Title: You Found Me Status: Complete Characters: Anon, Fang Rating: SFW Classification: One-Shot Author: SeasonedSnootEnjoyer Summary: A young Anon and Lucy go trick-or-treating! It was finally Halloween. Anon was in his room getting ready to begin his annual candy collecting quest. The little eight year old was putting on his last accouterments of his Zoro costume. He had to use his dad’s old button up and his mom’s green scarf as the haramaki and though it was a tad on the larger side it worked fine enough. Unfortunately he didn’t have any hair to dye green nor would his parents buy him a wig but that wasn’t too much of an issue. He already had the perfect back up story! He was in the process of saving Luffy during an attack on the Thousand Sunny and in a freak accident near the magazine his hair burnt off. He nodded to himself, proud of the perfect explanation behind his slight deviation from canon. Looking down he was almost ready. All he had to do now was find a good way to fit his three plastic samurai swords in his belt in such a way that was loose enough to be comfortable but tight enough that they wouldn’t fall out. With one final pull of the knot and a quick shake of the hips to make sure his Fisher Price cutlasses wouldn’t slip out, he marched out of his room and down the stairs. His mother, who was still pouring the various candies into the bowl smiled as he walked in. “Oh my what a handsome pirate! Are you finally ready to go trick-or-treating?” ”HECK YES!” Anon beamed throwing a fist into the air. Giggling, his mom grabbed the small plastic pumpkin candy basket and walked to the door to see her son off. “Please be careful sweetie, and remember to not go too far. Please come back when the street lights come on okay?” ”Yes mom I will!” With a final pat on the head and kiss on the cheek, she waved Anon off as he left the door and out into the street to begin his adventure. Head held high, Anon thought thoroughly about just how he would begin his trick-or-treating adventure. He supposed he could just start at the beginning of the street and then work his way around the cul-de-sac. Simple and straight forward enough. Oh, but, all of the rich houses had the biggest candy bars, and he know all of the kids would be going there first to get their pick. They were always the first to run out of candy! But he would have to bounce around so much just to get it done. And while he knew his neighborhood well enough and figuring out who was rich was easy what with how elaborately their house and lawn were decorated, he was afraid of missing a few or getting confused. Of course there was also the issue of him not being able to collect the most candy as he could in time bouncing around the houses to just get to the rich people. Two big candy bars is nice but probably less candy in total than twenty mini-snickers. If he was going to collect not only the best candy, but a lot of it, and in time to get home, he had to be tactful. What to do… ”Pfft! What is he wearing!” While the young human was distracted mulling over the most efficient way of collecting his booty he ran into a small gang of triceratops kids. “W-what?” Stopping in his tracks he turns himself to face the group of kids. One of the girls, snickering, points to Anon. ”What kind of costume is that?!” Looking down, Anon scans his outfit in confusion before looking back up to the group when an idea pops into his head. Now was his chance! Taking a wide stance and throwing his fist into the air he calls out to the kids. Time to impress the heck out of them. “I’M ZORO! FORMER BOUNTY HUNTER AND CURRENT SENIOR OFFICER OF THE STRAW HAT GANG!” Pulling out two of the three toy swords, he crosses them and gives the group a mean stare and a sly grin. “ONE OF THE MONSTER TRIO! WITH A BOUNTY OF OVER ONE BILLION BELLY, I WAS ONE OF THE SUPER ROOKIES TO REACH THE RED LINE AND I AM THE GREATEST SWORDSMAN IN THE WORLD!” In an attempt to really sell his character, he tosses one of his swords in the air before grabbing his last one in his makeshift hamaraki and placing it in his mouth before catching the one he threw. A really cool and honestly impressive trick that he had been practicing all month. And in that stance he stood, frozen, waiting for the no doubt estatic reaction from the kids he was impressing. ”...PFFFFFFT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” All of the kids were rolling over in amusement and laughter over Anon’s little display. Confused, Anon removed the sword from his mouth and scratched his head. “I-I don’t get it. What’s so funny guys?” ”Y-you look like you crawled out of the laundry!!!” ”Is that your DAD’S shirt?” ”Lil’ bro bald as fuck and think he rollin’ with Luffy!” Annoyed, Anon shot back. ”H-hey! I lost my hair in fire when-” ”Yea