Rough Diamond

[Eilit]

"I WANT MY CAKE!" she sat up, as he shook her awake. She sat up too fast and hit her hand on the tree. "OW!" Blinking, she came to reality... slowly. "Ano... Cole... did I dream?" She looked at her tummy and pulled her shirt down. "Wow, I've got to stop sleeping like a kid."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'Yeah - you dreamt - want to tell me about it?'

 

[Eilit]

Molly shook her head. "I don't know you that well," she replied. "But I guess I can tell you a little. It's from when I was six... I got meanly bullied by... hmm... don't really remembered 'cause they whacked me in the head. Anyway, better get back to sleep. Wel, I do, a full day of tracking."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'Molly - do you trust me?'

I had to know - but I also knew I couldn't trust her

 

[Eilit]

Molly thought about it. "Well, a little. I mean, you haven't done anything bad... unless you count being a pervert earlier." She cocked her head to the side and gave him a cheeky smile.

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'a pervert? You're a fine woman Molly - I'm surprised you're not already wed!'

I blushed

 

[Eilit]

"Why thank you," she replied leaning back. Her face took a dark look. "I was supposed to, but.... things happened and I've remained alone ever since." There was a reason she became a guide and learned how to track people. "It's easier though. No one to tie me down. And I got where I please, when I please, however I please and with whoever I want. Well, still gotta check in with sis."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

I smiled 'free spirit huh - you do what you want. I like that - free as the wild animals. I envy you.'

I looked down 'and I'm sorry I touched you - I'm used to taking what I want - I shouldn't'

 

[Eilit]

"'Course. Why live in a cage?" she shrugged and let out a contented sigh. "Aw, shucks, Cole, Now yer makin' me blush. But anyone can do it." She pulled her knees to her chest. "It's alright. Next time you do it, you'll be missing a hand." Molly tilted her hand to the side.

 

[DorsetCatMan]

I smiled - 'from what I felt that may be wrth it'

then laughed - 'OK - deal, suns up what we doing?'

 

[Eilit]

Molly raised an eyebrow.

"You will be resting until your leg heals. I am going to go outside and make sure we weren't followed," she said and crawled out of the tree.

 

[DorsetCatMan]

I sat waiting, nothing to do but hope and wait. My guns were cleaned, and ammunition ready in short order, then I just waited for Molly

 

[Eilit]

Molly took her time, inspecting every little disturbance. Hm, looked as though they were first. Her body didn't relax though. She knew that Will had the actual advantage here. They had to go in shifts, and he could come from anywhere. This worried here. Hopefully, the booby traps still worked. She stood up feeling eyes on her.

 

[DorsetCatMan]

She was gone a while - I started to hope she would return with food - and that we had arranged signals of some sort for her return

 

[Eilit]

Molly wiggled back in with some food in her arms. She dropped them next to the man, standing at her full height. "Ano, I figured you'd be hungry and I brought stuff."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'thank you maam - care to join me?' I smiled 'see anything?'

 

[Eilit]

"Sure, but I ain't hungry," she said and sat next to him, crossing her legs. She put her chin on her knees. "Nothing really."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'maybe we've lost him for now.' I ate the food - 'sure you're not hungry Molly?'

'so we're stuck out here - we gotta do something - talk to me - what are your dreams, your wishes Molly?'

 

[Eilit]

"Maybe," she said, closing her eyes. "Or maybe he's playing cat and mouse with us. And I'm pretty sure I'm not hungry. I don't eat things when I don't know what they are." She smiled wickedly at him.

"I don't need dreams or wishes," she said stretching her arms out. "I got my sister. That's enough for me."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'well - I'm jealous of you Molly. I'd love a life where I don't need or want. How about a man - you got plans?'

 

[Eilit]

"Don't be," she replied. "Not everyone can lead the life I do." She opened one eye. "You gotta be small and fast." She paused, thinking about it. "No... never had one after him. I guess I don't need one anymore. Maybe I'll invest in a forgien mail-order husband and help him get on his feet before breaking it off. Sounds good, no?"

 

[DorsetCatMan]

'you have a cold heart Molly - shame I can't wrm it. Or maybe you need breaking?' I laughed

 

[Eilit]

Molly hit him lightly. "It ain't cold or in need of breaking," she laughed along with him. "It's perfectly fine, thank you."

 

[DorsetCatMan]

I smiled 'careful Molly a man could fall for you...'

 

[Eilit]

"Pssh, I'd feel bad for the guy," she replied, waving her hand. "I'm much to manly to be handled. My sister usually gets them though."
