Miriam stopped on the stairs and turned abruptly to the girl, eyes dark with anger and hands clenched, "I don't want to be taken under your wing! I want to be free to do what I wish, when I wish. I may die but it's just a body, nothing can kill my ideals, my beliefs, or my legacy I leave behind. Now 'cuse me, I have business I must attend to."
She turned and walked away, eyes still dark with anger, when she got downstairs, she took out some money and gave it to the woman standing there. Then she slippe dout into the crowd, hoping the annoying girl would not follow. She wasn't like other thieves, getting money for profit only. She gave her money to those more needy, which was way she was confident she'd always have a place to hide. She had her own network of friends and promises and deals and would rather trust that then trust an organization like the Pink Pony Club.
