“You guys good?” Levi jumped not noticing him.
“Yup! Thanks to you.” And the smile on her face was lovely. Kade returned it with a grin of his own, eyes brighter than before.
“Nah, all I did was get this dummy to open his eyes.”
“God, you nearly killed me, you lug.” Levi grinned, aiming to smack him on the head, but could only reach his shoulder.
“Come‘ on lets get somethin to eat. I’m starving”
“You’re always starving!” But it was Levi that started running first to the direction of the food court.
“Wait up Levi!” Sara stumbles to chase after him.
“You sure everythin is okay?” Kade asked after her running form and she stopped.
“No, probably not,” The smile faded a bit but her eyes turned soft. “But I got you to help me, right?”
“Well, yeah.” Kade shrugged. “I can’t just leave you now, can I?” Before she could answer that they heard Levi running.
“Come on, what taking you?!” Levi was running back to them.
“Nothin you lug! Come on lets get some grub!” And it was Kade this time that went after Levi. Sara stood there for a moment with a lump burying itself in her chest as she watched.

“Of course you can, but you don’t...I wished you did, sometimes, because it’d be less trouble for you.”
Kade glanced back and grinned shaking his head softly.
“Come on Sara.”
This whole story is really confusing, they apparently live in a village related to the supernatural but we know nothing else: How long have they been together for, what is the size of the village, how is life there, what era are they living in, why exactly are stories about witches and ghosts so common there?
In short, everything's short! Put some details for our minds to do some work and allow the characters to interact with the scenario, like which tricks did the MC use to run away from the FL, did he use trees and shrubs or houses and people?
Details are important.
You’re right. I’m sorry about the shortness and lack of details, I’m trying a different style, less detail because I was told beforehand that I wrote too much about everything, and tend to trail from my planning about what’s happening.
MC didn’t use much tricks, mainly just running and unintentionally causing scenes, that’s why FL couldn’t get too close to him because she doesn’t want unwanted attention. She wants to be as normal as she can appear to be, she refuses to be less than perfect in her act, but she’s still young and isn’t as good as she thinks she is.
But the other times where there wasn’t that much people to cause a scene, he ran and hid. MC isn’t strong but he’s fast and FL can’t use magic unless she give him more reason to believe that she’s magic.
They live on the coast in a moderate size town with legends of magic people like how sailor’s have myth about mermaids. I was aiming for an ‘everyone knew about but only little kids believed’ sort of legend/ vibe. It’s not a big place so I figured that the people likes the sort because they thought it was fun and wouldn’t hurt telling the kids and the people that visited it. Helps with tourists too.
MC and FL have only recently become friends a few years back, but MC is superstitious and suspicious, not mean just childish at times and too sharp not to notice details at other times. MC is known for the former rather than the latter that’s why FL was stressed about him running because she didn’t think it would help her cover. People might think she did something to MC, and try to help but only end up with proof that she isn’t everything that they think she is. She’s magic but magic can’t fix everything, it has her limits and she has even more since she’s still learning.
The era is recently as in 20th century, sorry about any confusion, I’d like to try a different era but I’m sorely lacking the knowledge.?
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the advice. I’ll try to keep it in mind when I write future chapters.
@VinaC FL can’t use magic you mean magician!!??
