Chapter 1:The Escape
I couldn't believe it. I tried to pickpocket a guy and now he was chasing me. I looked back, yup, still chasing me, except he was walking slowly, a little unsettling. Oh well, he would have a hard time catching up to a train.
I quickly ran to my "getaway car." God, was he still chasing me? Was I sure he wouldn't be able to catch up to a train? Nope. Welp, I'd have to find out. I kept running toward the train car, the wind nearly pulling my grey hood down. I grabbed onto a pole near the top of a window on the train, slipped myself through, and landed with a hard crunch. "Ow."
I wouldn't have had a problem with escaping. A jumping Semblence had to take care of escaping for old trampoline skills. "Dang it did you have to choose to pickpocket him?" I said quietly. I suddenly felt my bones begin to quiver, so I sat down in the middle of a storage car. I covered myself in my cloak, only taking my hood off to brush my hair out of my face, my white fox ears twitched, and I finally fell asleep, all I could think about was what my team would do when I got back.
I awoke to the sound of slow,heavy footsteps. I'm a Faunus if you haven't already figured it out. I looked up and I was met with a vivid green eye, lined with black, his orange hair blocking his other, and bowler hat dipping over most of his face, and was leaning into a corner, a cane leaning next to him, his black gloved hands crossed against his red lined coat. I could tell I was showing my fear, because the slow smirk that appeared on his face was very obvious. I stood up, preparing to run, until something snagged on my cloak. A shoe.
"Where 'ya going grey? We haven't introduced ourselves." His black gloved hands now rested on his cane, and he took a step closer. In a flash of his black lined eye, I was running, don't know where, but I found a door, rushed inside, slamming it behind me, and looked around the room, I quickly realized it was a bathroom, and there was a small window above the sink. I slipped out of it, onto the roof of the train. I heard a slow knock on the door, at least he had manners.
I turned back to reality, I was about to be killed by a bridge. I grabbed the rail of it, and I quickly flipped myself over, landing on top of the bridge. I stood face to face with Rosedo, her hand resting on the hilt of crystallized petal. WHAT THE HECK DID YOU JUST...Sitruuna?"
Her horrified face turned into a happy grin, her and her mood swings. I was somewhat calm, until Tara and Azulejo walked up from behind by Azulejo's unhappy expression, and Tara looking like she was going to strangle me, I knew I was in for it. Even though I was Leader of Team STAR.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Screeched Tara.
"Heh...heh...uh..." I was nervous. I couldn't tell them I was being chased by a bowler hat guy and had to stowaway on a train! They would think I was crazy!
"EXPLORING VALE!" I suddenly blurted going me! Now I had to tell them why.
