I hope you enjoy my story( and my other stories). Please tell me what you think of this story! I hope you like it! Here's the story!

Prologue

The Diplomat hurried between streets. Her long legs going as fast as they could. She glanced back at her crew. They were mostly all females, except for one male who protected their camp and their valuables. They called him Small Bob. He was a strong and dangerous man to enemies and she was glad to have him. She fingered her dagger. She called her dagger, Flure. She had always thought it sounded cool. She waved the dagger in the air, the metal reflecting light. The Diplomat shook her head as she watched some of her most light footed ladies trip on the roots of a tree. The Diplomat groaned. She would have to find a good, concealed camp for the night soon. The Diplomat stopped for a moment watching her crew. They were all experts and some of her best friends. At times they could be clumsy and rude, but they were her crew. The Diplomat stepped in the bushes watching her crew sneak along the narrow road. She smiled at her friend, Astria who was failing quite badly at strutting. Astria noticed the Diplomat and came over to her.

"We need a name for you besides the Diplomat. That's just what the victims call you, but we, your crew need a name for you," Astria said boldly.

"What do you want to call me? I haven't had a real name and it's really gotten to me," the Diplomat admitted.

Astria grinned and rubbed her hands together. "How about Raven?"

The Diplomat considered the name for a minute. "Sure," she said happily.

"Raven, I am proud to call you my leader and best friend," Astria announced to everyone.

Raven grinned. She fingered her long, blonde hair. Her crew mates came up to her and gave her a couple, hearty slaps on the backs. Small Bob seemed the most excited.

"I finally get to call you something besides Diplomat," he said giving a big smile. He lifted her up on his shoulders and carried her forward the path.

Raven gave a hooray and pumped her fist in the air. She spotted one of their usual hiding places in the trees, a giant platform set in the trees.

"Guys! We stop for the night at our treehouse," Raven shouted.

The crew climbed onto the platform to settle for the night.
