The Criminal

Nick a tall dark, mysterious, and sexy criminal. Has a past that led him up to his, now criminal, ways, but let's not talk about that right now. When the new queen came to reign, she ordered all the guards to go a look for the criminal that kept stealing from her people which made him go underground and take a break from theft. After about two weeks of being underground he figured that he could still steal as long as he was more careful then he usually was, so he decided to basically start stealing where he first did. A lonely old lady who usually slept as she was selling fruit. He landed gracefully on the ground in front of the cart as quietly as he could and looked over the fruit to find the freshest one he could see, when the old lady stirred a little and woke up, while she was allowing her eyes to adjust to the light he quickly grabbed an apple and ran.

"Ahhhhh! He just stole from me!!" she pointed after him, and little did he know the guards were coming from the way he running towards.

"Halt! You theiving low life!" one of them shouted at him and he began to turn around to run the other way but he only ran into a solid figure knocking him to the ground and soon he was surrounded by about 10 guards who were pointing their swords and spears at his head.

"Take it easy boys! Let me see him." a demanding but gentle female voice came from behind one of the guards, two of them backed up allowing passage for their queen. "Why do you keep stealing from my people?!" Nick looks up at her and keeps silent captivated by her youthful beauty, he thought she was a 45 year old queen but she looked like she was 21.

"So you're the new queen?" he smirks up at her relaxing a little regardless of the weapons pointed at his head.

"You didn't answer my question let me say it slower for you. Why. Do. You. Keep. Stealing. From. My. People?!" he only sits there meeting her gaze. "Take him to the castle. I'll talk to him, and put him in one of the rooms with the windows boarded up and five guards at his door at all times. Three outside and two inside the room. If you find any others put them in the holding dungeon, just in case this one doesn't talk." the queen said looking at what Nick thought was the Captain.

"But Your Majesty..." he prepared to argue with her only to get interrupted by her.

"Did I Stutter!?" the guard stays silent. "Yeah I didn't think so. Take him to the castle. Now!" 

"Yes, Your Majesty." he looks down at Nick who is smiling a little. "Don't think you're off the hook yet. Thief." two guards pick him up cuff him and push him towards the path to the castle.

Once there they continue walking him towards the room, where three guards were already waiting their arrival, they push him into the room with the two guards and lock his door. 

Back in the town where the queen is on her way to the castle once again, with her people lining the streets and shouting at her.

"Queen Ivy! I love what you're doing with the town!" 

"Oh My God! You're my hero."

"Queen Ivy! Will you be mine?!" 

A lot of men and women were yelling as she rode past them in her horse drawn carriage.

"So your Majesty why did you basically let the criminal off the hook?" her assistant asked.

"I didn't let him off the hook... I simply want to talk to him and figure out why he keeps stealing from everyone... plus besides when I looked at him he seemed to have like this pull on me or something but I don't know all I know is that I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, regardless of the amount of times he stole from my people. The last queen didn't exactly care what happened in her town if it didn't affect her." she looks at her assistant with determination and sympathy her eyes. "I'm gonna see if I can at least try to turn the criminals around and if I can't do that then I'll either ban them or have them killed based on what they did. I just believe that just because someone did something or somethings awful in their past, it doesn't define the person who they actually are, who knows maybe there's something that caused them to become what they are now and that can change if they're willing to let it." Her assistant chuckles.

"Sometimes I wonder if you're to good for this world Queen Ivy." she smiles and than goes quiet lost in her thoughts. 

They get the castle and Ivy demands one of her servants to go and get Nick for dinner.
