the New Kingdom Greatest Thief
Chapter 2: First Met
My name is Flynn Rider. The kingdom most handsome and charming wanted thief, the kingdom greatest thief. And this is my story, how I met and encounter with a girl. A different girl I ever met. A thief, who called herself; 'The Mysterious Thief'.
"Thief! Come back here, you thief!" shout a fat man wearing long white hat like a chef. Who think himself as a chef. Named, Mr. Antonio, the owner of 'Big Market'. He practically owns every market in the kingdom. He sells fish, vegetables, meet, sweet treats, you named it. His sell a good market, many people like to buy it because the good product. But not a very generous man, he is such a cheater and a very stingy man. And also, shouting like a girl, and a temper. "Guard! Thief!"
And I, Flynn Rider, the kingdom greatest thief just got unlucky day for me. It was morning at Corona, and when the time for breakfast, might be not the time for me.
"There's Rider! Get him!"
Oh man! Irritated and annoyed, I decided to throw the bread I just stole to Mr. Antonio for distraction. And just as I thought, Mr. Antonia saw the bread and try to catch it with his bare hand. He caught it but his feet stumble by something behind him. Making himself, losing his balance and drop right in front of the guards who were about to chase me. Some might had stumble over Mr. Antonio big ass.
I chuckled "So long sucker!" I shout and disappear in a dark alley where no guard or soldier will find me.
After like an hour of running, I found myself out from the kingdom and enter the forest. It was the season of autumn. The tree's colors are brown and yellow. Winds' blowing pretty hard with the brown leaves leaving. It's quite beautiful. But not for my stomach.
"UUH… Damn!" I growl as I rub my stomach. Usually I would go to the bar to get some drink. But I don't have a mood for that. Hey, Flynn Rider get some free time from bar. And time to eat. "Now, where should I go first?"
"WAAA!"
"GET HER!" I hear a shout from distant of the forest, calling my attention. I look over my shoulder and see bunch of kid running with something on their hand. At one first sight, I knew those kids before. They are the kids from Corona who likes to pick on other kids. Most of the kids they pick on are homeless kid. Especially the one who doesn't have parents. I shook my head to get ride those bad memory and start to walk away.
"Stop it!" I heard when a shout, a girl? I stop to turn back where those kids are missing. They must have been picking on, a girl! What a loser they are. I had no idea what their parents teach them. I throw my breath and turned back to ignored it. Putting my hand at my pocket. It's, none of my business. But as I take one step away, that girl is screaming once more, with a pain. I stop and fist my hand, telling myself to ignore it. Just ignored it! But why can I? Eventually that girl parents will help her.
But, what if she, don't have a parents.
Damn it! I swear at myself, and decided to go where their picking on her. Though, I was just, gonna, see what's going.
I got far to where they might be going. With my thief ability, I sneak from bushes, tree's, and other bushes. So those boys won't noticed. I can hear the boys screaming for the girl, and the girl scream. Something burn my chest as soon I heard the girl voice. I put my hand in my chest and shook my head. I can't let this feeling control me. So I keep walking until I found the boys already confront the girl in front of an old barn. God, I want to hit those boys. How could a kid be this cruel?
"HAHAHA! Got you!" shout the oldest brother as he start lifting his hand with a rock. The rest as well. Lifting it higher in the air. The girl kneel down with her hand on top of her head for protection. I gritted my teeth, felt want to kick the boys butt. But their too many. I can't let this happen. So then I run, I jump of from the bushes to revealed myself. One of the boys realized and scream of surprised. Some just back away giving me a space to ran for the girl. I keep run to the girl. The girl still had her head down. She then realized a shadow was covering her and lift her head to see me in front of her. I kneel down same level as her and ask.
"You okay kid?" the girl nodded, but still there's some fear on her eyes. "It's okay," I offer my hand for her to take it. "I'm going to help you," I said kindly, the girl hesitated for a moment, exchanging her look from my hand to my face. Then she nodded and took it. Suddenly, something hard hit right in my head. I took a breath and turned to see the oldest one looks a little irritated.
