Chapter 2
At nightfall Marina crept towards the palace. She had no idea why she was doing this, she was probably going top get caught and put in jail. There was no way she could pull this off; she didn't even know what she wanted to steal. Even as she was thinking this she continued towards the palace as if it was a magnet.
She crept through the shadows and pressed her back against the wall. She knew that no one could see her as she was completely in shadow and there was no light. Her breathing was coming out in short gasps, as she was terrified.
Carefully, with a skill that came from long practise, Marina scaled the wall using tiny ledges to push herself upwards. When she landed she jumped back against the wall and into the shadows once again. Thanking the Gods for her silence, she continued.
A guard, too intent on relieving his post than on spotting intruders, opened a door and walked through with nothing more than a shadow following him. As the guard went through one of the doors, Marina headed to the other. She found herself in a dark corridor and carried on walking, her footsteps making no sound.
Marina walked around, almost completely lost in the maze of passages but she felt like she was dreaming and just continued walking. It was only in the middle of a dark corridor that Marina actually realised that she had no idea what she was going to take. There was jewellery in people's room but she wasn't going to risk going in there. Marina just stopped, still as a statue in the middle of the corridor. Her dream-like state vanished and she was left with nothing to protect her from reality. She turned and ran. She needed to get out of there. At the end of the corridor she hit something solid.
The guard Marina had hit grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to a room. She stood there utterly stunned. He left locking the door. Frantically she stared all around her but there was no escape. There was no window and her brain was exploding in terror making it impossible to concentrate.
The man returned with another guard and Marina hadn't moved a muscle. "And what may I ask were you doing?" The first asked sarcastically. Marina couldn't have answered even if she wanted to. "I think you're a thief, but no a clever one to try and rob the palace." The other said smugly. Marina just stared. The men were getting annoyed with her silence. One of them grabbed her by the arm and accidentally twisted it painfully. Marina cried out, as her arm was nearly ripped from her socket and the world turned red.
