A/N - Hey people! These chapter are coming out quick! Anyway here's the third chapter and I probably won't be able to get any more out this week. Maybe next Saturday or Sunday I will get more out. I only decided to type this one up because it beats doing homework! Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Rovin turned and marched out of the alley thankful that the two nobles hadn't moved much. Without a backward glance at the scowling/smirking Noah she sidled up to the older noble and slid her arm around his waist.

"Hi" she said sweetly adding an accent that made most men weak in the knees. The noble both turned and looked at her. The older seemed quite content at having a girl next to him, but the younger looked disgusted.

"No thanks" the younger said "He's not interested"

"Last time I looked he was old enough to make decisions for himself. Why don't we let him decide" Rovin replied smiling at the younger before looking into the face of the older who was smiling and clearly enjoying himself. Rovin wrapped her arms around his neck as she turned her body towards him.

"David lets go" the younger said grabbing his brothers arm. David shook his younger brother off and wrapped his arms around Rovin's waist.

"Be a good boy and stay out of this Daniel" David replied. Rovin brought his face closer and kissed him sweetly on the lips. She kept her eyes closed for a minute before opening them and watching as Noah took off running down the street with Daniel right behind him. Rovin smiled to herself and continued kissing David. He lowered his hands from her waist and she gave a very fake laugh as he started kissing her neck. She quickly grabbed his purse from his belt and slipped it up her sleeve with out anyone noticing. A few minutes later she saw Noah's head appear in the crowd. Rovin glared at him as he just stood there and watched the two. He started smiling cruelly and leaned against the nearest stall post watching. He crossed his arms and seemed quite content, not in the least bit interested in helping her. Rovin glared at him as she tried to keep David from going to far. She started backing up seeing as how Noah was going to be of no help and soon had David securely in the alley. David pushed her against the wall and started kissing her some more. A few seconds later Rovin pushed him away and reached out connecting her fist with his eye. He crumpled over yelling and swearing as he clutched his eye which was starting the swell. Rovin took the hilt of her dagger and knocked him over the head. She picked up her cloak which lay on a crate nearby and checked to make sure he was passed out. She left the alley a minute later wiping the saliva from her chin and neck. Disgusted she walked over to Noah who stood slowly clapping his hands.

"Congratulations!" he teased with a sly smile "Another fine performance from the lovely Dodger!"

"Shut up!" Rovin hissed flinging her cloak around her shoulders and fastening is. She slugged Noah on his arm before the two set out along the street not being allowed to return to the Dancing Dove in case anyone decided to follow them. "You were no help at all!"

"Hey I got the younger away from you didn't I?" he responded silently swiping an apple as they passed the stall. He handed one to Rovin after they turned the corner. She bit into it and started chewing. Looking around Rovin almost chocked on the apple as she spotted the younger noble Daniel pushing his way through the crowds.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Noah said watching her cough. She nodded ahead to where Daniel was walking in their direction. When Noah followed her gaze he dropped his apple. "Shit"

"Hey!" Daniel yelled spotting the two of them. "I've been robbed! Stop those thieves!" Rovin and Noah exchanged a quick glance before running in separate directions. Rovin turned left and started running down the alley as Noah turned around and ran back through the streets. As some of the nobles guards took off after Noah, Daniel himself started running after Rovin.

Rovin was having a hard time running, her feet kept tripping over her skirt and her cloak was weighing her down. She grabbed the clasp and started to un-buckle her cloak as she ran. When she was able to take it off she brought it around in front of her and crumpled it into a ball. She paused for a moment in front of a wall with only two choices of where she could continue running, to go left or right. She flung her cloak as far down the right alley as she could and took off running down the left one. That didn't go very far before she had to take a right. Rovin ran hard following the alley which only gave her one choice of which way to go. Finally she came to a dead end and swore. There was no way out for her. Wall in front of her was at least fifteen feet high and there wasn't anything for her to grab on to if she wanted to climb. There were no windows or stairs anywhere and nothing to hide behind. She decided she would have to wait and see if Daniel had followed her or not. Hopefully he had chosen the other alley and was now lost. Only time would tell. Rovin pulled out three daggers. She held one in her mouth and one in either hand. She stood waiting for what seemed like hours. Finally he appeared. Daniel rounded the corner of the alley. Rovin flung the dagger in her left hand at his face. Unfortunately Daniel ducked and the dagger hit the wall falling to the ground. Daniel had then taken out a dagger of his own and flung it at Rovin before she could release her second one. His dagger sliced her arm, cutting her shirt. Rovin stared at her arm as blood began to turn her white shirt red. Getting mad she flung her next dagger at him which didn't go very deep, but landed in his thigh. He swore as pulled the dagger out watching his dark breeches absorb his blood. Rovin took the third dagger from her mouth and was about to throw it went Daniel called out.

