About Alexandra A. Cheshire
Once A Thief
Wind Valley, July-10
Of the four seated around the table in the large, elegantly decorated dining room, only the three men are actually eating. The woman is sipping her rapidly cooling tea without touching the contents of her plate. The only sounds are of cutlery on dishes. Or at least until one of the men speaks.
Did she take anything?
A second man glances up at the speaker, Her blade.
She'll be okay then.
The first man nods to himself.
You really think so?
The woman frowns, clearly concerned.
She needs some time and space...
The second man takes a deep breath, Honestly, so do I.
Meaning?
The woman continues to frown.
Will and I leave for Belstrand tomorrow. We'll be back when we're ready.
You'll look for her then?
The first man guesses.
Long as I'm still able to track her down.
And if you can't for some reason?
The woman demands.
The first man shakes his head, She won't be hard to find when she's needed.

Settlement City, November-61
The wind blows scraps of garbage along the alley. Several people huddle down in ragged blankets and other scrap cloth. All of them shiver except for one petite form.
The figure is female, seemingly in her teens, with long, matted, blonde hair and eyes like the cold wind. She is wearing a loose, ragged t-shirt and ancient dark jeans. Her arms, feet, and head are bare. She crouches down against a brick wall, not seeming to see anything around her.
A ragged small child comes running into the alley and launches herself at one of the shivering heaps of blankets. Fabric wrapped arms emerge to pull the child inside the blankets. Moments later, giggling can be heard. Most of the cold faces around them break into smiles.
