Arianna/Thea
The two skinny guys turned towards me when we were in the middle of the alley.
The one with short hair has a creepy smile on his face as his eyes locked onto my necklace.
"Give us the necklace," he said, taking a knife out of his pocket, and moving towards me.
I stepped back, widening my eyes in mock fear, "what?" I asked, looking like a scared rabbit. What is the fun if revealed my true color so quickly.
I need some fun.
"I thought you were good guys and trying to help me. You took advantage of my goodness?" I cried out wiping the non-existent tears out of my eyes.
"You won't be able to run away, do you see Alek behind you? He will snap you like a twig, so hand over the necklace like a good little girl you are and we will let you go." he said, his eyes shining in victory.
I let them bask in their imaginative glory a bit longer.
"You are so naïve you fell right into our trap." He laughed,
"did I?" I asked leaving the pretenses behind. I stood tall the sickly sweet smile vanishing from my face.
"Or did you fell into my trap?" He stopped moving, a confused expression on his face at the change in my behavior.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, then he seemed to realize that something wasn't right.
He discreetly motioned the burly guy behind me to attack with the motion of his head.
I heard his foot steps as he moved, from the corner of my eye I could see that he was trying to grab me.
With a swift motion, I dodged moving out of his reach.
Debating who should I attack first?. I examined them. The only guy who was willing to fight was the big guy in the front.
He is the muscle of this group.
I don't need to fight all of them.
I only need to take him down and the other two will get in line.
Alek started towards me, looking down on me, he didn't even draw his weapon, because I am a woman he is underestimating me.
It will cost him dearly.
With a swift and fluid motion, I sprang into action, my movements a seamless dance of precision and grace.
Before he could reach me, I was behind him, flashing a smile to the short haired guy, I jumped using my momentum to land a kick on Alek's legs, it sent him crashing down, he recovered fairly quickly turning on his knees to look for me.
but he was still late, as I stood behind him taking his knife from his waist band, I grabbed his hair, they were sticky like he didn't wash it for several days, I wanted to let go, but held on. Pulling his head back exposing his throat.
I put the knife against it.
The two of them stood, blinking in confusion, at what had transpired.
"How?" The guy with curly hair looked like he was in awe, his eyes dreamily staring at me. While the other looked like he was ready to murder me.
"Lesson of the day, never underestimate a woman." Alek tried to move, but when I pressed the knife into his skin, just deep enough to draw blood he stopped struggling.
"Now that's a good boy." I cooed making him huff in anger.
"Now make sure to give me everything you have." I said, smiling at them, basking in their annoyance.
"Take out the kerchief you have on your neck and put everything in it. If I find anything in your pockets, I will not hesitate to gut every one of you." the short haired guy's eye narrowed, "and trust me I am more than capable of that."
They begrudgingly emptied their pockets. I was happy to find that they had a lot of coins. I wonder how many people they had robbed.
"Now put your hands forward," I told Alek, he complied grunting, "tie his hands." I said to the guy with curly hair, which he complied.
"i said everything, what is that in your neck?" I said to the short haired guy.
"We worked hard to earn this." he said glaring at me.
"Say that again?" I said pressing the blade deeper in to alek's skin.
"Give it to her," Alek shouted.
"Now hand it to me." I said extending my hand. It was not much but I will be able to go several days with this money. "back away stand near the wall," I said to them to make sure that we have several paces between us.
"Stand up, Alek." he stood up carefully,
"Now off you go." I said pushing him with all of my strength, he stumbled as his hands were tied, the both of them were able to catch him before he fell down.
"i will kill you." Alek growled, in rage.
He stopped, looking at someone behind me.
I turned to see a silhouette, with white hair.
