Snowfall

══════════════════

The air was cold and frigid, sounds of rushing footsteps could be heard, panting breaths and icey-winds hitting trees, making branches sway.

The snow crunched, Breathing hitched and as much as he
was cold, The brunet continued to run, to run far away from that place.

The ground under him felt unstable, wavering. His breath hitched, ice cold winds hitting his lungs making him unable catch his breath, But he had to keep running. Otherwise, He may not have a chance.

The sound of snow crunching came to a stop when he couldn't run anymore. His legs felt wobblely and weak, His body felt heavy, the ground wavered beneath him. He knows he should keep running. But the brunet didn't have the energy to keep running, so he took the only option he could think of.

He would hide in a tree, it's the only place that would really mask his presence. Now all he needed was for them to not notice him and turn back. He heard voices getting closer, walkie-talkies going off and on. The sound of heavy boots hitting the snow around him. It was nerve-wracking, knowing that if one of them were too look closer to one the near by trees, he would be caught.

When they gave up on their efforts of finding him. He felt relief wash over him, the brunet let out a big sigh. Knowing that he was safe for now, The Phantom Thief reached to grabbed something out of his backpack. He pulled out a small ring, The brunet chuckled quietly. "Who knew that stealing you would cause me so much trouble."

After he took a good look at the ring, he put the ring in his backpack once more. The Phantom Thief leaned back against the tree. Feeling that his Eyelids were becoming heavy, the brunet closed them, he then slowly drifted off to sleep.

When his eyes had finally opened, the surrounding area had become dim and lifeless. Puddles painting the ground below him, Walls cracked and broken, Garbage littered throughout, this alleyway had been through it.

The scene around the brunet had scared him, everything felt to surreal for the brunet. He had no idea how he got there, the last thing he remembered is falling asleep in a tree 'Did I walk here and pass out? Our did someone bring me here?' it left him wondering what would happen if he tried to leave. These thoughts only consumed him more as time went on.

Eventually, He gained the courage to take a peak around. The brunet Collected himself, "okay, let's get this over with.." he said to himself. Sighing the brunet started to take a few steps toward the end of the alleyway. Noises getting louder and louder, sounds of people talking and cars driving. When he had reached the end of the Alley, it was full of people, a normal city street.

It was much different from the alley he just came from. Lively and bustling with people. Seeing others around him gave the brunet a sense of calm. Despite all this, He decided it was best if he stayed in the alleyway, then that way, the brunet could gather his thoughts and prepare for what is to come.

The VSF Officer stated, The VSF commander took a glance toward the VSF officer. "The City Of Falling Stars? Just where did you get this information." he said, Turning around to face the officer.

"There has been multiple sightings of him roaming the specific area. The Phantom thief could be planning another robbery!" The VSF Officer stated, wishing with a heavy heart, He hoped the Commander believed him.
