Hunted 2 *Not accepting*

TARRION

"Um Tarrion?" Sahp asked, her voice edged in concern. I turned to her and she pointed at a now awake Kyle. Already? "What are we going to do?"

I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose between my thumb and index finger. "Tie him to a tree or something. He is not getting into the tent." I turned to the others. "I might need some help." Why didn't I just kill the little slug and get it over with? He didn't deserve any better. Because you can't. I smirked. "With any luck he'll get picked up the Supervisors and we can live in peace."

That earned me a few skeptic glances, but he was most certainly on my bad side. My bad side was not a place you wanted to be, especially if you're hurting my family and the girl I loved.

Logan sighed. "To a tree?"

"Doesn't look like there are many other places to tie him, and we don't really have a shortage of trees. I don't care if we have to build him a cage, he's not getting into the tent."

"What about the beasts? Or the wolves?" Gemma asked.

I shook my head. "We haven't seen any in a while." But what if? "We'll think of something. For now he's getting tied to a tree. Tightly."

Matt

"I'll help take care of that," I said. "Exactly what are we using as rope?"

"I have some here. It was used to make an extra tent, but... well, it's not needed anymore," Gemma said, handing it to me, and avoiding eye contact slightly.

I walked up to the jerk and said, slowly and straightforward, "I'm going to tie you to a tree. If you try anything, you're dead. You should be dead already, you're lucky we aren't killers," I added. "So are you going to cooperate or are we going to have to use force?"

KYLE

Retard. Did he honestly think i would co-operate with getting tied to a tree? Maybe i could fool him. That freak was hanging off MY girl. I would get her back, he would suffer.
"I'll behave." I muttered out. When he propped me against the tree, i decided it would just be better to listen, my leg was killing me now. I could hardly make out anything that was happening. I involuntarily groaned in pain when i moved my leg. All i could do for now was plot my revenge.

DOMI

I clung to tarrion, there was no way i was leaving his side for a while. He hugged me tightly to him as well. I watched as Matt and Logan tied him to the tree, the pain had finally caught up with him. Hearing him groan in pain confirmed my suspicion. I looked up at tarrion.
"Can we go inside, i don't want to be around him." He smiled down at me and kissed my forehead.
"He can't hurt you, he's tied to a tree." He glared at kyle. I tightened grip.
"Don't underestimate him." I said in a warning tone.

Wren

"Shouldn't we have a guard or something?" I asked quietly.

Logan nodded quickly. "I can guard," he said hurriedly. "I have no problem with that."

Matt nodded vigorously in agreement, his eyes flickering towards Gemma then back towards Kyle.

"I don't think he can do anything now, let's not," Tarrion said. His eyes were saying, A guard will just scare Domi into thinking he's going to escape. Give it a rest.

I nodded reluctantly. Logan walked up to keep stride with me as we walked back towards the clearing, and Matt nervously walked beside Gemma.

~Annie May~

I could feel myself slipping away into the darkness that pulled at me. I didn't want to die anymore. I had a family that loved me now, and I didn't want to lose them. A lot of things ran through my head at that moment. Mostly my past, then a few memories from the past few weeks here. It was a nice thing to have a family.

I remembered maybe two weeks ago, when I'd saved them the first time. They had wanted me to stay. Tar had even followed me and stopped me, telling me I'd stay. I really didn't want to, but now I was glad I had.

Then, I remembered the day most of this started. When I'd been in the river and I'd heard the helicopter above me. I remembered how I felt when I found myself tied down. I remembered Tar's face when I told him he'd jump while I stayed to fight. Stupidest action yet.

Then, my latest stunt. Kicking that psycho out there. That hurt too, but not as bad as getting stabbed. He broke my leg, but that was easier to fix. It would heal and it didn't need stitches. He probably broke my ankle too, but I couldn't feel any of it anymore. My whole body was numb, which was a very good thing while it lasted.

