Hey guys! This is a story my friend wrote. Just warning you, don't expect anything but Percy Jackson fanfics from me otherwise. If you're interested, check out my profile!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything! (I barely know anything! :P)

Cold rain soaks through my clothes as I sit hunched on the roof of the building. As the police cars race through the city, the sirens grow louder and louder. When the clock hits 10 p.m., gun shots ring from down below. Perfect. The yells of civilians reach my ears, but I pay them no mind, my focus is all on this job.

Slowly, I open the rooftop window and slide myself in. The cops are too busy dealing with the amateur crooks to even think someone else is in the building. I spot my objective, a dazzling crown, then swiftly lower myself down. I reach out to grab it when the museum doors fly open and I spot the most stunning belle I have ever laid eyes on.

Beautiful brown hair cascades down her back and two white strips surround her angel like face, the green, yellow, and black uniform fits like a glove, outlining all her curves, and bright and alluring hazel eyes glare at me from across the room.

"Back away from the treasure, thief. You shouldn't go taking what ain't yours." Once her strongly accented voice reaches my ears, I blank. She sounds like a goddess.

"Well, what have we got here, cher? I think I detect a southern drawl in that heavenly voice. Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you look when you're angry?" I smirk, hoping I can make her even angrier.

"Darlin', I ain't no girl that you can sweet talk into giving you whatever ya want. Now, come out with me so I can hand you over to the authorities, then no one will get hurt. Wouldn't want to ruin that pretty face of yours."

Now that is one fiery belle. She looks like she wants to beat me to a pulp. Scary.

I can hear the fight finishing outside. The cops could crash through that door at any moment and I know that if I don't leave now, I would do anything the girl asked of me.

"No can do, cher. I have a job and I prefer to be paid in full." Grabbing the crown, I stuff it into my bag and then pull out a deck of cards. "Sorry belle."

I charge the cards with my kinetic energy and throw them at her. I know it's not the best way to treat a woman, but in my defense, I only put in enough energy so that she would be blown back to the door... or knocked unconscious.

I quickly press the button to pull me up on the wire. Nearing the top, I glance down to see a group of weirdly dressed people running over to the belle. As I look at her one last time, our eyes catch. I was lost in her eyes until the wire stopped. I climb out the window, run over to the edge of the building and jump to the next roof.

In the cold distance of the night, I hear a faint cry. "I'll catch you one day thief!"

I chuckle to myself. She already has.

Hope you guys enjoyed that, please review and check out my other (Percy Jackson) stories! Peace! XD
