The sun leaking through the open window, and fell on a sleeping figure. The girl turned toward the sunlight as the ray kissed her pale skin. She snuggled deeper into her white cotton sheets and curled into a ball. Only to have a awful sound surround the silent room. She threw her pillow over her head and let out a sigh. Why? Didn't she deserve some extra hours of sleep? As the alarm keep ringing and only seem to be getting louder. She threw her pillow away from face and narrow her eyes at the alarm before shutting the stupid loud noisemaker off. She threw her long legs over the side of the bed and pick up her robe and placed it around her. She turn to look at her bed longingly, but she knew she couldn't go back to sleep. As she open the door of her room, she was assault with the smell of coffee. She walked blindly to the kitchen and smiled. As she pick up a mug and filled it to the brim and inhale the smell. As she was to take a sip, when a low chuckle was heard. She didn't bother even turning and said grumpily

"Yes?"

"So how did the go last night?" The light airy voice asked.

She rolled her eyes and took a long sip before turning and meeting her sister black eyes. They twinkled with mischief and amusement as they stared into her own chocolate ones. She lean against the counter and replied

"As if you don't know"

"Oh! But I think I would enjoy it more if I hear it from you"

She sighed and really wonder why in the world she decided moving in with her big sister was ever a good idea.

"That it was a good thing you came along, because without you I would have gotten caught. I should know by now that you know best and I should never doubt you."

A light tinkle of laughter left her sister who seem to find her sarcasm funny. She rolled her eyes and began to walk away but her sister stop her and said.

"Don't forget, we visiting mom and daddy today…so get dress. Outfit on your bed!"

"I know, and thanks because it obvious I can't dress myself"

Her sister light chuckle was all she heard as she walked away back to her room. She finished her cup of coffee on the way before going to the bathroom. She shower quickly and went to her bed to find a pair of skinny dark wash jeans and a deep purple sweater. She dressed quickly before looking at the shoes which were a choice between on a pair black pep toe pumps or black boots. She went for the later choose, she did not need to falling all over herself. She brushed her hair and letting it fly in its natural curls. As she finished she went to her night table and look inside the drawer. There was a black velvet pouch, she giggled before placing it in her pocket and walking out. As she walked down stair and saw that her sister was still not there. She rolled her eyes, the girl could take forever. Just then the doorbell rang so she went to open the door to reveal a tall bulky man with curly dark brown hair and bright hazels.

She smiled as he lean down and embraced her warmly as he said

"How my little sister today? You had a big night yesterday"

She must have given him a confused look because he turned to pulled out a newspaper article in his pocket. There in big bold letter was the title "The Blue Rose Thief Strikes Again!" She let out a giggle just her sister pop up beside her dressed in dark grey sweater dress and heeled black ankle boots and said

"What did I miss?"

The man chuckled and said

"Look at the headline Alice"

She turned and gave it to her and Alice broke into laughter and said

"Look Emmett we're in the presence of a famous person"

Alice and Emmett broke into laughter as the she scowl at them. As they all walked outside and got into the big dark grey truck before driving off. Their parents Charlie and Renee Swan lived outside the city. They had grown tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and decided to move to the country side. As she stared out the window as her sibling chatter happily in the front. She watched amazed as the tall building began to fade into nothing but tree lines. As the drove past some houses only to make a sharp turn to a white mansion that was quaintly hidden by big thick trees. As they park they all jump out and went to the door. It sprang open to reveal their mother. Renee Swan had long black hair and sparkling hazels. She embraced each one of them before saying

"Hi babies, oh! How I miss you all. Emmett and Bella your father wants to see you. Alice come to the kitchen to get the coffee and pastry ready"

As they followed their mother instruction and split into two different directions. She and Emmett turn to the office door of their father, Charlie Swan. Their father put down the newspaper and said

"There they are, my protégées"

They smiled and hugged him before he turned his chocolate eyes to them and said

"I was just reading about you Bella"

The heat of her blush filter into her cheeks as she pull out the black velvet pouch and gave it to him. He pulled out the sapphire gem and looked at her and said

"Well done dear"

"I learn from the best, Black Rose"

He lean back and chuckled and said

"Em, what about you? Any gigs line up?"

"Yeah, in Atlantic City next week…there a big shipment of priceless antiques coming in"

"Need back up son?"

"Naw, I'll handle it"

He nodded as he looked at his children and said

"I'm proud of you two, I never thought I would see my children become so great"

With that he stood up and they follow him to the sitting room where Alice was on her phone setting up a meeting. Their mother placing the tray of coffee on the coffee table. As they all sat down and began chatting among themselves, her mind began wondering.

Her childhood was not like most childhoods. She remember being the new girl in school a lot but she never question it. She saw her parent act normal during the day but at night her father changed. He would dress in dark clothes and leave only to return in the early morning hours. He was excited and talking to her mother happily. Other night he would disappear down to the basement of whatever house they lived in, and one day she stuck down there to watch. There happen to be tons off string and other equipment. Her father moving easily through the string and obstacles she was sure he would stumble on. When her brother turned 16, he began to train as well. Then when Alice turned 16 she was to start training but she refused. She had a talent for business and knew how to get her way. She went off to college and got a business and art degree. She knew how much a item cost and how to make the best deal possible, so their father could leave behind the back door deals. When it was her turn she decided to join her father. She wanted to become part of the secret. She loved her trainings and never regret her "career choice." She loved this unknown life. The life where anything could become hers just because she wanted it. This life was not conventional but who cared, she wasn't a conventional person to begin with.

As she stared at her brother and father talking about strategy and listen to her sister and mother talk about a shopping trip. She lean back and mentally giggle on the outside her along with her family look ordinary. They were anything but, because they were a family of thieves.
