This is a very different chapter.
Enjoy
I do NOT own Sly Cooper only Alice and Isabella
She wasn't sure how long they were on the boat for but after a hour the alarms seemed to be gone. But her and Isabella didn't move from that spot until mornings first light. Isabella opened the hatch door that was above them. She carefully climbed out. Then extended her hand down below for Alice to take. Alice hesitantly took Isabella's hand and she was pulled out of the darkness of the shadows. Isabella lifted the small girl up onto the deck of the small ship. She placed her hand on Alice's back seeing as the child was shaking. Alice had never been outside of the stone walls of the island fortress. Everything was so new to her and everything felt wrong to be around. She hid behind Isabella still shaking. A gentle breeze blew terrifying the poor girl. She clung onto Isabella and buried her face into her jacket. "It's alright my small one." Isabella said while petting her head. "It's only the wind. It can't hurt you." She said calm. Alice slowly turned he head to face the wind. The wind gently blew her hair out of her face and the sun slowly peeked through the clouds. Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, as she loosened her grip on Isabella's jacket. Alice looked ahead and saw a very large and beautiful city. The rising sun and changing sky made it look like a extravagant paint by DaVinchi that she had seen, in a picture book, once.
"W-what is this place Izzy?" Alice asked. "This is where were going to live for a while my small, until we find a much safer place. Where no one can find us." Isabella explained. Alice smiled a truly happy smile. Now she was free, free from a world of pain, judgement, and anger. Isabella was almost in tears seeing the girl dance and twirl around the boat deck so happy and grateful to be free at last.
The 2 didn't stay on the boat deck for to long. They walked into the beautiful city. "Izzy where exactly are we?" Alice asked keeping a tight grip on Isabella's arm. "Were in a major city in the European countries. The most beautiful city in the world, Paris France." Isabella said with enthusiasm. Alice looked out at the city, their new home, it was too beautiful for her to live in her opinion. "This place is so beautiful..." Alice said with tears in her eyes. Isabella nodded as the walked down the streets.
The sky turned black and the stars shown but tonight the stars were strangely dim and the moon was not present. But it went unnoticed as Isabella and Alice walked onward. They stopped at a ally opening to catch there breath. Only to be hurt by a even worse kind of wrath then they could imagine. A figure in the shadows charged at them, trying to take Alice down, in his hand he held a pistol. His plan wouldn't of been foiled if the white tigress hadn't seen the creature. Fast as she could possible be she pushed Alice into the Alleyway; letting the assassin hit her in Alice's place. "Izzy?" Alice asked quickly standing back up hearing sounds of a struggle. "Alice! Just run!" Isabella's normally calm and sweet voice screeched. "Izzy?" Alice asked terrified seeing that Isabella screeched had come from the shadows ahead of her. "RUN!" Isabella cried as the sounds of the struggle continued more harshly. Panicked Alice grabbed a piece of rusted pipe as a makeshift weapon; and ran into the shadows to assist Isabella. What she saw made her want to scream but couldn't find the courage to utter it. Isabella was pressed against the wall, firmly, bleeding from the sides of her neck and cheek. "ALICE RUN!" Isabella cried. Alas the small kit was frozen with fear to move. Taking advantage at this chance the attacker pulled out a silver object and aimed it at the child. "NO!" Isabella screamed and tried to grab hold of the object, a gun, only grabbing the back of the cocking mechanism. A shot was fired and the world around Alice started to disappear swiftly. All she heard was Isabella calling her name.
"ALICE!"
Cliffhanger and very dramitic.
Short but very emotional.
Enjoy and please review.
