Chapter One: Base

Strolling through the door's of our main base everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at me, every single one of them had fear etched into their features.

"What are you mutts looking at? Haven't seen a giant mushroom before?!" I stepped out from behind the giant mushroom cut out and everyone chuckled.

"Same old Raven~"

"Still making it a game~"

"Yo, Red, you got the dough?"

"This?" I asked, pulling the crown out of my bag and held it up in the air, everyone gasps and surrounds me as I sit up on a table, "I think it suits me!" I placed it on my head and puffed my chest out.

"BOW BEFORE THY PEASANTS!" I bellow, pointed to the ground. 

The men around me roared in laughter, smacking their knee's and each other's shoulders as I stood on the table, walking back and forth like an idiot, "I am a Princess, I am a Princess, I am a Princess" I sang, picking some alcohol up and downing it.

"A princess never drinks" Tucker Jones mock scolds me.

"A Princess can do whatever she wants, or she'll kick your ass, blindfolded" I clicked my fingers in a Z formation. Everyone calmed down and slowly went away once they stared at the crown in awe - it was truly beautiful, one of a kind - and it was sitting in an glass box all by its self.

"Your a strange girl," turning, the crown on my head slipped in front of my right eye, "That's why i'm proud to call you my daughter, and it's a tiara, not a crown" my father - adopted father says while walking out of his study, towards me.

"It's quite a rare piece, it makes me wonder how you got it" he eyes me with a look.

"I may have used some Wolfsbane gas, er..."

"You know that's dangerous, why would you put yourself in danger like that?!" he yells at me.

"Papa, don't worry, i'm fine, see? I'll go home now, i'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" he rolls his eyes and I shoved the 'tiara' into the bag and threw it over my shoulder, "See you pesants!" I waved at my family, who waved back.

"Wait, psst, Raven, want some?"

Paul holds out a roll of white for me to take, I eyed him for a second before I took it from him, "Thanks, I owe you" he nods and I walked out of the door and into the alley way and started my way home, putting the rolled drugs into my back pocket.

Then I stopped in front of the DOB, stopping I instantly signalled around and someone walks over to me, "What do you have?"

"Weed, three rolls. Thirty a pop bud" he shoves the notes into my hands and I handed him the rolls before I left for my apartment again - please, as if I would do drugs, Paul just gives it to me to annoy Rick and then I would sell it for some extra cash since I only have enough for rent and a few other things. 

Arriving at my place I threw the bag into the empty safe in the roof and dropped onto my couch and pressed play on my DVD remote, letting the Anime Fairy Tail play.

My Pack - more of an organization to the werewolves that don't belong and run aways, and for the thieves. We're a group of people with fake identities that know they belong their - even though we don't know each other's real names.

We do a bunch of jobs, like stealing something, getting something for them, an odd kidnapping or too - and on the rare occasion, assassination - but I haven't done one of those yet, I like sticking to robbing and other thing's, much more fun.

Staring at the screen I close my eyes and got ready to stay in my apartment for a few days to weeks, painting, drawing, being lazy and thing's, the usual while i'm not  on a job.

Standing in light blue shorts, a white tank top and with my hair up in a messy bun I stared at the painting with a squint, I moved the lollipop in my mouth and tilted my head and sighed, "I have to stop with the sleepless nights, seriously" I squeezed the bridge of my nose before I put my pallet and brush done before I stretched, cracking my fingers above my head I sighed, rolling my shoulders I started to walk to my bathroom for a shower.

Turning the water on I scrubbed the paint off of my hand's and dressed in leather pants, a black tank top and an leather jacket. Putting my contact lenses in I grabbed the keys to my Impala and started to drive to the base.

"Hey lover's"

"New quest my lady?"

"Of course Locus" he hands me a envelope and walks away.

Opening the red envelope I stared at it, licking my lips at the delicious new assignment that faces me.

"Uh-oh, I know that look, be careful, yeah little Red?"

"Of course Locus, when aren't I careful?" I grin evilly before turning and walking out of the Base.

"What about speaking with-"

"OH, he can wait! Tell him I dropped by though!" I grinned, before jogging to my apartment to get prepared for breaking into the Royal Kensworth Archives, and it's right in my back yard! Only a few hundred dollar flight away and i'm there!

This is going to be brilliant and exciting!

I can feel it in my bones.