what ever man! Your shit is all goofy! Skinnie thinks he’s a pirate just cuz he watched some anime.” Still convulsing with laughter, the group continued on their way, grasping desperately at their sides and trying their best to not pass out from the oxygen their forcing from their lungs, leaving Anon in the dust stupefied. The kids rounded the corner, their laughter disappearing with them. Dejection overwhelmed the poor human as he picked up his swords and returned them to their sheaths. Anon lazily limped over to the curb and fell unceremoniously onto his butt, burying his face into his hands. What just happened? How could they not like his outfit? Sure he had to throw together what he had since his parents didn’t buy him a costume but he didn’t think it looked too bad. Though his mom’s scarf did have a weird floral pattern on it. Was it the monologue? Everything he said was true! And Zoro was so cool! How could anyone not like him?! He even did his cool trick he had been practicing WEEKS to get right! And yet, they laughed. In his face. Refusing to even let him explain why he didn’t have hair. It crushed him. All confidence and pride destroyed by a group of kids who were probably going to stuff them selves full with candy at the end of the night and continue to laugh about the weird skinnie kid they ran into. Candy that Anon was so excited to get. But now? Anon didn’t know if he even wanted to get candy anymore. With a sigh, Anon got up and decided to begin the short walk home, maybe mom would let him have some of the candy when he gets back. ”HEY!” Anon stops in his tracks and turns around to see a pterodactyl girl rushing over from near the bushes. Oh no. Please no. Don’t. Anon flinched. He didn’t want to have to go through all of that a second time. Continuing, he quickens his pace. ”Hey you! W-wait!” She called out again. Wait? Why? To be humiliated again? To just be another laughing stock? ”Hey where are you going? Are you a pirate? I’m not here to laugh at you like those mean jerks did!” Anon stopped and turned around, about to give this girl a piece of his...was...was she wearing a pirate costume. Now that the girl was closer he could more clearly see what she was wearing. Dressed in a proper swash buckling get up with a leather vest, boots, sword and bandanna. But something was off. Like, was that a tiara she was wearing? And a gown? Rushing up, she catches her breath before speaking. ”Hey! Finally. You’re a pirate too right?” The girl motions over to Anon, pointing at his outfit. Raising an eyebrow, Anon looks her over. He squints. “...Yes.” ”That’s cool!” The strange ptero beams. “You don’t...really think that.” Anon lowers his head and turns away. ”What? Of course I do! Hey, don’t listen to those meanies! You look like a proper swashbuckling sailor of the seven seas!” “Really?” Anon lifts his head up a bit at the comment. “Of course! In fact, I was thinkin’, would you like to join my crew!” Really? Seriously? This girl wants Anon to join? After being laughed at? Ashamed? Anon looked away, timid. “I-I dunno. How do I know you won’t just laugh at me again?” The dino huffed and crossed her arms. ”Because! I’m not a meanie like those other guys! Besides, I REALLY need a First Knight!” Anon cocked an eyebrow. “A first...knight?” ”Yea! A first knight! Y’know! Like a first mate and a knight rolled into one!” This girl was now confusing Anon more than making him nervous. First mate? And a knight? ”What...are you talking about?” The strange girl puffed out her chest and placed her hand on her hips. ”I am Lucy! Pirate Princess! Ruler and plunderer of the Seven Seas! I rule my domain and tax my citizens by taking their treasure!” Pirate Princess? That’s...kinda cool actually. Anon placed a finger on his chin and pondered the request. “I dunno...are you sure you’re not gonna laugh at me?” ”Not unless you say something funny?” She grinned. Anon cringed. ”U-uh...I’d be laughing WITH you! N-not at you…” She quickly corrected her self and looked away in embarrassment. Anon looked her over once again. She didn’t seem malicious. In fact, she appeared to be very genuine. And at least she was offering for him to tag along with her. He crossed his arms and looked at her sternly. “Well...I dunno, I already have a captain! Luffy! And I’m a member of the Straw Hat Gang!” ”Oh...Oh! Well uh, that’s...that’s why I need you!” Lucy exclaims. ”What?” ”Y-yea! You see uh...Fluffy-” ”Luffy…” ”Yea! Luffy, is in BIG trouble! He was captured! He needs help like really badly! And as pirate princess we must save him!” Anon deadpanned at the girl. Was she being serious? First, Luffy was a badass. Second, He had the cool stretchy powers after eating the gum gum fruit! There was no way he was in that much trouble! ”But he is! BIG