Chapter 1

You Varmint!

ABBY'S POV.

"GET BACK HERE YOU NO GOOD VARMINT!" I screeched.

Right now, I was chasing none other Tennessee Kid Cooper. He was the best thief there was, which was a bad thing, of course. However, I am getting ahead of myself. Let me introduce myself.

My name is Abigail Ramona Evanson. I am a nineteen year old raccoon and the daughter of the mayor of this town, which is named Sunset Valley. I am also an honorary sheriff, meaning I had the authority to take people in and lock them up when did something against the and people knew it too.

I had become an honorary sheriff four years ago…

FOUR YEARS AGO. ABBY'S POV.

I had been at a party with my younger sister, Sonia, and my mother and father. It was a party celebrating me becoming an honorary sheriff; I was now a part of the law around here. It was a big achievement for me, especially to be so young. Nevertheless, I was not made a sheriff because I was the mayor's daughter, I worked hard to become a sheriff, and I had earned it.

Everything had been going just fine. The party was in full swing, and everyone was having a good time. I had stepped out so I could use the women's room.

After I had walked out and heard a gun shot. I stayed where I was and looked out from behind a plant. That was the first time I saw him. He was a gray raccoon. With a brown hat, an orange shirt, and yellow neckerchief. He also wore a brown belt with a gold buckle, with a gun holster, and brown boots. He also had on a black mask, which matched his natural rings on his tail.

He had a revolver, but it had a gold cane like hook on it, and was pointing it at the crowd.

"Alright, now just hand over all your valuables and no one gets hurt." he said, smirking.

I knew who it was. Tennessee Kid Cooper. And, I wont lie, he was…very handsome. But that didn't matter. He was a thief.

Who hadn't heard of him? He was a master thief. Moreover, I made it a goal to bring him down. Of course, Sheriff Fox had told me not to get my hopes up.

I knew for a fact that no one had a weapon at this party, not even sheriff fox. We weren't expecting this after all. Nevertheless, I did have a weapon on me. I had a revolver in a leg holster on my right leg. I always carried one just in case something happens. And this was one of those times. He had just collected all the valuables from everyone, and had them in a sack.

He still hadn't noticed me, as I lifted my dress a bit and removed the holstered gun, and steadied my hand, then cocked it. I stepped out just as he turned around, gun still pointed at everyone.

"Drop the gun and get out of here, Tennessee." I stated with venom. He smirked.

"Well, it seems that you know who I am-" he stated, but I cut him off.

"Who doesn't? You're the lowliest thieving varmint there is." I stated.

"Woo, you are a feisty little thing aint you?" he said, smirking still, making me glare and growl lowly.

"As I was saying, you know who I am, but I haven't a clue as to who you are, little lady." he said.

"It's Abigail Evanson." I said, my glare never faltering.

His eyes and smirk widened. Then walked over to me, I re steadies my hand, but he came closer still. I wasn't going to just shoot him out right. It wasn't right. I may have been a sheriff, but I did have morals

"The mayor's daughter? Well, it's certainly a pleasure to meet you." he said, now right in front of me.

He took my other hand and kissed. I was surprised. I was frozen, but quickly recovered. Then he looked closely at my necklace, that now was in between his fingers, but still around my neck.

"It's mighty pretty, just like you miss Abigail. So just for you, I think I'll let you keep it." he said.

I had been able to get serious again, and lifted up my revolver, that had slowly been lowered by him.

"Give back everyone's belonging and turn yourself in!" I stated.

"Sorry, but I can't do that." he said.

I shot at his feet, but he dodged. He side stepped me and then kissed my cheek. I was so shocked, I lost my footing and fell to the ground. My riffle went sliding away from me. No one dared to move.

"Enjoy the rest of your party Miss Abby!" he said. Using my nickname, that my family had given me. I knew he didn't know that, but he still said it.

He jumped out of the window and when I went over to see where he went, he was already gone.

