Ahh yes, the usual yet again. But this time I want to be more formal haha…randomness is flowing within these hands of mine.
So without further ado, here is my awesomely awesome disclaimer:
I, skyeisthelimit (a.k.a. Kat, her almighty-whitey ness), do NOT claim to own The Thief Lord or anything associated with the book, as much as I want it to be, why? Because I say so that's why.
Ok, so maybe that's not all that formal but hey, at least I started with an I!
Now on with the story!
I
I
I think I'm starting to have a catch phrase O.O
Nice.
P.s. Sorry for the long delay!
At was about 11:55, five minutes to midnight as two figures crept along the alleyway, they both seemed to be arguing about something.
"I told you, you should've worn the beard." The first figure, a boy who looked about 17 years old with long curly brown hair said.
"Well the beard would've stuck out more!" The second figure replied. It was a man; he looked old enough to be the boys' father.
"Well you never know. And plus! There were about a million people in that carnival! A man with a beard wouldn't have been noticed!"
"Scipio" The man stated. "Remember, you are my apprentice you work for me and you will do as I say. I won't fight with you any longer about this absurd matter. I'm very tired now as I'm sure that you are too. We better head back to the apartment and get some sleep. Tomorrow's a new day, so we shall settle this job then." The man calmly stated back.
"Yes Victor." Scipio whispered back. Sighing in defeat. He knew that he had to follow orders or Victor wouldn't let him be his apprentice anymore. Then what would he do.
The two walked for 15 more minutes until they had reached Victor's apartment. Victor got his keys and opened the door while Scipio put his coat inside the coat closet and started placing Victor's clothes and mustache, which he used earlier in the day, in their places.
A sudden beep caught Scipio's attention as he was placing Victor's hat inside a drawer brimming with other hats and caps such as Victor's baseball cap. And soon a voice filled the room.
"Ah yes i assume that this is Mr. Getz's number? Well this is Mr. Carlos Buenafuerte speaking.And I am here to ask you about a job I want done. I cannot enclose the details now but please call back when you get this message. You can reach me at the Hotel La Angelo, just ask for me and I will have my assistant schedule a meeting for us." A mans voice sounded out from Victor's answering machine after he had pressed a button.
"Sounds like we have another big case Scip my boy."
"A very big one, by the sound of urgency Mr. Buenafuerte's voice."
"A very big case indeed."
Silenced fell over the room as the two men went to their separate rooms to sleep, tired from their exhausting day of work and spying for a client.
"Go to sleep Bo." Prosper touched his brother by his shoulders.
"But I want to watch over my kitties! Lily might give birth soon!!" Bo shouted back, striving to stay awake.
"Bo, I promise to wake you up if Lily gives birth if you promise to go to sleep, it's very late already." Prosper replied sleepily, he was getting sleepy himself.
"Really?" Bo whispered, his eyelids half open.
"I promise."
Prosper carried his brother up to the attic where all the others were sleeping, some even snoring. He laid Bo by next to Hornet who was sleeping peacefully, a book by her side. Prosper got the book and placed it on top of Hornet's other books in case Bo would roll over in his sleep and hit the book by mistake. He then went back to his own bed and as soon as he closed his eyes he was engulfed by sleep.
Rays of light penetrated the hotel windows as the sun began to rise. They soon climbed up, diminishing the darkness and stopped at a young girls face.
"Wake up sleepy head!" A boy shook the girl by her shoulders, strands of the girls wavy black hair fell from her face to her shoulders.She looked about 16 with an Asian look.
The girl moaned and changed her position, taking a pillow and covering her head with it. The boy, stared at the girl an after a moment of silent thinking climbed up the girls' bed and started jumping up and down.
"Hello! Earth to Kayla! I said wake up!!!!"
"Oh for crying out loud Neil, 5 minutes! That's all I ask!! Now leave me alone! I wanna sleep!" The girl replied, you could tell that she was annoyed by the tone that her voice gave out.
"But we have to go! We have to go fin- Oof!" The boy suddenly said when a pillow hit his head. He would've fallen down the bed hadn't he controled his balance.
"Fine! Now you've disturbed my rest, I can't possibly go back to sleep now." The girl's eyes fluttered open.
He boy, jumped of the girls bad and watched the drowsy figure get out of her bed and stumble into the bathroom. Curious as to what would happen that day.
"Oh! And Kayla, i forgot to tell you-"
"AAHHH!!!" A sudden scream came to the bathroom and and filled the whole room.
"Nevermind"
Kayla stepped out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel and stomped furiously towards her brother. Neil was about to run out when Kayla jumped on him, sending them both to the ground.
