Not even gonna say anything.

Wait no.

Barely edited.

K bye.

"So did you get the items before you got caught up with Jerry's nonsense?" Jess asked.

I nodded. "Do you want them?"

"Please."

I handed her the mushrooms and carrots.

"Thank you." She smiled.

We continued walking through the town. It took me a while to say something. "Are his stories really just stories?"

"Of course!" She said. "He always talks about nonsense. Whether they're about religion, or legends of people, or even about his own past, it's all just lies and myths."

"Oh." That was a bummer. I actually wanted to meet that one guy he was talking about. Harold did seem like a myth, though. He seemed too good to be true.

"But he's harmless." She assured me. "Everyone here is."

"HEY!"

I whipped around to where the voice rang out. Luckily, the female stand owner a few stalls away wasn't talking to me. However, she was talking to a masked person who was robbing her.

The black haired lady was in a tug-of-war battle with a person in a light green hoodie with a creeper head hiding his face. They were both gripping a pumpkin and yanking it back and forth. 

When the creeper guy realized people were about to interfere, he gave one final tug and ripped the pumpkin from her grasp. He slammed his shoulder into a person that was coming to help, knocking him over. The robber ran down the street, cutting a clean line down the center of the crowd, and turned left.

"That was a creeper mask!" Jess exclaimed.

"I thought everyone here was harmless." I said quickly.

As we heard the lady's cries about the bandit taking most of her pumpkin supplies, I stared at where the person ran.

"We should leave." Jess said. She nudged me, and started walking behind me.

Instead, I sprinted the other way.

"Lily!"

I ignored her call and ran down the street. I maneuvered my way through the people, dodging kids and jumping over cats and dogs. I almost ran into an older man, shouted sorry, and continued on my way.

Assuming it was the same way the guy went, I turned to the left. It was a long road with just houses and a few people walking. The thief was running, and turned another left.

I wasn't going to be able to catch up with him. I needed another way.

I looked around for a different route. My eyes trailed upward. Hmm....
