Two Treasures is Better Than One

New Beginnings

"GET THAT JACKASS!!!!"

The barkeep yelled his lungs out as two big dudes burst through the door with a young woman chasing after them with only sheets around her body. She stopped at the doorway looking towards the two men chasing something in a long black cloak.

"RUN MY LOVE BEFORE THEY CATCH YOU!" she warned the person in the cloak.
"Don't worry my dear," a deep feminine voice called back as they stopped by a beautiful black stallion. "They can never catch.....Percy Ryan!"
The person took of the cloak and threw it at the two huge guys.

The woman had leather pants and black boots. Her white blouse was halfway opened and her belt hanged loose on her hips. Her hair was short raven black hair shined and hanged loose above her ears. On one ear, she had a small gold hoop earring decorating the end of it. Her frame made her seem masculine but if you look close enough to her feature you can see her feminine feature. Her light blue eyes shined like diamonds and her smile showed her mischievous life.

The women around swooned at the sight of Percy Ryan the famous womanizer and thief. Percy stood on her trusty steed and nearly fell of when a arrow almost hit her.

The guards was on their horses coming full force with an arrow ready to hit her right at the head. "Whoop time to go!" Percy announced getting on Bucky and getting him to go. Bucky galloped with a purpose and ran from the small town. The guards was on their tail with the barkeep and his sons right behind him. Percy kind of regret sleeping with the barkeep's daughter, but after remembering what happen in that inn room, a smile and a small chuckle left her lips.

The guards were gaining on her but she wasn't gonna get caught, not today. Bucky speed up after seeing the entrance of a dark cave. The opening of the cave looked like a bird beak opening for its next prey. Bucky went through the beak like entrance and a couple minutes later the guards and men stopped at the entrance.

"We should go in after 'em," the barkeep said peering into the cave. "We're already cornering them. It'll be easy." The head guard shook his head. "No, we'll stay out here in case a bear is inside. You may leave, we don't want any citizens getting hurt."

The barkeep was reluctant, but he left with his sons behind him. The guards also left eventually after they saw that the sun was going down. "The wolves can have her for dinner."

What they didn't know was at the end of cave was a secret passage where many other thieves thrived. There were circles of makeshift tents around a campfire with a black crockpot on top of it full of stew for dinner. There was small markets with food like bread and fruits that they stole from other markets above the surface. The underground town was a safe haven for thieves and peasants that didn't have a life on top. The founder of the place stumble upon it while running from the guards and started to live there. He brought in family and friends and people who was either running from the law or people who just couldn't deal with the life they used to live.

They called the place Waterpool for the place had a giant pool of water behind the place. It was their main source of water and only thing they got.

Percy got off Bucky and put him with the rest of the horse at the makeshift stables. "You be good now. I just gotta go talk to Louis, alright."
The dark creature snorted in a understanding gesture. Percy rubbed his snout and went looking for her uncle.

Louis took cared for Percy when she was a child. She was abandoned for a small but now big reason. She was abandoned on the steps of the thief haven where Louis stumbled upon her. She was the young age of two when he found her. Louis was only 23 at the time and didn't know what to do but he took her in as his own. He taught her how to fight, how to ride a horse, how to cook, and of course how to steal. After that she thought of Louis as her uncle and called him that ever since. Now at the ripe age of 22 she vowed to help Louis in anyway possible.

She found her uncle's tent and went in. She found him in his brown shirt and leather black pants. He was barefoot which meant he was working on something. He said shoes stopped his creative flow and so he never puts them on when he was working on a new thing. He was on a chair drinking some water when she approached him with her leather satchel she had with her. "Hey Louis. How ya doin'?" she said with a smile. "You're late," he said without even looking at her. "What did you do this time."

Percy scoffed. "Why do think I did something every time I'm late."

"Because you always did something that makes the guards go after you and making you late to come home." He said getting up from his chair and walking up to her to see what she got.

She handed him her satchel as she sighed. "Okay okay. I kind of got into trouble with Mr. Brum at the inn. But it wasn't my fault it was her's." She said pointing at her crotch. Louis looked down then at Percy and sighed disappointingly. "Percy. You don't tell me you slept with his daughter. I told you not to."

"Like I said it's her fault. She saw Nancy's bottom and stood up to attention like a solider. I tried to cover up, but then Nancy saw and offer to help and I couldn't say no to her so we had some fun and then her father bursted in and I left. Next thing I know, her father and brothers and the guards were chasing me."

Louis listened to her story and just shook his head. "You need to get it in control before it gets you into some serious trouble, kid. One day it's gonna lead you right into trouble that you can not get out of. Understand." Percy nodded her head.

"Good. Now, Mrs. Patterson brought over some stew for us and I left some for you it's in your room." "Thanks." Louis nodded his head and headed to his workbench. Percy walked to her room and took of her boots and laid on her "bed". She was absolutely tired and didn't want to eat so she closed her eyes. Her mind went dark right before she dreamt of two beautiful women as if they lived in her mind.