"Get away you old man!"
Old man?! I'm twenty two, you know! I shout in my thought, I hold the girl secured in my hand. "Why can't you boys pick on someone your own size?"
"Likeee, you?!" the oldest boy said, with a devilish smile
Oh-uh, this isn't gonna be good.
"Get him!" shout the boy and start raising their hand and throwing their rocks, on me?!
"KYAA!" The girl scream, some of the rock hit her in the face. I couldn't let that happen, I already came here for nothing. I quickly took the girl hand to cover her with me body, as I am the shield. Some rock only hit my back; I closed my eyes, hoping they would run out of rock. I take a pick to look how many rocks they had. As I turned, one big rock flying a crosses to hit right to my face!
DAMN! I wasn't unguarded and did turn back to covered myself. That's it; I haven't eaten anything but got myself new bruises in my face. I closed my eyes to prepare the impact. Then, it stops. The boys stop throwing their rock and the rock didn't hit my face. Not at all and I had been waiting for the rock to hit me. I slowly open my eyes, and look at the girl is in my hand to see if she's okay. In fact, she's alright. But weird is, she was looking nowhere I didn't knew. She was looking up, amazed. While I was confused, and then I look up with her. There was a girl, with her back on me. I didn't see her face or her hair because she was wearing a long white hood, long enough to her knees. And a dagger on her right hand. Looking straight at the boys, and the boys, they look, terrified?
"Oy!" shout the girl. "Why are you boys is in my land?!"
Land? She lives here? But why would anyone live in an old barn like this?
"T-Tom, don't you know her?!" shout one of the boys, he looks really scared. "She's 'The Mysterious Thief'!"
Mysterious Thief'?
"She's the thief who kidnaps kids in the middle of the night!"
What?
"She also had a black cat which made her a witch, and the kids she stole will be her slave and become an experiment for her witch craft!"
Wait, what?!
"Let's get out of here!" and they run away, shouting for help with their hands in the air, running like a chicken. Man, those kids are a loser. I turned my attention to the girl; just standing there and watch them go. Getting further and smaller, and finally disappear. When they finally disappear, she starts walking away from her spot but didn't say anything. My mouth opens slightly, like I want to say something but it didn't come out. She took three steps to her left and knelt down to her other dagger stamp at the ground with crumbling rocks on it. That rock, was the rock that almost hit me in the face! Did she just hit that rock with her dagger?!
Wow, this girl must be very good with sword, I thought. Then I look back at the girl in my hand, still hiding her face in my chest. And start to cry. Oh man, how I'm I gonna do with this?! I thought, then remember the girl with white hood. "Hey, you-" but as I turn to the white girl, she wasn't there anymore. She disappears! "How on earth she just disappears like that?" I ask myself, ridiculously. Without realizing myself the girl is in my hand look up at me. "She must be a ghost!" then the girl burst out a laugh, at me. Damn, I was talking to myself again. Well, at least she's not crying anymore, I chuckled and let her go. She let out her tear and wipes it away, she look at me with a smile.
"Thank you for your help, mister," said the girl and sniffs her nose from crying.
"Yeah," I said flatly. "Do, do you have any parents?" I ask suddenly, why did I even ask that? The girl didn't answer but look the ground, playing with her finger.
"Well, I do have-"
"Ellie!" shout another voice, a boy, came out from other side of the forest from the bushes. Just like the girl, his shirt was filthy but filthier with mud on his face and lots of leafs falling from his head. He was breathless, like he had chase and running around for hundred of kilometer. He looks at the little girl with tears and sigh of relief. He runs to her and so does the little girl.
"Victor!" shout the little girl with an open arm, so does a boy ready to get a hug. As they both held on each other, they were tear around their eyes and never let go. I sat there, quite, starring at them with blank. Not even blinked, not even say anything; I don't even have tear or a broken heart to see them like this. Flynn Rider doesn't need tear or a broken heart just because he just seen two siblings. I sigh and stand up, walking away with my back on them. putting my both hands in my pocket with coolly ignoring their moment.
