"I've always wondered when I would fall in love. When I would meet the girl who could make my heart skip a beat, cause a swarm of butterflies to erupt inside of me, and make me feel on top or the world, basically turning my whole life around. Okay, maybe I got that all from watching chick flicks with my mom, but still.

When they're gone, how would I live?" *********** There was no doubt about it, Owen was in love. Ever since he met the beauteous and sweet Anne, they both have been inseparable.

Oh, and she's known by her city as The Hood, the mysterious figure that takes down those that are corrupt and wealthy with the help of her merry men - her three computer genius friends that are expert hackers. Her current target? Richard Sherwood, CEO of Sherwood Innovations. He has a net worth of multiple billions (exact amount unknown) and has been grooming his son to be the heir to his empire. Oh, and he happens to be involved in the death of Robin's parents and the disappearance of countless other innocents in the city. So, what's a girl to do? Stand back and watch a selfish, malevolent man take down the city with his bare hands? No. She's going to steal from the rich and give back to the poor, of course. But even though she has her secret weapon, Golden Arrow, and her tech savvy best friends, stealing from the most powerful man in the city from his Sherwood Tower office building is much easier said than done. *** This is my entry for the Once Upon Now, Target//Wattpad Contest.

Let me tell the story of the boy who never stopped running, that is, until he began to fly. Created 2016