trouble! And we need to help him by...by uh...collecting booty!” Lucy motioned with her own candy bucket. Anon was taken aback slightly. “Wha- how did you know what I was-” ”You were mumbling.” “Oh.” Mom always did tell Anon how much he mumbled. What ever. Lucy was tapping her fingers in anticipation for Anon’s answer. Well… Anon looked her over one more time. She seemed to really want to have Anon along to go trick-or-treating. And Anon REALLY REALLY wanted to get all the candy he could and he had already wasted enough time sulking in the grass after being humiliated. Plus, she wasn’t laughing at him. Which was a very nice change of pace from how the night started. With some reservation, Anon put out a hand. “Alright...deal.” With a large grin, Lucy took Anon’s hand and shook it. ”YES! Come on! LET’S GO ZORO! AS MY HONORARY FIRST KNIGHT! WE ARE GOING TO GET SO MUCH TREASURE WE’LL BE DROWNING IN IT!” And with that, Anon followed her to the nearest house. Marching down the street with his new royal captain, Anon pointed to a home that had a lot of colorful flashing lights inside. “Look! Over there. That could be our first stop.” ”Ooooh. Good eye First Night! Let’s go!” As they approached the door, they could more clearly hear loud music coming from inside. Empty bottles of the stuff only mom and dad was allowed to drink littered the yard. With a rousing knock, Anon and Lucy back up and wait in anticipation. Several moments later, a lanky stegosaurus girl opens the door, clad in a witch’s dress and slightly annoyed expression. ”Oh...hey kid. Hold on.” She reaches to the side and grabs a candy bowl, lazily grabbing a hand full and throwing it into Anon’s bucket. ”YO! AGATHA! LOOK OUT!” The Stego witch quickly ducks, nearly missing a stray bottle flying over head and smashing to the floor. She glared in the direction it came from and growled. ”ANTHONY! YOU ARE THE ONE CLEANING UP THAT FUCKING MESS!” She screams before roughly slamming the door in the duos face. Lucy looks down in disappointment at her bereft candy bucket while Anon just stared in confusion the now shut door. ”Hey! Why didn’t I get any candy?!” Lucy reaches over and knocks on the door. No answer. “They looked kinda busy in there. And some guy did just throw something at her. Maybe we should try the next house?” Anon tugs on his princess’ sleeve, continuing back down the street. ”Come on! The next house should be better!” Across the street was indeed a far more normal looking house, though seemingly under decorated. Once again, Anon knocks on the front door and waits in anticipation. Several moments later a disheveled human woman in a bathrobe opens the door and looks down. ”Pirate? Cute...here ya go kid.” The monotone woman grabs a hand full of candy and lazily tosses it in Anon’s bucket. As Lucy begins to approach for her share, again, the door closes to early. ”Wha! Again?!” Lucy bangs on the door and waits for a response. Again, the woman didn’t return. ”Come ON!” “Well...maybe you shouldn’t stand so far back behind me.” Anon suggests. ”But I’m not even! Besides, you’re my First Knight! You’re supposed to guard me!” “Well, try standing next to me at the other house.” This time, they went way to other side of the neighborhood, to the richer side, maybe the poorer half of the neighborhood was just lazy. Walking up to a rather large and fancy looking house, Anon again knocked on the door and made sure to position Lucy to be right next to him. When the door opened a teenage parasaurolophus was behind it. Looking down at the two kids he winces and rubbed the back of his neck. ”Oh. Hey there. Uh...sorry lil’ man, we ain’t got candy this year.” “What? How do you not have candy!” Anon whined. The teen shrugged. “Sorry bro. All the stores sold out pretty quick.” Anon and Lucy huffed at this. ”Hey...wait. Bro you watch One Piece?” Anon looked up at the teen. “Uhh...Yea! I’m ZORO!” Anon unsheathed his sword and held it up into the air. Lucy, hoping to be a part of Anon’s glory stepped forward in pride of her own. ”AND I AM LUCY! Pirate Princess an-” ”Well, that’s cool lil’ bro! Hey, say ‘Hi’ to Luffy and the rest of the gang huh?” And slam, the door was closed again. The kids, for the third time that night stared in shock at what had just happened. Neither of them said anything. They just walked over to the next house in awkward silence. The next house was far more festive than the last few. Surely at this house Lucy would finally be able to get the candy she deserved. Walking up to the door Anon anxiously knocked on the door and stood in anticipation for who was on the other side. When the door finally opened there was a very kind looking Anklyosaur lady behind it, covered in bandages to look like a mummy. ”Happy Halloween!” She smiled. “Trick or treat!” Anon