"Talking a lot today aren't we Delanie?" Helena asked, slyly.
"Hmm... I don't know. I talk a lot all the time." I replied.
"It's time for us to start work. It's night and a few individuals are still out and about. Our perfect moment since there's not much people." Helena said.
"Kelvin, Celia, and I will got South and the two of you, Delanie and Sandra will go North." Helena stated.
"Of course she would always make sure that Kelvin and herself stay on the same team.
We parted ways and our stealing began just like other nights.
" I don't get it. Why does she always group us this way? It's always you and me then her and her boyfriend and Celia."Sarah complained.
"She just wants to keep Kelvin to herself that's why. And Celia? Haha, I don't think I have to explain that part. Celia is the only one in our group of thieves that she can easily manipulate trust me." I answered.
"Well, I don't give a shit what she does.." Sarah said.
"Yeah. Sure." I said, sarcastically.
"What is that? What are you trying to say?" Sarah asked.
"I'm saying you are weak as well." I answered her.
"What the! Now look her you..."
"Shh." I said, not letting Sarah finish speaking.
"What? Don't you shush me." Sarah said.
"Shh! Can't you just shut up?!" I whispered.
Sarah looked in the direction I was looking and hid at a dark corner as I did.
"Woah. Who do you think he is?" Sarah asked me.
"A victim." I answered.
"Victim? Victim of what?" Sarah stupidly asked.
"What else are we doing here if not looking for people to steal from?" I asked Sarah.
"Ohh." Sarah said, as if just understanding what I meant.
What an idiot.
We were watching a man step out of a very deeply dark black coloured car at the other side of the road.
He had glasses on and could definitely pass as a well off guy. Surprisingly, he didn't have any guards around him or anything else. Just a driver had dropped him and waited.
"That guy is our golden ticket to a lot of cash." I said to Sarah.
After some time of waiting for a response I turned my gaze from the guy in front of me and stared behind me for Sarah but she wasn't there.
"Sarah?" I silently called for her.
"Sarah?" I called again and my eyes searched around me in vain.
I turned to watch the man again but to my surprise there was absolutely no sign of him nor was there any sign of the car that was parked there before.
This was indeed a very strange encounter for me but I stayed calm.
After some more time wandering around on the streets and not finding anyone to steal from, I finally decided to return to our meeting point.
Where the hell did Sarah run off to?
"Oh look. Did the queen return empty handed?" Helena said, mockingly to me.
"I didn't find anyone in those parts." I said to Helena.
"That's not my business. Nothing for you to eat tonight since you didn't manage to get anything." Helena stated.
Ugh! I hated her so much.
"Where's Sarah?" Celia asked me.
"How am I to know? She's old enough to find her way back here isn't she?" I replied Celia.
"Look here you brat. In this group, no one gets left behind and I mean no one. Better go find her where you lost her or else." Helena threatened me.
"Or else what?" I questioned Helena, staring her square in the face.
"Or else you will not have a place to sleep tonight." Helena said to me.
"Screw your shelter. It's just an uncompleted building and it's not like you own it." I retorted.
Helena glared at me as if she was ready to scratch off my eye balls.
"I may not own the building but I'm still the leader of this group. I've always been the leader way before you, a new comer, joined in." Helena said to me.
Helena folded her arms across her chest and looked away from my direction.
"If you don't return with Sarah, you seize to be a member of our group." Helena said to me.
"F U!" I yelled to Helena's face.
I turned around and walked off the same direction I had returned from. It may be too late but I'll make sure to steal something that would make her regret speaking to me in that manner.
As I approached the same spot that I had lost track of I spotted the same man and the same car. This is really strange.
This time it wasn't just him, I saw Sarah getting into his car.
What the hell is going on here?! Sarah doesn't even know that guy. We only just saw him.
"Sarah!" I yelled her name.
At least I should know why she is following him shouldn't I?
But Sarah didn't answer me. Probably, she didn't hear me?
"Sarah!" I shouted again and attempted to cross the road at the same time.
The man who was about to go in after Sarah looked up at me and I felt something that I have never felt before, a strike of fear in my heart.
The moonlight flashed and lit up his eyes for a moment so I could see a flash of red. I felt myself take a step back.
I couldn't see his face properly but those eyes were definitely not natural.
At that very moment a car zoomed towards me. I managed to dodge on time by jumping back to the side of the road I was originally at but when I looked again, the car wasn't there anymore.
I looked to my left and there it was again. The same car but it was driving away. I had to catch up to it.
It's not like I cared about Sarah but I didn't want to get kicked out of the group. Even more so, I was curious about this mystery man. Who is he and what does he want with Sarah? What sort of eyes are those?
I get there are people with red coloured eyes but his was different. It glowed in the moonlight.
A man was just came down from his bicycle and was pulling out his chain to lock it. I quickly dashed from behind him, pushed him hard and rode away the bicycle.
I know evwry shortcut here of course I had to catch up with the mysterious stranger.
