My first story!


This is a story about a young fox living in a small shack by a hill in a cruel world. This world is filled with bandits guns and so much more evils. This boy is no hero but he is alive, from a life of cons and thievery. Thats whats about to go down, there is a group of nomads about to make a trade with him. One that can set him up for life and if this boy can play his card right he right he can live with little worries. The young fox knows if he does one thing wrong that he would be a corpse.

This deal is in a small room about 35ft long give or take, the fox ageing around 17 to 18, is waiting for his "contacts" (the nomads) to arrive. He is conning them for a large sum of money for an odd item. It is a cone in shape and seems to glow. well at least his replica does. He checks his watch. "what's taking them--"

"Are you julian?" the main nomad asking catching him off guard."y-yes. I am you got the money?"

The nomad put the case on the table and opened it turning it towards the fox. The fox put the case down and followed suit showing him the key. He walked over to the money and closed the case locking and pulling it off the table. the nomad stopped him before he could exit saying "it was a pleasure." with a slight smirk.

"It was." Julian replied. after leaving he started to run not a full sprint but a run. he knew thay would figure it out eventually and didn't want to stick around untill they do. he rounded a corner and that's where I come in. I am a male fox like him but i'm older 23 to be exact."sorry." he started off

I grabbed his wrist stopping him "Wait, I know you." He tried hard to get away but my grip was too good "Let go!"

"Calm down!" With that he calmed down.

"I need you to let go before it's too late." He said shaking heavily.

"Wherever you're going i'm coming with." I let go and followed him at a relaxed run staying in pace. He turned down an alley and stopped at a door. He entered I followed shut and locking the door.

"Names Sparrow." I said with a grin.

"Julian, why did you stop and follow me." He asked calming himself.

In this building there was a small couch, a small television and a fridge he grabbed a bag and put some cloths and personal items and said "lets go."

"alright i've got a car and supplies follow me." I he gave me a questioning look but i ignored it but he did follow. Once we got to my apartment it looked in the same condition (bad) as his but more room, i went to the bedroom to grab some extra cloths and my keys and we were off.

"I know a place we can hideout." I said

"who are you?"he asked adjusting his case

"you know my name but you don't remember me, do you remember that deal that went bad and almost left a pool of blood?"

"How could I forget?" sounding annoyed

" I was the one dropping them while you got. I over watched the rest of your cons from there."

"Where do you get your name?" he asked tiredly.

"I'm know as a 'little bird'. You know that saying a little bird told me?

"Clever." The ride was silent from then on.

A few hours past he was out like a light. We finally got to our destination. I grabbed most of his stuff, unpacked my things in my room and left his on his bed. I then went out and carefully carried him to his room careful not to wake him down left his case on the night stand.

The next day I was up an hour before he was in that time I showered changed and started breakfast. Julian walked out about to fall over. "Showers back there." I said pointing to my left. he returned to his room came back out and headed for the shower. I finished making breakfast made two plates just as he came out. We ate in silence then after we were both done I did the dishes.

"Lets discuss this con of yours." I said as i went grab the case from his room i put it down on the table and opening it checking the money, no counterfeits. Success. closed the case with all its continents and returned it he was in deep thought "1 million no fakes" I said a little too happily.

"yay." he said in very sad tone.

"Whats wrong you just became a millionare!"

"We, I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you, and i stole a million dollars for some styrofoam." I leaned in and we shared a passionate kiss "don't worry so much, were rich!"

He sat there speechless with a slight blush. "C'mon I wanna show you something."

He silently followed. I grabbed the keys and headed for the car sat down he followed suit. I started the car and backed out of the drive. I drove with a grin on my face the entire way.

Once we got where we were going I said "This is it the place I was so excited to show you to show you!"

"Whats special about this burnt piece of rubble?"

"This where we did our first con!"

"I did my first con- that was you!"

"yep." I said with a stupid grin on my face. This was the place we coned each other. he walked over and hugged me and that was a start to a relationship and to great business partners. We soon retired after that living together forever.