TARRION

A guard was probably smart, but it would scare the crap out of Domi. We walked back to the tent in silence and stepped inside. I stared sadly at Saph and Annie. "How is she?" I murmered.

Saphire looked up at me wearily. "Not so good."

I sighed, holding back my emotions. Kyle had caused one too many problems. "You know what I think?" I asked, clearing my throat.

Everybody turned their heads to me and I was encouraged to continue. "I think we need to organize ourselves a bit more. Build a few different huts and shelters, go on a little hunt for a few more chickens, build a decent coop for them. Things like that." I glanced at Shalo, who was staring intently at me. I had really neglected the poor thing the past few days.

"How do we do that? We've got a lot to worry about right now," Logan replied softly.

"Exactly my point. First thing first though, getting Annie back on her feet and making sure Kyle's put into place." I kissed Domi's head, trying to sort through my thoughts. They were everywhere, completely scattered. With any luck the beasts and wolves would come back and finish Kyle off.

KYLE

Great, i was stuck to a tree for now. I hate smart people. It was always harder to get even with them. I would tie the two problems together. I would crush him using Dominique. I wiggled my arms, the ropes were loose enough to break. I would wait, let then build up the camp, then take it. Less work for me right? I looked up at dominique, my eyes trailing down her body. Oh yes, she would be mine, and i would hurt anyone who tried to stop me.

DOMI

I looked up to tarrion.
"That is a wonderful idea. We should get more food coming in first. We have a shelter that's good enough for now." I looked at everyone else. They all looked like they agree. "Besides, the chicken might be getting lonely."
"I'll get to work on a chicken coop then." He let me go, giving me one last peck on the lips.
"I'm going chicken hunting, could someone come will me?"

TARRION

I smiled at Domi and stole another glance at Saphire and Annie. I prayed she would be alright, she had to live through this. I stepped outside and eyed Kyle curiously. He had this smug expression on his face that made me shudder. I put a hand to my pocket to be sure my gun was still in place and started towards the trees.

It was amazing that this place had vines. A blessing in duguise. I pulled some off of a tree and gathered up a few sticks before setting to work.


SAMANTHA JONES

I glared at the man, Mark. "What do you mean she's dead?" I hissed.

"The girl, Annie-May, she killed her. She's dead," he answered, backing up.

I shook my head. These teenagers were either all dead or all a major problem. And to think that our plan was just going to burrst into action. This would never do, no it would never do. I stared at the computer screens lining the wall. Nobody had stepped foot into the little trap yet.

"Well she's obviously threat number one. Did you say she was stabbed?"

Mark nodded. "She got the girl pretty good. She needs immediate medical attention."

I grinned. "Good. Let her suffer. I think it's time to send in supply package number one. Leave it somewhere they'll come across, but don't let them see you. Oh, and the beasts and the wolves are going to be released again. Not yet, but soon." I clasped my hands behind my back and grinned. "Week four. Almost the end of month one. Things are going to get heated, Mark. Do you know why?"

Mark shook his head and took a step backwards.

My grin broadened. "Because it's time to mess around, Mark. It's time to break them."

DOMI

Gemma came with me. I thought i heard something, but i didn't. I still looked back at her.
"Stay extremely quiet, this is where i found the last one." I heard a gentle clucking. I knew we were getting close. I stumbled a few steps, but gemma caught me before i fell.
"Be careful." She warned, i nodded and continued. I heard something moving in the bushes. Gemma pushed the bushes and we found at least seven chickens in nests. I counted them, ya seven and eggs to! The clucked at us and become wary. I went around one side of them, and she went around the other. We took off our sweaters, to use them like nets. I whispered.
"One...Two..Three GO!" we dove, two chickens managed to escape us. The others thrashed violently in our sweaters. She had three, i had two. We put them into my sweater, because mine was bigger. We put the eggs in hers.
"We can come back for the other two later, we've been out here for a while, so they should be done the coop." She nodded and we headed back.

