In the moonlight.

Adahy:

"I want you to stay here and watch after Chepi. I'm going after her attacker." he looked at Marshall, who appeared to be about to protest. He raised his hand, signaling for him to stop. He stopped, looking at Adahy. He swallowed.

"Your the only person I can trust. Please. I know she'll be safe with you. If you care anything abotu me...or her, you'll do this."

Marshall hesitated before nodding. Adahy looked at him, wondering what was going through his mind.

"Thank you. I need to find Lillian." He looked at Marsahll one more time and strode off to find teh woman he cared about now. More so true than he wanted to admit.


Chepi:

Chepi awoke to fine MArshall standing over her, but her gaze was blurry. Thinkign it was her attacker, she opened her moutth to let out a scream. MArshalls hand came around her waist as he crushed her to him. He rocked back and forth, tryign to sooth her.

"It's okay Chepi, I'm here. I'm here." Chepi whimpered, lookign up at him. His face was so close.

So close...

Marshall:

Marshall swallowed hard as she looked up at him. Now was not the time to be thinking about kissing her, even though her lips spread out and her eyes searched his.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked clearing his throat a little.

"Ya." She said sheepishly leaning against his chest. It felt so right holding her close. He didn't want to let her go.

"Good."


Lillian:

Lillian walked Black towards the front of the corral and opened the gate up climbing on his back.

"Where are you going?" Adahy's voice called from behind her. She turned and looked at him hoping she didn't look like she'd been crying.

"For a run." She replied looking back forward.

"Mind if I come with you. I need to look for someone anyways."

"Sure." She said not being able to refuse more time with him.

Adahy:

His face was blank as they rode westward. Lillian seemed uneasy about the akward silence, but he was on the hunt - so to speak - for his sisters attacker. A movement to his right caused him to bring his reins in, pulling the horses' girdle to the right. Lillian pulled Black to a stop not far behind him. He guestured with his left hand for her not to make any noise. A shadow crept from the bushes. Teh twigs trembled slightly as a man well his size stepped from behind them.

"Are you looking for me?" the man asked, a smirk on his face.

Adahy inhaled sharply, his nostils flaring with anger. Lillian moved up next to him and laid a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked at her. She looked confused.

"What is he talkign about, Adahy?" He shook his head, meaning to tell her later. Turning back to confront the man, he took in another breath, to calm hisself.

"I believe I am. Are you the man who attacked my sister?" he glared down at the man.

He seemed to be lost in thought, before nodding. " I believe I am." He stepped back, his figure moving. One second he was standing before them, the next he was gone, soaring over their heads.

Adahy let out a curse and pushed teh horse into a canter, tryign to follow him. He soon lost the trail of the eagle.

Calm my child.... his guardian soothed him. His time will come.

He turned back to find Lillian, not daring to leave her alon another second.





Chepi:

Chepi sighed as her head rested in the crook of his shoudler. It felt so different, so new. It just felt....right. His hands were holding her close. he arms were around his wasit, clinging tightly. She didn't feel liek talking, she just wanted to be held.

Lillian:

Lillian looked at Adahy as he rode back.

What was he talking about? She asked black.

Ask him, I do not know.

"What was that about?" she asked Adahy.

"He attacked Chepi earlier today." Adahy replied.

"Oh." She nodded and rubbede Black's neck.

**All i had**

* i got nothing......grrr...*

****Time skip**********

:s

God I've been gone to long.....


Adahy:

Adahy sighed as he look at Lillian, curled beside him in sleep. God she was beautiful. His hand absantly trailed along her spine as he laid his cheek in her hair. He couldn't be fallign in love with her, could he?


Chepi:

:s *shrugs*

Sleeping....

***Where have you been?***

Lillian :

Lillian felt Adahy's hand on her back and she snuggled closer to him. She loved him, she knew that. But she wasn't going to say anything. She didn't want him to get in trouble, but she wanted him to love her. She rolled over and looked up at him smiling a little.

"Morning." She smiled tiredly. He smiled back.

"Morning."


Marshall:

Sleeping........

Adahy:

Adahy smiled, his cheek pressing into her hair.

"Love you." the words slipped out before he coud stop them. Lillian froze




Chepi:

Chepi awoke with a start. She laid her hand on her forehead. Looking up, she saw MArshal splayed across teh hammok. He looked uncomfortable. Getting up, she walked over to him, gnelty shakign him awake.

"Marshall. Marshal get up." his eyes fluttered open and he groaned. She looked down adn gasped. Seh wore nothing but he underclothes. Seh shireked and ran back to her bed, jumping under the covers.

Marshall sat up, shaking his head.

"I'm so..sorry...."

MArshall just stared at her, his ees blank.



*had to ass some sort opf drama *

Marshall:

"For what?" He asked rubbing his eyes as they came into focus. He blinked a few times and then laid back down groaning.

"Um....waking you up." She muttered almost as if a question.

"Oh." He ran a hand through his hair and got up. Then his mind replayed the first thing he'd seen and he knew why she was sorry. "Oh."

"What?" She demanded.

"Um, I'm gonna go get clean clothes, you...uh...better get dressed." He slipped out of the tepee his neck and ears burning.


Lillian just stared at him.

Love you. His words surprised her. She smiled softly and locked eyes with him.

"Love you too." She smiled snuggling close to him.


:S

*i know right*

Chepi:

Chepi stared at teh ceiling as he walked out of the teepee. What did she just do? SHe hurriedly got dressed and snuggled back under teh covers before he came back.


Adahy:

Adahy smiled as he heard her say those words. But deep in his heart, he knew they couldn't be together. He had to marry someone of Indian heritage to be his wife. He gazed down at Lillian, he pale skin a contrast against his darkly tanned skin. What was he going to do? He looked up st teh top of the teepee adn a thought accoured to him. Seh couldn't, coud she? He looked back at Lillian, his eyebrow arching.

"You don't happen to have Indian blood in you do you?" he peered at her, hoping.

"I'm full blood." She smiled a little. "My tribe was from up in northern part. We're light skinned. Sometime lighter skinned then whites."

"Really?" He asked in disbelief.

"Really, our tribe is differnt in ways, and not different. Some say that we are decendents of whites that just went off and started a tribe. Others say we were just that color from being decendents of the snow people way up north. No one really knows what we are. Just that we are a tribe. Just don't look like it."


***I've nothin for Marshall***

currently making my character, but i just have a small comment first. where is this all going? there isn't much crisis so you find yourselves, like on this page, caught in writers block. try to introduce some crisis, use my addition of a character as a good entry point of new information of the outside situation. this will help pick up the pace and ease transitions that are sorely needed.
