The Thief and The Prince (a WilLiam fan fiction)

A Day In The Life Of A Thief

  ~Will's POV~
There is nothing like the feeling of running away from your inanimate doom. I was currently running through the forest being chased by Parker's guards with my pal Zach, or his thieving name is Graser. He is my partner in crime, literally. We had just stolen two bags of coins each. We were currently heading to the dirt road a few miles away from the kingdom. However, we needed to get away from these guards.

We kept running until we were in the center of the forest. The captain of the guard,who we knew all to well as Strab, was swinging his sword frantically trying to strike us. "Halt! In the name of the king!" He shouted at us. Graser wiped his head around and shouted back,"More like a pathetic excuse for a king!" I began to giggle a bit. We were by the edge of the forest were there was a large cliff towering overhead. Furious, Strab shouted ,"Open fire!" And at that the other guards took out their bows and began firing arrows at us. We ducked and dodged them and Strab began shouting again. " Prepare to meet your doom thieves!"

I motioned for Graser to stop and he nodded and stopped. In one swift move I took out my bow and loaded an arrow into it and stoped running . I turned around to face the guards and aimed my bow at them. Strab motioned for the guards to stop runing and shooting at us. One guard next to Strab aimed there bow at Graser, who seemed unfazed.

" Hand yourselves over or your little pal here will become a living pin cushion!" Strab shouted."And don't try to shoot us either or you will end up with the same result. But please give us your best shot." He said smirking. I aimed it at them and released the arrow and it went up to the cliff. "Ha! You missed!" He spat. "Cuff em." He said. I watched as the arrow hit a rock sticking out of the cliff and wedged it free causing an rock slide. " Did I?" I asked.

They all looked up at the cliff in shock. Graser and I quickly ran away to the edge of the forest. We climbed up a tree and hid from the guards as They came to the tree looking around and luckily they aren't smart enough to look up. " Were did they go" a guard shouted. "Idiots! They always get away!" Shouted Strab. "Come on, the king wants us to meet him or else we will be on the run with those two thieves." And then all the guards went away and we stayed in the tree for awhile making sure they were gone.

Graser brook the silence by bursting out laughing. "What is so funny?" I asked. "You! They were like pow bang pow and you were like zoom zoom zoom and then you came in and you were like 'I'm gonna shoot that cliff ' and then ... we ... we... we got away! Again!" He shouted dramatically.

"Wow, figure all that out for yourself did you?" I asked sarcastically. He gave me a look and spoke again."Ha ha ha,  you are soooo hilarious. Anyway, even though all of this is fun what do you think we will do next?" "We'll we need to g-" I was cut off by Graser. "Hey dude, why exactly do we steal again it just seems wrong to steal." He said. "Well it isn't exactly stealing it's more of them having too much money and others not having enough so we are just evening out the playing field, ya know?"

He gave me a smirk." I like the way you thin-" He was cute off by a loud trumpet. I motioned for him to follow me up to the top of the tree. When we got to the top of the tree we saw about twenty guards and the royal carriage heading on the road to the kingdom.

"You thinking of what I'm thinking of?" I asked him. He gave me a look." Oh no Will,count me out there is a law against robbing royalty" he said. "There are also laws against robbing anybody. Come on," I asked him. "Fine." We ran down the tree and a little bit down the road so the carriage couldn't see us. We got into disguises and waited for the carriage to come to view. Once it did we flagged it down. Some people might say we have an eventful life but really, it's just a day in the life of a thief.
