The Hoodie Theif (ON HOLD)

Prologue

I watched the small, green haired man run by. He was crying on the way again, no sobbing. I really wanted to help, but had a feeling it wouldn't go well if he saw me, and I was afraid he might tell people about me. It was bad enough there were most likely legends and rumors going around. I silently crawled on all fours in a nearby patch of trees. Thankfully the red leaves of autumn would hide my red hair and favorite lucky af flannel. I sat on my legs and arched my back so I'd stay hidden from him as he finally reached his destination, the pond. His crying had been reduced to a soft sniffle. I watched carefully, like I always do, to make sure he didn't touch the water in the eerie silver pond.

I was within arm's reach of him. If I wanted, I could just scoop him up in my hand and whisk him away with me. Oh believe me I wanted to, but I cared too much. He'd be terrified, in too much danger, and would probably miss his family and friends. They would miss him, too. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him, especially if it were my fault.

I took a deep breath in and blew a gust of wind in his direction, making the trees rustle and his hair go nutz. He giggled and smiled in my sort of direction, as if to thank mother nature. I smiled as well and did it one more time to drop a hint. I did this quite often, dropped hints that I was there, and he wasn't alone.

Even though he seemed to be able to sense something odd about the pond and had enough sense not to touch it, I always lingered nearby to make sure he didn't.

I watched as he looked up to the sunny, cloud filled sky and mentally sighed. Maybe someday we'd meet, and maybe even be friends. I don't know how I got to this forest or where I came from, but I did know that life would be so much more boring if this boy didn't exist.

*ominous voice*

Little did he know that it would be his own mistake that would cause their very first meeting, his own carelessness that would lead to their adventures, and friendship.
