-unknown Empire-

Chapter 1

Sylvan-

I'm walking down the street with my second in command Henry, while we chat about dumb and stupid criminal storys we expirenced before. He told be about a boy who actually called a soldier and asked them if he wants drugs, I mean how dumb can a teenager be? Well eventually he got arrested and had to do a lot of social hours to get out of the mess.

He laughed when I told him one story from my side but stopped the second we heard a shrill noise from another house that was around a corner, Henry looks at me and I nod, mentioning him to get my other soldiers while I look who's messing around tonight.

After I walked down the street and got around the corner I saw a girl jumping into a house, as I wanted to run towards her I saw her face, „it can't be" I tell myself and try to take a better look at her when she starts sprinting away into the woods, my men finally came and we ran behind her. Some of my men are screaming at her to stop running and threaten her to shot if she won't stop but thats a lie, first of all we don't kill children and she didn't looked older then 18 and we don't like to kill women at all, most of them are stealing for thier children and families.

My men and I try to catch up to her but damn fuck she is fast, faster than I expected her to be, and just as I looked around and back to her she was gone, like a freaking ghost she just disappeared into the darkness and just when I thought we lost her I saw a big hole in a wall, „a cave" I tell myself and we run into it.

After a few meters we or better , I see blood on the ground and on one of the stones she must have jumped over to escape us. My men are running beside me and I mention Henry to take the rest of the men to run to the end of the cave in case she gets there.

After my men vanished I looked around the dark, cold cave and heard a small and quietly breathing from somewhere, Im as quiet as I can be and hide against a rock and wait for her to come out from wherever she's hiding. After a couple of minutes I nearly gave up waiting because I thought she actually got away, just as I was about to stand up from my spot, I heard something clicking and opening.

I try to stand as still as possible to see if it's her, I look around the rock and actually see her, her hair that's pitch black with ends that are colored and her outfit which is also black. As fast as I can I walk fast behind her back and grab her shoulder. She's frezzed, doesn't move, I took this opportunity to shove her to the ground and fasten the cuffs around her wrists,I know this girl , she has been causing me trouble for the last couple of months and got every time away with it .

I take my knife at shove it near her throat, I threaten her with cutting her throat and she stops moving against me.

I shove my knee into her knee bend and she wimpers at the pressure, and I wonder how old she is, „How old are you?" I ask the girl, as an answer she starts struggling once  against my grip and I shove my knee deeper ,  she growls at me and says, „Fuck off" , oh well she's a nasty one. I pull her arms even higher and press almost all my weight into her knee bend when she tries to kick me and shove her face into the ground.

„stop it" I say at her miserable attempt to free herself.

I ask again, „How old are you?" , a little tiny voice says, „sixteen" ,I sigh and don't talk for a few seconds, I can hear my breath and the stupid water from the wall dripping, that is getting on my fucking nervs. I give her a comment that she's been giving me trouble for the past months and didn't expect an answer and pull her to her feet, my hand grabbing her cuffed wrists.

I drag her towards the end of the cave where my men already wait for me or better  to say us, she asks me where we going and I tell her, „to the dungeons" a lie I have to tell her to not set off any alarms for her, in case she finds out I know her real identity .
