A/n Oh My God am I ditzy or what? Thank you Krizten for letting me know about my error in putting rouge instead of rogue silly me any way this chp now says the correct termonology.

Queen of the Rogue

Fallon was in the dancing dove her father playing cards at his throne, the throne of Old George the king before the current king her father, Brenden. The rogues were much different from past generations, From the purses of the rich to the pockets of the king no longer applied.. Much. Instead it was from the pockets of the rich to the purses of the poor. And King Jonathon thought he was the one making the change. Fallon was hiding a smile at that thought when a theif came in breathless. "yor highness- come - quickly - Alma in trouble" both Fallon and Brenden stood quickly her mother was alma. "where" Brenden asked. "the square" "Emmet stay with Fallon" Brenden said, as he went through the door hand on the hilt of his sword. Emmet was his fathers most trusted man. "but I want to go and help she's my mother as well as your wife" Fallon said "No" for the first time her father gave the 15 year old an absolute command. "yessir" she said and sat back down fingering her swords hidden beneath her sleeves. Her mother had magicked ropes to release when she said a command. "well emmet looks like another body for the grave tonight." "that it does fallon." She had no idea how right she was............



In the Square. "What is the problem" Brenden asked. "They've taken her" "who?" " I don know" They arrived in the square where two bearish men were waiting for them. "I don't believe you are my men." Brenden said. "No in fact we are not" one said. "Well that's not good then is it." "not for you" the second one said "doesn't seem that way" Brenden said drawing his sword. They ambushed him both with knives knocked the sword out of his hands and grabbed him. "nicely done boys" the thief said clapping. "the boss will be proud, now load him into the wagon. He tossed one a length of rope. "yessir"

Back at the Dancin Dove Fallon glanced over to make sure that Emmet was still sleeping. [wonderful guard he turns out to be,] when he hiccuped [wonder why da didn't notice he went heavy on the pints] she walked out the door grabbing her dark cloak and quietly went out the door her leather soled boots soundless on the cobblestone streets. She hurried to the square and peered around the corner in time to see two large men put a large squriming bundle into the back of a wagon, and the thief that had warned her father climb into the back along with it. The wagon pulled out the horses hooves clicking at a trot. [their up to no good I need to follow them] she bounded on behind them darting behind the walls in the shadows. They went out the gate and started out into the country and she stopped to lean on the brick gateposts (is that the word I'm lookin for) panting [I don't know what that's all about but it's something.] She ran back and woke Emmet up and told him what she had seen. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE" "IT APPEARS THAT COULD BE A GOOD THING AS OF WHAT HAPPENED" "you're right it could be important" "I couldn't hear any sounds of a skirmish and da wasn't in the square" she said. "and those bears were the kind that try and insult you in a fight" "okay" "I think that da may have been the bundle" "I was just thinking that" "I also think we should gather everyone together." "the ones we trust anyway" "yes or else they'll be trying to kill me." "uh huh" "so basically the rogue court" "yes ma'm" "and looks like I'll be the leader for a while until we find mum and dad" "that it does"



A/N hi ya'll, let me know what you thought, I don't really know where I'm going with this one but I have a general idea uh it is set in tortall even if there have been very few references to it. Oh and Fallon has the gift but it is very limited (Candles, untieing the ropes of her knives stuff that a thief princess might need) I need 5 reviews to post the next part.
