Tala sighed and continued mucking out the stall, his thoughts elsewhere. When a hand laid itself on his shoulder suddenly he jumped and yanked himself away, out of habit more than anything. Nora stood there, a worried look on her face as she stared at him.
"You alright Tala?" He nodded silently.
"Just thinking. Don't worry."
"Is it Arisa?" Tala looked up, startled, and dropped the pick. Nora slowly leaned down and picked it up before handing it back to him. "Did Arisa do anything?" Tala shook his head only to glare at Nora as she slapped him upside the head. "You are SUCH a liar! Kai told me EVERYTHING." She smirked, winking. "Nothing stays hidden from me on my farm for long Tala-kun, remember that." Tala glared at her.
"Shut up."
"Why should I? Aren't I the one Mr. Dickenson put in charge of you all what? Two? Three months ago?"
"Five. And so? What does it matter?"
"I could very easily have you, or any of you three teams, sent somewhere else with a few choice words. Do YOU want to be separated from your teammates for at LEAST a year?" Tala stared at her before growling and glaring.
"You are such a bitch." Nora beamed, performing a sweeping bow.
"Thank you! I try my hardest, I really do Tala-kun." They both looked behind them as they heard raucous laughter and Nora smirked, tackling Arisa to the ground.
"Calling her a bitch won't do a damned thing Tala, you can't possibly insult this girl right here. She's just too demented."
"I like to think of it as having serious mental problems, but demented works just fine." Grinned Nora cheekily, Arisa sighing and pushing her off her and standing, dusting her Wrangler jeans off. Nora stood and did the same. "So, to what great pleasure do I get to see you Arisa?" Arisa sighed.
"The She-Wolves need you. Bad. A gang of dancers has come to town and are challenging us to an all-out no holding back Dance-Off. They're awfully violent too. And they have twice as many dancers as us." Nora growled low in her throat and quickly called her wolves to her, ordering them all sharply to get her other charges, the wolves nodding and racing off.
"Russians! Get yalls asses over here right now!" She barked, the teens appearing from wherever it was they were and staring at her with slightly worried looks, they knew all too well what could happen when you made her mad…
"Yeah?"
"I need yall to watch out for the others and make sure they stay on the property. Oh, and tell them to stay in the damn cabin. I'm going out and I don't know when I'll be back, so I'm leaving it up to yall to keep this place up and running smoothly, understand?" They nodded.
"Yeah, but why are you leaving?" Nora frowned deeply, her eyes darkening.
"Someone's threatened my family." Is all she said as she walked out of the barn, whistling for Spirit instantly. As soon as the mustang appeared, Nora threw a blood red headstall on with black-as-night leather reigns and leapt up onto his back, Arisa waiting on her snow white horse already. She turned to the Blitzkrieg Boys and spoke. "Tell the others everything I said and tell them that if there is any objections all hell will break loose on them, if it doesn't break loose on a certain gang today." She said, kicking Spirit and taking off in a gallop with Arisa and Lightning right next to her. (a/n: Lightning is Arisa's barrel racing horse.) The four Russians shared a look before heaving a sigh and putting their picks up, explaining the situation to the other two teams and ushering them into the cabin that had become their home.

Nora stared in unnerving coolness at the furious teen before her. He was probably a year or two younger than her, the same height as her and had spiked black hair with fire red tips and brown eyes. He obviously lacked experience in the matters at hand and Nora was very easily getting under his skin with her cool remarks.
"Battle us!" He yelled, standing and shaking his fist at her furiously. Nora yawned nonchalantly before turning intense, blazing golden orbs back to him.
"No. I refuse to battle an amateur such as yourself."
"If you don't battle us then... then we'll take over your stupid farm and kill all your stupid plants!" The next thing the boy knew, his back was being slammed painfully into a rough brick wall and Nora was snarling at him hatefully, her hand around his throat as she held him off the ground and ground out right in his face, her face mere inches away from his.
