PLEASE READ!!! YOU'RE MAMA WILL DIE!!
Ok, now that I got your attention, here's the thing.
I haven't played Tales of the Abyss in a very long time. So forgive me if I got the locations wrong or messed up a bit. I don't have my own copy of ToA anymore.
So I sort of based this off the anime.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! ENCOURAGE ME AND CORRECT MY MISTAKES IF I GET ANYTHING WRONG! I'm kinda glad Sync's a bit of a behind the scenes character. -whew-

There's a link in my profile to the picture of the OC.
Enjoy!
The small figure of a shadow was projected in the moonlight. The crickets chirped and the night continued on normally. The figure ran through trees and shadows before coming to a halt at the back entrance of a certain building.
Out of the shadows stepped a girl barely into her teens. Chocolate brown hair was pulled into two braids, her midnight blue eyes sparkled with mischief. Tonight was surely going to be a good catch.
She wore a blue sleeveless shirt that showed her stomach; over it was a loosely wrapped orange scarf. On her arms were buckled blue sleeves that stopped at her knuckles. She had on an ivory skirt that laced up on the side, with a belt wrapped around her waist, the belt held too many knives to count. Finally, her choice of footwear was brown, knee-high boots.
A small kitty like grin was plastered on her face as she walked softly to her destination, the head quarters of the Oracle Knights.
Okie dokie Selena, better not get caught! She thought eagerly.
Peony had told her she was supposed to scout the head quarters for any possible evidence that the Grand Maestro actually was planning to start a war. But just because she was on a scouting mission doesn't mean she can't go and, oh say, pick up and admire the jewels in the treasury.
And when she says 'pick up and admire' she means steal.
Enough with gems! Let's get to work! Selena sighed reaching for a knife. The guards at the entrance still hadn't noticed her yet.
The knives went through the guard's heads, instantly silencing their screams. Swiftly but softly, Selena ran past any other patrols and through the back door.
Scouting the place for hours, she found nothing.
She searched high and low. Spare bedrooms and empty offices. Only to come up empty handed. She wouldn't dare look in a place that had occupants.
Top, bottom, left and right, nothing gave proof of the soon-to-be war.
WHAT?! She mentally screeched. Where's the proof?! Where's anything?! Then it hit her. Mohs wanted to keep it secret even from the organization he worked for. Why didn't she think of that sooner? Better yet, why didn't Peony think of that sooner!?
Oh well. She scowled There's still the treasury!!! A smile instantly lit up her face at the thought of the sparkly jewels.
Retracing her steps, she found herself at the vault she passed on her scouting route. She was lucky no patrols had found her. Oh the luck she was having.
Woe is Selena; misfortune will soon happen to her as well. She wouldn't be human otherwise.
Her signature kitty grin came back when she found a computerized password system. Selena loved fon tech machines; she was a genius when it came to hacking them. Sighing, she began typing away any password that might fit.
She smiled when the machine beeps softly and the lock clicked open.
Grinning ear to ear, she grabbed the handle of the vault before a hand landed firmly on her shoulder.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, girl?" A deep voice hissed.
She spun around to meet a pair of pissed off sea green eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out.
"I asked you a question! Now answer you little wench." The man hissed, pushing her back.
Now that she got a full view it seemed to be that, yes, it was a man. A red haired man decked out in black and red with a sword pointing at her, Asch the Bloody.
Her mouth quirked downward at the sudden appearance before she ran, being the trained thief she was, she was quite fast.
"GET BACK HERE!!!" She heard Asch scream.
Speeding down the hall way until she got to a place which she thought was the entrance.
Oh how wrong she was.
Selena kneeled onto the ground and gulped in a breath of air. She hadn't realized she had been holding it in.
Metal clinking against metal was all that was heard around her. She looked up from the ground, still in a crouching position.
At least 20 oracle knights surrounded her, weapons at ready, preparing to strike on her slightest move.
The scout finally got to look at her surroundings, but she instantly regretted it. She was in the main hall. 20 knights surrounded her, but there were still many on the stairs, in the corners and other sides of the rooms. She let out small groan before reaching for a smoke bomb. These things were so handy. Throwing it to the ground, she sped up the stairs, hoping for an opening where she can get to the woods she had previously been hiding in and run back to Malkuth to report her finds.
Down below there were cries of "Where'd she go?!" "The entrance!" and "Try upstairs!"
Rounding into another hallway she stopped, there were clinks of armour, knights were nearby. And the surely must have been looking for her.
She listened intently to the two guards having a conversation from around the corner.
"Hey, I heard some kid came through the back door and tried to steal from the treasury." One guard claimed.
"Oh really? We should go and check. Where's the back door?" The other one questioned.
"In the back..." The first guard mumbled before heading in the direction of the corner Selena was around.
Oh Yulia, I am so dead! She panicked before running off. She came to a fork in the hallway. Should I go left or right?! Uh...um... let's see, eenie, meenie, miney, moe. GO LEFT!! And so she did. But she cursed the childish method, for she ended up at two fairly large doors.
She growled. This is probably the commandant's office.
She thought about turning around. But while she was off in her own little world staring at the door, she suddenly came face to face with a tall blond women and a boy of spiky green hair. The Quick and the Tempest. They parted while the huge doors swung open only to reveal the commandant himself. Van Grants walked up and stared down at Selena. God damn, he's tall...
His eyes widened about a fraction of a millimetre before speaking.
"What have we got here? The thief the guards have been reporting about? And unable to have caught." He mumbled the last part under his breath. "I heard you almost got into the treasury, before Asch caught you that is..." She grimaced, thinking about that damned red-head that fooled her plans of getting some shiny gems for herself, and maybe Peony... and Jade...
"Legretta, Sync, bring her into my office." He commanded spinning around and stepping back into his room.
"Wait, what? Why?!" Selena cried. Unaware of the fact that Legretta and Sync were advancing on her. She only focused on the commandant.
Van turned around and smirked.
"I have a proposition for you." He said before stepping behind the grand doors of the office.
How did you like it? Please R&R! Tell me anything wrong! Kay? I'm already typing the 2nd chapter!