holds out his bucket and let’s the candy fall in. ”Such a cute little pirate. Alright, have fun now!” What? As the lady was about to close the door Anon stops her by pushing on the door. ”Ah! Hey!” ”Hey! Wait lady! You forgot to give some to my friend!” The Anklyosaur raised an eyebrow and looked around her outside. “Uhm...hun. Who are you talking about?” “My friend! She’s right next to-” Anon gestured over to where he swore Lucy was a second ago only to find her not standing there. Confused, Anon started to twist his head in every direction looking for his pirate princess. What the heck? She was JUST here a second ago. Anon scratched his head thinking about where she could have wandered off too. In a state of confusion her self, the woman behind the door began to close the door again. ”Uh, have a good night little one. I hope you find your friend. Good bye!” And with a click she was gone. Narrowing his eyes Anon walked away towards the side walk attempting to see where Lucy could have gone. She was JUST here! And the house was so nice there was no way she could have missed her! Anon scanned up and down the street not being able to see her. Weird. He continued down the sidewalk calling out for her. Did she go home? Was she jealous that Anon was getting all the candy and attention and not her? That made him feel bad. Sure he wanted candy and attention but not all of it. Especially after how nice Lucy was being to him. As Anon rounded a corner he stopped once he heard sniffling coming from near a bush. Approaching it, he could spy a pair of recognizable boots. There she was! And she was...crying? The you boy approached the sobbing girl with caution. “L-lucy?” The pirate princess jumped at the mention of her name but settled down once she saw who had found her. ”Oh. It’s you. What do you want?” Anon walked over and sat next to the poor ptero. “Y-you missed the chance to get candy.” ”No I didn’t. She wouldn’t have given me candy, nor look at my costume.” “But that’s because you ran off!” Lucy scowled. ”I ran off because...because what’s the point?! No one has seen me! Nor paid attention, nor gave me any sweets! It’s like I’m lost.” She buried her snoot into her legs and sighed. Anon frowned. It wasn’t fair. He couldn’t leave her like this. She was the only person who showed him kindness tonight. He had to do something. What would a real pirate of the Big Blue do? What would Zoro do? A light bulb went off in his head and pulled out his candy bucket. Bending over he emptied most of his candy into Lucy’s bowl. Sniffing, Lucy looks up at anon incredulously. ”W-what are you doing?” “Pirates law! All treasure gathered is distributed fairly! And the captain gets the largest share.” Smiling, Anon sits next her and starts unwrapping a candy bar. Wiping her nose Lucy smiles and grabs some taffy. Opening it up she pops it into her mouth, humming in delight. ”Mmmmm. Huh?” “What is it Lucy?” Lucy begins giggling as she shows Anon the wrapper. In bold words inside the wrapper it says “You Found Me!” ”Hehehehe! Guess I’m not so lost after all!” Anon shares in Lucy’s giggles as the two of them continue to enjoy the humble bounty they had gotten themselves up to that point. Once they were sufficiently full they sat in silence for a while, just enjoying each other’s company. At a certain point though the street lights finally came on and it started to get much darker. Anon looked up and frowned. “Hey uh...Lucy?” ”Yea?” “I uh, gotta go. My parents are gonna get mad if I’m not home soon.” ”W-what? But a-are you sure?” “Yea. The street lights are on.” ”B-but, we were having fun!” “I know. We can have fun again! Just tell me where-” ”Don’t leave please!” Lucy grabs the boys hand and stares into his eyes pleading. Normally Anon, an upstanding male, would be screaming in agony having skin to skin contact with a girl who was no doubt infected with cooties. But looking into this poor girl’s pleading eyes, eyes who carried the same pain as his, alone and an out cast, churned his heart. Looking over in the direction of his street he looked back to Lucy, her face terrified of rejection. No. He couldn’t leave her here. Not like this. Not after he gave him a chance. Not after what happened tonight. Anon sighed. He was gonna get in a lot of trouble. Probably grounded. But it would be worth it. “Okay, Lucy, we can keep going a little longer.” Anon didn’t have a second to brace himself as Lucy screamed in rejoice at the top of her lungs. ”YES! YES! YES!” Lucy grabbed Anon by the hands and spun him around, nearly knocking him over. “Wahh! Lucy! Lucy! CALM DOWN!” ”Hahahahaha! Whoops, sorry! Anyways, what do you wanna do next?” Anon placed a finger on his chin, thinking about what they could do. “Well...what do YOU wanna do Lucy?” ”Hmm. Well, I dunno