With a sudden flash, I revealed my prize to Taivien.
The man whom I now often called 'pops' let go a breath he'd been holding. Apparently, he thought it was something dastardly. Hmm . . . I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. My prize, however, was his watch: beautiful sterling silver with a black head and white gold in laced in the band. I admired the watch Taivien wore from a distance for sometime. When he touched my hand for a brief second, I took the opportunity to work my magic and zip it off his wrist.
Again, he sucked in a breath as he noticed I had taken off my gloves. "No!" He yelled, "Aleea, don't! That's a 12,000 dollar watch and . . . "
At that time I took the liberty of twirling it on my finger and zapping it as I clenched my hand in a fist. The watch gave off a couple sparks, but then laid lifeless in my hand. I couldn't help but smile.
"...and now you fried it!" Taivien was screaming, but I knew he really didn't care. It was one of those squeaky screams that meant he really didn't care. "Thanks Aleea, that was your birthday present. Now you're making me go out a steal something else!"
Prologue
My name is Aleea. I have sworn to serve a dark master and have done horrible things in his name. One by one I have betrayed everyone I had claimed to be my friend. And with nothing else to stop me, I have brought a sinister crime-lord crawling into my grasp. My name is Aleea. I have done horrible things and I have absolutely no regrets.
This is my story, written in my words with my thoughts. This is my life, and let no one tell you otherwise.
