Guilt

Guilt

By: Lady MR

Marguerite was having a bad dream, which, as usual, she couldn't remember.  She only remembered the feeling of fright, and since she absolutely hated feeling that, this wasn't going to be a good morning.

Challenger was just serving breakfast, when Marguerite came out of her room.

Everyone saw irritated this morning she was.

"Someone woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning." John Roxton stated.

"Oh, do shut up Roxton.  You call yourself a gentleman, and yet you have the manners of a cow!" Marguerite said crossly, not seeing the hurt look on his face.  She looked at her breakfast of raptor meat in disgust and took a big bite, drank the water and got up.

"Well you certainly don't eat like a lady so look how's talking." Roxton said, obviously getting mad.

"We're not in London Roxton, I can behave as badly as I want!!" Marguerite practically shouted, as she got her gun and hat and stepped into the elevator. Roxton stood up.

"Wait a minute," Roxton grabbed her wrist, "You are not going alone, I'm coming with you."

"Don't tell me what to do, I don't need your help," Marguerite said as Roxton dragged her to get his gun and hat. "I can go alone, without your help thank you!!" said Marguerite as she pulled out her wrist from his grasp and walked the elevator.  Roxton immediately followed.  She glared at him and crossed her arms.  Roxton said and did nothing.

Veronica, Ned, and Challenger sat there amazed at Marguerite's rage.

"Wow, Marguerite's temper was really bad this morning, I wonder, If it's something to do with a dream she had last night" Pondered Challenger.

"Yah, she probably dreamed about Roxton and liked it.  And is now mad at herself for having dreamt it." Ned said

The group laughed at that.

Marguerite walked in front of Roxton all the way to the pond, making it a point, she didn't want to talk.

Roxton let her cool off, he knew if he said one word, Marguerite would never calm down.

Roxton turned around to stand guard and heard as Marguerite took off her clothes and jumped in without a second thought.  Roxton smiled at that.  Marguerite was soon done and standing by his side (fully dressed).

"Better my dear?" he asked.

"Much" came the reply as she started to walk back to the tree house.

Before they even got there, Roxton shouted, "Who's there?" and raised his gun toward whatever sound he heard.

Sorry of the shortness of it. J J
