Snippet #1894595

Lynx stooped to grab the purse as the two figures darted away. She opened it up a growled. It wasn’t her purse. The purse she was looking for had a few gold coins, a vial containing red plant dye, a jewel she’d stolen from a nobleman, and most importantly a sheet containing all of the information about the person she was currently pretending to be. The real Ainsly Rennan had died of flu several months ago. Lynx growled as she shifted through the purse she’d been given. It was full of nothing more than imitator’s gold and pebbles.

Lynx climbed up the roof of a nearby house until she was at the highest point possible. Grinning she unhooked her ropes from around her belt. If that guy thought he could escape by rooftop he was sorely mistaken. She slowly began to twirl the rope through the air until it had enough momentum. She threw the rope and it hooked onto the chimney of house far ahead of her.

Lynx leaped off the building, one arm holding onto the rope and her other arm already twirling a second rope. As she reached the top of her arc she threw the second rope and unhooked the first one. Quickly reining in the first rope she threw it as she reached the top of her second arc and reigned in the second rope. Soon she picked up speed and was flying from roof to roof on the ropes as she searched for the man who’d tricked her.

After some time her muscles were aching and she’d yet to see sign of the guy she was chasing. She gritted her teeth, of course she would pick the one person who was faster on rooftop then her to get robbed by. She had almost given up when she saw them out of the corner of her eye. He moved quickly, if she hadn’t bee concentrating on searching she wouldn’t have found them.

Lynx moved fast until she was close enough to see the man with the girl on his back moving over the rooftops. When she was close enough she stopped and hung on one rope. Reaching out she threw the second rope to try and wrap it around the mans legs and trip him.
