Chapter 1
The Streets
Well think about it. I'm as happy as I can be and then, "bang!", the military comes knocking on my door. My parents, always scared of what the military would do to me and my sis, snuck me and sis out the back and went to speak with the men. They were captured due to harboring thieves, also known as us, Posion and Willow. We weren't all alone we had, Hippie (as I called her), Galaxy (as I also call her), and Christian. We were thieves but, only because we have no home or food. We've stolen metals to make weapons and clothes to make clothes. I wear a white cloak that hides my eyes so I'm not spotted so easily, I've also become accustomed to roof jumping. The others say I'm crazy, but I'm fairly good at it and they have no right to call me crazy, they know it too.
"Today we need more metal to finish all of our weapons, finally for once we have a use for the energy ball, Hippie-" I announced and was interrupted by Hippie.
"Yes Posion?" Hippie said in her always lightened mood.
"You will cause a distraction as me and Christian will go in.", I continued.
"What about me?", Galaxy asked.
"You are a medic, take care of Willow.", I snorted at her.
Galaxy was a medic and Willow was harshly sick. The team moved out, Hippie got into her disguise and quickly ran out like the little girl she acted like. I wasn't happy that she started dancing and singing but at least it got the attention of the blacksmith. I quickly climbed onto the roof of the blacksmith and slid down the back. When I knew the coast was clear I signaled Christian to come.
"That's a lot of metal. Plenty for us.", Christian whispered. Me and Christian started to stack up all the metal we could into our bags, I pulled my cloak over my eyes and jumped back on the blacksmith roof just, in enough time for us to get home safely without being caught. An hour later Hippie finally returned!
"That crowd wanted more and more, they even gave me enough money to buy that medicine for Willow!", Hippie explained.
Galaxy basically shot to her feet.
"Any money we get goes to Willow, we need her to get better!", I announced, a little annoyed at Hippie's stupidity.
Galaxy stood face-to-face with me, "When Willow gets better, I won't be a medic unless we need it.", she growled at me.
"Fine, do what you please.", now ticked off, I had no patience for Galaxy's rude defense for herself and her position on this team. I got on my cloak and went over to the store to grab the medicine, I grabbed what I needed, paid for it and got out of there, all without being recognized. There is a reason I'm leader on this team. On my walk back, I ran into the blacksmith, literally ran into him.
"Where are going in such a rush?", he had quite a soft voice for someone who looked so mean. I had just noticed my hood had flew off my head and he gasped right as he recognized me.
"The thief! Guards!", he growled.
In the shock of the moment, I ran toward the opposite way of home. I ran into an alley and started climbing a ladder on the wall, I jumped on the first roof and stopped instantly as a bullet flew past my face, the guards were on the ground shooting at me! I kept jumping roof by roof until I knew I had lost them. No one ever recognized my white cloak though, since they were regular wear. So I could still use it, I just had to be careful. When I got home, I gave Galaxy the medicine, explained the scar on my cheek which I got from one of the bullets, and went to bed. Life on the streets were harsh and I knew we must survive.
