Ravenna-

Im running for my life, im hearing the fast footsteps behind me that are echoing through the small tunnel I desperately ran into to escape. Him. He's been searching for me for over 13 years and my parents made a fucking good job at it until now. I've got a gun on my left side to shoot if I need to, I don't want to kill him but if he's not gonna let me go I might don't have a choice, this thought makes me shivering and I start to shake a bit.

„Calm down " I'll tell myself and head through a small trapdoor that was on the ground. I make myself as tiny as possible which isn't so hard with my 5'2,  I close the small door and pray that I won't be found. The loud footsteps get louder and louder and my heart starts racing like shit.  My hair is wet from my sweat and I try to get my breathing under control as i hear the soldiers ran over the door, of the trapdoor.

After a few minutes I cant hear anything, except my heavy breathing that I still had duo the chase with the guards my stuns to get away from them. I remember  being chased through the forest and screamed to stay still.

I remembered every single thing about that ....

Im walking through the dark City, the lights are already turned of, in every house i walk by, the night took over the city fast, damn fast. I've been trying to get to a previous house I wanted to break in but it's way to late for that now, the later the night gets the more fucking  guards are ordered to patrol around the houses. „I cant go home without anything „ I'll tell myself . The last time I did I got a really bad beating by my very own father, he said if I came back again with nothing he would cut of one of my hands and sadly I believe that fucker. So Im staying until I found just something worth to break into someone's house.

I hear a few guards and hide behind a big tree, its easily hiding me because of how thick it is, reminds me of my father. After the streets are clear again and I look around, to my left then my right and my eyes widen, I can see trough a window and what's inside makes my heartbeat faster, gold so much gold. If I can get my hands in only a few pieces we might survive the whole upcoming winter without stealing. But as soon as my curiosity came it just disappeared „why the fuck are the housekeepers representing their gold like that?" She things while looking around to see if anyone notices her staring into that window . After she made sure no one was looking at her she made her way to that house, to take a better look at it. Ravenna takes a few steps forward and sees the gold, greediness comes over her and she realizes just now that she wants that gold. She needs it to impress her parents so they won't send her out again to break into someone's home. She takes her iron crowbar, that was strapped behind her back to open the window, Ravenna places the Crowbar into the lock and it springs opens after a loud noise.

Panic claims her and she jumps fast into the house grabs a handful of gold and starts running out, into the woods, she looks around her and sees soldiers running into her direction, they must've heard and seen her, she tells herself . As fast as she can she starts running deeper into the huge , dark woods and for her luck she finds a minecave where she runs into. She jumps over a big rock and she instantly feels a sharp pain in her leg, like something has been cut open. She tells herself that her injury can wait and that she first needs to find a place to hide. The screaming behind her gets louder and louder she hears them saying something like , „stay still or we shoot!" ‚ „stop" and other stupid shit, also the footsteps are getting every second nearer and louder.

And now, here I am stitting like a dumb idiot in a trapdoor that I found luckily on the ground, even after I can't hear anything Im to scared to go out, I had once the experience that Soldiers quite to get me out of my hiding spot and I once failed for that trap and nearly got captured . After what feels like an eternity I open the top of the trap door and look around, looks like I tricked these motherfuckes once again. I said happily, but my emotions dropped from happy to scared as a strangers hand touched my Shoulder.