"Ellie, who's that guy?" the boy ask, looks little aware of me.
"It's okay Victor, he's the one who save me from those bullied,"
Yeah, yeah,
"Thank you, mister!" shout the girl, and then my feet just stop by itself. I was ready to enter the woods again and disappear. But then it stops me, I don't know why but that girl voice stops my heart. Suddenly I feel like at least I had to say something to those kids before I leave. Deep, it said; you don't want to regret it again, right? I had two side of person inside of me, there's the thief Flynn Rider and that poor orphanage little Eugene Fithzerberth. This time, I'm sure that other boy is talking. I let out another sigh, and quickly turned my back at them. Almost in a grumpy way, cause to be honest, this is irritating. The boy named Victor, the brother, he look at me with threatening face, taking his sister behind him. I beat this is a really good kid. I stop like one foot away from him so I wouldn't get them scared; I knelt down as same level as they are. And look in the eye of the boy, and said;
"Hey, take really good care of your sister, okay?" I said and lift my hand to scrub his head; he didn't deny it but change his expression confused. I let out another sigh and back to enter the woods. It was all silent again. No more shouting or saying anything. I keep on walking and never look back, but as I was starting to disappear, the boy shouts from a distant.
"I promise!" shout the boy, and once more it stops my foot again. But I didn't want to look back, I don't want to come back, I let out this feeling away and walk away.
I keep walking, nowhere to go, no places to go, I have no idea what I'm doing or thinking. Now my mind mixed well. There's Flynn rider who want to go back to the market and steel food. And there's that little Eugene keep thinking about those two kids again.
Why is this happening right now? It's been like four years since I never let that boy, Eugene Fithzerberth getting in my way. What is wrong with me?!
"AAARGH!" I shout and suddenly find myself knocking in the head with a tree just to get these stupid thought of mine, what is wrong with me? Suddenly my head mixed up with the boy past and now. Because of those kids?! Or the damn kids?! Or even a girl like a ghost just beat those damn kids just by looking at them?! and not me?!
Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn-
"Damn it!" shout, a girl? Another girl? I stop with my forehead are still planted on the tree. The voice was like a teenage voice, and I knew that sound from anywhere. I look at the back of the tree, from a distant like ten feet away from thick and high bushes where I knew that voice come from. I turned my right and left to see anyone else was there and slowly walk to the bushes. Very slowly. Putting my ear on, the voice getting closer as I closed by, hearing she was complaining something. And many bad words. Sound like me.
Oh, what am I thinking?!
I shook my heads to get those thought away and keep walking, slowly near the bushes. Then I hide with my back on a tree beside the bushes. It was quite weird; the bushes could grow so big and tall like it was made. I shook my head once more and take one of my fingers to make a little hole on the bushes. I take a pick with one eye, and there was that girl again! The girl with a white hood, sitting on a big rock, gritted her teeth with anger while taking off her boots.
"Rocks, rocks, stupid rocks!"
I look away and let out a gasp of surprise. How coincidental this? Then, I take a look once more, the girl had finally taking off her boots and put it aside the rock. She throw a long breath. "And that is what we get from helping others,"
yeah, right, I thought with a smirk, I actually agreed on her.
"MEOW, MEOW,"
'meow?' I lift my finger once more to make the hole bigger enough to see the whole. I see, a cat? A small black cat! Just like those kids said! She had a black cat that prove her she's a witch! I don't really believe something like that, but... come on! she can throw her dagger to a rock that flew in the air that fast! And weird, she's, talking, to the cat?
"Well, at least I didn't get bit up like that guy!"
Shut up!
"But I think I ever seen him before..." the girl said, looking up to the sky while rubbing her chin, thinking stupid. I lean my back on the tree with my arms cross, how can she not know me? I'm the Flynn Rider, the kingdom greatest thief?
"MEOW, MEOW,"
"You mean that thief, at the wanted poster we saw yesterday?"
Yep! Thought myself with a proud smile.
