Sly Cooper: Family of Thieves

Chapter 49: Fears of the Past

As Dimitri unveiled their next destination – medieval England – Sangue's usually confident demeanor faltered. Her eyes widened with a mix of fear and apprehension, and a shiver ran down her spine. The idea of traveling to a medieval setting brought back memories she had long tried to bury.

Sly, noticing Sangue's distress, approached her with a comforting smile. "Hey, Sangue, what's on your mind?"

Sangue hesitated before opening up, her voice carrying the weight of past traumas. "Medieval England... It's just... I grew up in a Catholic convent, and it wasn't easy. Being a bat, they called me all sorts of names – 'Devil's bird,' among others. And everyone there, they thought everyone was a witch. It's a place filled with fear and judgment."

Bentley, always the voice of reason, chimed in, "Sangue, we're here for you. We've faced tough situations before, and we'll get through this one together."

Murray, placing a reassuring hand on Sangue's shoulder, added, "Yeah, Sangue, you're part of the team. We've got your back."

Penelope, understanding Sangue's concerns, offered words of encouragement. "And remember, Sangue, you're not alone. We're a family, and we'll support you every step of the way."

Sangue, comforted by the genuine care of her friends, managed a small smile. "Thanks, guys. I appreciate it. It's just hard to shake off those old memories sometimes."

Sly nodded understandingly. "We'll be right there with you, Sangue. And if anything comes up, we'll face it together. We're in this as a team."

As the gang prepared to travel to medieval England, Sangue, though still apprehensive, felt a sense of solace in the camaraderie of her friends. The journey through time had brought challenges from the past, but with the support of the Cooper Gang, Sangue faced the unknown with newfound courage.
