I'm lost. A lost little filly abandoned long ago. I've turned into a thief just to get by. My family is all gone. I'm all alone. Oh and by the way name's Araceli. It means alter in the sky since I'm a pegasus. Duh.
"There's that little brat!" Crap that stall guy followed me. "Since guards don't listen, I'll have to take care of you myself." A wry smile played on his bronze face.
He kicked my only knife away from me. I screamed but in this horrible town no pony cares. He grabbed my white wing, pulling me towards him. I was able to turn and bite his arm. I saw in his face all that anger.
He pulled me by my cyan mane ripping some out in the process. I used my back legs to hit him in the face.
"You thieving brat!" I ran out of that alley past the saloon and into the desert, without looking back.
"Close one." A voice behind me said.
I turned to see a red pegasus emerge from behind a cactus.
"Sorry if i scared you. Name's Lightning. You?"
"Araceli. How'd you find me?" He gave an confused look but it disappeared quickly.
"I saw you and that stall vendor fight. Man, you got a kick. I'm a thief myself I ran away a year ago."
"My family died so I'm on my own." He took that to his opportunity.
"You look lonely as can be. You wanna team up." He played a smile.
"Sure. I know you have a job to do. What is it?"
"I'm going to try to lock pick a house owned by my old friend. They have tons of valuable stuff in there. You run in and grab what you can. I'll distract the guards."
I nodded and followed him back into town. There was no sign of the vendor any where. Good, I don't want to be noticed that early.
Lightning gallopped over to a small but sophisticated house. I lock broke and the door opened.
"Good luck. You don't have it easy." Yeah guards don't pay attention here.
Whoa. A lot of purses laying about.
I grabbed six purses that were the only ones filled up. Ok what else. Oh! Food that's essential. I tiptoe to the kitchen, grabbing a few a apples.
"Hey! Loafer guards are sleeping. What did you take?" Lightning whispered.
"Bits and apples. Anything for you?" I said, securing the my bag.
"I got a China vase. Let's get outta here." He said grabbing my hoof, dragging me out.
He kept dragging me till we reached a hole covers in really bad fake sand and paper. Lightning quickly brushed it off and jumped in. "Coming?" I got nothing left to lose.
I landed on a fairly soft cushion.
"Welcome to my house! What's mine is yours." Lightning rested his body on a small chair.
"You've been so kind. I'm glad we're partners." We've been partners ever since.
Sorry if this little prologue was to short. And I like to make a shout out to
LightningTharsh for again letting me use Lightning.