"Naah…He is way different, that thief we saw before has a nose like a pig…"
What?! A pig?! Where did she saw that?! Thought myself with angry, I fist my hand and turned back to take another pick at the girl. And, she's missing!
"Wait, what?!" whisper myself, and in one flash, something cold and sharp touch around my neck. I look down, it was a knife around my neck. Ready to been cut. I stay stiff as a rock. And before I knew it, it was her, that girl I've been watching. Behind me with a dagger around my neck.
"Well, look what we had here," she paused, I gulp. "We had a spy all long,"
"Okay look, I didn't mean,"
"Shut it! Or I'm going to shut it by myself!" shout the girl and lift her dagger right below my chin, almost want to cut my goatee.
Oh god, what am I gonna do?! And how the hell she just suddenly appear behind me?! I thought as I tried to calm down and think how I got myself in this situation and how am I gonna get out from here.
"Hey, do I ever see you, before?" the girl asks.
I rolled my eyes, thinking; yes, you just saw me like five minute ago.
"MEOW, MEOW," said the cat suddenly show up at her shoulder, man that cat are so small. And I had no idea what 'that thing' talking about.
"Hold on, Fluffy, I think I ever seen this guy before," said the girl, I rolled my eyes once more.
Yes, yes, you met me to save that little girl, now let me go!
"Alright," the girl paused to put her dagger closer until it almost touches to my neck. "Put your hand in the air and turned around! Don't even think to fight, or I'm gonna,"
"Alright, alright, I'll do it!" I shout and decided to obey her, she does sound a little creepy. But, I also had a dirty thought in my head. Now, this is how Flynn Rider would do. I could snatch her dagger just by turning around and meet her eye. I beat she would be too busy stunning at my perfect face. Then, when she does, am gonna rob her.
HEHE, this is a great idea! Thought myself, I chuckle in my mind. I take a deep breath, using my evil smile and turned. As I turned and meet her eyes, I was a little, stunned. She was beautiful. She had a round and brown eyes that almost sparkles around the sun. And her hair that hidden under her white long hood flying with the wind. I got to say, she was gorgeous. Then, I had to think back at my evil charm again. I closed my eyes and look back at her, giving her my evil smile. She gasps in surprised.
"Hey," the girl paused, pointing her finger to me with surprised.
Yes! This is my change!
"You're the guy back there acting like a hero!" she exclaim, loudly.
Wait, what? Acting like a hero?! Acting!
"Excuse me?!" I said, deadpan. Why would anyone think like that anyway? I really did want to save that kid, right? Wait the minute, damn it! I lost my charm! I thought and almost want to slap myself in the forehead.
"Well, sorry but I didn't knew that you're a stalker too," said the girl, putting her hand in her chin with suspicious face.
"I am not a stalker!" I said once more with glare. She took a step back while humming more suspicious. Looking at me from bottom to the top. Kind of uncomfortable. What would she want anyway?
Damn, this girl is irritating me, why can she fall in to my trap? We stare each other with a glare, suspicious eyes to each other. Her dagger are still in her hand. I couldn't just snatch it. She just destroys a rock just by swinging her dagger. She just suddenly appear in my back without I notice. Maybe she is amazing. And maybe, soon or later, I would get killed in this girl hand. But I thought back, back then, she was helping me, right? So, there's no way she would killed me now. So who is she? Some other random thief? If she can scare those bad kids like hell, maybe she's quite famous. "Hey, who are you?" I ask trying to get some conversation and out from this awkward situation.
"Wait...You don't know me?"
Then why did I ask?! "No, I'm guessing you don't know me either" I ask back, putting my hand in my waist. She giggled and crosses her arms in her chest like she couldn't believe it. Why I am not surprised. This time, I have to use my charm introduction of Flynn Rider. It's where I introduce myself as the kingdom greatest thief with cool. 80 percent success. I look down, prepared myself for the charm, and….
