Now You See Me, Now You Don't

The beautiful blue skies, a cheering crowd standing on the streets and a small puff of smoke. 14 year old Aaron Silas had just concluded his magical performance infront of some town markets. As he quickly held his breath, he moved a few steps back away from the fading dust cloud before him was able to avoid contact.
"Thank you everyone, I hope you enjoyed the show!" Said Aaron.
People from the audience began continuing their business and walked back along the main dirt road. Aaron gathered his things and the little change he had made. He slipped on his messenger bag around him and started walking.
But from the corner of his eye, he spotted a little girl getting picked on by an older boy. He saw the girl was crying. Aaron walked up to them casually. The younger boy was holding a doll above her, high enough she couldn't reach. He kept on laughing, but stopped as Aaron had grabbed it from his grasp. The girl stopped crying and looked up at him. The younger boy snarled at him.
With his other hand that was free, he snapped trice infront of the young boys face and suddenly, in his hand appeared a snake! He screamed and ran away.
Aaron tightly gripped the snake and it poofed away. The little girl continued to stare at Aaron is awe.
Bending down to her height, he handed her the doll back. She was hesitant, but took it back slowly, her gaze not leaving his. Aaron smiled, he moved his hand towards her ear, tugged on her ear lobe and there in his hand appeared a beautiful red rose. The girl gasped in amazement. Aaron then placed the red flower behind her ear and stood up.
The young girl smiled widely and thanked him. His smile grew and patted her head. She ran off and he continued his way.
'Most people here are nice,' Aaron thought as he looked around the street. People were waving at him kindly. 'But there's nothing here that'll bring me closer to them . . . I have keep going.'
After some time, Aaron had made his way out of town and on a trail. He looked back and saw the town shrinking with every step he made. But as he looked up ahead, infront of him a forest began to grow. Selkia Forest was it's name.
It began to get darker, thicker, tree's were closing off the sunlight. Things began to get creepier. But that didn't bother him, he's been through many other forests and came out alive.
It became dead silent. There were no other noises but the sounds of his footsteps. Aaron took a deep breath and looked around. Nothing but tree's and bushes. He noticed his shoe was untied when he looked downward. When he bent down to tie it . . . he gulped as he saw a bush ahead of him begin to rustle.

Yes, a bush rustled, but nothing came out of it. Or so it seemed. Fleeter hung upside down from the tree like a monkey. It seems like recently all he had been doing was mimicking one. The bush was a great distraction, but nothing that Fleeter had made happen. It was probably a rat or something.

Fleeter had been watching the magician's performances, and was very captivated by his magic. Of course, he did it in secret, hidden from anyone's view. Now it was his chance to greet his idol. He wanted to learn a few tricks, and tag along if he could.

F.M. jumped onto Aaron's back, his massive arms hugged all the way around him. He didn't intend to let go any time soon. Fleeter was 3ft tall, but he had the weight of a teddy bear. He started to ramble without room for the kid to answer for he was too excited to contain himself. "Hey! What are you doing here for? Shouldn't you be in town? Where are your parents? Can I come along too? Your so cool! I watched your performances and I saw all the nifty things you did, do you think I can learn that stuff too!?" He nudged his fluffy face on his back as if he was cuddling his own teddy bear.

As the bush kept moving, Aaron slowly reached for a near by stick, before he could pick it up a squirrel had jumped out. He sighed in relief and finished tying his boot. Now before he could even stand, a shadow casted over him, it got bigger and fast. Before he could react, what ever it was had grabbed him and held him tight!
"Hey!" It said.
"Gyah! Aah!" Aaron shrieked from being startled and trying to look behind his shoulders and over his back. He quickly stood up and knew immediately that whatever was holding him wasn't human cause it felt really light, like fluff or cotton.
The creature started speaking quick. "What are you doing here for? Shouldn't you be in town? Where are your parents? Can I come along too? Your so cool! I watched your performances and I saw all the nifty things you did, do you think I can learn that stuff too!?"
"Gya! Please, just let me go if you will first!" Aaron huffed trying to catch his breath.

FM let go and and moved over to the side of him, tilting his head to the side. He smiled, so his fangs showed. But it wasn't anything to be afraid of. Compared to most demonic creatures, his were small. Besides, his silly jester costume could hardly put any fear inside a two year old. Fleeter's red eyes locked in his.

(Is it still proper game to ask before joining? I feel like I should be certain you're ready for a third player. So, is this post, this character acceptable?)

On a high branch of an old pine Elle was sitting, sleeping, his masked face tilted down with his chin against his chest. From his birdlike perch a little remaining light lit his long body, and illuminated his tattered, mended, patched-up clothing: his dull woolen poncho, his black sleeves and pants legs that fit his excessively lean form snugly--a form too thin to be human.

When a shreik from an unknown source vibrated anxiety through the dense and dark floor of the Selkia, Elle woke and titled his head up before rustling his too-dry hay-like hair with a gloved hand. Then by twisting his head from side to side silently, he found the cry's source, so he lifted his lighter-than-human form from the branch, and slipped downward into the dark, to quit the final sunlight of the day.

Aaron sighed in relief then turned around to see the very light-weight creature that had pounced on him. It was fluffy, cheery and purple. Aaron studied him for a moment, looking at it with questioning expressions, tilting his head side to side, then smiled greetingly. "Uh, l-let me start over," he stuttered, "My name's Aaron. And who did you say you were again? I'm sorry, you really caught me off guard."
