Jimmy's Perspective
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sighed as I sat up - I looked around at the bleak,bitter village and grimaced. I didnt want to be here, I'd rather be somewhere peaceful like the swamp! Those witches never get any bother from anyone these days, but now I have a friend and I can't leave...maybe one day he can come with me!
I staggered up and put on the coat Scott gave me when we first met:It was a metallic baby blue with fluffy insides, just enough to keep me warm.
I slid on my make-shift,cork sandles and walked through the crisp cobble streets. I eyed the nearest rich person I could find before running and clutching their purse,
"AH- GET BACK YOU DOLL DIZZY!" The women yelled and hit me. I winced and blinked back tears as I continued to try get the purse off of her. I yanked it and broke the pearl strap on it. Didn't matter though, at least I had money.
I ran as fast as I could - the sound of distant yelling and cold air filling my ears as I sprinted down the street and into a small hole in a fence.I took a shard breath and covered my mouth as I heard (presumably) the police pass by me.
I crawled onto the over side and into the main market place,approaching a certain cart within the market.
"Ah Jimmy!",The brown haired man exclaimed in delight.
"Hello Pix" I smile slightly.
"What can I do for you today?" He asked, a friendly grin on his face.
"Nothing much, just some food if you don't mind." I pulled out a shilling and handed it to him.
"You know I only sell Copper"
"Come on you must have some food to spare!" I argued in which he laughed,
"Well- your not wrong. Your lucky a lovley little lass made me a cake yesterday and I do have some left." He explained
"Does it have nuts in it?" I asked.
"Nope." He replied.
"Welp i'll be taking some of it!" I smile. He nods and pulled out a medium portion of cake from under the stall. "Oh jee- I don't think I could eat all that-!"
"Well I mean you can always share" he laughed.
"Nope!" I quickly ran off with the cake, "THANK YOU MR.RIFTS!!",I yelled to him.
"No problem!" He yelled back,laughing a bit.
I ducked into an ally-way and sat down with the cake. I let out a sigh of relief and began to eat, the flavour melting in my mouth. I smiled and ate as much as I could without getting sick. I noticed the sun going down and shoved it in my mouth. I got up and ran through the now quiet streets,my feet slapping against the frosty floor.
I panted as I came to a stop. I eyed the premises before climbing over the wall and landing on the other side with a yelp. I covered my mouth and clumsily ran over to the wall. I looked around before jamming my toes and fingers into every nook and cranny I could find - slowly making my way up the wall with caution.
I knocked on the frost covered window; my body shook violently in fear of falling. It was a long way down and if I fell I would just die on impact. I stared down for a moment.
I could just let go and die instantly.
I was so lost in thoughts I didn't even realise when the window opened.
"Jimmy! Your back!" A familiar Scottish boy exclaimed. I looked up to see Scott,
"Yup!" I giggled, ignoring my previous thoughts.
He grabbed my hands and helped me in. I stood straight and laughed.
"You okay by the way-? You didn't look up until I said your name-" He held my hands slightly tighter.
"O-Oh yeah-! I just- liked the view!" I grinned nervously.
"Ohhh okay!" Scott smiled, a faint tone of suspicion in his words. I just nodded in agreement and sat down on his desk chair,
"I like your quill! What kind of bird is the feather?" I ask him.
"It's a Snow Owl! Father made me hunt it when I insistently told him I didn't want to kill them." He sighed.
"Oh I'm sorry that happened."
"It's fine..when I'm older I'm gonna keep a snow owl as a pet to make up for it!" Scott grinned in excitement.
"Wowie! Maybe I'll do something like that too!" I smiled.
"That would be so cool! And then we could also have sleepovers here!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah! And we could have a pond! With Cod!"
"Maybe not that- it's quite chilly here remember-" He giggled slightly.
"Oh yeah..- oh well! Your ideas are cool too! We could have sleepovers all the time! And then you could come to my house and I could come to your castle!" I shrieked happily.
"Yeah!!"
We both giggled and smiled - are eyes filled with joy as we lied on the floor of Scott's bedroom. I yawned, my eyes fluttering shut before I fell asleep - the only thought I had being the little hope I just barley had left for my future.

Scott's Perspective
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I went to say something when I noticed Jimmy was asleep.
Shoot-
I was originally going to shake him awake but I didn't want him to be angry so I picked him up, set him on my bed and tucked him in. If I woke up early in the morning before the maid came in I'd be able to get him up and out without getting us into trouble.
I got changed before lying down next to him and quite quickly falling alseep
