CHAPTER  4

 

The sun was silently setting under rooftops of the Central Town, every ray of sunshine quitly creeping out of the windows, streets, nooks and corners.  Everythong was preparing for a silent night. After the sun ahs sat, a pair of eyes watched over the Wall of the Heart Palace.  They analysed the garden.  The best looting place was, of course, the Treasury, but the route was fully lit.  Luckily, there were darker parts of the garden. The eyes dissapiaered and moments later they were in a darker part of the garden.  They analysed the surroundings one last time and then James flung himself over the wall.

Up in her tower, Heara was at her window, a streak of hair in her mouth. She was heavily thinking. The two following days would be her last moments of freedom. Maybe she should go shopping once, she knew Caro wouldn’t resist. Suddently, she noticed a shadow in the garden. Why was everyone sneaking around there? But it didn’t look like any of her friends.  It almost looked like… a boy.

Her heart began to raise. She had never been allowed to meet boys, since she had been enganged since her birth. But this was different.  What would a boy be doing around here?

 

She immediately pulled out her rope. This was an emergency.

 

Once outside on the ground, her heart still racing, she began to race herself.  She had always been Speedy, but this boy seemed to have rabbit feet.  The cold night air was blowing in her face and letting her hair fly out behind her.  Suddently, the boy stopped.  He pulled something out of his bag and started poking around the back door of… the Treasury.  He was a thief.

 

But maybe there is still hope, she thought.  Maybe he didn’t  come here just to….

She had to try.  She gota ll her courage together.

 

“What are you doing?”
