Chapter 3 is up!
The door nearly slams into the man standing outside, who yelps, reaching up a hand to keep his maroon top hat on. Rushing past him are two kids, the one in a hat and a dark blue dress shutting the door behind him.
βSorry sir!β Jimmy shouts as he runs by, holding the hand of a hatted Scott who keeps his head low.
βH-hey! Now hold on for just a second there, mister.β
Jimmy halts and turns, trying to innocuously block Scott with his body. He looks at the pirate with an innocent expression. Said pirate makes sure his hat is firmly on his head before approaching the two boys.
βHave either of you seen another young boy around here?β the pirate continues. βTeal hair, white and blue top? Has a necklace with a little, uh, blue stone?β
βUhh, no, canβt say I have, boss.β Jimmy grins wide to try and sell the act.
βAw, thatβs too bad. Off you two go then, sorry for the disturbance.β
βNo problem sir, good luck!β
The two boys run off, but the pirate (who we know as Scar) still eyes the hatted boy as they grow smaller and smaller.
Until the hat is gone.
Scott trips, and the hat tips over and falls to the ground, revealing bright teal hair. An βOh!β is heard from Jimmy and Scarβs eyes widen; he shouts to the other pirate, Grian, and the two start to give chase.
