The City Thief

Chapter 1: Plan

The City Thief

Raquel is abandoned. Abandoned by her oh-so-important stepfather who, by the way, is also their town's mayor. For years she has been wandering. No one bother with her. No one. But what they never know is this abandoned orphan is soon to be the town's biggest and most badass threat.

Chapter 1: Plan

✴ Raquel ✴

A place called Dalnoveia is also known as “the city who never falls for thieves”.  But that will change because of me. My stepfather, Steve Hammers is ruling this place and I want to take my revenge by stealing in this place to ruin his name in this city...

I’m standing on a cliff where I can see the Dalnoveia City. “Just wait until tomorrow, stepfather. It'll be your worse nightmare," I mumbled.

“Raquel, you've got to see this,” said Kei. I saw Natasha flirting with some kind of a jerk who’s so.....  ugly. I know that Steve doesn’t want that.  

“Ignore them,” I told Kei.

“But isn’t she your stepsister?” he asked.

“Yes she is my stepsister,” I answered.

I turned around and made my way home. My stomach was growling.

{in the hut}

We built a temporary hut to live on, when I heard that Steve is here. I think I can take my revenge easier than I expect...

Forb always cooks foods for us. I love roasted chicken and that’s his best dish.   :D

“Our lunch is served!” Kei said happily, “Guess what our dish is today,” he said. I smell something delicious! “I stand up and said gladly, “Roasted chicken!”  “Uh! You always have a good nose when it comes to food,” he said. We ate our lunch then planned what to do to take my revenge from Steve. “Wait, hold on, how can I do something if you don’t tell me what happened? I mean I’m involved and I have a right to know about it,” Kei said. “Okay, I’m gonna tell you what happened but don’t tell anyone even your trustful friend or your family, promise me?” I said. “Promise,” he replied.

((((((flashback))))))))

**back to being 6 years old.

My father died, so my mother married another man and that’s Steve...

He’s divorced with other woman and has 3 daughters, Natasha and Thalia are the bad ones while Fionna is the good one. She used to help me from her evil sisters.....

My mother died in a car accident after that my stepfather became cruel and abusive to me, he tied me up in my room like his hostage. Everyday my food is only bread and I only eat twice a day, morning and night and I only drink every night. They won’t let me out in my room. I escaped once. I’m almost near to the gate when Natasha hit me a piece of wood...

I woke up one day, my head still hurts. Fionna cured me and she helped me out of the house, I ran to the police station but Steve was there, he pretend that  he’s looking for me and report to the police. When we got home he tied me up and never let me go until they left me there alone... Fionna packed some foods for me but that’s not enough. I’m stuck there for 5 weeks!

When I think I’m going to die, I saw an old man passing through the house I cried for help and he heard me, he untied me and took me in his house but I heard him talking to Steve on the phone, I knew that the old man is one of Steve’s men so I ran away quickly and slept on a dirty roads, streets, corners until I found you, who’s a street child and helped me...

(((((((******))))))))

“So that’s your story! Jesus, Thank God, you survived!” Kei said, I was sobbing on that time while telling him the story. He hugged me. “Don’t cry Raquel, I’ll help you to take your revenge from that Dirty Steve,” Kei tries to comfort me. My face turned red.  “Thanks buddy,” I said to him while sobbing.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

We’re planning to steal something valuable from each house from poor to rich until the residents will complain to their leader. Hmmph....  STEVE.......

Dalnoveia is a rural city that isn't so big and easy to steal things...

“Kei,” I called. “We’re going to start today midnight,” I said.

///////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

{Midnight}

We simply enter the city quietly....... We started to steal in the Jones family; we entered the house through their window. Forb waits outside the house in case of someone notice us. I search in the cabinets, drawers, tables and rooms but nothing valuable in them. I slip through the cupboard and saw something shiny, a small knife that they use for hunting animals but it’s not an ordinary knife, I think its gold! Huh, this thing sure is valuable. I put it inside my bag. “Forb!” I whispered.  “What?” he answered. “Let’s go!” I whispered.

I jump on the window and ran away. We stayed for a while in a waiting shed. “That’s all you got?” asked Kei surprisingly. “What?” I asked.  “Nothing,” he answered. “Come on we’ve got to find another house.”  I said. Then he nodded.

{5:30 am}                              

We stole valuable things from 5 houses: Jones, Fredickson, Wagson, Ramson and Smith. “I think it’s time to go home Raquel,” Forb warned. I saw the sunrise and nodded.

As we arrived home I put the bag on the table and we gather the things we stole. “Gold knife from the Jones, a small jar from the Fredickson, meat of turkey from Wagson, fixing tools from Ramson and a locket from the Smith,” I said. “Interesting things especially from the Wagson,” Kei said. We chuckled. He yawned and said, “I think it’s time to sleep,”  “Yeah, I think you’re right we haven’t sleep yet,” I answered.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up 10 in the morning. I’m still tired. “Kei, Kei wake up,” I said. “What?” he said in a sleepy voice. “Let’s get some breakfast. I’m hungry,” I complain. “Alright,” he answered. We bought some foods in the Dalnoveia’s Supermarket. I heard two women talking to each other.

“Have you heard the news?”

“What news?”

“Mrs. Smith said they were stolen! Her locket is missing since this morning!”

“What?! I heard also that Mr. Jones’ golden knife that he always uses for hunting is also missing! And Mrs. Fredickson’s  small jar is also missing!”

“Who in the world will do that!”

“We should tell it to Mayor Steve”

And they left.

I can feel the revenge! I think my plan is working....  “Kei!” I called him. “What?” he answered. “I can feel that Steve is going down!” I whispered. “What do you mean?” he asked. “I just heard two women talking about the things we stole from the Smiths and Fredicksons.” I said. Then we both smiled.
