Forgotten Wonders

Chapter 4:New friend?

I was wandering around the village with my hood pulled tight over my head, when I bumped into a young girl maybe a year or so younger, she had a silver fish tail and small white wings, her long platinum blonde hair was pulled into pigtails, and she squinted at me with her robin egg blue eyes."Hello?" she asked, opening her eyes wide in surprise, I got up slowly, she held out her hand and I grabbed it,

"Hey, I'm alright if you wanted to know," she raised an eyebrow,

"Hey alright, I'm Sasha," the girl joked, I giggled a little bit,

"My name is Amber, by the way," her eyes lit up,

"My grandfather told me about you!" Sasha said excitedly and reached for my hood, I leaned back away from her hand,

"No!" I exclaimed as my hood fell off, Sasha stared at me,

"You are an Unluck!" she said softly and pulled my hood back on. She bent down on her knees and started picking up some flowers and putting them into a basket,

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I just noticed them," I apologised,

"It's fine," Sasha smiled, "So, do you like flowers?" she said, flicking a rose off her tail,

"Oh? yeah, they're pretty,"

"I know right?" Sasha giggled as she put the last flower in the basket,

"Did you like the Sakura festival?" I asked,

"Oh, yeah. It got so bright I had to close my eyes though,"

"What? That's the best part!" I exclaimed,

"I have very sensitive eyes," Sasha said, "That's why I stopped going," she added reluctantly.

"Oh, sorry."

"My sight isn't quite the best either," she continued, "too bad Grandpa can't afford glasses, even with his bakery running quite well," she said sadly, suddenly, we heard a wail,

"Jayden!" I shouted, Sasha looked at me and grabbed the basket, she started running off towards the wail, I followed close behind. When we ran into the alley the sound had come from, my hood fell off, and Sasha ran towards Jayden,

"Stop!" a man shouted, "He is a little thief!" he shouted again, he looked at Sasha,"Unless," he looked at Sasha,, "You're working together!" he shouted and scratched Sasha over her left eye, she cried out, and ran behind me.

"Amber, help him." she whispered, I stepped into the light,

"Excuse me, that's my little brother," I spoke calmly, at least, I tried to, anger crept into my voice as I went on, "if you would mind, I'd like you to leave him alone,"I growled, which I didn't even know I could do, the man snorted and stalked out the alley. I looked at Sasha, she had been scratched on her left eye, and it was bleeding, Sasha looked at Jayden.

"Don't worry about me, let's get him to the bakery, Grandpa can't say no to someone in that state,"
