I pushed through the crowded market after the thief. I could not lose her. For a small girl she seemed oddly fast. Yet, in a blink, I was right behind her. "What the heck" I muttered. The girl turned around surprised.
In that moment I tackled her to the ground. "Let go of me" she shouted. I had her pinned to the ground. " Not until you give me back my stuff" she tried to get out of my grip. Then she stopped struggling. She paused, then I realized she was listening. For what, I had no idea.
"You have to let me go" she demanded quietly. "Why are you whispering" I said a little too loud. "Listen to me" she hissed. " I know what you are." It sounded like a threat. But what the heck is she talking about.
"Okay now I know your crazy" the girl looked frustrated. "Your just like me". What does that even mean I thought. We're both girls that's the only thing I have in common with her. Then something unexpected happened.
She stared at me and her eyes began to glow.
Just like the wolf that attacked me in my dream. My head started to spin. "What are you!" I shouted. She must be some kind of witch.
"Be quiet" she hissed. Then I heard footsteps. "There she is!" Two palace guards came out of the bushes. One was tall and had dark hair. The tall one tore me of the girl and put chains on her. "You are under arrest for stealing" the guard said as he tried to take her.
The other guard who had blonde hair was slightly shorter, was holding up a piece of paper comparing it to her face. I couldn't read what else was on the poster. I could only read one big word. Wanted. She was wanted...she's a real criminal. And I was with her. Without asking me what I was doing they grabbed me and put me in chains too. "Hey, I don't know her" "Then why were you here?" the short guard demanded.
"She took my bag" I pointed where my bag landed. But it wasn't there. " I swear, I was chasing after her, she stole it from me!" I started to panic. I began looking for the bag but it was no where to be seen. "You are a terrible liar, obviously you are helping a criminal. Therefore you are also under arrest." "No please, this is a complete misunderstanding!" I begged. But the guard did not believe me.
In a second the girl kicked one guard he fell to the ground. She grabbed a log. The chains seemed to have no effect on her. She aimed for the other guard, however he ducked and the log hit me. Then everything went black.
