Celeste

Chapter 6.

One evening Celeste and Lawrence crept away from there hideout, with all their weapons, bags to carry cash and disguises. They tiptoed through the forest avoiding large clearings so they were not seen. They ducked quickly and quietly between trees. They eventually reached the forest edge and put on their disguises. Celeste grabbed her gun and Lawrence pocketed his knife. They were ready. They slipped past the banks outside cameras with ease and hoisted themselves up to a window, which they then picked with a safety pin and carefully opened. After about an hour or so of going through the process of getting into the bank, they managed to make it to the large vault which held hundreds of dollars.

Celeste gasped at the beautiful sight. 'Money, money, money '.

Lawrence slowly started to fill his pockets and the hessian sack with mountains and mountains of glimmering gold coins and hundred dollar bills.

Celeste turned quickly and suddenly when the sound of an alarm began to ring. "This is it. This is the end!" Celeste muttered over and over.

"Quick!" Shouted Lawrence, who had grabbed the heaviest, most filled sack.
"Run!" Screamed Celeste.

Celeste and Lawrence ran flat out. They jumped through the window they had entered through, ran out the gates, shielding their faces from the cameras and ran back into the forest which was now only just lit by the dappled light from the moon, seeping through the leaves. Lawrence grabbed what he could from the hideout and hid the rest down a wombat hole covering it with a mountain of dirt. He scooped Celeste up in his arms, as she had hurt her ankle during the fall from the window. Once again they ran, only pausing for brief moments. When they finally did stop the sun was just starting to show its beautiful rays of yellow light. Lawrence collapsed by the riverside and Celeste dragged him towards the river on hands and knees. She splashed water across his face and helped him drink. He was pale and weak and needed food quickly.

Hope you enjoyed it. Xx
