A Cruel Fate by: Sineari
Walking down the streets of Balmora you could tell that the guards there weren't very attentive on crimes, unless you stole from a noble or killed someone. Kairet new this fact very well, she remembered it every time she stole from one of those baskets or jars that lined the streets. Of course sometimes the odd merchant or trader might see her, but she could escape them easily, thanks to her special ability. She knew that it was an ability that only one out of a million people could get, her ability was that for a short period of time she could become invisible. It was a special skill and although she could only use it once a day she enjoyed disappearing into thin air only to reappear in a completely different location. It certainly made up for her lack of skill in speechcraft, and Mercantile (allowing her to escape angry citizens).
She was currently making her way from a particularly stupid mage who had dropped all of his possessions and still did not know what had happened to his Daedric Wakizashi. Grinning mentally Kairet wondered if she should sell it or keep it for herself, it was a very well made weapon and was brand new as far as she was concerned.
Jumping down the stairs she made her way towards temple where she was currently allowed to stay. "I wonder if they'll ever find out about my little 'escapades,'" she thought, "If they do I'll be in big trouble." Unknowingly Kairet had been speaking out loud the entire time, others found this little flaw quite amusing and she had yet to discover it herself.
Unknown to her she was being followed by a shadow that was listening intently to her ramblings. "At least if I get into any sort of distress all I have to do is use my talent and disappear, I'm I can find somewhere else to go easy enough." She did not notice someone approaching her until she felt a cool, metal edge come to rest on her neck. Freezing immediately Kairet didn't dare move a muscle. "So you're the little brat that has had the entire city of Balmora in turmoil." Kairet was slightly surprised when the stranger, now confirmed to be male, told her that she had Balmora in turmoil. How could it be that a few thefts and disappearing acts could so greatly affect what happened to an entire city. Laughing the mysterious figure removed the sword so she could turn around and face him. 'This is my chance to escape!' she thought excitedly. "Don't think you can escape little thief, I'm quicker than I look, although you probably can't see me right now." 'Darn it,' she thought 'Wait, did he call me a Thief? How dare he! I am no thief, I just have a penchant for getting in and out of trouble that's all.' Glaring at him from under her white bangs Kairet hoped that something would distract him so she could disappear and make her escape. When the stranger spoke again she was forced to abandon her train of thought and pay attention. "Lucky for you I won't turn you in," Some small relief there! "But some friends of mine could make use of your peculiar talent, and so you must come with me." Much to her shock and dismay the man lunged forward and faster than her Dunmer eyes could follow he hit her over the head with the pommel of his sword effectively rendering her unconscious.
