Robin's POV
We kissed. We actually kissed. Leona kissed me, I kissed Leona.
That was officially the best moment of my life.
As I walked home that day, all I could think about was the kiss. When I arrived home, I nearly ran into my older brother, Conner. Conner's not exactly the nicest person in the world. He's a senior in high school and is EXTREMELY popular at school.
"Watch it, Robin Hood," Conner yelled, and pushed me to the ground.
"For the last time, I'M NOT ROBIN HOOD!" I shouted, angrily.
Conner only laughed in response and walked away. Probably to go hang out with his dumb, cheerleader girlfriend, Stacey.
"Jerk," I muttered, before heading to my room.

The Next Day....
The next day after school, I ran over to Leona's alley, jumping with joy. Once I got there, I did a quick check to make sure no one was following me. I did this everytime, so no one would ever be able to find Leona.
After a clear check, I excitedly turned into Leona's alleyway only to have my excitement replaced with worry. Leona wasn't there. Leona never left her alley, except to use the restroom in a nearby store or buy food with the occasional money she found. But she was always there, waiting for me.
I looked around the alley, finding most of Leona's belongings missing. The only thing left was the old cardboard box Leona had used to sleep in.
Right when I was about to give up and head home, I saw something; a small, old envelope with sloppy handwriting on it. The note read:
Dear Robin,
Help! They've found me. They've taken me away. Please, help me!
Love, Leona
Finally, I knew what had happened. I knew what was wrong. After all these years of hiding and fending for herself, they had finally found her.
The police had finally found Leona, and taken her to an orphanage.
