Chapter 2: Horse Thief
A slim shadow glided quickly to the other side of the barn,slipping smoothe inside.
The darkness wasn't much of a problem for him,in fact it helped calm him down whenever he was going a "job".he loved knowing that despite of the dark he could see his prize and enemy but they couldn't see him.
Pausing for a few seconds he moved again,taking step by step listening to the crunch of hay and soft breaths of the stocklife in the barn,he remembered where exactly to look,the less times searching the more to escaping he assured himself.
When he came to the gate he wanted,he carfully unlatched the door but flinched when the door creaked,once opened he could faintly make out the light glow of the white stallion,it turned to him neighing softly,he grinned.
"Its ok horsey were just going for a afternoon ride," his smile grew.
He Placed the reigns he grabbed trying to be fast but slow,the white stallion backed it self away from the stranger grunting but bit on the muzzle anyway.
Duo eased the horse out of its royal stable,he was about to comment to himself the Horse lived better then him but that would change once he toke the Nobles precious Horse for money.this sort of thing wasn't his thing but he need money in order to do the big jobs.A child could break in he thought creeping to the barn door.
Suddenly the Stallion lost control yanking Duo back,it neighed loudly,grunting and rearing.
"SHHHH! Horsey! Good Horsey! Whoa Horsey," he said trying to calm the animal down only to find the other horses were starting to react as well,the darkness seem to betray him since he couldn't figure what started them,he cursed out loud but was silenced when the barn door burst open.
"Whos in here," said a servant waving a lantern around spotting Duo trying to hide beside the horse who kept rearing almost hitting him.
"what do you think your doing!"
"well I was going for a night picinic but t-that looks about over," he grunted then let the reigns go,the horse ran forward almost running over the servant who landed hard on the ground,the crazed horse bursted through the doors,Duo could hear the shouts and neighs outside.time to vanish!
Duo was about to run for the door when soldiers busted in surrounding him,swords and spears drawn.
"uh hee wouldn't you know it! I got completely lost in the dark then that horse went mad nearly killing that man which I saved by the way," he said with hands up.
A soldiers was by the side of the servant helping him up,the servant held one side of his head but looked at Duo.
"He did this! place get the Masters Stallion back," he pleaded to the soldier,the rest were glaring at Duo who was Smiling friendly.
"well you can forget me saving you again"
"Take him away now,"
Duo didn't run or fight back even though the soldier backhanded him,he looked clearly at the guard who hit him and smiled,the soldiers saw this.
"what are you smiling at fool?"
"oh nothing just something important," he said as they dragged him into the night.
