Loki's Raven

Kill or be killed

The girl swayed away from the man, his grasp loosened as she turned to flee, the man yet to notice as she slipped away into the night. her small delicate hands grabbed onto the drain pipes as she climbed the wall, she heard yells below as she didn't dare to look down. She reached the top of the building as she stood proudly, the daggers handle glinting in the moonlight.

The market was booming with many victims, new and old. Jaclyn Asunh, weaved between people, swiping wallets and coins, I had narrowly escaped the royal guards of Asgard last night, I had feared the worst, I was a thief, not a common one but a thief, I was known as "The Raven" I have a black cloak and black hair, electric purple eyes, everyone on Asgard knew me, but no one dared to talk to me, I weaved through the crowd till I saw guards, I turned and started heading back to where I came. my alleyway, small and not very noticeable, but my home non the less. I had a small box, filled with my daggers and clothes, a small bed, made out of a beat up mattress and a blanket, so tattered it looked like swiss cheese. My past, how i got here well, that's a story. Ive been living n the streets of Asgard my whole life, at least all that I remember of my life. My memory of before the age seven is blurry, I remember a woman wearing a scarlet dress but thats all, nothing else. Im a thief now, nothing more nothing less, I walked to the back of my alleyway, A wolf lived with me, he protected my home while im gone, his fur was jet black, with a sheen of red in the sunlight, I named him, Crow, He's my guard wolf, The royal guards were looking for him when I found him, I always wondered why or what he had done, sometimes i hear him whimper in his sleep, I wonder ehst happened in his past.A few days passed and I grew restless, not being able to move around with the gaurds always on my tail. The main places I'd normally steal from, the guards were patrolling around those places more and it was harder to steal from, Crow was acting more restless as well, I blame myself for his attitude. The guards were talking, I heard whispers of the Prince coming out of the palace for a visit. I was confused, what prince. The roof I was standing on the shingles started to slip as I fell down in front of the guards, they looked at me shocked as I looked at them scared as I looked behind me as more guards appeared I was blocked in, I whistled loudly for Crow but, he never came. I was trapped, My dagger was in my hand as my cloak hid my face, they didn't know it was me yet. Id keep it that way, I just have to get out.

"Crow! Come er boy" I shouted loudly, i heard a howl, as i heard his paws hit against the road, his snarl came rushing as I saw the guards look at him with horror as his massive teeth grabbed onto one of guards hands, I whistled again softly as me and Crow turned and ran, The guards chased us through the streets as we neared the golden gates, I saw a roof close to me as I neared the wall, I was trapped, and Crow couldnt save me this time. I was on my own. I called out to the night,
"You messed with the raven" and I gripped my dagger tightly as I moved slowly into the shadows, The gaurds came to where i just stood, I tapped one gaurd on he shoulder as I slashed my blade across his chest, not killing him just injuring him, the remaining two gaurds looked back and saw my smile, I brought my bloody blade to my lips as I slowly, tauntingly lick it. I moved swifty to the next gaurd, slashing his chest and as I moved to the third and final guard, I softy whispered,
"Hush Little one, you'll see the stars again." I slashed his throat, killing him instantly. Icalled out to the night, a call must like a raven's call, one taht everyone knew as, My kill
