Prologue
POV Elsa
I watch at the news where local reporter is standing outside of a museum. Her name is Jane Porter, a girl who wears beige and holds her brown hair on knot always.
"Helicopters are still searching the area. There is still no sign of the Snowflake Burglar. This time he managed to steal a ruby necklace from museum. Any clues you might have about his whereabouts are kindly welcomed by the police. The necklace was call--."
I pressed the button of the remote control to shut down the television. "Ah! Elsa! I was watching that," Anna groaned with her mouth full of popcorn. "We were supposed to watch a movie!" I rolled my eyes at her. First day and we were already in the crossroad.
"My home, my rules!" She grabbed the remote control from me and showed her tongue. She giggled and opened the television again. I sighed and leaned my head on my hand because I had to watch it again. I see how her boyfriend Kristoff places his arm around Anna, on her shoulder. I pout to the sight, well actually it is my fault since I had to move to live with them.
Anna gasped suddenly and pointed at the television, "Look! There he is!" Anna had been living on Burgess for quite a while now and she was one of the people who admired the thief who media had taken as their pet, giving him a nickname 'Snowflake Burglar'. Even Kristoff was amazed by him. My first day and I have to be watching their fan actions.
"That is so awesome Elsa, look!" Anna turned my head so I had to watch it. I saw a guy, over twenty years from the looks of it. He was running on a rooftop, holding a small bag on his shoulder. The cameras zoomed on him when news helicopter flew above him. His hair seemed messy and overlong, somehow even ruffled. His hair seemed to be white which was rather interesting, he had even more pale skin tone than I had. Now I watched how a sly smirk formed on his face and his piercing blue eyes were looking directly at the camera. "Did he just give you guys chills?" Anna gulped and it was like she had read my mind. Even Kristoff was nodding. Something about those cyan blue eyes caused an odd reaction that ran through your spine.
Anna squealed, "Now the show begins!" Snowflake Burglar gave an overdone bow to the police who were aiming directly at him down on the ground while he was standing up on the fire escape ladders of apartment house. The camera zoomed more into him, "Here you can see Snowflake Burglar in action, will he be stopped this time?" Jane Porter commented.
The interesting part was when he suddenly touched his other ear and seemed to listen. Then he bursted into laughter. Does he have an earplug? Is someone speaking to him? Anna and Kristoff didn't seem to notice. "W-what is he doing?" I whispered when he backed up on the fire escape. He run forward and jumped. He landed on top of police cars and ran forward, going side to side. Then I knew why he ran like that, the police opened fire and suddenly the screen went black for a moment.
"I hope that they didn't hit him," Anna said staring at the television and slowly eating a piece of popcorn. Her strawberry blond hair was on loose ponytail, hairs sticking everywhere. It was my move in day so my stuff was all around and it took a toll from all of us.
Suddenly Jane Porter appeared on the screen, "As you can see we faced some technical difficulties." Kristoff hummed, "More likely didn't want us to see the police shooting at him." Anna nodded and I sighed. "However the Snowflake Burglar got away again this time. Will the police forces of Burgess catch him eventually? When he will strike again? Answers you can find out from us, your local television," Jane Porter said and the broadcast ended.
I sat on the couch and my hand went to popcorn bowl, "Anna, you ate it all!" I laughed and she peeked on the bowl. "Sorry! I will go to make some more before we watch the movie!" She smiled and went to kitchen.
"I will be back, I will go to bathroom," I told to Kristoff who was left to sit alone. He turned on to sports channel. On my way to bathroom I saw pictures on Anna's desk. There were our parents. They died in accident years ago, I had just turned 17 years old and Anna was 14 back then. Five years has passed since then and I had to do all I could to keep her safe. And with all I mean everything.
Beep. Beep.
I take out my phone and open the message that just came. It was from my boyfriend, at least sort of. "Come now," I read it aloud. Man of simple words.
"Hey, I need to go!" I yelled to Kristofff and Anna from front door. "No movie?" Anna groaned. "Sorry, I can't!" I yelled to her and then I went outside. "Oh, hi Merida!" I smiled to Anna's redhead friend Merida who had just arrived.
I ran towards storage facility area and when I reached it I saw familiar face. "Hi Punzie!" I smiled to Rapunzel who waved her hand to me and nodded towards the inside of the warehouse. I inhaled deeply before entering. I took out my best acting skills when I walked inside.
