Stuck: The sequel part one...
Hello again. Yes, this is the sequel, just as I promised. Before we start though, I would just like to mention that I do not own any of these characters. I lost them gambling to the BBC before series 1 started, and well, now I own none of them... Anyway, this chapter 1 takes place a few weeks after 'stuck'. Enjoy...
Djaq was lay by the fire, with Will using himself as a rest to support her. They were thinking, just thinking of the one they had both lost.
After the fight outside the smoking camp, everyone, although preoccupied with Djaq, left her in Will and Matilda's care and went searching for their missing friend Alan. They never found him, and assumed his body had been ungraciously dragged out of the forest by Gisbourne, and the two men of his who had managed to escape. They could not tell Djaq, and yet in a sense, they had to. She had been closest to him, with the exception of Will. Who knew how she would react when she found out that they had purposely not told her? The answer was not very well.
'How could you have not told me?' She was shouting at the group, but the way she kept looking back at him, suggested that the speech that was to come was aimed mainly at Will, 'He was one of my closest friends, and you could not even have the decency to tell me what had happened to him.' Tears were streaming quickly down her face, not only for her friend, but also for the deceit the man she had thought she loved had shown. Will went to say something to her, but she was too quick and cut him off. 'Don't you dare say that this will be alright Will Scarlett, because it will not. How can it be?' She was sobbing, and Will pulled her into his chest, holding her tightly. 'How could you not tell me? He died alone, without us with him. I didn't even get to say goodbye.' The last part was a whisper, but the anger soon got the better of her, and she began hammering on his chest. 'I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE!' And with that, Djaq wriggled from Will's strong grasp, and stormed out of the temporary camp the group were staying at. All Will could do was watch after her as she walked away from him.
Just as Will went to follow her, John rested one of his large hands on the youg mans shoulder.
'Give her some time Will. She needs to get used to all of this. Just give her a bit to calm down.' Will knew that what the man said was true. Djaq was strong, but whenever the emotions in her finally surfaced, she alwas needed time to calm down. She was so unused to them. He sat down. He was going to ask her tonight, but somehow he had gone from being happy at finally asking her, to worried about even thinking such an idea. He sat on a nearby log, and wondered when he would eventually tell her, how, and if he would ever again have built up the courage to ask her the one question that was never out of his mind.
So that's it, the first chapter of the sequel. If anyone has any ideas for it, then just post them on the reviews bit. I'd love to hear what you think. 10 reviews for chapter 2...
