No One's POV

He was a thief. While he was just a common villager during the day, at night he was a thief by the name of Sirocco. Of course, he didn't steal because of greed: He only stole what he needed for him and his brothers to survive. He tried to live as honest of a life as he could, other than his thief side. He only was a thief so he could help support his brothers, who even though the three were the same age, Brady being the oldest, his two brothers looked up to him for their needs to be taken care of. It had been this way since their parents had died when the boys were ten years old. The fire that had killed their parents had destroyed most of the village, which had been rebuilt over time.

Now the three boys were each seventeen, Brady as the oldest, Boz as the middle child, and Boomer as the youngest. Being the oldest, Brady had to grow up fast when his parents died. He had to be the one to support his family, even if it meant turning to long, hardworking days, and thievery in the night. While Brady worked hard during the day and stole at night, his brothers worked just as hard during the day, both of them determined to help take some of the work load off of Brady's back.

Together the three brothers lived in a house on the edge of the village where they wouldn't be bothered by any curious villagers, or more importantly, palace guards. While the palace guards may not seem like too big of a threat to a villager, it was if you were the most wanted thief on the entire island. Brady hadn't meant to become number one on the most wanted list: He had accidently stolen the late Queen Maya's necklace one time when he was trying to find food in the huge castle. He didn't mean to steal the necklace; it had fallen into his bag when he wasn't looking.

While this wouldn't seem like such a big deal, it only was because the necklace was the late Queen's. Brady had secretly returned the necklace the next day, feeling extremely guilty after taking it. After all, you couldn't sell the same diamond necklace that had been stolen from the King. That would be like walking around in a thief costume with the necklace around your neck all day while screaming that you stole the necklace, announcing it to the world.

Brady hadn't meant to steal the necklace. He only took food, and the occasional clothes: Basically the bare necessities that he and his brothers required to live. However, the King treasured the necklace of his late Queen, and was furious when he discovered it missing. When he discovered it was Sirocco who had taken it, he immediately ordered his guards to begin searching for the thief even though the necklace had been returned.

The furiousness of that search was nothing compared to now. Now, the guards were on a man hunt, and they weren't going to stop until they found the thief who had eluded them for so long, the same thief who continued to steal from the palace and the occasional food vendor in the village. The King was still furious at Sirocco for stealing the necklace, and he wasn't going to give up until the thief was in the dungeon awaiting trial.

This was the main reason the three Parker boys lived on the edge of the village, the area where the guards rarely came. Brady didn't want the guards to come into his house one day while he and his brothers were working and find his Sirocco costume. He knew he would be sentenced to life imprisonment in the dungeon if that were to happen, and his brothers knew too. The three never spoke about Brady's life as a thief, fearing that someone would be listening should they ever talk about it. They lived their life working to survive, and never complaining.

Then you have Princess Mikayla. She was the Princess of Kinkow, next in line for the throne after her father King Mason. She lived a very nice life: She was the princess of the island after all. She always had her food prepared for her, and the finest clothes money could buy. She was never hungry, and she didn't know the meaning of hard work. However, she wasn't entirely lazy either: She wished to be out in the plaza in shorts and a t-shirt training with the guards, not stuck in the castle learning how to be a proper princess. She would have her wish too, if it wasn't because of her father. While he encouraged her to be able to defend herself, her lesson teacher had convinced him not to let her train with the guards.

Princess Mikayla hated that she couldn't learn to fight like the guards did. So what if she was a princess? That doesn't mean she can't learn how to fight! She wanted to be like the villagers: Working to earn her living, not having everything given to her. Not to mention she wished to find a regular, normal boy to steal her heart away: Not those princes who always came around trying to win her hand and her money. Kinkow was the richest island of the group of islands after all, and whoever married her would become the next King of Kinkow whilst she became the Queen.

Unfortunately for Mikayla though, she wasn't allowed outside of the castle except for the monthly royal parades she and her father rode on horses in. Because of this limited freedom, Mikayla sometimes snuck out at night in order to see the village, returning before the sun rose in order not to get caught. She had a few close encounters in the past, one time almost getting caught had she not been able to come up with a lie on why she was late to breakfast which was at seven a.m. sharp.

It was on one of these late night excursions that she ran into the thief.
