Angelo's POV

Before he came to town, the skies were almost always blue and the place was beautiful. One of the things that made the bazaar so popular, sometimes I would go and paint the people. When it began to fail, Felix, the mayor, brought in a farmer to town. His name, Hansel Krackle, he was young and cheery. Kevin loved him to bits, they were good friends.

The longer Hansel stayed though, the cloudier the town became and more rain fell while the winds became harsher. The people seemed to become more depressed over the days, except for Hansel and Kevin.

It wasn't until one day when I was drawing near the waterfall under the tree that I figured it out. It was early in the morning and I was drawing something, I can't remember what. I didn't hear him approach, most likely because of the waterfall but when I looked up, Hansel was sitting next to me clutching a moondrop flower. He looked at me and smiled but didn't say a word. He looked so bright in what was now a dark and dull area with a smile that warmed my heart. I gave him the drawing and started a new one, drawing him for a change, it was better than drawing Felix all day.

When I finished it was half 4 but he still sat beside me, now joined by his forever loyal side kick, Kevin, who must of seen how the young farmer seemed to give off a form of light in what was turning into a never ending darkness.

It wasn't until I made a move to leave that I heard the man's voice.
"Don't go yet." He whispered softly and I saw the smile vanish from his face as he turned to look at me.
"I brought you this flower." I accepted the moondrop flower from him and sat back down.

By 10 o'clock he was fast asleep on my shoulder and Kevin's head on his lap. I ended up carrying them both to their houses, Kevin first so his parents wouldn't panic. Hansel woke when I reached the windmill outside his house. He thanked me for the day and ran into his house.


A/N: Thanks for reading, even though it's short. I can't put an 100% guarantee that this will be continued. If you'd like to see it continued please leave me some for of note so I know people are enjoying. Even if you didn't please tell me what you though was wrong.

My friend recommended me putting it as teen since, if it does continue, it may get scaryand she believed it had a rather dark atmosphere.
