Chapter 1

'Told you this was a bad idea.' I trieddd reasoning with him but he was in no mood to listen, maybe I was the stupid one for freaking out after Jake triggered the alarm system. See the downside of this occupation is that we have to be cautious every second. I of course tried talking some sense into his muscle filled heaad but he never did think about things.

'you wanna talk about it now‽'he asked me in a hushed voice. Even though it was dark I could clearly make out his noble like features his blue eyes filled with ego and passion with a hint of regret, he WAS regretting his decision, his blond hair clarified he originally belonged to a noble bloodline.

'well, we are gonna get caught anyway, and I definitely said we should pull the heist tomorrow' i said.

'You think I'm stupid, the only reason you wanted to cancel the heist was cause Ember told you not to' he snapped back.

'You really think that don't you‽' I replied as calm as possible.

'Quick freeze the ground' he ordered as he grabbed all the artifacts inside the chest.

I had no other options I freezed the ground as we dashed out the window. The mansion guards were good but not the best as soon as we touched the magic circle Jake had created before we went in we teleported to a nearby cave.

'Are we done‽' i asked

'Of course, we are adventures now remember, just needed a little starting money' he said while going through the artifacts.

'We are gonna get some sweet amount of gold after selling this stuff.' he remarked

'whatever, just get it over with' I said as I got out of the cave.

'You know we are doing this cause we don't have a choice don't you' he started as he followed me.

'We are gonna have one now' I sanpped back.

After a long silent walk we finally reached out base which the law keepers call the Ravens nest.

'You been out stealing again‽ 'a feminine voice welcomed us as we entered the base.'

Jake ignored her and walked towards his quarters. Only Jake could pull a stunt like that on Sophia without getting his head chopped off. Jake was different, Sophia liked him and he knew that too well. Sophia being our leader followed him inside to potentially knock some sense into him but it would still turn out like last time. My case was any way different. Just as I entered my quarters I was confronted by Ember.

'Have anything to say for yourself‽'she asked me furious.

Not that it affected me, her nose would go white to red when she was furious and I personally liked that I mean who wouldn't her lively graan eyes, fair skin and her strawberry hair alone would make anyone want to give her a smooch add a kind motherly and curious nature to that and viola. The only thing that was stopping me from doing anything to her was my instinct to protect her, holding her close to me was enough but it would be a bad move right now. Even with her appearance and personality she got a nickname The Judge. Mainly cause she doesn't tolerate any evil or disobedience be it a small one like drinking while she told me not to or a big one which we pulled this night.

'Frost, you do know you don't have to follow your past don't you' she wasn't angry anymore her red nose turned it's normal hue and her eyes filled with sympathy.

I had started this badit way of life a few months ago, after i had known Ember long enough to be cuddling with her. Before that I had never stolen a thing during my 17 years of bitter life , that is this one.
