Her freedom (A Travlyn FF)

A theif ~4~

Travis stepped away from the hug and smiled at me. "Shall we get going then?"

I nodded and we both started walking down the streets of the beautiful town. I gawked at all the tall beautiful buildings.

"You'd catch a fly if you keep your mouth open like that." Travis said and I snapped it shut giving him a glare.

"Oh shut up! How can I not!? All these buildings are tall and beautiful. Phoenix Drop was beautiful, yes, but this is beautiful in a completely different way!" I exclaimed and Travis chuckled.

"Well I'm glad to see you like it here." He said as we walked through the town and past the beautiful river.

I couldn't help but stop and stare at it. The grass was shining and green around it and it was full of cute little flowers. The river itself was crystal clear and glittering in the sunlight. A beautiful white bridge was arched over it, causing it to look even more beautiful then ever.

"The first time I came here, I had the same expression that you do. This place is beautiful. I wouldn't be surprised if a fairy zipped by right now!" He exclaimed and I laughed.

"Yeah it's as if it's from a fairytale!"

He chuckled. "Here, let's get going. I have to get some stuff while we're here." He said and I nodded following behind him as he walked.

We entered the area which seemed to be the market. We passed by stores that were opened up and full of cheer.

"Someone could easily steal something from here." I said with a chuckle as I looked over to Travis and he placed a necklace in my hand.

"Where'd you get that?" I asked him surprised that he suddenly had a necklace. A beautiful one might I add.

"Its a beautiful necklace for someone even more beautiful." He said as he winked at me and I shook my head.

"No. Where did you get that!?" I asked him once again and he shrugged.

"It really is easy to take things from here. Isn't it?" He said, as he kept on walking as if nothing happened.

"Why would you do that!?" I asked him and he shrugged.

"I don't have a job. Where'd you think I got all my stuff from?" He smirked and I looked at him, my mouth agape.

"What about sleeping bags and those big things you own?" I asked him and he laughed.

"Oh you didn't think I stole those did you!? Of course not! It's too big. I bought them." He said and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Wait.... you don't work. So where's the money from?" I asked him.

"I pickpocket people. Pretty easy once you get the hang of it! And it actually makes a lot of money." He smirked.

I grabbed Travis and brought him out of the market and to an alleyway to talk to him.

"Don't steal things from people!" I exclaimed. "That's what thieves do!" I exclaimed.

"But I am! Oh and also a pickpocket. Also, you can't say you're not a theif, because you stole something precious from me." He said.

"What did I ever steal from you!?" I exclaimed frustrated that he was accusing me now.

"You stole my heart." He said with a wink and I rolled my eyes.

"Stop kidding around! You can't just steal from people like that!" I exclaimed once again.

"But you-"

"I'm not a theif! Don't lump me with them! Thieves are the ones who probably attacked Phoenix Drop and burnt it down! I don't hurt people for my own desires!" I exclaimed not wanting to be called someone who would do horrible things.

"I'm... sorry." He said.

I shook my head. "Whatever. Do whatever you want I'll go walk around. Meet you at that bridge in 2 hours."

I walked away from Travis with a sigh, annoyed that he called me a theif. I know he was just joking around, and meant no harm but it just hurt.

I was going to go buy fruits, when I realized that I didn't have much money. There were a few coins in my pocket. Probably not enough to buy anything here.

I sighed and walked out of the market and over the bridge. I was walking around when a short girl with amber eyes, jet black hair and tanned skin came up to me.

"Hi! What are you doing?" She asked me.

I looked down at her. "I'm enjoying the view of this town it's beautiful."

"You think it is?" She asked jumping up and down. "Here! I'll show you a place where you can see the whole town from. It looks amazing." She said as she started to drag my hand.

"Uh ok." I said as she kept on walking.

"My names Aphmau! I live here in Falcon Claw." She said and I smiled at her enthusiasm.

"That's a unique name! My name is Katelyn." I said with a smile as we approached a huge house on a hill.

"That's a nice name! Now come on! It's best when the sun starts to set." She said as she pulled me up the hill.

We entered the house and I stared at it in awe.

"Who's house is this?" I asked her.

"Well, it's the lords house." She said and I stopped.

"Wait wait. Then why are we in here? We'll get in big trouble!" I exclaimed and she laughed.

"Oh don't worry. The lord won't mind me." She said as she took me to the roof of the house. It was just becoming sunset, and it was beautiful.

The sun shone a brilliant colour of orange, as the surrounding skies were a splash of red, orange and yellow. The brilliant colours faded to black up top, as the night sky has begun to come down.

I couldn't take my eyes off of the sunset. The river shone orange with it, and the town looked beautiful in a different way.

"I come here every evening that I can to watch this sunset. It never gets old. And the beauty says forever."

I was confused as to what she said until the stars came up. The stars were so clear here, and you could see some warm lights from some houses. It looked perfect, as if this town was a painting that were imagined out of perfection.

"After sunset, the stars are beautiful. After stars, it's sunrise then the beautiful view of this city." She said. "I used to travel, but ever since coming to this city, I grew fond of it. I just couldn't leave."

I smiled. "Thanks for letting me come. It was really beautiful."

"No problem! As soon as everyone comes most people start opening markets or go to the lord to discuss about things. Not many really enjoy this place as is!"

"I should-"

"Aphmau?" A voice asked from down stairs.

Aphmau smiled. "I'm here!"

Soon or later, a man with dark brown eyes and black hair with tanned skin and a red vest came up to the room. His vest was open, revealing his stomach.

"Oh uh hello." I said to the person.

"Oh hello." The person said looking a bit confused.

Aphmau laughed. "Aaron, this is Katelyn. Katelyn was admiring the beauty of this place, so I took her here to enjoy it from here."

"Oh that's great!" Aaron said with a smile.

"Katelyn, this is Aaron. He is the lord of Falcon Claw."

"Oh! I'm sorry. " I said as I stood up to bow but he stopped me.

"Please no formalities princess Katelyn." He said with a smile and a bow.

Yo! This chapters out early cause I finished it earlier on. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please vote, comment, and share my story!

QOTD: sunset or stars?

AOTD: It would be stars because they're absolutely beautiful, but I can't see them much from where I live so I'd have to go with sunset. Sunsets are so beautiful too.
