RASHA

"Maiden Houdini sighted, i repeat Maiden Houdini sighted! target escaping" the commander did not wait for anyone to recover from their shock and simply ran after his prioritized target whilst calling for backup from the headquarters.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the forest, Ragnar's master was dashing through the gaps between the forest tress which were thickly dense. The moon provided supportive warm light to assure her path. 

"On a second thought, why should i be running? it isn't like they intimidate me" her legs abruptly halted after the thought crossed her mind.

She was after all named Maiden Houdini for a reason_she excels in the art of escaping, thus she waited for that particular person who was very fond of chasing her.

"Maiden Houdini! hands in the air, you are under gun point" the one she awaited was the commander and he arrived sooner than the time she predicted. 

He was the type of person whose courage doesn't roar yet its might could be heard from far and wide. Xander was his name, meaning the defender of people. Manly in both appearance and personality, incisive and always serious. He was around late thirties and the most favoured one in their agency thanks to his great merits. 

"Don't even think of escaping again, we are under the orders of shooting you at sight" the commander said drawing closer to her, his voice too emotionless that it made the Maiden Houdini chuckle mirthlessly. she said 

"You came finding me standing, that means i was waiting for you Xander. Long time no see, it seems you haven't woke up from your dream of catching me and i bet you dollars to doughnuts that you will be sleeping for the rest of your life. considering our past trusted interaction, i will let you know the secret a little birdie told me, it said Maiden Houdini is finally leaving the forest to wreck havoc in the world. It is always the greatest pleasure to see the color of fear in people's eyes" 

She burst out laughing at her words as if she was unhinged

"This is not funny nor is this who you are. All things are difficult before they are easy so i am giving you one last chance and you could be the former you, the former Rasha Abbas Rifi everyone knows" Xander said, whilst advancing towards her with one step after another, evidently hesitant to resort to violence. 

For a moment, there was serenity around Maiden Houdini who was also Rasha and most notably her eyes that had nostalgic look which Xander translated to be her yen to live a normal life and among her kind. Objects are categorized with objects, animals with animals, humans with humans, however, she was forced to live with a different category for as long as nine years which considerably frustrated her entire being. 

"Ah, that name, i almost forgot it was mine. Now let me be serious, how have you been? your family and everyone? Obviously everything in the garden is lovely right?"

"Rasha, cease behaving like a crazy person and submit to arrest" Xander hadn't stop advancing towards her and as though Rasha was not cognizant of the threats in his slow and silent steps, she maintained an imperturbable demeanor, responding relaxedly.

"You are the least person i expect to call me crazy after sending me to spend the rest of my woeful life in that Lunatic Asylum"

Before escaping to the forest, she was sent to a Mental Hospital by the same Xander, spending half a year there, and naturally people adopt to their environment which as a result, her behaviour was somewhat erratic.
