Fanon:Once A Theif

When Supernatural World's premiere thief Brigit Hemlock sets her sights on her biggest score yet, she may just end up over her head. Desperately searching for a means to destroy the pilfered artifact that's cursed her, Brigit journeys deep into the jungles of Isla Paradiso in search of a lost island - but finds an ancient god-monster accidentally loosed on Earth. It's going to take more than vampire allure to get out of this one.

Chapter 1
Brigit Hemlock, the adventurous theif turned theif turned theif again, is in the shower at her apartment. As she dries herself off, she reckons it says a lot about herself that she can pull off a pink costume. She also finds it funny that she know thinks of it as a costume. Once upon a time, it was just something she wore. But, he guesses after a few years of running round with playing heroes your perspective gets changed. A whole lot has changed lately. Love, life and livelihood all hit the rocks in short order and now she's picking up the pieces. It feels like she's gotten someone else's life by mistake. Is she a teacher? A security guard for supernatural teenagers? Sympathetic ex-girlfriend? It's gotten to the point where she can't tell what part of her is the costume.

Thinking about Skyhold gives her a moment of pause. Whatever it was worth, Skyhold was home and the everyone there was family.

She walks to her closet and grabs a dress from its hanger and reckons there are plenty of things keeping her from going home, but that doesn't mean she can't get back to her roots another way and have a little fun. He grabs a card inviting him to the home of Mr. Borya Cich for a fundraiser benefiting students of Empire State University.

She arrives at Borya's private estate, thinking that its not every day the newest resident of the most expensive zip-code in the country throws his doors wide open. She immediately clocks the guards who are armed and organized. That's good, she thinks, because if this was going to be easy she wouldn't enjoy robbing the place.

As she climbs the steps along with several other glamorous guests, she finds that she isn't on the list. The guard recommends she doesn't try entering if she isn't invited. Brigit suggests he look under Skyhold Home for Gifted Children, as she's there to show support for her fellow educators. With some fuss she is then allowed through and soon finds the guests mingling in the gardens.

Brigit has heard two persistent rumors about Borya Cich. First is that he makes a tidy business out of bankrolling the crooked plans of dangerous people. The second is that if and when their plans go belly up, Cich takes their gadgets or magical mojo goodies as his repayment. Supposedly, Cich believes that the world is full of Gods, aliens and supernaturals like Brigit means the whole world is an arms race. But, what really piqued Brigit's interest is the third rumor. She's heard that Cich keeps his prized collection of ill-gotten artifacts hidden somewhere in his estate.

As she wanders around carrying a glass of bubbly, an attractive woman approaches her. "Nice specs," is her opening line. Brigit muses she hates to lose points, but they were given to her by a friend. She tells Brigit she shouldn't be so honest. Brigit can't be sure if anyone's ever told her that before. The woman tells him that a lot of women are attracted to the money that buys those kind of toys. Brigit asks if she's that kind of girl. She replies that she's not any kind of girl. Besides, she adds, since they're both being honest, she is much more attracted to power than money. Brigit says she can't begin to tell her how glad he is to hear that.