"What the heck did you do to the water!"
"Nothing! All the hot water just ran out! It's bloody winter for heavens sake!"
"What a fine brother you are Neil, leaving your sister to freeze in THAT cold water!"
"Ok someone woke up at the wrong side of the bed"
"Well, more like someone woke up with a foot up his ass."
"Now who could that be?" Neil replied, placing his fingers at his chin as if her was pondering on something.
"Ugh! Now i don't even wanna shower anymore!"
"Don't worry! i bought one of those heater things at the hotel store, the hot water is in the tub."
"But i don't want a bath! I want a shower get it! A SHOWER you know a S-H-O-W-E-R?"
"Peculiar, i say my dear sister in my life, i've never seen a girl who was more interested in taking a shower than a bath.Oh wait! I remember now! You're not a girl are you? You're one of those evil flying monkeys from outer space, bent on taking over the world! Why, i can't even call you my sister anymore! I can't be related to an evil monkey!"
"If you don't shut up soon, this monkey is gonna beat the hell out of you."
"Aww, a monkey in a towel, gonna beat up a big strong guy like me? I don't think so."
"Whatever. The monkey's gonna take a bath now. You should take one too, your smell is already killing my sense of smell."
Kayla, got up from her position, sitting on top of her brother whose head was face down on the floor. The door to the bathroom closed and a lock closing was heard. Neil got up and went to sit on a chair. Smiling slightly.
I'm smelly? That coming from an evil flying monkey with a towel. Hard to believe that I'm the one who's smells bad.
Hornet woke up with a start, she stared out at the 4 people in the same room. She was happy that they were all together again. Riccio and Mosca came back to stay with Ida when the place they stayed in was turned into a market. She gazed at Bo was was sleeping beside her. Mosca who was on the other side of the bed along with Riccio. And Prosper, who's back was turned to her sleeping in his air bed. She got up slowly, trying hard not to wake up Bo and slowly went to the other side of the room and opened the door quietly and went down.
"Morning Hornet" Ida turned around smiling at Hornet who had just appeared at the bottom of the staircase.
"Morning!" Hornet replied back happily.
"Breakfast is ready!" Lucia shouted from the kitchen.
"Well you know the drill Hornet, go wake up the boys and i'll fix the table."
"Will do Ida."
Hornet climbed up the stairs disappearing around the corner to wake to others up as Ida headed towards the kitchen.
The two siblings were walking down a street, holding a gelati in thier hands. Obviously not very hungry.
"I don't see why they don't have cars here! I mean, it's not like cars are such a bad thing." Neil complained while licking his Vanilla gelati.
"Just shut up will you! We're nearly there already so stop all your blabbering." Kayla replied, annoyed at all the outbursts of her brother about how old fashioned Venice was not having cars and the sort.
"See! you're getting annoyed too because of all the walking. I shall have to complain to the queen now about how having no cars are making my delightful sister grumpy."
"It's not the walking you dolt, it's you and all your stupidity, i mean if you just walked faster then we'd already be there." Kayla replied glumly as she gazed on a map that they had bought from a vendor outside their hotel. While balancing her mocha gelati.
"You know i wouldn't be surprised if they actually still had a queen."
Kayla giggled at the thought and looked up from the map.
"I wouldn't be surprised either if they were still saying OFF! WITH HER HEAD!" Neil stated excitedly. He looked at his sister and pointed at her. "Offff with your head!!!" Neil was laughing, they had to stop because Kayla started laughing to, the two couldn't stop as they never had this much fun ever since their father had given them the awful news about 2 months ago. After about 5 more minutes of laughing the two finished their gelati's and continued on their way.
"We're here!" Kayla suddenly stopped causing her brother to smack straight into her.
"Oof! Watch we're you're going would you!" Neil suddenly stopped and stared at the house. "Nice house"
"Wait here i'm gonna ring the doorbell."
Neil watched silently as Kayla went up to the gates and rand the doorbell.
DING DONG!
"Scip would you answer the door for me?" Victor shouted from his study.
Scipio stood up from his comortable place by the fireplace and walked slowly to open the door.After a few seconds he had reached it and opened the door.
"Good morning!" A stranger suddenly said.
Wahaha! Part 2! I know it's short but it answers some questions.
Like who the heck the girl and the boy are. But this also brings out new questions, who is this Mr. Buenafuerte and why did I include his call in the story?And where where are the two going?
So many questions so much time.

Now I'm off to sleep, it's already 1:23 in the morning.
