Thief of Scarlett

five

Thane had sat down on the bench besides Damien to quickly took to cleaning and suture her wounds. Tobias had taken a seat at on the other side of the room watching the two. He eyed her whole body down. Only a strip of fabric with straps covered her breasts. Scars littered her torso. Most of them were small, somewhere large. It took the prince by surprise that a woman would have so many.

Damien stood up from the bench placing the bowl of bloody water on the desk. He watched has Thane rolled her shoulders to give the sutures some stretch so they wouldn't pull. They both knew it would be healed by sundown but couldn't give away her identity yet. He leaned upon the wall looking at the other two in the room.

" You haven't answered my question yet" she turned to Tobias

" And you have the right to talk to me like that"

Thane scoffed walking over to him placing her hands on each armrest pinning him down to the chair. Her brown eyes looked straight into his blue and held it. Her eyes wandered his body. His body was built, muscles showed from underneath his shirt. Her hand moved down to touch Tobias's thigh. Heavily muscled. He flinched under her touch and she backed away.

" First off Tobias there are no titles in the pit and second it's for your own safety"

Tobias rose a brow at her " for my safety? We just met"

" Things are different here milord. The royal family isn't a favorite here" Damien said handing Thane fighting leather back.

" Then why are you here?" Tobias looked at the girl.

" Because princely I'm in need of money and being a crowd favorite...." She words drifted off  " it pays well"

Thane finished tying the laces up the one of the side panels. Her hands quickly buckled belts of knives and ax to her hips and thighs. She slipped one knife in her boot, in her leather bracers. Anywhere she could hide one and not be noticed. Next she slipped on her Belro jacket facing the belt across her chest.

" You're taking illegal money!" The prince stalked towards her until he was only inches from her face.

Thane looked up at his towering height. Again, she eyed his body Good upper body but he would leave his thighs open. " Milord I would step away" both of them shot a look at  Damien " you saw what she did to that man in the ring. Now imagine what she can do armed to the teeth"

Tobias stepped back into his chair closing his mouth to let Damien do the talking.

" Now what's so important that you had to bring the Prince into the pits!" Thane turned to Damien

" There was a murder"

She rose a brow " Of what sort?"

" A blood gate ritual"

Thane went deathly pale at his words. Her body seemed to freeze in her place. She stood Frozen until her knees buckled and dropped to the floor. Damien grabbed ahold of her being careful of her injuries and sat her down on the bench.

" Are you alright?" Damien asked.

" A blood gate ritual?" Tobias said.

Thane informed Damien's question and got back on her feet. She headed straight towards the door looking back at the two.

" Show me"

" Are you mad!" Tobias shot up from his seat

" You could say that"

Damien grabbed Thane's arm to pull her back into the room putting the letter in her hand. She looked at him in question but opened it quickly reading its contents. Her eyes went wide reading it over and over again to only shove it in one of her pouches. Once again she headed out the door stopping in her tracks to lord Maxwell and the pit treasurer.

' stay-put '

' why?'

' Maxwell'

' shit....'

' shut the door and glamor both of you if needed "

' right'

Like clockwork, her preferred glamor took full effect luckily before the two could fully see her. Thane stood there watching the two walk right up to her.

" Can I help you, boys?" She asked

"As a matter of fact, you can"  lord Maxwell turned towards her walking around ber body.

Thane's eyes did the same as the lord " and what can I do for you?" 

" The Lord would like to see you personally" Thane turned towards the ring master and scoffed. She looked at Maxwell like he looked at her.

" If you're done with the eye fucking" she paused " I am not one of your whores lord now go back to shoving your cock to where you found it"

Damien's laugh went on in her head.

He leaned down to her ear " Greatly I would love to shove my cock in you"

Again she eyed him " I'm not in the best mood Maxwell " She shoved her way past him walking down the hall with the two boys shortly trailing behind her. They all kept a great distance apart to not raise any suspicion. After what seemed years go get to the basement of the old Manor they climbed to the top floor.

" I will meet you there"

Tobias cut Infront of his guard " why don't you come with us?"

Damien looked at Thane then at Tobias. The prince then looked at the two. " What is the matter?"

Thane took a breath " I am the one who broke into your place"

Tobias Drew his sword from it's sheath and pointed it at her throat. He looked into her eyes to see no fear was in them. Only rolled her eyes annoyance. She crossed her arms over her chest. Then he turned his blade to Damien who put his hands up.

" You lied to me!"

" He didn't lie. He didn't know it was me until I told him!"

" I should kill you where you stand!" Tobias voice boomed through the wood making an echo through out the house.

" You can't kill me even if you tried.".

" Is that a challenge?"

" Stop it" Damien yelled " We told you because what she stole is detrimental to the relms safe guard"

The prince looked between the both of them and put his sword back in his sheath.

" The relm?" He asked in confusion

Thane rolled her eyes " I will meet you there. There is something I must do"

With that she left the two men alone.
