Not likin' Avaleur so far...

[Deleted]

Grayson grinned. "Not half bad. Alright, maybe ya ain't useless. We're gonna do some pick pocketin', I guess ya could say. You gotta hide in that tree, and when I give ya the signal, you jump on the guy, I take his wallet and we book it. This'll get us some money so we can actually do somethin' fun."

[Deleted]

She knew it was wrong, but when she was living on the street, she always found doing this to be exhilarating. She grinned and nodded, and began climbing the tree. She reached a pretty high tree faster than normal people would, and sat there looking down at Grayson, a smug look on her face.

[Deleted]

Grayson gave her a smirk and a thumbs up. He starting talking to a guy. A rather large lanky thug type man. He seemed to be familiar with him. Grayson looked up at Alice and yelled "NOW!"

[Deleted]

Alice leaped from the tree and onto the man's back, covering his eyes as Grayson took his wallet.

I can't believe I'm actually doing this right now! Papa would be so disappointed in me!!

[Deleted]

Grayson quickly stole the wallet. He'd done it before so it was no struggle. He grabbed Alice by the collar and ran as quick as he could. The man had fallen over but he'd be up again in no time.

[Deleted]

Alice ran as fast as she could next to Grayson. They ran and ran. She had no idea where they were going, but she sure hoped Grayson did!

[Deleted]

Once they got back to the travelers path, Grayson panted a bit as he opened the wallet. "Just a coupla hundreds. Nothin' special.

[Deleted]

Alice's eyes widened at this. "Just a few hundred?!" She exclaimed.

I should have Grayson with me when I was living on the streets! She thought. Then, once again, her thoughts went to Phillis, and she immediately felt guilty for this.

"So, um, i-is that all we'll be doing? Or did you have something else planned?"

[Deleted]

"Naw, we're gonna do more. That don't prove that your no chickin."

[Deleted]

"O-oh, ok.. What else do you have planned?"

[Deleted]

"We're gonna sneak into the pub so we can meet us wit some people." Grayson explained. "Here's your cut." he said, handing her some money.

[Deleted]

She took the money and said in a questioning voice, "... They let kids OUR age into the pub? That... Seems a little odd to me.."

[Deleted]

"I just said we're sneakin' in, smart one." Grayson rolled his eyes.

[Deleted]

Alice blushed at her mistake. "Well... How?"

[Deleted]

"I know a guy." Grayson simply answered.

[Deleted]

Alice briefly wondered what kind of people Grayson associated with, but thought it better not to ask and instead followed him.

[Deleted]

Grayson and Alices walk took only a few minutes, but the dark sky and creepy streets made it seem much longer.

When they arrived to the pub, he took her around to the back, entering through a creepy, cob-web covered door. He took out a key, and opened the door, letting her go in first.

[Deleted]

Alice hesitantly stepped through the door. Once inside, she turned to Grayson and said, "So what are we going to do in here anyways? I'm not drinking, that's for sure!"

[Deleted]

Grayson scoffed, and once again began making chicken noises at Alice.

[Deleted]

Alice crossed her arms and glared defiantly at Grayson. "I'm six years old. I will not drink. I'll meet up with these friends of yours but that's all."