"Stop!" he said putting his hands out in front of him to show he was un armed "I don't want to hurt you."

"Then what do you want?" she hissed ready to throw her last dagger while looking him over. When he straightened up he was almost the same height as Noah. He had silvery-blonde hair which blended nicely with his tan skin. His blue eyes blazed as the two stood staring at each other.

"You stole my purse. I want it back" he said taking a step closer to her. Rovin raised her dagger in defense. She carefully pulled another out of her sleeves being sure to not make the coins in his brothers purse jingle.

"No I didn't" she argued acting innocent

"Yes you did" he replied "You and that guy"

"You have no proof"

"You were the only ones close enough to steal them"

"are you sure?"

"of course I'm sure"

"anyone could have stolen it"

"but you did"

"and you know this how?"

"I JUST TOLD YOU HOW!"

"so you think I stole it because of the way I look"

"I never said that"

"but you were going to"

"don't be putting words in my mouth"

"don't be accusing me of stealing"

"I wasn't!"

"besides with the way you and your brother are dressed anyone could have taken your purses"

"good point"

"so how do you know it was me?"

"you're a thief, it's what you do"

"so now I'm a thief?"

"and a whore"

"so now I'm a whore!"

"you're a thief and a whore!"

"so now I'm both!"

"yes"

"why?"

"what?"

"Why am I both? Because I certainly don't see how I can be a thief and a whore. That would take to much time and talent to pull that off."

"but you did pull it off"

"what?"

"you seduced my brother than stole his purse while somehow managing to take my purse as well!"

"why would I seduce your brother?"

"because you're a whore! I mean look at you!" he motioned to her outfit while taking a few steps forward. This caused him to wince and clutch his leg. Rovin wanted to wince at her hurt arm as well but she wouldn't let him see she hurt.

"I'm a whore because of the way I dress!"

"yes!"

"don't you think that's unfair?"

"no"

"don't I have a right to dress the way I want and not be called a whore?"

"maybe?"

"so again you think I stole the purse because of the way I look?"

"you're a thief, it's what you do"

"whose a thief?"

"you are!"

"no I'm not!'

"yes you are!"

"says who?"

"I'm so confused."

"So basically I'm a whore and a thief and yet you have no proof of either of the two"

"yes"

"however will I go on in life?"

"can I just have the purses back. That's all I want!"

"I don't have them"

"you have to have them!"

"no I don't 'have to have them' and I don't!"

"then who does?"

"how should I know!"

"no, you have them I know it!"

"don't you think I would know if I stole your purses or not!"

"I can't take this!"

"fine don't take it!"

"the purses NOW!"

"I DON'T HAVE YOUR DAMN PURSES!"

"YES YOU DO!"

"NO I DON'T!"

"YES YOU DO!"

"FORGET THIS I'M LEAVING!"

"No! I'm LEAVING!"

"FINE!"

"You know what DODGER I know you have the purses and I'm going to get them back one way or another"

"how do you know my name?"

"the man who was with you yelled it as he ran off"

"what exactly did he say?"

"As he ran he yelled 'have fun dodger'."

"that doesn't make it my name"

"you just said it was"

"I thought you were leaving?"

"what kind of name is dodger anyway?"

"If your not leaving I am!" Rovin walk passed Daniel ripping her blood soaked dagger out of his hand as she did so. She picked up her other which had clattered against the wall and started un winding her way through the alleys and trying to find the street again. Daniel on the other hand decided to follow her. He hobbled after her calling her name.

"What do you want?" Rovin hissed turning around and facing him.

"Well I thought since we both have to find our way out of these allies we might as well do it together to keep each other company. After all it's growing dark." Daniel responded pointing up. Rovin glanced above her to where the sky was growing darker as the sun set.

"No we don't have to find our way out together" she said rounding a corner and spotting a wall with windows. She silently scanned the wall and thanked Mithros that it had enough holes to climb.

"Why not?" Daniel asked following her

"Because I'm leaving right now" Rovin leaped onto the window and grabbed the edge. She pulled herself up using the holes, all the while Daniel watched from below. When she grabbed the roof she expertly swung herself on top as she had down a thousand times below. Without a backward glance she started walking across the roof and soon was jumping to the ground in the back alley of the Dancing Dove. Noah waited for her there jingling Daniels purse. He knew that if he had gone inside without Rovin he would be in serious trouble.

"About time you showed up!" Noah growled walking with her around to the front door of the inn/bar.

"Ran into a little trouble" Rovin replied opening the door and walking inside slamming it in Noah's face.
