3 years later in the kingdom of central Wonderland...
"That'll be one gold coin, please." Said a merchant to a customer. The customer paid as I hid and reached out my hand to grab an apple. I picked one up and ran. The merchant saw and yelled "You have to pay for that! THIEF!!!" But I kept running. I was quick on my feet, they couldn't catch me. Besides what could they have done? I'm 10 years old now.
I made it away from the village and into the woods where I had my fort made from branches I cut down with the axe. I had a few canteens of water, and many pieces of bread and apples. Would I love out the rest of my days a thief? I was about to take a bit of the apple when I heard "Put that down."
I put it down and held my hands up. From behind me, a tall boy in a hood that looked the age of 12 aimed his bow and arrow at me. "I want everything you have, every last bit." He said. I silently reached for the axe, picked it up and stood up. He fired the arrow at the tree that was right next to my head. "That was a warning." He said and pulled out another arrow "Now put the axe down and give me the watch." I put it down and gave him my precious keepsake.
"What's your name?" The boy asked "Alexander." I replied, clenching my teeth. He started to put my food and water in a burlap sack. "My name's Christopher. Christopher Hood. I was sent here on a mission to find something." Christopher said and pulled down his hood, revealing the rest of his head's dark brown hair.
"Why do you need what I have?" I asked, staring at him. "I may be an Outlaw here but I steal from the rich and give to the poor." Chris said "I am poor. I'm a thief like you!" I pleaded for my things. "Unfortunately, this GOLDEN watch says otherwise." Chris replied, waving my watch in front of my face. "It'll make good money."
That was it. All the anger inside me bubbled up until I punched him. "Agh!" He shouted. He punched me in the gut and pushed me to the ground. "This could've waited. Not here." I said, struggling to sit up, coughing a little blood. Chris was about to head out "That's the thing, Alex. Here's not here." He said and walked away.
