The Gaurdian
Chapter 1:

I took a deep breath as I slowly walked into town. This was the first time I had been in civilization in over four years. I was extemly overwhelmed. In just four short years, so much has changed. The population and pace has doubled. Everyone moves alot faster and, but dont slow down for anything.
I tightened my backpack straps, as I walked past an alley. The city always makes me nervous. I've never liked it, not even when I was little and my parents would bring me. Even though This still wasnt a very big city, even though it grew, I still wanted to get out as fast as possible. To go back to my trees.
"Your late." a smug male voice said from the alleyway. "A year late."
"Sorry Sohan. I lost track of time."
He moved slightly so I could see him and crossed his ams."How do you lose track of a whole year? 365 days?
"Its possible." I say.
"For you and only you." he says shaking his head.
"I know."
He came out of the alley completly and hugged me. Sohan Way-Side is my cousin. Well kind of. My parents are his aunt and uncle but his parents arent my aunt and uncle thtough. It gets highly confusing sometimes. But we ignore it. He is my best friend and temporary protector until I find my real one. I tell him everything. But the one thing he doesnt know, the thing a lot of gaurdians dont know, is that my Tree, the Mother Tree, is sick. And so am I.
"You know its a good thing the Guardians are in council right now and are too busy to report your lateness to Aunt and Uncle Peach Tree. Or else you would be in huge trouble for not reporting when you were suppose to."
"Ya, I know. Im sorry, I just... forgot?"
Someone bummped into me and nearly knocked me down. Sohan growled. I lightly smacked his shoulder.
"Shhh Tiger."
He just growled again, but more playfully this time.
"You know, your gonna get caught one of these days, If you not more careful."
"Im alot more careful then you think." he said.
"Mmmhmm, Im sure you are."
"I am!"
"Whatever."
Sohan just rolled his eyes and grabbed my backpack off my shoulders. I followed him all the way to the safe house, that all gaurdians stay in while their in town. He lead me into the libary, which is soud proof, and turned to me and said,
"Okay, what happened? Why are you a year late coming back to civilization?"

I know its short also, but im suppose to be doing my chores. I'll post more tonight if I can, if not then to morrw. I promise the chapters will be longer. Thanks for reading. :)
