Running

That was all she could think of, running away

What she did several hours ago is walking behind Fragaria, not getting distracted by shiny things and being chased around by Pomegranate of all people!

Not to mention the last both of them met, it was at the Pomegranate Village.

God how did this all happened? She should've let Wildberry go with her, not that she admitted of course.

But what matters now is that she needs to escape from Persephone, go to back to the Cookie Kingdom, grab a ticket, go to the train station, go back to the Dragon's Valley and pick up her brother.

She saw the gates to the Cookie Kingdom but it was a bit far away, and she needs to run as fast as she can.

That is until she tripped over a sugar cube, she looked behind and saw Persephone walking towards her.

"Looks like you couldn't escape now Anise, for the most wanted thief you're not that fast aren't you?"

The red haired woman lookup and saw the Priestess right behind her.

For the first time in her life Anise is scared of her, she didn't realize that she is shaking in fear but Persephone did.

"Looks like a little prey is caught by the predator." She said as she kneeled down toward Chili's level and picked her chin causing her to looked at the bright red haired womanwoman.

The red haired thief knew she was scared, but not the same level as scared, she is scared of this woman

To be honest she had a lot going on in her life, if Pomegranate killed her and she died right there then she wouldn't be able to apologize to Red Pepper, found her father, raising 4 kids, or even confessing her feelings towards Wildberry and Rye.

As she closed her eyes silently waiting for Pomegranate to shoot her, but nothing happened instead she is suddenly pulled as Pomegranate's lips is pushed against hers.

Her eyes widened in shock as she tried to pushed the slightly shorter female off of her but she is far stronger than her, suddenly she is pinned against a rock as Persephone gripped her hands into Anise's wrist preventing her from fighting against her.

Soon her vision started becoming fuzzy at the moment as Chili realized that Pomegranate is chocking her through the kiss.

And soon she lost consciousness fell unto Pomegranate's arms. The priestess smirks.

"I'll lock you away forever my dear sheep~." She said as she's staring at the unconscious Chili Pepper Cookie with obsession in her eyes as she carried the red haired thief in a princess style.

The Priestess chuckled softly as she's finally have the thief all to herself, now nobody is going to take her away, not the Berry bodyguard, not the Bounty Hunter and not even death could take her away

Now that she think about it, she did remember about those 4 kids that is with her and that 18 year old girl with striped pink and white hair.

Finally she could finally have woman of her dreams, in her arms safe and sound. Then she walk into the darkness of the rollcake forest with Anise in her arms.

But what she didn't know that she dropped a oval shape blue gem. As well as a certain cookie watching from the distance.