"Hi sweetie," I said to my boyfriend who sat on his motorcycle. His hand wrapped around my wrist and he pulled me against his chest. "Give me some some of those lips," he laughed blankly and forced me into kiss. His hands rubbed my back and I felt sick. They went lower and lower and lower. I slapped his face.
He stood up and pushed me down, "You should know who you're dealing with. It should be an honor to be my girl." He glared at me. "S-sorry Pitch, I mean dear," I whispered. He slapped my face and I felt the heat after the blow.
Oh, how I wish that I would have chosen differently back then. Not the fact that I wanted to take care of Anna somehow but the fact that I took out a huge loan from Pitch Black, my boyfriend. Back then he wasn't my boyfriend but last year I got a raise from his normal follower to be his girl. I had to be his since I am in huge debt to him but I also have to work for him. I am part of the Nightmares, a criminal gang. Punzie and I are different from the others in here, we were forced into this.
But when I think of it through, I am actually good at being a criminal.
POV Jack
"Whoa that went well!" I laugh and look at the bag which holds the fruit of my heist. I wave the ruby necklace in front of my friends nose and he pushes my hand away. "Listen to me Jack," he sighs. I lay down on the sofa and tell him to continue.
I watch at Hiccup who seems a bit frustrated right now, I chuckle when he paces around our secret hideout. "Well, Jack, you really shouldn't risk it like that. Why can't you be like other thieves who don't show themselves to everyone and actually try to keep their robberies as a secret," Hiccup waves his hands all over the place when he is speaking. "You barely dodged the bullets this time," he crosses his arms and gives me an angry stare.
Now I couldn't keep it in any longer. "Chill out, Hiccs!" I laughed. "What would be fun in that?" I grin to him and he does a facepalm. I feel how something jumps to my lap and I look down, "Oh hi Toothless!" I smile and pet Hiccups black cat. "Don't try to change the subject!" Hiccup looks at his cat, "Off you go buddy." He nods to his right and Toothless stretches himself before jumping down. I swear that the cat just frowned to Hiccup.
I cock my eyebrow to Hiccup who still is freaking out, "Alright, I promise to be more careful next time." Hiccup sighs from relief, "Cool." I take out my spray can from my waist belt, "Hey. I need some new white spray paint, I almost didn't have enough to finish the snowflake I did." I throw the can to Hiccup who barely catches it.
"By the way," Hiccup grins to me. "You really need a shower dude!" He laughs and I smell my clothes. "Yuck! Well it isn't my fault that you guided me through sewer network! Huh!" I jump up and make my way to bathroom. "Be glad that I was there guiding you! You were in tight place between a wall and policemen. There was no other option than the entry to sewers on the ground," his voice sounded so cheerful that I could have sworn that he enjoyed it.
After undressing myself from the black pants and grey long sleeved shirt that I use on my gigs I took a shower. The cool water felt nice after doing the heist, Hiccup plans our crimes but I put them in the action. Before leaving the bathroom I dressed myself into my normal wear, blue hoodie and brown short pants.
"See you later Hiccs!" I yelled at the door. Then I heard how he cleared his throat, "Did you forget something?" I turn around, "Like what?"
Hiccup nodded towards the mirror and I went to look at my reflection. I saw how white haired and blue eyed me was staring back at me. "Oh," I said and ran back to bathroom. I opened the cabinet and took out contact lenses and hair dye. Soon my eyes were brown and hair also.
"Better?" I grinned and walked back to front door, spinning around and spreading my arms. "Show off," Hiccup laughed and closed the door behind of me. I sighed and looked towards the moon, stuffing my hands to my hoodie's pockets.
This time I walked back to home. The gates opened to our garden and a security guard greeted me. After entering the mansion I heard the nicest voice in the world, "Jack!" It was Emma, my little sister.
I chuckled and walked fast to her, I kneeled down and gave her a big hug. "I missed you, where were you tonight?" Her hands were touching my face and I let her know that I was smiling, letting my mouth form the widest smile in the whole world. "You're happy it seems," she smiles.
"Yeah, I am happy because I am here with you again!" I laughed and stood up. I went back to her and grabbed a hold from her wheelchairs handles, I pushed her in her chair around the entry hall. We were laughing.
After we stopped our spinning she seemed to be in her thoughts. "What's wrong Ems?" I kneeled in front of her. "I wish mum and dad would be here," she whispered. Yeah, it has been five years since the accident when Emma got paralyzed down from her waist and blind, mum and dad didn't make it. I was having a blast with my friends back then, I decided not to go on that flight. I feel guilty every day.
