A good four years had passed since the death of Apophis parents. He was now ten years old with slightly longer and darker green hair than it was four years ago. It hasn't been the easiest surviving on his own in the cavern.
Apophis's sharp red eyes scanned the area as he looked around for something to steal for dinner tonight.
"That smells so yummy," He whispered, noticing a strong scent coming from inside a small food shop with a bowl sitting on the counter.
A smile came to his sliver face as he rushed on over and grabbed the bowl, and started to rush off
"Hey, get back here!" A woman with paper-white skin exclaimed, chasing after him.
"You'll have to run faster than that if you plan to catch me!" He called back as he increased his speed, leaving her behind in his dust.
"Bring back that stolen food, you thief!" She shouted, picking up the pace and following after him.
"Don't think so, woman!" He shouted back, turning around and kicking a rock and sending it flying at the woman's foot, making her fall to the ground.
Apophis let out a chuckle as he continued making his way back to the cavern to eat his dinner for tonight.
"She should of try harder if she expected to catch me and get this bowl of want seems like Asebesto Spaghetti with moon cheese on it," He said as he continued to laugh to himself and entered the cavern he had been living in for the past four years.
'None of them will ever catch a master thief like me. Not even the clothing shop owners will catch me.' He thought, sitting down against the wall and started eating his dinner.
'This is delicious.' He thought as he slurped up the pasta using his mouth since he didn't steal anything to use to eat it with, but he didn't care. The food was still good, in his opinion.

Apophis had finished up the last of the dinner that he had stolen from the small shop no more than a couple of minutes ago, possibly almost thirty minutes ago.
"That was the best bowl of Asebesto Spaghetti I ever had," He said, relieved as he rubbed his stomach underneath the black shirt he had stolen a few days ago.
He immediately stood up with the empty bowl and looked at it with a sigh."I might as well take this bowl back since I don't need it anymore and put it on the counter to be washed," He said, walking towards the entrance and exit of the cavern.
'I bet that woman is busy getting ready to close soon. So sneaking this back shouldn't be too much of a problem.' He thought, walking towards the center of his homeworld where the shops and restaurants are located.
After reaching the location of the shop he stole from, he hides behind a creepy purple trash bin that almost looks like the mouth of a beast as he watches a family of three leaving the shop with a young boy carrying a to-go bowl. As the shop owner grabbed the dirty dishes and began to wash them in the sink.
"Perfect, that looks like it was possibly the last group of people here," He said, slowly coming from behind the trash bin."Now my chance to sneak over," He whispered, and he kept low to the ground and crept on over to the shop.
As soon as he got closer, he glanced up briefly to see the woman was still focused on the sink and quickly stood up and placed the empty bowl on the counter before he once again lowered to the ground and crept off before she could turn around to see him.

Apophis was kneeling across a stream of water, drinking some of it from his cup, hands washing down his dinner, and quenching his thirst.