"Go anywhere near my farm and I will kill you. I will not hesitate to do so and if you value your life, and your gangs' lives, then you will stay away from me and my sisters for the rest of your damn life, ya hear me son?" She snarled, glaring at him hatefully.
"Those ugly girls aren't your sisters!" That pushed Nora over the edge. Snarling in rage, she threw the boy all the way across the wide alley and leapt on him, pinning him down, and held her dangerously sharp camping knife against his throbbing throat, the boy staring up into her eyes defiantly. "They ain't sisters to you!"
"You say that again and I'll kill you faster than I kill a deer with a fucking bullet!" She roared, the boy now shaking in fear.
"Okay! Okay! I take it back! Just get that knife away from me!" He screamed, Nora slowly standing and putting her knife away. Turning cold eyes to the boy coughing on the floor she scoffed.
"You ain't worth the trouble. She-Wolves, we're leaving. If any of them mess with you I give you permission to beat the shit out of them or kill them if they do anything that could possibly harm you." She said coolly, her calmness unnerving many of the guys in the room. "They are obviously just bluffers." She turned her back to them and started to walk away only to whirl around and lash out with her knife in hand as a fist came flying her way, the cold stainless steel blade of her knife slicing through skin and bone all too easily for comfort. The tall muscular guy that had swung at her dropped to his knees as blood literally poured from his throat and onto the cold, concrete ground of the alley. A few seconds later and he was dead. Nora narrowed her eyes at the entire gang, all of which had backed away with wide eyes. "You picked the wrong Redneck to mess with boys. I tried to give you a safe exit but he obviously wouldn't take it. Leave town and never come back. Am I understood? And if you report this then I will tell the judge truthfully what happened. Especially seeing as how someone a low as you would twist it to make it look as if I had merely killed him for the hell of it. Do it. Take this to court, I dare you. I fucking DARE you to take this to court. See who will win. I've gone to court a great many times for many things, this will not faze me in the slightest." She spat, glowering at them all hatefully as she turned on her heel and stormed out of the alleyway, her 'sisters' following her calmly with snickering eyes. As soon as they were back on their horses and galloping away, Nora turned to them, her eyes dark.
"That was awesome Nora, I love the way you handled yourself back there!" Said Crystal, her silver eyes shining.
"No one speaks of this, understand? Unless it's to the cops because I've been reported for killing someone in self-defense. I don't have the money to go to court and you all know it. I'm going back to the farm, yall go home and stay there for the night, kay? And call me as soon as you get there." She ordered, the girls all nodding and stopping at the road split into multiple dirt paths.
"G'night yall, love yall."
"Love yall, bye." Nora kicked Spirit into a gallop and flew away from them, her hair and Spirit's mane and tail whipping the air behind them as they disappeared into the darkness.
------------
Nora sighed as she leapt off Spirits back and walked into the house, Spirit having already been trained to pull his headstall off and hang it up. She walked into the cabin and sighed again, leaning back into the warm embrace that she was now in.
"You alright?" Asked a voice, Nora sighing and shaking her head.
"No, a guy about the size of Bryan swung at me while I was talking to the gang leader and I killed him. I killed him Kai! He's dead!" Kai turned her around and stared her in the eyes, Nora's eyes wide and slowly filling with tears.
"It was in self-defense, right?"
"Yeah, but I still killed him!"
"Then you're alright! You don't have to worry!" Nora stared up at him, one of her tears falling. He wiped it away with his thumb quietly, Nora sighing and nodding.
"Alright. I need to talk to Mariah." Kai sighed and let her go, Nora smiling.
"Alright, I'll see you in the morning?" Nora nodded and hugged him, giving him a chaste kiss before running off to Mariah's room. Shaking his head with a quiet chuckle, Kai headed back to his room and told Tala the events, the redhead gasping.
"Wow, that's rough. She actually killed him?"
"Yeah, I don't know how just yet though. Maybe she'll tell me in the morning, you never know with her." Tala nodded.
"That's for sure."
