(3rd Person POV)

         Zara carefully made her way down the streets of her village. She just noticed a policeman and didn't want to get caught. The blonde clutched the small bag of jewels she just lifted off the unsuspecting citizen and practically bounced down the street, snickering when she heard the loud shriek of the woman who had previously owned the jewels. Once Zara felt she was far enough away, she hid herself in an alleyway and tugged the bag open. Pretty sparkling diamonds and emeralds greeted her bright blue eyes and she smiled. Another good days work. Satisfied, Zara turned on her heel and out the alleyway, humming a small tune to herself as she briskly walked across the village square. Unfortunately she was not expecting what happened next. She rounded the next corner and collided with someone, sending her to the ground. The bag flew out of her hand and Zara quickly got up, spotting it on the cobblestone path. She reached for it and strangely, a gloved hand landed on hers right when she put her hand on it. She looked up and was met with a dazzling pair of brown eyes. She shook her head and her vision focused more. It was... a fox.

          "I'm so terribly sorry miss! I did not see you coming! Here, let me help." The fox lifted her to her feet and put the bag in her hand. Zara dusted herself off and raised an eyebrow.

          "I'm sorry too," she said, twirling her hair. "I guess I was just walking a bit too fast." The fox smiled charmingly.

          "Quite alright my dear. What's your name?"

          "Zara. Zara Malone." The fox took her hand and brought it to his face, kissing the back of it sweetly. She blushed deeply and gulped.

          "J. Worthington Foulfellow, my dear Zara. Or some folks call me Honest John." Zara smiled and gave a quick curtsey.

        "W-Well, it's nice to meet you J-John," Zara replied, mentally slapping herself for stuttering. The two began to walk down the road together, and that's when Zara noticed the cat.

        "Who's he?" John looked to what Zara was talking about.

        "Ah! This is Gideon! My faithful companion. Bit dull in the head and doesn't talk much, but really a fine gentleman." Giddy smiled happily and shook Zara's hand forcefully, making her blonde locks bounce around. John glared and smacked Gideon's arm with his cane, making the cat retreat, but still smile.

       "Now now. Is that anyway to treat a lady?" Giddy shook his head and tipped his hat at Zara in apology. She just nodded her head and ran a hand through her hair. The awkward silence continued and Zara just played with her bag. She had never been this nervous around anyone. Ever.

       "So what do you do for a living, Mr. Foulfellow?" The fox smiled.

       "Please my dear, call me John. I insist. And I'm in the acting business. You know, finding the right one for the stage and all that....can you act? Sing perhaps?" Zara blushed.

       "Uuuh. No. I can't."

      "Well, I'm sure you could with the right coaching! Why I remember someone just like you. It was a few months ago over on-."

      "THERE SHE IS!!!" Zara's eyes widened and she snapped her head in the direction of the two police officers.

      "GAH! Uh, so sorry to cut this conversation short, but I really must be going. Bye!" And with that, Zara sped away, her blonde hair whipping behind her and the two policeman following quickly.

       John stared off in the direction she left.

       "Very nice girl indeed, right Giddy?" The cat nodded. "But, interesting. I'll bet whatever in that bag was stolen." John then went quite, his mind on the beautiful girl. He couldn't wait to meet her again. Her gorgeous blue eyes permanently in his brain from this moment on.

       "See you soon. Miss. Zara Malone."


Ok, so this was copied and pasted from my "Troublemaker" book, but I can do it, bc it's my book and I didn't want to make up a completely different scenario when I already had one written XD

Really hope you liked it.

Love ya!
