Chapter 3 (part two)
Treasure
Two days later, they knew of her existence inside of the inner Hydra Clan area, but they could never find her. They were so frustrated for the loss of lives and loss of alcohol, that they were going red with anger!
They couldn’t believe that such a small, little girl, could cause so much trouble! They weren’t even able to get over the fact that their capture method was totally ruined now, because the father had died. Then, they found out that people were dying in separate places from within the inner Hydra Clan as well! Ever since this girl had gone missing, there has been nothing but trouble!
Anonym hadn"t hesitated to kill anyone who was seen and obviously had continued to drink slowly, all this time.
It had become annoying to walk backwards and forwards and had welcomed a bigger leather flask, that would hold more!
She thought that one she got it off, must have been a real alcoholic bludger!
Falling asleep that night, she was holding this flask with a small smile on her little, sleeping face...
While ransacking through the Hydra Clans belongings, Anonym found quite a few things that she wanted to keep for herself. Now that three days had pa.s.sed, her bountiful treasure was starting to really pile up and become an obvious place they could catch her.
Sighing, Anonym stacked what she could on herself and abandoned searching for the book...She had too much stuff already!
Finding out a day ago, about carts that they use to make it easier to carry items from one place to another, she secretly put her treasures on there and followed behind the person that was travelling out of the inner Hydra Clan. Since being reincarnated this time, this person had become her very first slave!
Seeing that the guards had locked the doors, because of her, she wondered what she should do...It would be normal for them to expect the goods and make sure that she wasn"t around, otherwise how could they tolerate losing the invisible girl to their leader!
Also, she would obviously loss all her treasure! On that thought, it occupied her mind more so then that of them being able to capture her.
Anonym saw that they weren"t relenting to let the person out, so she dashed out and killed them both, then turned towards her first slave, carting her goods...Should I continue to use him?
But, she regretted not killing them, as they ran off shouting out that she was there. Grunting her bad feelings towards her first slave, she picked up the keys to the lock, and unlocked it herself. She couldn"t wait to get another servant to do all this tiring work for her!
Carting the goods by herself, she left, leaving the bodies laying on the ground. She didn"t care that it was so directly obvious on how she had escaped. She was planning to come back again soon anyway, so they could try and catch her again then!
The inner part of the Hydra Clan could now be considered somewhat of a playground now to this little runt!
When she turned the corner to go outside, she saw that it was a relatively populated place. A cart being pulled by itself would be a big give away right?
…
Anonym hadn"t moved for a full minute, and in that minute, people had already started to come to chase her, there wasn"t any time! But...Her treasure! No way was she going to leave it there!
Seeing a big bound of fur, that was at a close by shop, Anonym smiled, thinking of an idea.
She quickly grabbed it, threw her treasures into it and then pulled it to the side, to be placed against the wall.
And the cart stayed there, just outside the door, looking totally out of place!
Sitting down with her treasures, she decided to wait until the soldiers ran off, looking for her in different directions. Haha, I"m right here fools!
Light sn.i.g.g.e.ring coming from a place near a wall wasn"t heard, as they started to frantically search for the little invisible runt!
It was another hour before she left, pulling the fur rug around the wall, to go outside of the Hydra Clan. It was quite a heavy load! Anonym stopped twice before she finally was on her way towards her little hideout with all her treasure!
What she found, when she came to her secret hideout, was a bad sight indeed. Frowning in displeasure, she continued to drag the fur rug towards her spot.
There was an intruder, and he was reading her book! How could he have seen it!?
Then there were other treasures of hers that had been dragged to another corner, becoming another kind of stash. What was going on in her spot!?
Releasing her new lot of treasure, she got out her dagger, as she crept closer to the intruders.
It used to be a dense mossy, vine place, surrounding a dirt hole. It had leaves around the entrance, which had hidden the small cave below. It really was a nice little hiding spot!
But now, the opening was huge and dirt had been put everywhere! It was not even a hiding spot anymore, just a wide area that could be seen in all directions! What the h.e.l.l!
Her anger, was boiling! She was...Not happy!
Seeing the state of her spot, she decided to investigate the intruders a bit. She watched, with eyes like a hawk, very much unhappy that her belongings were being touched!

"Mmm, Presley, now I know where invisibility originated from."
There was silence replying to the voice. It was quite unusual, so Switch looked up at his best friend, "It isn"t your treasure. Someone is bound to come back for this."
Presley huffed, moving his claw, full of treasure, closer to him, then eyeing the rest near Switch. "No one is here now, let me take it!"
