Like a shadow, Karai followed Leonardo in the darkness of the buildings. Silently, but always at his heels like a loyal pet. Leonardo always pretended like he didn't know she was there, but he could sense her. He always knew she was there. Waiting, watching...but for what?
He never questioned it. She'd gone by the time he turned around. Yet, he knew that she'd still be close by. She was more than just a shadow, she was a bandit in black. A burglar with short, dark brown hair and red eye shadow.
It didn't matter who you were, she'd steal anything from you. Your weapon, your health, your honor, your dignity...she'd take your money if she wanted to. Nothing could stop her. Karai got what Karai wanted. And that was that.
And Leonardo wanted to give her the world. That is, if she didn't take it already. But at the same time, he didn't want to give her a thing. She was cruel, heartless, sarcastic...there wasn't a single thing he should like about her. She was a liar. She was everything that he was not.
So when he realized how fast his heart raced when he saw her, how quickly the blood ran to his cheeks when thinking about her, how nervous his body reacted whenever the mention of her came up, Leonardo couldn't help but hate her more. She had made him fall for her, and he fell hard. She was a bandit. A burglar. And she had stolen his heart like a thief in the night.
