Finding a way into tricky situations has never been a problem for me - although i still haven’t learned the art of getting out of them. So now i was sitting in a cell in the castle dungeon and awaiting someone to bring me before their royal snobiness’s. I suppose getting caught was always a risk for me, i’m not exactly subtle. But i’ve usually been able to buy or force my way out. Still, I’ve been arrrested my fair share of times, i would almost think i would _finally_ become friends with my victims, but they were devoid of _any_ sense of humor.

I _was_ a little ahead of myself here if i’m being honest. You see, i was trying to break into the upper floors of the castle, not land myself in the lower ones. I was here to steal a jewel one of the wealthy merchants wife’s wanted. I don’t know why she was dumb enough to think she would even be able to wear it without getting herself into trouble, but she payed well, and i don’t ask questions to stupid rich people who’ll pay me any insane amounts to add a litle adventure into my life. I mean, i’m sure if they knew i thought of it that way, they would think twice. But then again, they weren’t really the type to think.

So i was sitting in a dungeon awaiting trial because apparently for the past few days the queen had noticed something (me, scouting the area) through her window and had placed some guards near it.

What they don’t tell you about jail by the way, is how _boring _it_ _is. I mean, i had been sitting here for almost 3 WHOLE hours. My darling rulers had never made me wait this long! Perhaps they were angry with me. I see how it is, i was getting the silent treatment! And it simply would not stand. I didn’t think i would be waiting much longer though, so i sat and attempted to entertain myself.

_Finally _i heard the door open, and the guard smiled at me. She was spinning the keys around and around in her hand as if to mock me.

“Ready to get out of here?”

“You have absolutely no idea.”

She smiled even wider and said, “you’ll have to tell me the story later. Getting caught stealing from the queen? I’m very impressed.”

Then again, maybe i wasn’t so bad at getting out of tricky situations after all.
