Chapter 2: Act 2

We go into the castle and there we find a knight keeping guard. It is night and no normal person was awake. The only ones awake at this time were the people dancing in debauchery and dabbling in immoralities. But on this certain night much more than the normal happenstances were going on. A thief, trained her whole life in the art of stealing, is on a roof of a certain building. She was trying to calm her breathing. She tries to remember why she is doing this and starts calming down. She did not want to go into prostitution and this was her only choice. She envied the rich and aristocratic women who had more choices than her in life. Her plan was to get rich and then stop stealing. She could hear the laughter of drunk men catcalling to ladies. She could remember the groans and moans coming out of the whorehouses as she passes by them on her way home and steels her nerves. She would not be reduced to becoming a man's object and plaything. She looks down and sees the windowsill that she is trying to get down to. She was on top of a 3-story house so if she falls it would mean her doom. This did not scare faze her anymore and she continues on with her plan. She ties a rope to the chimney and lowers her body to the windowsill. When her toes touch the sill she starts inching the rest of her body down until she is in a crouching position. The window was left open and this unnerves her. No, rich man in their right mind would leave the window open. She considers the choices she has and decides to go through with it. She crawls through the window slowly and quietly gets in.
