Pov(???)
I wait in the alley for the pink girl to appear. After a few minutes I see her and raise my hand to signal where I am standing. Seeing my hand she comes up to me.
"I'll explain this quickly,"
"The sooner we start the sooner we'll make money."
In response, she just nods at me. I make a clone made only of shadows appear behind me.
"Put an illusion on it ".
A pink mouse comes up as I say and touches the clone. After touching it from a completely dark appearance, the clone turns into a girl our age. The clone has long red hair and emerald eyes and is dressed in black jeans and a pink jacket.
" It stands out a little but enough for today".
That was my plan. In the process of discovering the capabilities of my aura, I discovered that I could already make a clone correctly. However, the perfect clone had a huge disadvantage.
They 'were conscious'.
Perfect clones are alive and bleeding. When I first created a perfect clone this one refused to listen to my order then attacked me and tried to escape. My shadow hands caught the clone before it escaped from the bunker and dragged it into the shadows. The plan of perfect clones didn't work. Even if it worked if anyone spotted a clone they would have my drawing because they look like me. I suppose they have the same fingerprints and if someone captured them my data would be in the police database. And the worst part is that a clone doesn't need my aura he produces it himself. So a clone could kill me and replace me. The only thing I discovered that I can suppress the clone to some extent. But my strength is only enough to command it to stop.
That was enough to catch the clone. Maybe in the future when my mental strength is stronger than the clone's I will be able to suppress it completely. But with this I was able to create an unconscious clone. They are only made of shadows and run on "batteries". If I put aura in them they will work when the Aura is over, the clones will blend into the shadows . If I put half an aura in them they can walk and run all day. With that, I put together the perfect plan.
'Why should I steal if a clone can do it ? '
However, a clone that looks like a boneless grimm can't go out on the street. Hence I needed my little mouse . With an illusion it is impossible to distinguish a clone from a real person . Even if someone catches the clone this one will just dissipate . A clone without consciousness acts like a robot . In the process of creating it gives it the intentions of what it is created for. The more complex the orders the more aura it takes to create it. So I made the order as simple as possible.
'Steal jewelry and money without being noticed, hold the stolen jewelry and money, before losing all the aura return to the place of creation and hide the stolen items in the place shown to you, if caught, dissipate . '
'With these commands it should work'.
I think as I turn toward the disguised clone.
"Hide the stolen items behind this dumpster."
I say pointing to the dumpster next to me.
"Begin."
I orders and the clone slowly begins to move toward the exit of the alley. However, before the clone reaches the end of the alley I see the face of a multicolored girl begin to realize something. She runs quickly to the clone touches it and the illusion shatters.
"Stop! "
I shout at the clone which " caught" wants to return to the shadows. I then look at the girl and say.
"What is the point now! "
I am angry. Clone into which I put half my aura almost sunk in the shadows . The girl turns around and starts gesturing with her hands and the rest of her body.
"Tell me what you mean I don't understand."
At that moment the girl starts gesturing something else. And then I slowly connect the dots.
'During the conversation she didn't say anything '.
'She is mute! '

The girl gets another idea and pulls out of her backpack an old notebook
And a pen. That's when I knew
'We won't get along'
Neo pov
I pull out the notepad to explain to the girl that at a distance my illusions are weak and can be shattered by an accidental touch. Just as I am about to start writing it the girl speaks up again.
"I can't read ".
My mouth opens in surprise. I look up and see the blank expression on the girl's face.I didn't expect a girl of her appearance to not be able to read. I understand her plan but it won't work if the illusion shatters when dealing with people. However, now I see that it wasn't the plan that had difficulties but us.
'We will not get along'.
I'm slowly starting to feel disappointed. I have the possibility of a better life on the street but the whole ideal situation is falling apart because of My "abnormality" when I am about to give up I hear a sigh a girl with black jeans and a gray winter jacket sits down on the lid of a dumpster and says.
"Try to explain to me what's going on ".
'She gave me a chance '.
Normally people are disappointed that I can't talk. Others feel sorry for me because I'm "disabled." People have woken up to me with various reactions from sympathy, disappointment and even anger like my father. They even said that I don't speak to get attention. However, the mysterious girl treated me normally. My confident smile returns to my face and I try to gesture as best I can.
MY ILLUSION
DOESN'T WORK WELL
WHEN IT'S FAR
AWAY FROM ME
"You say that an illusion far away from you will destroys when touched".
Says the black-haired girl. I nod quickly.
"I'll do something about it."
The black-haired girl walks over to the shadow humanoid and touches it. She turns to me
"Cast the illusion again. "
I do as she says throw the same illusion. And now the red-haired girl comes out of the alley.
"Let's see how she will do ".
Says the black-haired girl walking towards the fire stairs.
Pov 3 person
A red-haired girl walks past a crowd of people. The people themselves pay no attention to her. When the girl walks past the people, hands emerge from her shadow and grab jewelry and wallets. The victims of the theft do not notice this . The whole situation was observed only by two girls one of them is wearing an old sweatshirt and dirty sweatpants. She has two colored eyes and hair. Her name is Neo. Next to her is a girl wearing a gray jacket and black jeans. Her hair is black and not tied up making it fly freely in the wind. The left side of her face is covered by a fringe. The girl herself has not revealed her name to anyone. The two girls watch the redhead from the roof of the building. Looking at the hands emerging from the shadows Neo seems surprised for a moment but eventually seeing the successful theft both look into each other's eyes and smile at each other. The same thought appears in their thoughts.
