to be a master thief, hell nobody even expected her to harm a butterfly. Though once she had her eye on something expensive or rare she just had to get it.
It was a clear case of looks can be deceiving and everybody who took a look at her was immediately deceived. The moment she wanted something she would cloak up and stealthy go in and retrieve that what she wanted. Apart from being a thief she was also a school-going girl. She had just hit her twenty's and she had enrolled in Middleton's only college program. She currently lived alone and in complete solitude.
With a soft yawn she walked through her apartment, discarding more and more of her clothing. She ended up in her shower and turned the knobs of the water. She waited for it to turn the right temperature and with a sigh she stepped underneath the stream of warm water. Her eyes closed immediately and her body relaxed in an instant. Her muscles, tight because of her late-night mission, relaxed as well.
She washed everything, her body, her hair and turned the shower off. She walked back into her bedroom whilst toweling her hair dry before she tossed it to the side. It had been a long exhausting night and she thanked god that she didn't have any classes tomorrow. She took every opportunity she had to steal and sometimes it gave her a hard time getting up for college the next morning. Though she had found a way to combine school and her love for theft.
She would steal a bit more on days she didn't have school. Though on days she did have school she'd take it easy, knowing that she shouldn't tire herself out.
Tiredly the thief let herself fall onto her modest-sized bed and she crawled underneath the covers. A part of the night was over but she was determined to get her 8 hours of sleep. She would always sleep through the night and she'd wake up somewhere around 2 or 3 PM. Her eyes immediately fell shut and within seconds she was fast asleep.
Her apartment was quiet, clothes were strewn across the floor and she was sleeping peacefully. The only movements in the house were her own; every few moments she would turn in her sleep and everything would be motionless afterwards.
The remains of the night passed by slowly and to a few people it was the moment to wander through the streets. To others it was the moment to catch up on some rest, just like Kim Possible. The red headed thief slept through the night and even through a part of the next day.
The moment she awakened it was about 4pm and she sat up in bed slowly. With a yawn she stretched, reaching for the roof with her hands. Her eyes scanned the room tiredly and she noted that she really had to clean the place.
"Another day, another theft." She said softly and she climbed out of bed. She walked around the room, lazily picking up the discarded clothes. She sniffed on a few items, deciding if she had to wash them yes or no. A few ended up in the bathroom at bottom of the washing machine and the rest ended up on a chair in her bedroom.
"Now that I've taken care of that…." She muttered and she dressed herself slowly. She decided to go out for lunch today but only because of pure laziness. She grabbed some money out of her goody-drawer, zipped up her coat and left the apartment.
Outside it was sunny and bright, a nice temperature for a day in August. She walked down the street unzipping the zipper of her coat again. She headed for a small bistro; one that sells outstanding sandwiches with freshly squeezed orange juice. The thought alone made her mouth fill up with water and her stomach growl.
As she walked her eyes were fixated on the ground beneath her feet. Her hands were in her pockets and without knowing it she walked into somebody. She crashed into a larger body, snapping her out of her thoughts and sending her towards the ground. She landed rather hard on the pavement and groaned in pain.
"You'd better be careful." A sensual voice wafted through the air.
Kim looked up at the owner, coming face to face with a beautiful pale woman. Gorgeous emerald green eyes were gazing at her and an entertaining smirk graced black-painted lips. The unknown female stuck out her hand, offering it to Kim.
Hesitantly the red head accepted the hand and she could swear she could hear the other female gasp softly. She was pulled to her feet and the woman held her close. Those green eyes captured Kim's in some kind of trance and she felt herself blush for the first time in 3 years.
"You don't wanna get hurt do you? I suggest you pay a bit more attention." The woman said.
Kim swallowed hard and gave a slight nod.
"T-thanks." The oh-so-great thief mumbled shyly. She suddenly didn't feel so great anymore. This unknown woman did something to her, stirred something within her that hadn't been stirred for years.
"Not a problem, princess." The pale woman spoke softly, her lips close to Kim's ear. The red head suppressed a shiver and the woman suddenly let go of her. "Don't go walking into any strangers alright pumpkin?" She said almost as if she was claiming the girl.
