In The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

[Bruce Smith/King Of Thieves]

The King of Thief's moved threw the castle getting in had not been hard, getting out might be more so with his way of getting in was not where a guard was he moved with stealth keeping quite & to the shadows to keep from being seen & found, his steeps where quite like an assassin even if he was not classed as one. He had found a few things that would be worth selling to help those that needed it as well himself. He had moved back into the shadows a few times flattening into the wall as much as he could as some guards passed at times. He remained alert for what was around him, yet his main things was looking for a safe way out, that he could get out with out being found out before then even if it would not be a simple feet, he thought he had found away out as he moved close for the area to see if it would give him what he was looking for.

Regina smirked amused as she watched the man walk through the castle through her mirror. She paused noticing a resemblance to her huntsman. The man appeared too old to be his brother. Perhaps he was a father or uncle. The huntsman raised by wolves having family out there he didn't know. Well if he was a relative or not he broke into her castle to steal something no doubt. Or perhaps try to kill her. Either way it was a foolish mistake and it would be his last. She vanished in a puff of purple smoke reappearing near the thief. She wasn't sure who he was but he'd eluded her guards. So that meant he was skilled. Perhaps she could acquire his services like she had for her huntsman and Eric. A man like that could be useful to her. Maybe she shouldn't kill him. If he refused well she could always take his heart like she had others and force him to work for her. Although she'd have to stop him first. She paused waving her hand as swords came flying off the walls and towards the man. She was attempting to pin him to the wall. But if he dodged those well she could find another way to stop him.

He moved with ease threw the halls avoiding issues at least until he heard & then saw the swords coming at him he was able to avid some of them yet he found one count threw part of his shoulder & some into his flesh he hissed form the pain as he moved to grab his arm only to find his one arm was pinned to the wall with the sword with his shirt. He took some time yet was able to get lose ripping his shirt to get lose of course he had to tend to his arm so he did not leave a full trail of where he went. He was able to get his arm taken care of yet he knew that he would not be able to get out as well as before. He started to move again, working to keep out of sight yet it was getting hard for he was still losing blood & with it he was slowly losing his focus along with his vision. At one point he pushed into a room he thought would be out of the way, seeing no one in the room he slipped into the room closing the door, before he started to move again, he was starting to stager now in his walk, soon after he could not stand as he sunk to the ground & shortly after his eye closed.

Regina watched as the man was hurt and briefly pinned but he escaped. He was trying to get away. She watched in her mirrors as she passed. The Magic Mirror showing her where she was as she kept a mirror in her hand to keep close eyes on him as he kept trying to stay out of sight. She wasn't sure if he knew she was targeting him yet but he would soon enough. She paused seeing he was getting weaker before he closed a door and sunk to the ground before passing out. This was going to be simpler than she thought. She vanished in a puff of smoke reappearing in the room he was in.

"Something about him seems familiar."said Regina.

The Magic Mirror appeared in her hand mirror.

"That's because he's the King of Thieves. There's a reward out for him." said the Magic Mirror.

"The King of Thieves. How intriuging. Well perhaps it's time for this king to meet the evil queen."said Regina.

She paused glancing down at him. She blew some powder in his face to make sure he stayed asleep not wanting him to wake up too soon. then summoned her guards who grabbed Bruce and searched him. They took away the things he'd stolen returning them to their proper places.

"Put him in chains and treat his injuries. I don't want him dying not yet. He may prove useful to me. When you're done bring him to the throne room. I wish to talk with him." said Regina.

She then walked off heading to the throne room.

- Time Skip-

The guards bring in Bruce who is still asleep. She knew he's wake up soon. For now they restrained him to a chair so he wouldn't try to escape. His arm had been treated and would heal in a few days. He had lost some blood so he might be woozy upon waking up. That's why she had some food and water prepared in case he was hungry. Of course that was if he chose to take the food from her. She turned to the guards.

"Leave us. You can wait outside." said Regina.

The guards nodded walking out closing the doors behind them as she turned to her prisoner.

"Now it's time to wake up." said Regina.

She pulled out a potion and blew some more dust into Bruce as he began to stir. She wanted to know if he was acting alone. Or if someone like Snow White or Rumplestiltskin had sent him here.

(ooc: if this is too godmoddy I can edit. He was passed out and don't think she'd kill him. at least not yet. xd)

(OOC: That is fine, thread is good)

As Bruce woke he knew one thing he was in a different room than the one he was in last & more so he was chained & in a chair he was quick to try to see if their was away to get loose yet it was clear it would not be so simple, if he had time he might yet it was clear he might not have it as he saw Regina. He said nothing, he did not think it was besides was it was to say anything to one you where sealing form? Not likely he knew that she would speak soon or he would learn what she had planned for him, yet he also knew that he had to be mindful on what he said for he did not wish his son in any danger. He had to be willing to die for that & he knew that saying it & dealing with one like Regina could push to see how fair he was willing to go before he would die or she would allow him to do so.

Regina watched him as he woke up. He was silent. He was probably trying to think of a way out.

"You are pretty brave to steal from me. But foolish. Did you not know of of my magic? I've killed people for less than stealing from me. But you intrigue me all the same. You remind me of my huntsman. The only reason you're not dead is because you may prove useful to me. I want to know if anyone sent you here or if you acted alone." said Regina.

She smirked at him.

"Of course if you refuse to tell me I could always make you tell me." said Regina.

[Bruce Smith/King Of Thieves]

Bruce heard her words, he was so determened to keep himself silent even if he did not know of her having magic he had heard storys of what one could do to one to make them tell one anything they wished & he would see that as a faite worse than death. He thought perhaps he could get away if he gave her some answers to her questions. "I acted alone, i am not one that is use to working with others & cannot say I would of found anyone to come with me any how" For now he knew that is what he could start with for after all it was really the only answer he could give, with out it being a simple he did not know or more he heard the rumors yet choose not to listen to them.

Regina paused listening to him as he spoke.

"I see. You are the King of Thieves correct? With your reputation you did quiet well. I'm certain everyone is aware of my powers or at least my reputation. Now the question is did you come to steal from me? Or were you planning to kill me." said Regina.

She paused with a smirk.

"I suppose I'll need to punish him for failing me. Some time in the dungeon for a few days should do it. My guards will enjoy making him learn his lesson." said Regina.

She wasn't sure if he'd react or not but she was curious just the same.

"You know you do remind me of him. Is he your little brother or cousin? Or maybe even a long lost son. He told me was raised by wolves. I wonder how he'd react to having a living relative. Perhaps I'll have him brought here and see if he notices it as well." said Regina.

She stopped and grinned as she looked at the man curiuosly.

""I could a man like you working for me. Another warrior to add to my personal guard. You could still do your stealing thing. Just not from my castle." said Regina.
