Sorry if there are any grammer/spelling mistakes. I've read over many times but I still miss things.
I looked back over my shoulder when I heard footsteps start to approach, just to see a small figure wearing a cloak move their horse out in front of the guards. My eyes stayed fixed on them as their white horse sat down, crushing the soldier under it. A small chuckle passed my lips 'serves them right!'
"Apúrate, Yang!"
My head turned to the sky above me, where I saw Ruby hanging over the ledge of the roof. Her face was slightly red from the exertion of climbing, and I could see some dirt smeared across her check. Her next yell snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yang! Prisa o yo te dejo!"
"Ache! Calmate, estoy vienendo!"
I worked my hands up the rest of the metal pipe, my feet pushing against the brick wall, and eventually pulled my self over the edge of the gutter, my hands scraping against the rough, sandpaper-esque shingles. I made sure I still had my bag and stuffed the hat into it before going to look over Ruby for any injuries.
"Are you ok?" I grabbed her arm, "If so, we have to get going. We can't afford for those lousy scumbags to gain on us." I started to pull her across the roof before we came to the end. I let her go and jumped, landing a few feet down on the next building. I continued to run as I heard Ruby follow my lead. I scanned the area before turning to the right. There was another alleyway, filled with dumpsters and cloths lines that we could hide in for a while.
I looked over my shoulder just in time to see Ruby trip over a wind vane. My heart stopped as she stumbled down the side, my body tense and ready to charge forward any moment, but she managed to catch the ledge and regain her footing, quickly dragging her self back to the top. She stood still, catching her breath I'd suppose.
"Sorry!" she looked up at me, her cheeks flushed and a sheepish smile on her lips. "I'm fine!" She ran forwards once again, slowing down next to me, but never fully stopping. I saw her eye spark as she saw the alleyway I was leading us to. Before I could stop her she jumped off the side, a giant smile on her face and spread out like a star. She laughed and curled in on herself, preforming multiple flips and turns before landing almost silently on the ground. She was halfway down the alley before my mind snapped back into gear. I scrambled a bit until I did the same thing she did, the enthusiasm and all, before my big sister instincts kicked in and a slight wave of panic washed over me when I didn't see Ruby.
"Espera! Tú no puede hacer eso! Ven aquí ahora mismo!"
I ran in the direction I saw her go, ducking under the drying blankets, and moving over fallen trash. I saw a flash of red bend around the corner, before the echo of a giggle reached my ears. A giggle, a fucking giggle. I felt the temperature around me rise as my anger rose along with it.
"Rúby! Ven aquí ahora antes que te patea! Yo soy seria!"
I started walking to the spot that kept emitting giggles; trash bag can speak apparently. I came to a stop in front of it, my arms crossed and foot tapping against the ground. Silence fell upon the alley for the next few minutes, me waiting and Ruby failing horribly to hind her frame, despite how small it was. She finally crawled out when I kicked a pebble next to her leg.
"Ok, ok! Sorry!" She came out, covered in more dirt and a new rip adorned the bottom of her skirt. I sighed. Now we have to got to the river and I have to find a needle and some thread. I uncrossed my arms and ran a hand through my hair, making sure the guard hadn't done any damage to it.
I checked the end of the alley, both ends, while Ruby tried to fix her hair and cloths- which had gotten rumpled from her little escapade. I heard the patter of paws behind me, when suddenly something warm and fuzzy rubbed up against my leg. I almost screamed before looking down and realizing it was just Zwei. I kneeled down and scratched behind his ears, earning me a small whine of content.
"Ok, I'm ready!"
I turned my head to look at Ruby. She was brushing off the dust her skirt collected, and was moving her feet back and forth, as if we were still dancing, but for all I know, she was. I couldn't really blame her though, we dance almost 24/7. First it was to make some extra money on the streets, then we found ourselves doing it during everyday chores. While bathing, cooking, in the middle of the night when we couldn't sleep, we just always dance. It wasn't a burden, and it didn't make life difficult, so I didn't mind it. Plus, it helped keep us in shape, which was really important; we have to run away from guards and soldiers all the time.
I removed my hand from Zwie's head, and stood, stretching my arms above my head. A yawn escaped my mouth, and I started walking down the dark path.
"Well, come on." I looked over my shoulder to find Ruby moving back and forth, her eyes closed and humming a song. I heaved an exasperated sigh. 'I like dancing, but this is ridicules.' "Ruby! Te dejo si no prisa."
"Ya voy, ya voy."
I closed my eyes, feeling the small ray of sun that found its way into the alley on my face, waiting for Ruby to catch up. Her feet padded softly, still in rhythm, and I could hear the metal shingles along her skirt clang together quietly, adding more music to the song she was humming. Looking at her I could see a smile on her face and her eyes were closed peacefully. She walked towards me, a giggle escaping her lips.
"What are you giggling for?" She opened her eyes landing them on me, before smiling even wider and answering.
"When we were on the run, I saw a cat with her new born kittens! I helped them move out of the way of some horses, then they all cuddled up to me and licked my face! They were so cute! Then I noticed you climbing up the wall and was happy that you made it. We also made a ton of money today! We danced two hours! That's more then usual. So, despite the run in, it's just been a good day!"
I shook my head and smiled fondly. I started walking forwards.
'Never lose your innocence, Rubes. Please don't.'
I don't know why but this chapter was super hard to write, that's why it isn't longer. I hope you like it! And please review, it would be greatly appreciated.
"Apúrate, Yang!" - "Hurry up, Yang!"
"Yang! Prisa o yo te dejo!" - "Yang!, Hurry or I'll leave you!"
"Ache! Calmate, estoy vienendo!" - "Ache! Calm down, I'm coming!"
"Espera! Tú no puede hacer eso! Ven aquí ahora mismo!" - "Wait! You can't do that! Come here right now!"
"Rúby! Ven aquí ahora antes que te patea! Yo soy seria!" - "Ruby! Come here right now before I kick you! I'm serious!"
"Ruby! Te dejo si no prisa." - "Ruby! I'll leave you if you don't hurry."
"Ya voy, ya voy." - "I'm coming, I'm coming."
I just realized how many times i said basically the same thing in different ways. And the "Ache" thing, I can't really translate because it's an exclamation. Kind of like Jeez. (Actually, this is something only I really say, and it's the way you pronounce the letter 'H' in the Spanish alphabet. The actual saying, in Puerto Rico at least, is "Acho".)
