McCloud's P.O.V.

Aphmau is asleep in her cell. She looks so calm and pretty when she is asleep. Don't get me wrong she looks beautiful and sexy when she is awake to. I'm not going to say something like "why is she a thief if she is pretty?"

You never know someone's story and what they want to be so we can't judge. But when people are forcing their ideals on you then it becomes a issue. But anyway back to the original point, it is the early hours of morning and we are waiting for the guard change over.

When the guard comes around I will wake up Aphmau. Incase anything goes wrong she has given me the location of the thieves, Se warned me that if I betray her she will get the whole thieves guild involved. So I'm defiantly not going to betray her.

When the guards leave I quickly wake up Aphmau. The reason we are waiting for the guard change over is because the guard we have now will believe us. I just really hope this plan works. What happens now is up to Aphmau. Ohh please Irene, j know I'm not the best person but I can't stand being underground any longer.

Aphmau's P.O.V.

When I am given my cue I start fake crying and I tell the guard that I'll give up information. He believes me luckily and hands me a tissue. When he unlocks the cell he doesn't even bother with handcuffs. What kind of dungeon are they running?

As we start walking I push him against a wall and grab the keys from his belt. He is to distracted looking into my eyes to notice. I don't even need to fight him at all. This was easier than I thought.

Just as I am about to knock the guard out I feel myself being thrown back. I look up and I see Jeffory. Before anything else happens I throw the keys through the cell bars of McClouds cell. Jeffory grabs me and I manage to shake him off.

McCloud and I begin running and we somehow make it through the maze of the dungeon and make it ti one of the halls. We follow the hallway while running and we arrive at the dining room. The nobles are all having lunch.

I tell McCloud to run because there is something I need to do. He nods and says that he will go to the thieves guild. I give him one of my necklaces to give to the thieves guild to show them that I sent him.

I trust McCloud

I trust McCloud. And if he betrays us I can always just kill him.

As McCloud runs I sneak into the dining room. Now where are Sky and Jin? I manage to sneak my way past everyone until I find them. They are sitting next to each other which makes my life much easier.

As the eating I push their heads so they hit their food with their faces.

"Ahhaha, You deserved that and you know it" I say giggling

Everyone stares at me shocked

"Oh hey, not putting handcuffs on your prisoners is kind of bad, also hire people who aren't so gullible" I say as I backflip onto one of the beams that holds the roof up

I run along it and I get out of the dining room. The guards are calls. This is great, I wanted another chase. It's no fun if there is no chance of getting caught. I look behind me and there is no one there. Where'd Jeffory go?

I stop running and I turn around. I don't know where he went.

Jeffory's P.O.V.

As Aphmau is looking confused I sneak behind her and hit her head with the hilt of my sword. She stumbles back unconscious and I catch her. Before anyone can see what I'm doing I take her to my room.

As one of the elite guards I'm lucky enough to have my own room. It's pretty big to, it even has a double bed. I lay Aphmau down on the bed and I go to make some tea. I think I hit her a little to hard.

The truth is, even though it's very bad, I have a crush on Aphmau. She is living the life I want to live. Being free, always having a family and friends, not having to worry about how she dresses or acts. She is also very beautiful to. I just can't believe I caught her finally.

As I go back into my room I see her sitting on my bed holding her head. She turns it look at me and for a second our eyes lock. I put the tea down and walk over to her.

"What do you want with me?" She asks bitterly

"I want to know if you're ok, I hit you pretty hard" I reply

"Whatever I'm fine, now let me leave" She says narrowing her eyes

She gets off of the bed but due to her head injury she looses her balance. I catch her before she hits the floor and I get a really close look at her face. She has tears in her eyes. She also feels really cold.

She pulls away from me and she looks up at me with fear in her eyes. We just stare at each other for a while, not knowing what to do. I slowly crawl over to her as she starts looking very pale.

"Are you feeling ok?" I ask her

"Why do you care? I'm a thief, not exactly your best friend" she says turning away from me

I notice that she is struggling to keep her eyes open. I pull he close to me and she tried to pull away agin but she isn't strong enough. She passes out in my arms. Of course I would never dream of doing anything bad to her while she is unconscious. Like I wouldn't to anyone, it's all about respect, even if you're a casanova like I am.

I pick Aphmau up bridal style and I lay her on my bed. I pull the blankets on her and I walk away from her to my door. I lock the door and as I turn around I see the nobles.

"Jeffory what where you doing?" Lady Cadenza asks

"Uhh, how much did you see?" I ask

"We saw that you didn't put her back into the dungeon, we didn't see anything in your room" Lord Sky says as he wipes mashed potato from his face

"Well if you want information out of her don't you think being nice would be better anyway?" Lord Aaron intervenes

"That's actually a really good idea. So let's just pretend we want to be her friend" Lord Vylad adds

As they all walk off Sky and Jin are staring at me.

"Do you like Aphmau? As in like-like?" Jin asks

"Why? Do you?" I reply

"I would never be with that street rat" Jin says, I can tell he is lying

"Well I suppose you won't mind if I go into my room and lay down next to her

"If you do that I'll have you hung" Jin says and he walks around, Sky follows

Haha, it's so funny to play with people's emotions. That came out wrong, well in all cases I'm just glad that they aren't putting Aphmau back in that gross prison. Oh wait, what happened to McCloud?
