Story

It was a crisp and cool night. The air was deadly calm and the ground was covered in fog. It was the perfect condition for his plan to be put into action. He landed softly on the ground below, and then ran along the inside of the wall, undetected.

He had been planning this for months. This would be his most dangerous heist yet, but it would be worth it in the end. His target was inside the castle owned by one of the most powerful lords in the demon world. How it came into his possession, he did not know, but one thing was for certain, it was going to be his soon enough. But he had to be careful, one mistake and he'd surely be killed. His body started to heat up, feeling the thrill and excitement from such a dangerous job.

He paused, and waited within the shadows for the right moment. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes, to the lookout tower. Should be about time for them to switch- Now!

He dashed along the small field, going towards the castle. He jumped up, and landed onto a windowsill, just as the ground patrol walked passed. After the guard went by he looked up, locking onto his next target, a window several stories up. A dim light, no doubt from a candle, was flowing out of the window. He smirked. Just like he planned.

He gracefully jumped from one window ledge to the next, before landing softly on his target. He reached into his hair and pulled out a seed. It quickly sprouted into a thin vine, and snaked its way through the crack in the casement window. He smirked when he heard a small click, signaling it was unlocked. He gently pushed the window open, and then made his entrance.

He landed silently onto the wooden floor, inside the large room. He glanced around. Immediately his focus was centered unto the bed- More precisely, the person who was lying on it.

It was a woman. She was very attractive, even for his high standers. She had black hair and fair skin. He knew who she was, and had seen her many times, but he had never been this close to her, nor had he witnessed such a peaceful look upon her face. She was asleep, and he wanted to keep it that way.

When he noticed his target was not on her person, he quickly bypassed the woman, and glanced across the rest of the room. Seeing a pink jewel, resting on top of a dresser on the other side of the room, he smirked. This was too easy…

He started to calmly stroll over to the dresser, his eyes glued unto the necklace. He wasn't expecting it to be this simple. He had it planned up to this point, but he did not know what was going to happen, once he entered the room. The suspense kept him on edge, and made a chill of pleasure go down his spine. Yet he was only greeted by this? Don't get him wrong, he was glad she was asleep; if she was awake he would probably have been killed. He knew his limits, and the woman far surpassed him in strength.

Her powers are unknown, even to him. All he knew was that she could turn any demon into ash with just a touch. That kind of power was unheard of. He hadn't believed it until he witnessed it with his own eyes, while he was observing their security for all those months.

But soon his prize will be within his grasp and he could leave, alive. Though he was hoping for a small challenge- His ears perked up, hearing a small nose behind him. He quickly turned around, only to curse inside his head. The bed was empty- It was a trap! He moved his body back towards his goal, bent on quickly stealing it and taking off. He sighed when he was met with a sword gently jabbing his chest, halting his movements. It seemed he had been caught…

"What have we here?" She questioned, smirking. She moved her katana, and softly placed the tip underneath his chin, forcing him to tilt his head up. "A sly fox who has ventured a little to far from his den, hmm?"

"Yes. It seems I have gotten lost." He smirked, looking down at her. She found his reply rather amusing, and gave a small laugh.

"Sure you weren't after this?" She held up her other hand, the jewel dangling from the thin chain entangled within her fingers.

"I wouldn't dream of it." He defended himself.

"Oh?" She questioned. "Then I am mistaken when I recall you have been watching us this whole time, just outside our borders?" He froze when he heard her words. She knew? Though he was surprised, he did not show it and kept his cool.

"You must be."

"Oh really?" She sounded even more amused then before. "Well, I am sorry I have misjudged you." She lowered her weapon, and he stood there, slightly confused by her actions. "Well then fox, I'm sure you know your way out." She pulled the jewel over her head, and it rested softly below her collar bone. She was letting him go? "Hopefully you won't get lost on you way there as well?" She gave a small laugh.

He could only smirk as he watched her walk passed him, going to her bed. The smell of vanilla wafted into his nose and he sighed. A lovely sent. To bad it was attached to the one thing standing between him and his prize. Then again, this was the kind of challenge he was looking for. He stepped in front of her, making her stop in her tracks. She looked at him questioningly. He gently reached out and placed his fingers underneath her chin, tilting her head up like she did to him.

"I'll be back." He warned her.

"I'll be waiting." She smirked, and he flinched slightly.

He slowly pulled his hand away, placing his fingers up to his lips. He licked the burnt tips, and then gave her a smirk of his own.
