The man pounded on the store desk hard to get someone▓s attention when Moses walked out of the back room.
"Can I help you sir?" he asked behind the desk.
"This boy tried to fight the entire British army by himself I want you to put a bounty out for him the reword is $50 (that doesn▓t sound like a lot but it was back in the old days so it was a lot to them)." he said then saw Nefraya standing by Sarah. "Th-thats the guy" he said then stormed over and grabbed her wrist.
"Hay let me go." she ordered.
"I don't think so. I know several people who will pay me handsomely for you." he started pulling her out the door, when James wrapped his arms around her and yanked her out of his grasp. "Give her back, boy." He ordered "No, leave her alone■ he said with his arms still around her.
"Her? this is a boy"
James could feel Nefraya stiffen as he pulled off her hat. Long brown hair fluttered down. The man stood there in shock.
"S-sorry miss, I thought you were someone else." he said bowing then left the shop in a rush.
"Your welcome Nefraya." James said feeling proud of what he did.
"YOU IDIOT!" she yelled and elbowed him in the gut causing him to let her go and fly backwards.
"What was that for? I just saved your life." he asked a little winded.
"I didn't need your help, I could of handled it myself"
The arguing was to much for her wound, pain flushed threw her body as she fell to her knees. Moses helped her up and brought her back to the room.
"He was just protecting you Nefraya." He said in a calm reasoning tone.
"Now that someone knows what I look like it will be easy for my father to find me! So no he didn't try to protect me, that Jackass just made it worse"
"What did your father do to make you run off"
She didn't answer him instead she brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. The angry look in her eyes turned to fear. Moses new that he should leave it at that, so he smiled and changed the subject.
"You're welcome to stay here until things settle down I'm sure Sarah will lend you some of her clothes"
That brought Nefraya out of her trance like state, she looked at Moses like he had a monkey sitting on his head. "I don't wear dresses." Then Moses gave her the same funny look a girl that doesn▓t wear dresses?
Nefraya saw Sarah, James, and Henry peeking threw the door "What do you want?'" she asked her voice was cold as ice again.
"We just wanted to see if you were okay, is all." Henry said for the three of them and walked in slowly as if the room was filled with traps.
"I'm not gunna bite you." she said and stud up. ⌠I'll take you up on that offer besides I've always wanted to learn how a printing press works."
"Can I help you sir?" he asked behind the desk.
