Shelby's P.O.V.

Oh my Irene I'm finally out of the three day maid training on the other side of the castle. Ugh it is horrible. We all know how to fold sheets and wash towels. I heard about a thief being held in the castle while I was gone.

If it's Aphmau then maybe o can help her to escape. Or if it's anyone else from the thieves guild I will be a messenger. I walk to the kitchen to chill with Teony the chef. She has just made some apple pie and sweet rolls. I really want to try some.

As I'm walking I see a young woman in a purple dress looking around a corner.

I walk up to her and tap her on her shoulder

I walk up to her and tap her on her shoulder. She turns around and I immediately recognise her as Aphmau.

"Shelby!" Aphmau says and hugs me tightly

"Hey Aph, what's going on? Why are you here?" I ask her

"Oh I got captured and I'm being lazy. I could escape but I want to learn more about the castle" Aphmau states

"Oh hey want to come with me or the kitchen? My friend Teony has made apple pie and sweet rolls" I explain

"Sure lets go" she replies

Jeffory's P.O.V.

As I am coming back from my early morning training I see Aphmau speaking with that one maid from the first day we met her. I watch them and I can just hear what they are saying. They are going to the kitchen.

I follow them and listen in on their conversation. Aphmau is leading about secret passages in the castle and Shelby is actually helping the thieves. Shelby will be fired for this. But that would make Aphmau dislike me, I don't want to do that to her.

They go into the kitchen and greet one of the chefs. I know her, she is the head chef. I think her name is Teony. They sit down at the bench and begin talking. Apparently Shelby is dating Red, one of the thieves. Aphmau and Shelby have worked together a lot.

Aphmau talks about Shelby delivering a note to the thieves for her. She gets some paper and begins writing. After a while Aphmau and Shelby walk out and Aphmau gives Shelby a note. Aphmau heads back to her room and I follow her.

I knock on her door and she opens it looking hopeful. When she sees its me her face falls a little. It makes me feel a little upset and jealous over who thought she was going to be here.

"Oh hi" she says dully

"Hey Aphmau, I was wondering, how close are you with Shelby?" I ask her

"None of your business" she replies

"Aphmau are you trying to escape?" I ask her

"Well of course, that's what I've been doing since I came here" she says

I hug her and she freezes.

"I'll miss you" I whisper in her ear

I let her go and I leave. I leave her standing there looking shocked. I can't believe gang she might be gone soon. I guess she will still try to steal from here though.
