What is he doing here, wondered Josephine, while looking at the boy who was wandering around the woods. The girl had never seen someone as deep in the woods alone, if not to count herself and animals who Josephine defined as her neighbours. But he wont be here for long, she was sure, he'll walk away soon enaugh, amd then i can finaly climb off that tree.
But as minutes became hours, the boy was still there, sitting on a rock, drawing something. Josephine finally gave up. She decided that she can't sit there for another minute.
,,Hey you!" Josephine called out. ,,What are ypu dojng here!" She almost shouted. The boy flinched a little, before looking around to see where the voice came from. Josephine sighed, ,,Up here!" She gave the boy a little hint. But as the boy didn't still spot her, she climbed down. ,,What are you doing here?" She asked again, crossing her arms in front of her. The boy seemed bit scared, as he answered: ,,I was just... drawing..." he murmured. Drawing. Josephine scoffed. ,,For what, like," she looked at the sun before cntinuing ,,two hours?" She. The boy nodded slowly. ,,Yes..." Josephine raised an eyebrow. ,,Hmm? Show me, what yoh drew." She demanded. The boy showed her a drawing. It was beautiful, full of small details, all shadows in rigth places. Josephine nodded, admiring the pictire. ,,It's wery nice." She admitted. The boy smiled. ,,Thanks..." he didn't actually licen what the girl said; he was busy with looking at the girl. She was beautiful, the boy tought: long ginger hair, loose on her back, green eyes shining in afternoon light, red lips curving into crooked smile. She was barefoot, her legs covered with small scraches and scars, her finger nails short and bit broken.
She looked like a forest fairy, the boy tought.
Josephine also looked at the boy: only bit taller than her, maybe a year older, so nine or ten hears old, short chocolate brown hair bit messy in the wind. He was wearing suspenders and white, long sleeved shirt.
,,Uhm...so...where do you live?" The boy asked.
,,I live here, there... everywhere in the woods, but sometimes on the field. But my house is in the forest."
,,So do you live all by yourself?"
,,No. I live with other forest fairyes. They took good care of me. I, in fackt, am also half fairy."
The boy smiled. ,,Well, my name is Daniel."
,,Josephine." The girl said. She looked at boy's hand in disbelif. ,,Why are you holding your hand like that?" Josephine asked. Daniel smiled. ,,It's thing that humans do, when they meet."
,,What for?" Asked Josephine, confused.
,,Well...I actually don't know." They both laughed.
,,...Mm... anyways, I hope to see you around, Josephine." The boy said, as he turned to leave.