Saphire
I sighed and poked a stick into the boiling pot of witch hazel paste. "Annie come over her." I called. She came over looking skeptic. I told her to lay down and she did. I smeared the paste on the strips of my shirt and wrapped them around her sides as tightly as I could with out causing her too much pain. "Ok please try to move as little as possible." I stated calmly. She nodded and walked away.

>Annie can't move because her leg is broken, and she can't open her eyes because she's so near death. But that's OK!<

TARRION

I stepped back and grinned at my creation. It wasn't so bad, a rough shelter for the chickens and a nice, tall, sturdy fence. At least now they could run around a bit. I tested the door, wincing. That was the only bad part of this stupid coop. The door seemed impossible, it just didn't want to cooperate with me. It twisted and fell to the ground. "Oh come on!" I muttered, picking it up.

I stared at the hole for a moment, contemplating on what to do. There had to be something that would work. Maybe if I made it into some sort of a flap rather than a door that slid open... I sighed. That would have to do. We'd just put a rock infront of it so that the chickens couldn't push it open.

"Tar! We found them!" Domi shouted from behind me.

I turned around and smiled. She was carrying a squirming blanket in her hands. Clucking filled the air. Those poor little things. "Bring 'em over! I'll need you to keep an eye on them while I finish up the door though."

Domi and Gemma ran up to me, grinning. "Nicely done Tar," Gemma commented, nodding her head. "I'm going to go put these inside."

"What are they? Eggs?" I asked, licking my lips.

Gemma laughed and nodded before turning and going back to the tent.

I grinned and moved out of the way so that Domi could put the chickens in the coop. She crawled in behind them, blocking the way out. "You might want to hurry with that door."

I nodded. "I've got an idea. I'll be back in two seconds." I stole a glance at Kyle, who was glaring intently at me. I slipped into the bushes, not removing my eyes from him and grabbed a vine and a willow branch before moving back to Domi and putting the door together.

DOMI

I sat there and waited for him. Trying to ignore the glare Kyle had set on me. I watched the chickens calm down and try and get a grip on their surroundings. When he spoke i nearly jumped out of my skin.
"You know I'm going to win." I looked up at him. He went back to staring intently. I shook my head, and went back to watching the chickens.
"I won't let you hurt him, even if it means letting you have me." He shut up when tarr got back. Tarr put on the door, then held out his hand to help me up. I took it and pulled myself up. He pulled me towards him and i giggled. I kissed his lips, letting my common sense go again. I kissed him again, and again.

KYLE

She sat there, watching the chickens. I just kept staring at her, how did she slip through my fingers? I wiggled a little, and returned to looking at her.
"You know I'm going to win." I stared at her as she turned her head to me. She shook her head and looked back over at the dumb birds.
"I won't let you hurt him, even if it means letting you have me." I smiled, I had her, all i had to do was threaten him some how, not an idle threat. A real threat, hold him in a choke hold, and she'll give in. He put the door on and helped her up. She started kissing him, i felt a growl building in my throat.

TARRION

I grinned and grabbed Domi's hands, placing them around my waist. Kyle was obviously pissed, but I'd let him suffer. Domi was mine and mine alone. If he touched her I'd blow his head off and that was that. Muscle doesn't beat a bullet flying at your head. I wrapped my own arms around Domi's waist and pulled her into me, kissing her hard. Let Kyle squirm a little.

Yeah Kyle, she went for the freak with a limp and hypoglociemia. The one with the over-protective side and will shoot you without a second thought if you dare touch her. She's mine Kyle. Suffer for what you did to her. I pulled back and smiled at her. Dang, she was beautiful.

I turned and smirked at Kyle, winking before turning back to Domi. "I suppose this sort of screws the party huh?"

Saphire
I heard Tarrion mention something about the party being screwed and I ran saying no as fast as I could. "The party is on no matterr the stupid head." I said my voice irritated waving a hand at Kyle dismissively.