#####6The man I pushed and stole a bicycle from was shouting at me to return it but I just laughed. Did I steal it to return it?I'm trashing it somewhere as soon as I'm done with it.The car kept increasing speed but I was much smarter than that. When all seemed lost I went through a short cut.I wasn't someone they could easily escape in these parts. Never.The car would take a sharp turn but with each effort they made they couldn't wave me off their tail but then I got confused. The car seemed to have doubled and I thought I was probably all in my head.However, no matter how much I blinked it was still doubled and from a transparent form became two solid cars.I could have sworn it was just one car. It's a clear road. Where did the other one come from?Nevertheless I followed them both but unfortunately for me they came to a T junction and split paths.I paused f
#####7I was surprised to see that the same lady that had brought breakfast to us just few minutes ago was now on the floor in front of our door."What were you doing in front of my door Rosa?" Mom asked the lady on the floor.Rosa, as my mother just called her, got up and dusted off her dress."Is that my apology? You just smacked me down with your door." Rosa replied.Mom laughed out loud then looked at Rosa with a serious face."Might I remind you, Rosa! The doors here open inwards and not outwards. So now tell me, what were you doing in front of my door? Eavesdropping?" Mom said."I don't have any time for this shit." Rosa said and made to walk away but mom dragged Rosa back by the dress."What the f*ck! What do you think you are doing you old hag!" Rosa shouted and that infuriated mom.Before anyone staring over could understand what was happening, mom la
#####8"What?!" Mom exclaimed."You heard me right." Mr Levinson said to her."But... But..." Mom stammered."But what?" Mr Levinson asked."I told you what to do and you simply refused to do it so why not? Unless you apologize to Rosa for your incompetent behaviour, you and your daughter can leave this place and never return." Mr Levinson added."Fine! I'm sorry." I'm said."Um. What? I didn't hear you." Rosa said."I already apologized!" Mom shouted."If she didn't hear you then repeat yourself louder." Mr Levinson said to mom."What you are doing is unfair." Mom complained to Mr Levinson."Repeat your apology or leave." Mr Levinson stated."I am sorry!" Mom shouted."The both of you may leave my office." Mr Levinson said.On hearing his words, i felt my heart beat faster and faster. I immediately started to
#####9"H... H... Hello? Wh... Who's there?" I asked, frightened.The shadow began to move closer and closer and I got even more scared. I got back into my senses and my brain managed to convince my legs to run so of did.I turned away and began to run as fast as I could. At least, trying to run fast. I discovered that there was a force around me that seemed to pull me back, or rather, prevented me from moving fast.Ahead of me was a door and that was where the music came from. I did all I could to reach it before the shadow could reach me and I knew better than to look back.Before I knew it I found myself sit up immediately from the floor where I had still been sleeping and I was panting fast.Sweat covered the entire part of my body and my heart kept beating painful in my chest.That image, it's male. And... he looked familiar. I knew that he was someone I had seen before but why can't I remember
#####10After walking a distance I took a sharp turn without any of them noticing.Delanie will always have her way no matter what.On reaching the back door, I was happy to see that it was left unguarded. But there was one problem. The door was padlocked.Sorry? Did I just call that a problem? Haha, I'm a thief remember? Of course I know how to pick locks.I quickly removed my hair pin which was meant to keep my short hair from covering my eyes.I and Melanie may be twins but I always had short hair while hers always grew long. I don't know why and I don't care about it. I like my hair short.I managed to pick the lock and I removed the padlock.Just as I opened the door and was about to go in I heard two familiar voices shouting after me to stop.It was those two elephants again. I rushed into the club immediately and locked the door from the insideNow I am sure they won't ca
#####11Mama G took her seat at the head of the table and invited me to sit, with a hand gesture, on a different chair in front of her.I sat in silent, waiting for some sort of an explanation from her.Mama G took out a cigarette from a pack of it she was holding."If you're waiting for me to explain how I know all that about you then I'd like one inform you..." Mama G said and picked up a lighter.She lit the cigarette which she held with two fingers and sucked it in.Blowing out a cloud of smoke, she completed her statement,"You are wasting your time.""So you have been spying on me?" I asked her.Mama G sucked on the cigarette again and blew it out, this time making a ring shape with it."It's quite distant from the real fact." She stated."Let's just say, I know wvwryone in these parts. Everyone illegal, of course. Not that you would know what that
#####12I was so angry with her words but I didn't let the burning rage in my chest burst out. I stayed calm and silent."Tell me, what makes the phone so special? What did you have in it? Evidence?" Mama G kept questioning me."It's none of your business." I said and spat on her face.Her eyes had closed immediately the spit landed on her nose."That's it!" Mama G yelled then took out a hankie and cleaned my spit off her nose."Guard!" she yelled.The same man who had come in earlier came in again."Take her to the dressing room and force her to change clothes. She now works for me." Mama G said to the man.She brought her face closer to mine, looking me straight in the eyes."She's working as a prostitute." Mama G added.My eyes widened and I felt my heart beat increase. Me?! Prostitute?! No no no. She must definitely be joking and just m
#####13Whatever. I wasn't and will never be afraid of them.I looked around. Everyone else was minding their own business. I don't know why those two nincompoops didn't just do as others and pretend they didn't see me?Clothes, mostly bikinis, were hung in wall wardrobes. I hated such outfits with passion. I, unlike my sister, I am more of a tomboy and I will never change that.They can look at my baggy jeans and baggy shirt or even my snickers as disgustingly as they want but that won't change me. Never.I looked through everything but still I couldn't find anything to fit in with my taste.The door to the changing room opened and everyone's attention turned to it.Mama G walked in elegantly rocking her heels like she was some sort of model."My girls, my girls." she said as she began to stroll around the changing room.Mama G looked around and once her eyes