Switch sighed, staying quite expressionless, "I"ll make treasure for you, now put it back!"
"No!" Presley was a proud dragon! Why would he give up treasure!
Switch turned the next page of the book that he was reading, "I won"t feed you."
Wide, yellow dragon eyes stared at Switch, how could he not feed him! His tasty food was all thanks to Switch! But...But, these treasures! This poor little dragon was absolutely torn!
Actually, this dragon wasn"t very "little", he was just young. He would still easily carry three people on his back and be able to fly. But he was still quite a young, little dragon.
Switch had taken his cave, sleeping in it one day. Presley had tried to scare him, which hadn"t worked, then tried to hurt him...Which hadn"t worked either, because he himself had gotten hurt instead!
After Switch had woken up, he had thanked Presley for the use of his cave, by giving him many delicious foods!
With a click of his fingers, Switch could make a table appear and food on it that was recently cooked and steaming hot. If the food had disappeared and Presley was still hungry, more clicks would happen until he was full.
But, also with a click of his fingers, Switch had made his treasure disappear inside of his cave. Presley hadn"t wanted Switch to leave him there, since he had tasted all that lovely food, but he didn"t want to leave his treasures behind.
To the missing treasures, Switch had made them disappear so that he would no longer have to "leave" them behind, causing his troubles to be solved. Naturally, a dragon would get pretty upset with their treasure being taken from them…But Switch had already left the cave without him!
Unable to think of any other way, Presley had followed Switch, leaving his cave for the very first time, and grew accustomed to his ways. It was really a handful at the beginning, as he was still mad at Switch because of his treasure. But over the s.p.a.ce of just a few weeks, they had become quite good friends. He was always feed until full and Switch had protected him from being harmed by others. Well, those were the days before Switch made him invisible. But, this stupid dragon would always try and make friends with people and want to fly them around! Switch, on the other hand, would rather stay away from them...And...He was afraid of heights...
Of course, Presley, till this day, laughs every time he thinks about it!
In the years that they have spent together, they had gone through thick and thin, making their already unique relationship, even more special.
"How long are we staying here?" Presley asked, still a little mad about Switch wanting him to give up this treasure. Not caring about how good or what kind of treasure it was, to him it was still treasure! And he had made no move yet to relinquish what he had stolen.
"As long as I have bordered my horizons. The only flaw I have is through not thinking of such things, here will give me more ideas for any future events." Switch said.
Presley sighed and was just about to ask another question, when he could hear a small child"s voice.
"That"s. My. Treachah!"
Already, Presley got up and wanted to fight! As long as it was in his sight it would be hard to let it go! "I want it!"
Anonym had drunk too much, she hadn"t wanted to come in previously, because of the mythic dragon that she had never seen before. But, her senses lacked since becoming drunk and she walked straight in, through wanting her stuff back!
"It"s just a little girl, Presley." Switch said, still sitting, with the book in front of him.
"You too!" Anonym pointed at Switch and hiccupped, "Givit back!"
Raising his eyebrows, Switch closed the book and put it on the ground.
Anonym could see that he saw her...It had taken her this long to figure it out, but now that she knew, she lost her vigour, "Ya both can see me?"
Switch just nodded, "Mmm."
"Oh."
Silence filled the air.
Switch narrowed his eyes at this little girl and saw a light within her. Widening his eyes, he couldn"t believe it, he"d found another like himself. This tiny little girl contained power that could be grown to become even more powerful!
"Ah, what ya lookin at! You like this lil girl?" Anonym laughed.
The silence broken now, Presley walked up closer to the girl.
"Can I have your treasure?"
Anonym was stupefied, really? Someone was asking for my treasure? Do they think I"d give it to them?
She really wanted to mock this dragon, but simply stated, "Not. On. My. Life!"
She"d worked hard for this! No way!
Presley sulked and looked at Switch, "Make me treasure and I"ll return it to her."
"Return it first." Was all he said.
"You"re such a mean, mean person Switch! I want the treasure first! Please, please!"
While he was talking to Switch, Anonym gathered the treasure that the dragon had called his and put it with her other treasure, near Switch.
"Hey!" Presley shouted, "That"s mine!"
"Nah it"s not!"
Switch frowned, "Kids, that"s enough!"
They both shut up and looked at Switch, one was a look of winner and the other of a loser.
Anonym smirked and took another gulp of her freedom elixir.
Switch took the flask off her and took a swig himself, then frowned, "This is alcohol. Not good for little kids."
With a click, it vanished.
A sound escaped from Anonym"s wide mouth...My...Freedom elixir...How dare he!?
