The cold winter brushed lightly against her chocolate flawless chocolate skin sending waves of shivers down her beautifully curved back. The all black outfit Arymone
had her wear didn't help much with the cold now with half of her body immersed in the snow.
She had tucked herself between two mighty oak trees. Her breathing was shallow and controlled through the black mask that concealed the lower half of her small round face.
She was trembling all over from the freezing cold which had tremendously brought down her previously high pulse rate. She turned paler than she already was as her body turned immobile.
The sound of the guards' heavy footsteps carried on in vast field as they spread out in all directions. Some were closer to her than others and the paled girl made sure to stay perfectly still.
"What this?" a guard's baritone announced to the rest about his discovery.
"Footprints, obviously! Looks like she went this way." Another guard said as he signalled the others to follow the girl's bootprints.
She thought the falling snow would have covered them. Looks like luck wasn't on her side today she thought as she prepared herself to take off.
She dashed out of her previously safe haven putting the guards that had gathered around the olden trees in a trance as they awed at her amazing speed.
The guards froze in place when the they felt an ominous skin crawling aura fill the atmosphere and all their eyes turned to where it was coming from.
Their leader was immobile as he stood majestically with his eyes closed. He looked like the pure definition of beauty and elegance which contrasted greatly with the aura emanating from him.
He didn't need to say a word for the inferiors to know they needed to go after the thief. They bolted after the speeding girl but there was already a great distance that she had created.
"Command Center, close the entrance now," the leader said calmly in a low but dangerous tone. He was still pondering how the intruder got in. New Era Technology was reputed to have the tightest security and it was true
She must be working for really advanced tech association. He would make sure to make her spill everything once they captured, detained and interrogated her.
He then started his own sprint across the snow blanketed field toward the shutting gates. Soon he would have the answers he needed.
The curly haired girl stood in utter shock as she watched with wide eyes as the obsidian gates shut in her face. Looks like she had gotten slower than she was.
She turned around and as she had expected, the guards had finally caught up; took them long enough she scoffed inwardly.
The circle of guards broke parting way for the leader to approach the thief. He brought with him a staggering power that could make even the most confident person tremble. This gutsy girl wasn't one of those people and she looked right into his ink black eyes matching his gaze.
"Did you really think you would get away?" he asked her his face void of any emotion?. "Oh no, looks like I'm trapped. What will I do?" She said sarcastically.
With a slight nod of his he, two guards came forward to detain her. No way she would let herself to be caught so easily.
She ran for the left pillar supporting the gates using it to push herself and land on the gate. She used the metal bars that crowned the enormous gate to pull herself up. Once at the top cradling the gate, she made a hats off gesture to the dark man and her other onlookers.
She allowed herself fall backwards from the gate to the other side and made a perfect landing on her with hands raised up in showmanship except the
street was desolate with no one to applaud the performance.
On the other side, the ominous man stood in the exact same position his eyes fixated on the spot the girl had just disappeared from. His appearance on the outside was one of calmness and only his eyes revealed the rage that lay within the portrait of perfection.
"IT go over all the footage again, make sure not to miss anything and Rodrigo do a full ground sweep and check for any fingerprints or anything we can use to identify her on the global database" "Yes, Sir Damien. We're on it"the people on the other side of the intercom devices answered.
Damien turned to walk back into the building but a blonde guard spoke up rather timidly," Sir Damien, you don't want us to follow her?" Damien stop in his tracks but didn't bother to turn and look at him.
"No Tom, she is most especially expecting us to do so. It will be a waste of time and get us no where.". He explained in his cold emotionless voice.
Damien was about to continue toward the building once again when he stopped again," And Tom, don't speak to me with such a timid tone again unless you want to lose your job...your supposed to be a guard " He threatened and walked off taking his regal aura with him.
The young guard trembled in his boots when he heard the threat. He always tried his best to stay on their boss' good side because he needed the good money from the job.
Back out did the gate
The curl head was running down the quiet road dimly lit by the canescent street lights. The path got darker and darker as the number of the street lights reduced more and more until there were none at all.
In the dark place, she made a sharp turn down an alley. Immediately, a motorbike could be heard roaring to life in the quiet night and it zoomed out of its hiding place faster than a rain drop.
"Did you have a good time Simone?" the artificially intelligent motorbike asked while warming her seat to make her partner more comfortable.
"Sure it was Alexis," 'Well as fun as a robbery can be' she added in her head."I detect sarcasm in your tone Simone" "Good, it means now you can detect human emotions and that I'm a genius. Engage auto pilot" Simone was delighted that her tech was working as it should be.
As soon as Alexis switched to auto pilot, she put on her helmet. Simone loved fun but was always careful it wouldn't send her for an unscheduled trip to heaven. Sure Alexis could detect human emotions but she doubted if she could feel pain so better safe than sorry.
"Okay Alexis, back to manual control and activate the electromotive pulse". Alexis did as instructed and they swerved through the almost completely empty streets.