Sheriff Fox began to make sure everyone was okay, despite the other things that had happened. I just sat down, with my family around me. They were trying to console me. Then Sheriff Fox, came over and spoke to me.

"It's nothing to feel ashamed about Abby. We've been trying to catch him for years. Don't worry." he said, placing a hand on my shoulder.

That night, I lied awake in my bed. I stared at the ceiling, the events of what happened, kept replaying in my head. I glared at the ceiling before turning on my side and closing my eyes so I could go to sleep.

'Mark my words, Cooper, I will get you!' I thought to myself, as I drifted into sleep.

ABBY'S POV. PRESENT DAY

Well, that's the story of how this whole thing happened. He had humiliated me. And I still hadn't let it go. I don't think I will until I bring him down either. Now back to what was happening…oh yeah…

"STAND STILL! STAND STILL I SAY YOU YELLOW BELLIED MAGGOT!" I yelled, still on his tail.

"You know how it goes Abby! If you want me too stop you'll have to catch me!" he called back.

I growled. He was really getting on my nerves today. I was not letting him get away! I chased him although town, apologizing to people as I passed.

Then he jumped up onto one of the roof tops, I followed. I was great with flexibility and balancing my weight. I did a jump cartwheel onto the roof top, and continued to chase him. I was really close and was about to grab when, I suddenly lost my footing, on the side of a rooftop and slipped.

My foot was caught by a clothing line, then got tangled in the other one. I stopped falling abruptly, and was bouncing up and down, then slowly stopped. I dangled upside down a bit dizzy. Just then he was in front of me.

"Well, I see you aren't in UP-lifting spirits today, miss Abby." he said smirking.

I growled at him and glared.

"Well, I'll be seeing you, Miss Abby." he said, putting a hand on my cheek, before running away.

I steamed for a minute, and I could swear that there was actual steam coming out of my ears and that my face was red, before screaming.

"COOPER!" I shouted so loud, it echoed.

I began thrashing around trying to free myself, muttering incoherent things and curses to myself about the raccoon who had just fled.

I am so mad right now. When I see that raccoon again, I am going to-

"Abigail?" I to my side and saw Mrs. Jones and her daughter Jenny.

"Oh, hello Mrs. Jones, Jenny." in said a bit embarrassed.

"Are you alright dear?" she asked.

"Oh, yeah…but, um…could you, uh, help me down." I said smiling nervously.

"Oh course dear." she said.

Lucky for me, they were going to their sewing group, so she had a pair of scissors in her sewing bag. After a minute she was able to get me down.

"Thank you kindly, Mrs. Jones." I said, tipping my head.

"No problem dear. You take care now. Come one Jenny." she said. "Oh, and tell your mother that I said thank you for the pie when she and your father get back." she stated, turning back to me.

"Sure thing ma'am." I said as they walked away.

I stood up and headed home. This just wasn't fair! Why did he always get away?! Why couldn't I win for a change!?

I made it home soon enough, and was jumped by my sister. Literally, she jumped on me and hugged me tight.

"Hey to you too, Sonny." I said smiling warmly, using her nickname.

"Hey Abby! So did you get him this time?" she asked.

I looked away for a second then back at her.

"…No, not this time, but I was really close." I said.

"Yeah, I thought that was you I heard, shout 'Cooper!'. What happened?" she asked.

"I lost my footing on one of the roof tops, and fell. Then got tangled and was hanging from a clothing line." I explained.

"Really?" she asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah, then Mrs. Jones walked by with Jenny, and cut me down." I said.

"Wow. Sorry. But I'm sure you'll get him!" she said.

She was always the one to see the bright side and make everyone smile. That included me. Smiled and kissed her head. My mother and father were in a town two towns over, so I was in charge. I made us lunch and we just kept talking. But throughout that time until bed, I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched...

I had slipped on my white silken night gown later that night. It had wide straps and went to my knees. I got into bed and slowly drifted off into sleep. Maybe tomorrow would be better…
