Just watched Gone with the Wind again last night. It was amazing. For the first time ever, I literally squealed so loud and screamed every time Rhett came up. I love Clark Gable! He is so fine and my gosh Scarlett really really lost a terrific guy! Anyway other than my crazy love for Rhett Butler now, I also realized I have a lot of mistakes on here - also mentioning the grammar too. Like I know somebody mentioned in a review how Eungenie was named Bonnie Blue from Mellie not Rhett, and Scarlett is Catholic not a Baptist. Well, I still mean what I said in my other author's letter that this is a fanfiction and I'm not perfect. But I will try to go back and fix it - if I could ever make myself to do that- I promise I will..Maybe like when I'm close to finishing this story. Any hoo, enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you all!

When we arrived, Rhett pulled the reins to stop the horse. Tommy ran toward us and took hold of the reins. Rhett jumped off the horse and lifted me up gently down on my feet. But before he carried me in his arms and took off into the house, I took his arm to stop him. "Rhett, hang on."

He placed a gentle hand on my back and gave me a concerned look. "What's wrong? Do you feel unwell?"

I shook my head. "No, darling. I'm fine. Can you just..can you just promise me you won't say a word until we go in our rooms?"

"What?"

"Please, Rhett. Bonnie is in the house. She'll suspect something different if I walk in looking like this. She's still young, Rhett. She just doesn't understand everything yet."

"If its Bonnie you're worried about, I'll take care of it."

"No, Rhett. I'll do it. I for once have to try to make things right for the little one...You had been covering the truth to her for years. Its time..Its time I take the risk and do the same, Rhett. Remember, you're not the only parent. I'm still here."

"Scarlett."

"Just don't say a word."

He did as I asked when we walked in the room. As expected, Bonnie was curious of my poor attire, Rhett's coat covered the backside that's torn, but the filthy soot and dirt are all powdered on every end of my dress including on my face. She approached me and her little hands took mine. "Mother, why do you look like that? What happened?"

"Oh its nothing, dearest. I was going for a walk you see, but I accidentally tripped on a rock and ended up rolling over a steeped hill. Thankfully, I'm not hurt. But oh..I'm sorry but I'm very tired, so why don't you run along and take your father with you. Mommy needs some sleep right now."

"Alright, mother. Are you sure you'll be okay?"

I bend down on my knees and leaned in to her tiny little face. "Positive, little one. Now give your mother a big kiss before you go."

She smiled and gave me a peck on the lips. I released her hand as my little star rushed over to her father. Rhett looked straight at me and was ready to protest. I quickly stood up and stopped him before he can say anything. "Go on now, Rhett. Our darling Bonnie wants to play."

"Scarlett."

"Just go, Rhett. I'll be in my room. Mammy is enough help, I don't need you there also."

"Scarlett I am not going to leave you alone."

"We'll talk when you come back from horse riding. I'm sure Bonnie still has a lot to learn before you can think of any plans to transform her to the best rider in the south."

Bonnie took his hand and playfully pulled him down with all the strength she had. "Come on, daddy. I want to go ride my pony."

I waved a quick goodbye to them both. "Have fun. Mammy! Mammy, can you please come to my room?!"

I walked as fast as I can up to the stairway, clutching tightly on both ends of Rhett's coat. Fortunately, Rhett didn't call out my name or ran after me. I can't let Rhett see me right now, especially when Bonnie is in the house. Oh Lord if he ever sees the bruises on me, he certainly will not hesitate to march back to town to handle Andrew. It was hard enough to watch him beat Andrew so horribly. I have seen men fight vigorously before, but for Rhett it was different. I never witnessed such rage and such a beastly anger...But..Huh. Is it wrong for me to also say how flattered I felt for such a man to fight for me? No one has ever defended me like that ever before. Of course, living as a single daughter back in Louisiana wasn't exactly a wild and exciting life. But although it is not exactly the best experience to see Rhett behave that way, I am still proud to say I'm glad he gave the treatment Andrew deserved. All this hate I had inside my chest for Andrew never left me, instead expanded throughout myself, and I grew to hate that feeling even more. But when I saw Rhett hurt him, make him suffer such great agony, part of me was taken back by his actions yet also there was this relief I felt in the pit of my stomach - just knowing that even though I myself can't give such pain to that man, I still have someone to protect me from him.

~ Mammy lighted the candles on the silver bulk candleholders that still dazzled with heavy chandeliers. I remained in bed and laid their tirelessly. Mammy was kind enough to turn up the heat in the fireplace and closed the curtains to help me rest. But so far, I remained with open eyes from the pass hour. I could hear so clearly Bonnie laughing and horse's trotting just outside. I'm glad that Rhett is playing along with this. The last thing both of us need is for our dearest Bonnie to be worried about me.

Mammy blew the lighted match away and went over to me. "Miss Scarlett, why won't yo rest? Yo been doing nothin' but lyin' down 'n that bed."

"I'm not tired, Mammy. Huh...I think I just need to be alone right now. Please go downstairs and prepare some refreshments for Rhett and Bonnie; I'm sure they're thirtsy by now."

"Aidn't yo goin' to tell me what really happen to yo?"

"I told the whole incident to Bonnie, now do you want me to tell you the same exact story again?"

"Oh please, chile. That all a lie. I 'ould know, I known yo since yo born after all. Now go on, tell me the whole truth."

I slipped deeper in the covers and turned to the other side. "I'm too tired to talk. I'm sorry Mammy. Perhaps tomorrow."

"So you aidn't going to tell me? Hmgh. Fine. Have some plenty rest. Aight?" She turned around and went straight out the door.

It doesn't end here guys. But I was typing as fast as I can from the pass twenty seven minutes, so I can't type another chapter right now. I hope you guys stay tuned to the next chapter, even though most of you are enjoying delicious plates of food. For me, my family and I are leaving town to just hang out to this..Oh crap I forgot where we're going...Anyway we're going somewhere really far to spend some quality time together. I hope you guys are really patient because I am most certainly going to type the other chapter today if its the last thing I have to do. Lots of love and hugs. And again Happy Thanksgiving and don't be scared to eat too much, eat as much as you want.
