Yay! I got it up! Tell me what you think!! <3
-----------------------still takes me wayyyyyyy too long----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was about three months ago, now I rent a crappy old apartment. I have fake ID's for just about everything. I renamed Sweet Pea
to Fox. A simple Fox. We do a different kind of work, to earn money for food and rent money. When I had figured out that Fox's bite
had caused my drastic physical and mental changes, I couldn't blame her. It was instinct, I want to bite people sometimes too. But the
changes were simple, I now am as flexible as a black cat, I'm as clever and wise as an owl, my eye sight is as good as my dogs, I'm as
fast as a snake, and I'm as smooth talking as a panther. Overall, I am the ultimate burglar. Although, Fox changed too, she
understands me, I don't even have to speak, she's faster and has better ears and nose then before. We are partners. I work under the
radar, I do decent work, and I'm hired by many different people. I am known as the 'Rose Dragon'. Rose does not speak to her clients,
she writes everything on paper, and she wears gloves, so they can't take her finger prints. She is as clever as her beautiful dog, her
partner Fox.
I was recently hired to do an easy, 'burglar task' which really means, someone wants their stolen trinket back. I have to go tonight,
which means I have to change, and sneak out at 8:46 exactly. I quickly change into my baggy black sweats, my dark sweatshirt, and I
slide the sunglasses over my face, and the bandana over my nose and mouth. Sliding my leather gloves on, I perch in the window,
when my clock beeps twice, I leap down, from three stories up. Landing lightly on the balls of my feet, I stuff my hands in my pockets
as Fox navigates out of an ally way, and to my side. Slowly, we progress down the less crowded walkway, and down several streets, to
the front door of a larger cream house. I nod to Fox as I turn and flee to the side of the house, as my dog whines and scratches the
door. She'll keep them busy with her broken leg act. I hear the door open, a women is saying that mushy crap I hear all the time. "Aww
you poor thing! Darling get some water!" Ugh it kind of disgusts me sometimes. Placing my head back in the mission, I bend my knees
before leaping soundlessly into the ledge of the second story window, sliding through just as softly, I pad carefully into a small,
secluded room. It looked empty, as I inched across the floor, getting on my knees, I lay on my belly, slithering forward, I loop my arm
through a rope loop, pulling gently. It opens a 'hidden' compartment in the floor, reaching my hand in, I grab the key and map from
within. Getting up, I make sure everything looks as it did before, sneaking out of the room, and back to the window, jumping out I give
a long wolfs howl, my signal to Fox that I am done, out and safe. As I shove my treasures into my pocket and walk to the street, and
venture silently along the curb. About ten seconds later a medium sized dog joins me, and we walk silently. As if the wind had brought
us, and taken us again, form this small region of high class people.
Looking up we had gotten back to the warehouse where our client was to meet us with the money. Stepping in, I went to the
designated room, while Fox went to patrol around the area. I sit behind the desk, kicking my feet up, I had to keep my bad ass
reputation if I wanted to keep getting money. As a richer looking young fellow walked in and flicked on the light squeezing a little
when he saw me. Holding his chest as if I had just given him a heart attack, his rough voice drips out between his gross too-pink lips,
"You scared me there Rose Dragon. Did you get what I sent you for?"
At the question I nodded, as he stepped forward to take it off the table I pulled out a small hand gun and aimed it at his head, right
between the eyes, that got his attention. Pulling out a slip of paper from my coat, I threw at him as he caught it. Reading it out loud,
"What do you want it for?" Looking up at me with his filthy eyes he chuckled, "what do I want it for? I'll tell you Dragon, because the
key goes to a safe deposit box with my great great great grandmothers wedding ring, that's valued at almost 1,000,500 dollars. That's
all." I could smell the air, he was telling the truth, I threw him another scrap, waiting again for him too read it out loud.
"Money. Oh, yes! You're money," reaching into his pocket he tossed a wad of cash n the table, reaching forward I scooped it up, seeing
no dishonesty in his eyes, I placed my weapon back into my coat. Nodding at him, as I lifted my heals and swung them off, getting to
my feet,
"Thank you Rose Dragon. You are a wonder." I gave a small bow of the head as he tried to shake my hand I lifted my arm and took my
sunglasses from my face, lowering them to look at him with a steely glare. As he backed away to let me pass he looked a little awed. I
replaced my glasses, and walked out the door with my cash I pocket and my gun in pocket, I heard him call after me,
"You have beautiful eyes miss." I raised a hand in a wave over my shoulder as I left the warehouse, with him just standing there. After
getting out in the open I let out a yipping call, as Fox came from the shadows, rejoining me at my side. We headed home, and as we
drew closer i stripped off the hoodie and sweatpants, showing off little shorts and tank top, and placing them in the Walmart bag I
kept in my pocket. The sunglasses stayed on, as I walked through the front doors, the guy behind the counter asked nicely,
"Long night Lexie?" Nodding I called over my shoulder in a sing song voice,
"Always..." I too had to change my name, I worked in a small cafe as a waitress, to keep under the radar. Fox was my companion, and
special exemption dog. For the real world, thought I was blind, and she was my seeing eye dog. Tomorrow, I have to get up, and do it
all over again. And wash the dye from Fox's fur.