if I wanna try trick-or-treating again.” “That’s fair...oh! How about instead we go on a real adventure!” Lucy grinned an impossibly large smile. ”Perfect! And I know exactly where to do it! Come on! It has real critters and danger and everything!” Lucy grabs Anon by the hand and drags him to where they would be spending the rest of their night. … Lucy and Anon saunter up on the hill on the far side of the neighborhood park and take a look back to the suburbs. It was a really nice view all things considered. But they wouldn’t be here for long though. Lucy had something daring planned. Clearing her throat she looked towards her First Knight and pulled out her sword. ”Alright First Knight! Just as promised! We have to go and save you friend Loopy!” “Luffy.” ”That’s what I said. He’s been captured by pirates and they’re keeping them in there!” Using her foam sword she points towards a tree line and into the woods just adjacent to the park. Anon looks over to the dark forest and gulps. “A-are you sure? It’s pretty dark in there.” ”I’m positive Zoro. I know it maybe scary, but think of how your friend feels! We have to be brave like grown ups and go in there and save him. Are you with me First Knight?” Looking towards the tree line and then back to Lucy, Anon takes in a deep breath and unsheathes two of his swords. “I’m with you pirate princess!” Lucy nodded her head in pride and confidence. ”Very well. On ward! To adventure!” The duo march into the woods, breaking the tree line and off to go and find Luffy. The road was going to be long and fierce, but they could do it. So long as they had each other. Whilst on the path several stray insects and frogs would try to molest the sanctity of the royal buccaneer, but her most loyal and brave first knight would always be there to defend her. They eventually happen upon the marshier side of the woods and Lucy takes this opportunity to attend to her more royal duties. Hopping up onto a log, she clears her throat. ”As princess I am obligated to rule my land fairly! And to do so I must make certain royal decrees!” She accentuates her self by waving her sword around. ”My first decree! Is the outlawing of bed times.” Anon claps and whistles at this. ”My second decree! Pirates no longer have to go to school! They are MUCH to busy with collecting treasure and getting into ship battles!” “YEA! THAT’S MY PIRATE PRINCESS!” Lucy bows at Anon’s praise. ”My third and last decree! Is that desert is now legal BEFORE DINNER!” Anon erupts into thunderous applause. The merchant marauding monarch genuflects to her crowd of one and promptly hops off the log. ”Alright! Now that that is out of the way, we can continue on the final leg of our journey!” “Aye aye your highness!” Anon salutes as he marches behind his sovereign. “Where is Luffy being kept your highness?” ”It’s YE highness Zoro, and just over yonder! In the clearing beyond the tree line!” With a final salute Anon readies his weapons, keeping instep behind his mate. After a few grueling minutes through the marsh and a few icky puddles they had to walk through, they finally made it to the clearing. It was dark and quiet. There was a large tree in the middle of the opening. The two of them look around. Scanning their environment intently. They approached the tree with extreme caution. All seemed calm and still. ”Alright Zoro, Lucky should be behind that tree.” “Luffy…” ”Yea! That’s what I said!” Rolling his eyes, Anon approached the tree looking around, but he couldn’t see Luffy. What the hell where was… Oh. Anon felt like an idiot. He knew he was eight but like...it’s a cartoon character. With a sigh he sheathed his swords and went back around to tell Lucy the fictional character was no where to be seen. “He’s not here Lucy, we’ll have to-” ”AHHHH!” “Wah?! Lucy!” With an unrivaled swiftness he unsheathed both his swords and ran back out into the clearing to see who was attacking his pirate princess. A ball of fluff was approaching her at full sprint. ”Ahhhh! ZORO ZORO GET IT AWAY! AHHH!” “DON’T WORRY YE HIGHNESS I’LL PROTECT YOU!” Charging, Anon jumped in between the furry beast and his coronated captain. An opossum. A savage and feral monster “Stay away from her monster!” Anon swung his sword at the beast and missed! Scampering in between his legs, the critter pounced on Lucy. ”AHHHH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IF OOOOOOFF!” Thinking quickly, or, probably not thinking at all, Anon threw his swords to the side and grabbed the animal with both hands, yanking hard and liberating Lucy from the marsupial. The boy and vermin grappled with each other for several long and horrible moments until the opossum was able to twist itself in such away to bite Anon’s hand. “OW!!!” In the shock, Anon dropped the wild animal