Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing
A Shadow slipped through a window high above the streets. Even though the moon was set into the dark sky the streets below still pulsed with life. The pale light projected the narrow shape across the empty room as the silhouette expertly manoeuvred her way around the vast space. Her silent steps were only accompanied with the soft drone of the traffic which weaved through the walls of the empty room. She paused and soaked in her surroundings. Through the dim light she could only make out the slight glisten of the pristine countertops which rested on the cold beach flooring. She drifted once more through the apartment her fingers dancing on the slick marble as she passed by and then onto the soft leather of the sofa, polished wood, sleek glass and tangled fur until her slender hand enclosed on the smooth brass doorknob. A crooked smile played in the corner of her lips.
She patiently turned her hand until the faint click of the mechanism cut through the silence of the night and let the door swing ajar of its own volition. Despite the engulfing darkness her feline eyes locked onto the sleeping figure's rising and falling chest. She crept round the bed until she could see where the mat of messy brown hair parted to reveal a supple face peeking through. Advancing further, the nimble trespasser suddenly found herself close enough to be tickled by the even breathes seeping from the figure soon to be a pawn in her game. A small flutter graced her heart as she reached out and with great care, moved a lock of hair to reveal the figures feature. Thea Queen.
Being the daughter of the famous Queen family meant that the majority of Thea's life was public knowledge. It was child's play finding her address, an easy access point, and even an accurate layout of the apartment to make reaching this point ever simpler. The reason behind this exercise was incredibly more complicated.
The sharp glimmer of a knife cut through the darkness of the room as the cruel steel crept closer to the face of the sleeping celebrity. The silhouette moved at a snail's pace with a stiff and definitive poise. The knife came so close that the cool metal almost rested upon Thea's cheek above her ear. She played with the knife in her hand, even daring to gently brush it's surface against Thea's skin, she savoured these few quiet moments and relayed in her head the pre-planned sequence of events. It would only take one swoop and she would be done. A faint almost inaudible deep breath was sucked in as the figure in the shadows prepared to be made known.
With a swift movement the knife swung cutting what seemed like thin air but resulted in a large clump of hair being left in the thief's enclosed hand. Thea let slip a cry as her sleep was abruptly ended and her wide eyes rested on the shadow in her room. In pure instinct of her training Thea kicked out her legs, still enveloped in her quilt, and knocked back the intruder into the lamp that stood across the room. The sound shattered the once peaceful apartment into a rush of chaos.
A gruff voice called out to his sister from the next room and his footsteps could be heard fast approaching. Thea, having untangled her way out of her bed now dove to the floor grasping the knife that fell in the confusion but as she looked up there was no figure to be seen.
A man, tall and made of muscle, tore into the room, "Thea!" He cried. Panic etched into every line of his face. He smacked the light switch and found his little sister crouched on the floor armed with a knife and poised to spring into attack. She gave a solid nod indicating her lack of injury and then his eyes quickly scanned the room for a threat.
Thea sprang to her feet slipping past her brother and he quickly sprinted back into the open apartment behind her. "Lights" he called and the numerous spotlights beamed into existence at his command. Thea threw down the knife in disgust at the sight, her breath still raged from the adrenaline. The room was empty and all that remained was an open window.
AN: So I did I story before called Blendetta but to be honest I wasn't that keen on it so this is kind of a rewrite... but with a different plot... Basically I love the name Blendetta so I wanted to use it again (which will obviously come in later).
So this is more of an opener so there is not much of it. It's just a set up to test the water so review, constructive criticism welcome of course, and if you like it follow the story! I've got the next couple of chapters nearly ready so I'll post soon. :)
