Chapter 8

Brant's POV

I sat on the edge of a platform, my tent with Luke a few meters away. I ran my finger across the blade of my knife, cutting myself. I pulled back with a jerk and scowled. Rubbing the blood on my torn jeans I stood up and walked off to the tent.

"Going out again?" Luke asked me without looking up from whatever the heck he was doing. I glanced out at the half moon, and nodded.

"Yup."

"Right." I moved over to my cot, taking the greyish cloak and pulling it on. I pulled the hood up to cover my eyes. "Just to see who's"

"On the bounty list. yeah, yeah, go away." Luke mumbled, still not looking at me. I shrugged it off and turned away, pulling back the cover of the door. I walked out and started off to the rope ladder. I passed Fay and Luna's tent, which was guarded by a few rookies and, I scowled, Ryan.

He spotted me and waved a rookie over to take his place before striding over to me. I kept walking, hoping he would leave.

"Where are you going?"

"Out."

"Out where?"

"None of your business."  He stepped in front of me, his dark eyes meeting mine. I curled my lip coldly. My hand moving automatically to my knife. He stared at me, and I thought I saw a smirk forming on his lips before he turned away and stalked off.

Creep... I kept walking until I came to the rope ladder. I stopped, looked down and shrugged. I jumped, landing on my feet easily. I pushed lightly on the wood where the door opened. It fell away and I moved out into the trees.

I put the bark back into place, twirled around and took off through the trees. It didn't take me long to reach the town, and to sneak in through the gates. The guards fell for my innocent act and I made my way slowly through the town. Stopping and staring in through windows, debating whether to steal something inside.

The town didn't hold much of interest, besides the fact that Gothel had her tower here, and her two prized children. I felt guilty thinking about what we planned and pushed my thoughts away.

Focusing on getting to the town center. I passed two young children playing by there house, and they stared at me, terrified. I smirked and kept going. The life of a thief was good...

The town center was pretty typical. A fountain in the middle, and a bunch of random jewelry or weapons shops all around. What I was aiming for was the weapon's shop farther down the street, where they kept lots of the Wanted Poster's.

As I reached it, I noticed they had put a few new poster's up. I rushed over, taking a risk and pulling my hood off. I stared at the faces on the new posters. I knew lot's of them, and I stopped at one.

Luke..? how the heck had he made it onto this list? I looked at his bounty.

WANTED: Luke (last name) unkown Bounty for 10,00 Grand. I shook it off and went down the list again I stopped at another name and just stared at it blankly.

WANTED: Brant (Last name) unknown. Bounty for 15,00. Is thought to have been stealing the daughter's of Gothel, will be executed if caught.

So someone had seen me... one of the staff, most likely. Snatching both mine and Luke's posters,  I hastily put my hood back on, and twirled around, running back down the streets. The cloak billowing behind me.

I burst through the gates, scaring the guards. I kept running, I didn't stop until I had reached the tent. I shoved the poster's at Luke who scowled at me.

"What's-" He opened it, falling silent.

"That, is our wanted posters."
