Enigma

I was playing in our backyard alone while in the background the shifters were shuffling the furniture from one place to another as my momma kept changing her decisions faster than the speed of light . You see my momma was quite indecisive and even I got that trait from her . That's what daddy used to say .

As I was playing alone with my toys I saw a mop of blonde hair peeking through the fence seperating the two houses . I went over the fence and saw a pair of clear blue eyes staring back at me . Those eyes were the most fascinating pair of eyes I had ever come across . They were lightest shade of blue with golden tinges , it looked like the sun rays peeking through the curtain of clouds after a storm .It  was a  mesmerising site . He had a sharp nose and a huge smile stretched across his heart shaped face .

I realised he was still scrutinizing  me silently as if  he was trying to solve a riddle . After deciding that I was no threat he smiled wider and said , " hey , I am Hreed ! Who are you ?". His voice was high pitched and chipper.  I smiled too , but it wasn't as wide as his ... how could it be anyway , when I had just lost my dad ?

My momma kept telling me that he has just gone on a long trip and would come back soon but I knew better when I heard my grandad talking with the police officer . My momma was shattered after my father's death 4 months ago .  She couldn't bare to live in New York anymore so we moved to Texas . I was upset that I had to move away from Polly and my other friends . Polly Summers was my best friend.  She shared her gummy bears with me everyday but I was a good girl and knew better than to protest .

Hreed climbed over the fence and landed with a soft thud on the grass of our backyard. He came towards where I was sitting and stretched out his hand towards me . I shook his hand and said , " I am Anna Fawn ."
T

his was my first encounter with the cheery , little Hreed . The Enigma .
