Disclaimer: It's all mine! Except for the stuff that isn't, of course.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Shamon: Thank you so much for reviewing!!!! I was starting to think the story would go completely unnoticed. While I was writing, I changed the direction I wanted the story to go several times, so if it seems to change styles or anything like that, please forgive me. Personally, I think the chapters get better at the second half of the story, but that could be just me. And just to let you know, I do have histories planned out for all four thieves. Book of Blue is actually written and posted by my friend, under the pen name Stary Night, and it is very good. So if you want to know Blue's history you can check that out too. The other histories have yet to be written, and Band Of Thieves 2 is under way. Also, if you have any questions about what is going on at any point in the story I would be more than happy to answer them. Wow, that note was a lot longer than I intended. Sorry. Thanks again for reviewing!
Chapter 2- Cloaked Women Keep on Walkin'
"I almost feel bad taking stuff from them," said the woman in blue.
"Why's that?" asked the one in green.
"Well, they are just so small. And let's face it; they are not very bright either. I mean, they did not even notice! Right out from under their noses!"
"True. But you know the rule: anything that's got two feet and the wit to use 'em is fair game."
"Ya, I guess you're right. If they don't know they're being robbed, they don't rightly deserve the thing that's being burgled now do they?" The two women smiled and laughed.

The red and black-cloaked figures walked along a path winding through the little hobbit countryside. When it became dark out, they still continued walking. And when the sun rose the next morning, they walked some more.
"Fish is gonna kill you," the red figure said as the sun's shadow marked noon.
"Why?" asked the black one.
"Because! You lost her LGM!"
"I didn't lose him!" the woman in black protested. "He just didn't come back."
"Yeah, well that's not gonna fly with the Fish."
"But it's not my fault! He just disappeared into the bushes! He didn't come back like he was supposed to."
"She loved that Little Green Man. 'He didn't come back' ain't gonna cut it."
"You're right. I'm doomed."
The pair walked on for several minutes in silence. The one in black looking a little worried.
"My stomach's growlin'," muttered the red women later. "We haven't had anything to eat since Thursday."
"We had those berries on Friday. And those mushrooms on Saturday," the other pointed out.
"A handful of raspberries and two mushrooms? Those don't count."
"Well, we'll be there by dusk. They'll have the food there. Just keep walking."
The red woman sighed. "Is grass edible?"