and it scurried off back into the woods from whence it came. Anon fell to his knees and grabbed his hand in pain. A few tears broke through as he inspected the damage. Luckily, it was only superficial, though blood was drawn. Lucy, having finally calmed down, picked her self up and rushed to Anon’s side. ”First Knight! You’re hurt!” “A-ahh, it’s...it’s nothing ye highness. Ow.” ”You...you saved me…” “What?” Anon looked over to Lucy, still waving his hand in the air to help numb the pain. ”I was attacked by a vicious monster and you saved me!” “Oh. Well. Aren’t I supposed to? I am your First Knight after all-OMPH!” Lucy grabbed Anon and wrapped him in a big hug, curling her feathers around him to bring him closer. Oh no. FULL CONTACT! FULL CONTACT! A GIRL IS MAKING FULL CONTACT! COOTIE DANGERS THROUGH THE ROOF COOTIE DANGERS…wait. As Lucy constricted Anon in the surprisingly tight hug Anon noticed that, he, in fact wasn’t dying. The hug was...actually kind of nice. And warm. What was that weird feeling in his chest? ”Thank you.” “Huh?” ”Thank you for saving me...and being there for me tonight.” Anon shrugged. “I mean...your welcome? You were being attacked why wouldn’t I help?” Lucy let go of the hug and sighed. ”I don’t know. Everyone was so mean tonight. Those kids were making fun of me too you know. Not too long ago.” Oh. ”And also, just, everyone not noticing me. Feeling lost. No one would give me candy, or pay attention to me. But then I found you! And you were amazing zo-...uhm.” Anon cocked his head to the side. “What?” Lucy giggled. “I don’t think I actually got your real name.” Really? Huh, thinking back, he only really called himself Zoro. “A-anon. My names Anon.” Lucy smiles and brings him in for another, though this time softer, hug. ”Thanks Anon. Thanks for everything.” Lucy giggles a bit more. ”Thanks for...finding me.” Referencing the candy she opened. Weird way to put it. A bit to melodramatic for Anon’s taste but, he wasn’t complaining. He just made a new friend today. Even if it was with a girl. Anon’s attention is pulled to the sky, the moon was rising. “Hey, Lucy?” ”Yea, Anon?” “It’s getting real late. Out parents are probably expecting us home soon.” ”I-I know, just...a little longer? Please?” She tightens her grip and wraps her wing around her first knight again. Anon sighed and returned the hug. ”Okay.” He whispers. “A little longer.” … Flashlights beamed through out the forest. Multiple voices calling out Anon’s name. ”ANON! ANON! ARE YOU OKAY!” A human man and a woman follow closely behind one of the sergeants, the human woman being held close in the mans arm. The officer looks behind her and asks if she’s okay. The man deadpans at the police sergeant and the sergeant cringes and looks back in front of her. They have been searching for the past hour for this human kid. He hadn’t returned from trick-or-treating and all the folks they investigated said he had run off into the woods last they seen. This was apparently very unlike him since he really didn’t like the outside that much. ”Hey sarge! I think we found something.” The human lady starts whining about her baby while the husband tries desperately to keep her calm. The raptor sergeant canters up toward the front of the party where they are gathered near the entrance to a clearing. ”What did you find corporal?” ”Over there, near the tree! Look!” The officer shines her light over to the tree and- ”Oh, thank God!” It was the kid. He was alive and well, sleeping against the tree. Wait, was that next to them. She moved the light over to the right a bit and… Wait. Was that? She had seen her around the station before, chief’s kid, but… The officer pulls out a book from her back pocket and starts to flip through the pages until she found the one she was looking for. Oh no… Lucy Aaron. Missing since October 18th, 2009. Last seen, playing in the front lawn. The raptor officer turned to the corporal. ”Corporal...call chief. Carefully walking up to the two she got a better view and, yep...it was her. Or...what was left of her. The smell was horrible. The kid was recognizable but only barely. The decomposition had to have started over a week ago. She was covered in bruises and bite marks. Part of her leg and flesh were gangrenous, her entire left thigh was missing. Insects, vermin and other critters calling any orifice they could find their new home. The worst was her face. He jaw hung open limply and maggots infested her gums. One of her eyes were missing. Anon shifted to better rest his head on his new friends shoulder. In her hands was a taffy wrapper. Probably the poor girl’s last meal. Written on the inside, “You Found Me!” [NOTES] Inspired by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaoVpVXcZsA Oh and also, Starman, you wound me.
