"Lucas decided to go for a simple walk into the forest. Even in his young age,the forest was so safe that he wasn't in any danger. He walked and stared at the sky. The 4 year old gasped when he saw a lock of hair. The hair was gone in a flash, across the trees it hopped. The child, being curious, chased the hair in hopes of finding its owner. It seemed scared but when it suddenly stopped. Lucas felt something hit his head and daze him slightly. He saw a figure jump out of the tree and dash away from him. 'Is it afraid? Is it a person?' Lucas called out "Hey! You don't have to be scared! I won't hurt you." The figure stopped but didn't turn around. Lucas began to slowly approach the figure. He saw a back. Sitting on it was unruly and uncombed orange hair with a thick blue stripe? From what he could see it looked like she hasn't changed or had a proper bath in a while. "Are you okay?" The figure took a deep breath. It turned around and revealed a girl. She was a few years older than Lucas. Lucas wanted her to open her eyes and stop looking like he was about to strike. "Hey..Who are you?" The girl took in his light tone and opened her eyes. They were a crystal blue like rare fresh Sapphires. But they looked tired. Her clothes were worse for wear. They seemed stretched out and way too small for her age and stature. She had several freckles on her face. Her arms were littered with cuts from running and dodging who knows what. She was also pretty dirty. Lucas sat down on the grass attempting to get her to talk to him. He wanted to know her name. If she had one? Nah,Everyone has a name. The toddler crossed his legs and said "I'm Lucas. Wanna relax? I'm relaxing right here." The girl sat down next to Lucas but seemed a bit apprehensive. "Do you have a name?" He asked timidly. The girl closed her eyes in seemingly deep thought. Probably wondering if i'm someone she can trust.

The girl opened her eyes and Blue met Blue. "I'm Pollyanna." She finally spoke. Lucas restrained pointing this out, he didn't want to scare her. "What are you afraid of?"

"Not afraid of nothing." She spoke with with improper grammar.

"Then why were you running, Polly?"

"Polly?"

Lucas blushed slightly. "It's a nickname. People call me Luke sometimes."

"Okay."

"Can you answer my question?"

She sighed. "I'm probably crazy but I have no idea what i'm running from. I just feel weird jumping into something like interacting with people I don't know."

Lucas nodded as if he understood. "So you were playing hide and seek with the world?"'

She then tilted her head in confusion "What is Hide and seek?" Lucas then gasped "You don't know?" She shook her head,no. Lucas then stood up and offered her a hand. She hesitated but took it anyways. Lucas helped her up and instructed her to turn her head towards the tree and count to 15. She was able to count that high but her heartbeat speed up each time Lucas' sneaker squeaks became quieter. She turned around and looked around, mortified. "Lucas?!" She shrieked as if he was dying. Lucas ran out of his hiding spot and ran to the girl who was in tears. "What's wrong?" He asked, his voice wavered with confused fear. The girl hugged him then and there. A voice called Lucas' name. A young Claus ran up to them and looked sourly at the girl hugging him. "Who's this? Are you okay?" Lucas was dropped and Pollyanna looked at Claus. "She's Pollyanna."

"Claus." He introduced himself. "Hi." Pollyanna said. "Well, You two can play tomorrow We should head home." Lucas whined a little but he turned to Pollyanna."You should go home." She looked down dejectedly then began to climb a tree. She was almost there when Claus asked "What are you doing?" She swung her legs and wrapped them around the grabbed her bare foot and looked at her with big blue concerned eyes. "Wanna come stay with us?" The girl looked at the eyes in shock and saw the genuineness. She jumped down when Claus nodded. She hugged the two and thanked them.
