The Theif's daughter

Chapter one

~~~~~

natty's POV:

Clutching onto the board for dear life, I jumped down the side of the 12 step marble staircase and landed on a cushioned chair with a soft 'poof'. With no time to think about how many guards were chasing me I quickly scrambled off of the sofa and bolted for the front door.

"STOP HER!!!"

A man's voice boom behind me. I couldn't get caught, not now.

Desperate, I quickened my steps. I had no idea what part of the mesueum I was in but what I did know was that I was running right towards an open window. Ah crap crap crap I was on like.. the 3rd level. Please let there be a tree opposite the window, I silently prayed.

The window got closer and closer and I got more scared to jump each second. Okay, NOW.

Nothing.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

"THERE!!!!!!"

I spun around to the voice and saw...holy shizzballs, 20 well-built men running toward me? well, apart from the guy with grey hair, he was a bit fat.

No time to joke Natty!!!

I glanced down at the covered board and back up to the guards, who were now, aiming their guns at me. well, might as well have some fun.

I slowly started walking towards the window, still facing the guards, the heels of my boots making a soft thumping noise with eat step I took. I tossed my long brown locks over my shoulder and blew a kiss at the guards; making them stop and stare.

"Adios!" I winked and with that, I flung myself, feet first, out of the window.

I heard gun shots and yelling as I fell down to earth. The rush of wind trying to pull the hair out of my head.

Just before I hit the ground, I let go of the painting and leaned forwards, so that my hands were leading instead of my feet. As soon as I felt the impact of the floor, I did a rolly-poley and dug my left hand into the soil just before I did a second one.

My god. I had done it. Panting from all the running, I looked to my left to see the board and cloth lying on there, waiting for someone to pick it up. I crawled over to it and picked it up.

Please dont be scratched, please dont be scrached.

I tore the cloth from the board and there was a God!

The Mona Lisa was smiling back at me, not a scratch in sight. Well, she may be frowning at me for taking her from her rightful home but whatever, she was a painting.

Grinning at myself for doing such an awesome job, I heard sirens. My que to go!

I stood up and a bolt of pain in my leg made me fall back down. Oh my god what happened? I placed a hand on the sore part, trying to calm it down. Stupid Natty, why did you jump out the window? you can't run now because you fell wrong--

I stopped dead in my thoughts as I looked at my hand.

Blood.

I had been shot.

Blake's POV:

I had been pacing this damn room for god knows how long. Where was she?! Why did her stupid father have to bring her up like this? To be a thief? Heck, why did I let her?! Oh right, I forgot, I have no say in this because I can't do anything about it. She's my best friend I have known all my life, we did this together. I do this too. God why? WHY?!?! She's been gone for hours!!! She merely takes one!

I collapsed onto the couch, grunting at the impact. My eyes wandered around the room. I had never really been in this room that much, since it was the family room.

Family.

I wonder if I could be a part of Nathania's family someday, I wonder if she could ever love me.

Above the fireplace, opposite the old fashioned couch I was on hung a family portait of Natty, her mother and father and her brother, Derek. She looked so stunning and beatuiful in the picture. Her soft, curly borwn hair was tied into a lose bun, with some strands managing to escape. She was wearing a lovely satin dress that was a deep, purple color and matched her dark green eyes perfectly. I could stare into those eyes forever, if only she would let me. Her lips were coated in a dark red lipstick and just a glimpse of her white teeth were visable. You could just see the gap that sperated her two front teeth.

She got almost all of her beauty from her mother, hair, plump lips, curves to die for. But she got her eyes from her father. The gap? No one knows. Its her own little created to be passed down to her little princesses when she finds a man that will hopefully, be me.

I chuckled as I sat up and remembered the day that photo was taken.

When her mother was still alive and her father wasn't in the stealing buisness, they had owned a beautiful grand mansion and held a ball every year. Now they lived in an exact replica of that mansion, but deep into the middle of the woods. And half of it was underground.

Anyway, Natty hated wearing dresses and honestly, they were lucky to get her to smile just a tiny bit. She was 14 back then. And in a few weeks, the big 18 would be hitting her, but none the less, her beauty had only grown since then.

The faint sounds of feet running up the stairs that lead to this room, the only room on this level.

"Natty??" I called, pushing myself off of the sofa and walking towards the door. She was okay! She hadn't been caught!

"BLAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lea screamed as she threw herself into the room, running into me in the process. Falling back a little bit, I steaded myself and Lea.

"Lea? What's wrong? How did you find me?" The look on her face was horrible, like someone had just died. Lea was Natty's brothers girlfriend but her and Natty got on ever so well. She may as well be her best girl friend.

"Blake! Oh my God Natty got shot! She just called and Derek has gone to get her! Apparently she jumped out a window and got shot in the leg and now shes hiding behind a tree bleeding like HELL and OH GOD BLAKE WHAT IF SHE DIES!?!? WHAT IF SHE GETS CAUGHT BY THE POLICE AND WE ALL DIE?!!?" Lea was hyperventilating now but all I could think about was Natty. She had been shot.

"Lea!" I shook her to get her to snap out of it. "Calm down! Natty is a strong girl! She will be fine! But it takes at least two hours to get out of this damn forest! How is Derek going to get her in time?" I could honestly die right now, I knew I should have agreed to go with her, but I had another job and I couldn't not be there!

"he took the bike, oh god Blake, oh god!" Lea broke down and started sobbing into my tshirt, I awkwardly patted her back and took long slow breaths.

Please let Natty be okay.
