THE TWO THIEVES IN THE DARK
It was a dark night, one of the darkest of them all. It is on this kind of nights when these things happen.
We moved through the night as silently as we could.
There were a peculiarly great amount of cats in the area, around the shop.
Mike silently “danced” through the night, stepping on the stones that made no sounds.
Me on the other hand, inexperienced of silent moving made creeping sounds and great thumps on my every step.
“Mike, were here.” I whispered to him in the darkness. The gnome turned at me
“Where is it?” he asked in a whispering tone. I pointed to the tiny alleyway where the shop stood silently. The gnome nodded and continued its way to the door of the shop.
As he stood by the door he beckoned me to follow him. When I finally got to him he had one of his hands stretched out at me:
“The card.” He commanded me. I followed orders and put my hand into my pocket, as I pull my hand out I had a poker card in my hands, an ace hearts.
I silently but swiftly gave the card to Mike.
Mike moved his hands on the lock to-and-fro until we heard the tiniest distinguished sound from it… A tiny metallic click.
As we stepped in the candles flared into flames, in a magic like manner. I looked open mouthed. Even Mike seemed a bit surprised, but that did not take long.
“What was it that you wanted from here, Jack?” he asked “I want to get out of here. This place reeks of evil magic… Dark arts.” He explained his haste.
I looked around. I saw the sword on close to the cupboard.
I pointed at it. The gnome tilted his head, walked at it in a relaxed manner and lifted it.
That was about the same moment in which the great big crystal lamp on the ceiling dropped at the gnome, a shadowy figure seemed to move on the wall, and the owner stepped out of the STAFF ONLY room.
That was also when Mike jumped away from the lamp, the shadowy figure disappeared and when the owner noticed what was happening.
Mike ran at me full speed. “If we die today.” He said “I’m blaming you.”
I looked at him angry “This was your idea.” We ran to the door, I could hear a sound from behind me, which reminded me of a knife hitting a door; I picked up some more speed.
“I do not wish to alarm you, Jack.” But it seems though, he has found a bow and a few arrows.” Mike said. Mike sprinted in front of me “I’ll meet you home.” He stated and handed me the sword. He ran off sight. That was when an arrow hit the ground just next to me, missing me by sheer inches.
“Aw, shit!” I exclaimed in a grumpy manner