Kim nodded quickly, her eyes wide as she watched how the pale woman strode off. Her eyes remained fixed on the woman until she disappeared out of view. The red head shook her head in confusion before she headed to the bistro again. Not knowing if that had just happened she walked into the small bistro and took a seat at a table in the corner.
She ordered her lunch, exchanging a few flirty words with the blond waitress and took her time devouring it all. The two sandwiches disappeared quickly and a glass of juice followed swiftly. She winked at the waitress giving her a generous tip before she left the bistro again. By the time she was out on the street again it was almost 6 o'clock.
"So much for lunch, I can almost start with dinner." She muttered as she headed back home. She walked back to her house, entered her apartment and turned the TV on. The first channel she hit was the news and right before she wanted to switch channels something caught her eye.
"I am here with Mister James Strego, the current owner of the Strego jeweler. This jeweler has a very rare collection of jewelry and he is going to tell us why they're so rare." A brunette reporter spoke overly happy and a bald older man appeared on screen. "Tell us Mister Strego, what makes your collection so special?"
Kim moved forward, inching closer to the TV and turning up the volume, listening intently.
"Well Miss Takawaka this set of jewels was supposedly a part of a collection owned by a very famous Count. The count was a fan of rare jewels and collected items from all over the world. What people didn't know was that his collection was quite large. These jewels came in my possession through an auction and now they're for sale. Legend tells that there's one chain that possesses a certain unknown power. The power in question was what attracted The Count and made him buy the jewel."
"So you are saying that some of these jewels possess a power that attracted the count?" The reporter questioned and the man gave a nod in reply.
"So how much is your collection worth now?" She asked and the man on TV laughed a bit.
"Well it's estimated to be above a few hundred million. That was also a reason for me to update my security." Mr. Strego explained.
"Thanks for your story Mr. Strego and let's just hope that no thief is dumb enough to try and steal this collection." The reporter said and the screen went back to the studio.
Kim fell back against her couch, a big smile on her face. A huge opportunity to steal something extremely valuable just presented itself on the TV! It couldn't get any better than that for her. It was going to be like…. Stealing candy from a baby! She quickly rushed to her desk, flipping her laptop open and went online. She searched for the jeweler, looking at pictures and the location in the street. She examined the entire thing on the Internet, figuring out how she could enter the building.
After almost half an hour she figured that she could enter through the roof. All she had to do was open a very well locked hatch and bypass the security. With the same big smile on her face she leaned back in her chair. She wanted that chain, she didn't know why but it sounded awesome. She wasn't attracted to power but the idea that it attracted a famous Count was very tempting.
Her eyes wandered to the clock and it was around 7 o'clock.
"Way too early to steal it." She mumbled to herself. She had to wait a few hours before she could go out and steal the chain. She couldn't risk being seen even though she was eager to get the piece of jewelry. She had to come up with something she could do to kill the time. With a sigh she thought of one thing she had to do. One thing she hadn't done for 2 years. She rose to her feet, grabbed her jacket and was on her way once again.
She walked fast, pulling up her collar slightly as she moved down the street.
Unknown to her a pair of eyes followed her moves. The owner of those eyes smirked, keeping her in sight at all times.
Kim came to a stop, a shiver running down her back. She looked around, scanning the area around her. She could swear that someone was watching her. Without knowing that it was true she continued her walk. She was deep in thought, trying to figure out what she was going to say. She didn't know how she was going to handle the situation.
Whilst mumbling to herself with a puzzled look on her face she once again bumped into something. Or someone. Though this time she didn't fall. A pair of arms wrapped around her waist and she was pulled to her feet. She looked up, her eyes once again meeting those, now familiar, emerald green eyes.
"Hello again," The female spoke with the same grin on her face. "Didn't I tell you not to walk into strangers anymore?" She questioned and Kim felt herself blush once again.
"You.. You're not really a stranger anymore." She said and she watched how the woman raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"You can't say you know me," The pale woman spoke. "Though you can say you've seen me before, so I accept your argument. Would you… like to know me better?" She questioned with a very suggestive tone.
Kim stuttered something incoherent and pulled herself free from the woman. She took a few steps back, her face bright red.
"N-no thank you, uhm maybe some other time. I'm busy today." The red head spoke quickly.