"I'm the kingdom greatest thief!" said, both of us, put our thumb up, pointing at our self in unison. Well that's weird, but before I could process that, did she said she was, "HAH?!" we both gasping surprise, together? "You're the kingdom greatest thief?! How?!" said both of us, once more. Now this is getting more ridiculous. "Stop saying what I said!" we shout at each other, together. Then we stop for a moment, with silent. She was really surprised until she covered her mouth with her hands. I was getting more confused. If we keep going like this, how am I supposed to get her fall for me? We look in the eyes with a glare once more. I open my mouth to start speaking for her to stop, and seriously?! She's even like she want to start yelling at me. Now what? We're gonna say the same word again. And in fact, it is. "You,"
KUKUU, KUKUU, KUKUU, suddenly a sound of bird, caught our attention. I look at the girl, and she was shock. her eyes widen, looking surprised than ever to hear that voice, like she knew that voice. Oh great, now what? She had a bird animal that could talk to her?
"Got to go!" said the girl and quickly walks away from me, toward to the rock where she was sitting. I blinked once. Knowing she is start to walk away from me. I turned back to where she could've gone; actually she was still near the rock, knelt down same level as the rock with her hand at the side of the rock like she was getting something. She stands back up again, with a white little box on her hand. And without looking back or saying anything to me, she turned away and run as fast as she could to the woods. I stand stiff and watch her go. Getting furthered and smaller she is, and disappear. I scrub my head, a little bit piss off myself. For the first time in my life, I couldn't get a girl to fall in love with me, right in a second. Because I was too upset what she said to me, acting like a hero, huh!
She actually got some words like me, "this is actually the oddest day for me," I said myself; I sat on the rock stretching my neck. It's already noon but it been like a long day for me. I haven't even eat yet, I've been saving my energy to save a girl and survived from a thief who reclaim herself that she was the kingdom greatest thief. Great! Thought myself and notice from the corner of my eye, a piece of candle. Candle color rainbow, like a birthday candle. I pick it up and take a closer look. I know this candle; this is the candle only Mr. Antonio sells. His treats are always colorful. Even the tiniest thing it is, like candle. She reclaim herself as the kingdom greatest thief and steeling a piece of candle? I though back, why she would buy some colorful and very childish candle? I thought back, putting the piece together. She had a white box hidden beside a rock, a candle for birthday cake, and a KUKU sound which I still had no idea what that means. But now I know; it's the thief birthday.
"HEHE, I think she'll comeback for these, I should give it back," I said with a grinned, I put the candle in my pocket and make sure it secured and start walking where she gone away. I might have no idea where she is going, but I knew she's the one who would find me.
Deep in the woods, just as I thought, the girl called 'The Mysterious Thief' did come back. She jump and jump high from tree to tree, she was like a ninja. Mumbling to herself with an upset face, annoyed with her black cat was behind her.
"Damn, I put the candle behind!"
"MEOW, MEOW, MEOW!"
"What?" she asks to her shoulder. "Why would he still be in there, beside, I don't want to use a regular candle" she said and jump high once more to the ground, and land right on it. Then she continues with running. "It's my thirteen birthday, and it has to be special!" she keep on running, and after a minute of run, she just passed right through me with only a dust leaving behind. I was frozen for a second; I got to admit she was fast. I turned back where she was running. And luckily, she was half way away from me. Like five feet away and suddenly stopping her feet. She turned back right at me, with fast and grumpy way she's already one foot away from me.
"Why are you here?!"
I almost burst out a laugh and quickly shut it to turn it into a chuckled, she was pretty cute. And weird. I stand up straight and clear my throat. "You forgot something," I said and put out the candle from my pocket. She gasps surprised.
"Give it back!"
"Wow, wait the minute 'Mysterious Thief'," I said and raise my hand with the candle, put the candle high enough from her reach. "So this is your birthday, right? How about if I join in?" I said with my evil wolf smile, at eventually it made her flaming fire.
Weird,
"Why in the world would I let you join in?!"
I smirk. "Then, I guess you'll be using regular candle," She growl with gritted teeth like an angry dog. "And since I don't need this candle..." I said and putting my other hand to the edge of the candle to break in half. Before I do,
"Stop! You can come!"
got cha!
