Fantasy Kind Of Story

Chapter 8: Classic Chase Scene

The hooded person dodged their way through the crowd and out the front door onto the city streets, with Silvio lagging a ways behind, Lara passed by Silvio, barely missing him, Silvio let out a sigh of relief, only to turn around and see Kiburi barreling right at him.

"Move it!", Kiburi hollered out, Silvio immediately dived off to the side just before he was hit, he was about to get up before deciding to just lie there for a bit.

"Get back here you!...you!...aw I dont have any good comebacks right now, can you just stop!?", Lara yelled as she followed the person, who didn't even look back nor did they mutter a word to Lara, they just kept running, and they were good at it, they were like water, flowing through any obstacles or individuals they came across, never missing a beat, constantly changing the direction they were headed without even a single indicator they were turning, they only performed 90 degree turns which made it much harder for Lara to follow, she could keep up but they weren't as good at turning, or dodging.

Lara did her best to avoid anything or anyone she came across, luckily since it was later at night their were less people on the streets, but not by much, it was always packed, so she ended up knocking over a few unlucky passersby in her path.

Eventually they ended up at a dead end, the mystery thief tried to turn back but came to a halt when they saw Lara blocking the exit.

"Alright give the bag back you!...your much shorter than I thought", Lara began but stopped when they realized how short they were, Lara was about 5'8 while the person who had been out maneuvering them prior was only around 4'6.

"You know this is why I dont like snatching shit in towns I've never been to!", The thief said, throwing off her hood angrily. She was a dwarf girl with dark hair, she was pretty pale compared to most people Lara had seen, but dwarves were usually pale, she had dark blue eyes, and the lower half of her face was covered by a mask. She wore a black cloak over a dark blue crop top, leather gloves and some pretty large boots for such a small girl. She was covered with buckles and belts holding up various pouches and sheathes, despite all this she did not seam to be over-encumbered in the slightest.

"Well then next time do your research before you try and take stuff from people, better yet, just dont do it at all, now can you please give me my friends bag back", Lara said proudly, stretching out her hand.

"First off, have the damn bag back, we already got paid for this stupid job anyways, secondly, I wasnt even talking to you", The thief said, tossing the bag back to Lara before motioning behind Lara, where Kiburi was towering over her.

"Dude, your with her?", Lara said.

"Sorry, the bro code, besides, I was never actually trying to get into that little club they have going on, we were just supposed to make a distraction", Kiburi replied.

"Wait, a distraction for what?", the sudden realization hit Lara but before she could get an answer the dwarf girl slid beneath her and the two ran off the other way.

"Have fun being a knight or whatever loser!", Kiburi called back and the two started howling in laughter, but without a warning Kiburi was smacked across the face by a bo-staff, he twisted around and fell to the ground, with a thud he was out cold.

"What the hell!", The theif stopped running and saw an elf standing above her friend, holding a bo-staff. He had pure white hair which was wrapped up in a bun, he wore a purple, sleeveless robe with gold bands up his arm and brown harem pants, and sandals, his eyes were a royal purple and he didn't bother to look at anyone or even speak, he simply stood there and gazed at Kiburi to make sure he was alive.

"You bastard, ill turn you into a pin cushion!", The dwarf girl yelled out as she pulled out two daggers and charged at him, he hadn't bothered to even look her way as he took his other foot pointed away from her and spun around, knocking her onto Kiburi with his heel.

Just then Silvio walked up, glanced around at Lara, then the elf, and finally the unconscious bodies on the ground. Without words, he pointed at the pile of thieves, then to Lara as if saying "you did that?!", which Lara responded with wide eyes and pointed at the elf, Silvio then immediately started pointing at the elf and Lara nodded, they both then said at the same time while looking at the elf, "Daaammmnnn", the elf glared at the two of them in confusion.

"Why are you all pointing?", he asked.

"Uhm, thanks for the assistance, you've got skills to say the least", Lara replied in astonishment.

"Are either of you hurt?", he asked.

"No but where the hell is my bag Lara?", Silvio said angrily.

"Here's your bag dont get your whiskers in a twist", Lara tossed the bag over to him, to which he opened the bag and scanned the contents to make sure nothing was damaged.

"That's racially insensitive and you should be ashamed", he replied at her as Lara rolled her eyes.

"Well, if that's all, then I'd best be going", the elf said as he began to stroll off.

"Guess that's settled, cant help but feel like I'm forgetting something though?", Lara said and put her hand to her chin and tried to recall what she was missing.

Suddenly they were all surrounded by knights and everyone who was still concious threw up their hands.

"Oh right, that".