The pale woman simply smiled, watching how the blushing red head walked by in a hurry. She looked after the girl and she could feel something growing. The need to be with the girl, she had thought of Kim ever since the first time they bumped into each other.
"I wonder… what she tastes like." The woman spoke to herself and absentmindedly she licked her lips, her tongue gliding across white fangs. She swallowed hard and with some willpower she tore her gaze from Kim's back and walked away.
That was weird. Kim thought as her mind wandered back to the pale woman. It had been the second time she had walked into the woman. The second time that the woman had held her close. Even worse it had been the second time in years that she blushed. The thoughts of the woman were enough to make Kim's head spin.
With an indescribable look on her face she took a sharp right, walking through an open gate. She walked across the ground, every now and then taking a turn. She walked over the grass with a concentrated look in her eyes. She came to a stop just a few feet away from what she was looking.
She swallowed again and dropped to her knees.
"Here lies Ann Possible,
Beloved wife and Mother
May her soul have peace." Kim read out loud. Her eyes scanned the next few tombstones. One by one she read the stones of her family members. James Possible, Jim Possible and last but not least Tim Possible. Thoughts of how they had died had haunted Kim for years. The accident had been terrifying and she was the only one who pulled through. The moment she heard her family hadn't survived the accident her whole life got shattered. From that moment on she started a life of theft. She had nothing left to live for and was left alone.
Her friends, Monique and Ron had tried to cheer her up but with no results. Kim pushed them away, afraid she might be hurt even more if they were to die as well. She locked herself away, living in complete solitude. On daily basis she almost didn't say a thing. She had become quiet and along with being a thief it was her way to live with her grief.
"I'm so.. so sorry I couldn't save you." Kim spoke in a broken voice. The tears welled up in her eyes and she sniffed loudly. "I wanted to be there for you but I wasn't on time. Forgive me, mom forgive me please. Dad… my little brothers… tweebs.. I love you all so much." By now the tears had made their way out of her eyes and onto her cheeks. She sobbed telling them how sorry she was over and over again.
She literally collapsed at her family's grave. She told them everything that was on her heart and her mind. She prayed that they were at a better place now. She hoped that they would forgive her for being what she was. Forgive her for being too late, for not being able to save them on time. She didn't know how long she spent crying at their graves.
The sun had already set when her tears finally stopped. She felt like she didn't have any tears left. She felt dry but in someway she felt relieved as well. Though the remorse she felt remained. With a heavy sigh she left the graveyard. Her mind set to one thing. She was going to steal that million-dollar chain and nothing was going to stop her. She made a stop at her apartment, changing into her mission clothes and throwing her cloak around her shoulders.
Around 2 at night she finally arrived at the jeweler. With her thief-skills she easily climbed the building, jumping onto the roof with her heavy boots. She examined the roof and her eyes fell upon the hatch that was going to give her access to the building.
Before she started working on the hatch she walked to the edge of the building. She kneeled and looked down at the street seeing that it was almost completely empty. The only people she could see were a couple of hundred meters away. They weren't a threat to her mission and with a grin on her face she rose to her feet again. With her eyes still fixed on the street she turned and walked across the roof.
She got the shock of her life when she walked into something. A pair of very familiar arms wrapped around her waist and something in her mind screamed: You've got to be kidding me!
She looked up and her mind repeated itself. Once again, for the third time that day, she stared up into emerald green eyes.
The woman was wearing that same grin again and her eyes sparkled slightly. Her arms tightened around Kim's waist and the red head had no choice but to wrap her arms around the woman as well. She leaned with her head against the woman's shoulder and remained quiet. She shuddered slightly when she felt warm breath on her ear, followed by the words:
"We've got to stop meeting like this."
Kim is .. is a thief! Mygod! Yes.. she's a thief. WHY? Because her family is dead...
Her family is dead? Yes her family is dead... HOW? You will find that out in some of the other chapters. But not now.
Who is this pale-green-eyed woman? We all know who she is. But why does she have fangs? =| We all know why she has fangs as well. Why do.. 'Pale' People have fangs?
What Count, who owned the jewels, am I talking about? I have no freaking Idea.. it sounded good.
I told you this chapter was quite uneventful... it was more of an.. intro.
The next chapter will be a bit more entertaining. (probably)
Hope you enjoyed it for now!
Yours truly,
WPJ
