I hid under the table behind the merchant watching him do his daily routine of trying to sell those rugs.
"Buy the best rugs in town!" The Merchant yells.
I watch his wallet flop on his belt and think about all the food I can buy with the money if I can steal it. I crawl on all fours to get behind him while he's haggling with the customer. I can feel my nerves it's nerve-wracking because I've been caught before stealing. I slip the wallet right off his belt, I crawl slowly back the table I hid underneath.
"Stop, Freya not this shit again" The Merchant yells.
I start to bolt and run into a cart full of cabbages and the cart owner yells "My Cabbages".
I continue to Run.
Then a blur flies past me and the next thing i know I'm smashed into the ground. Standing above me was the guy who always caught me.
"Seriously, Freya this again" The Man says.
"Fuck you, Officer Kai" I growl.
He flashed a large smile and laughs.
I look at him with The Fire of hell.
"Freya, get up and walk with me" He says.
i begrudgingly stand up start the walk and he follows.
" Freya, why do you steal when you have so much potential" He starts.
"because I'm starving and they're not" I shoot back.
He laughs at my comment.
"If you wanna not starve then try and join the Army" He tells me " Or Better yet, aim higher and go for the Valkyries".
" Valkyries?" I reply.
" The group that Protects the country for heavenly and Hellish threats" He tells me.
I felt a spark ignite a fire inside me something to aim for.
I run away from him but turn before i get out off sight.
"Thank You Officer Kai" I say waving.
