Warning! F-Word in one sentence!
Chapter 53: Either One, or All
Morning . . . Weed
Jane was cuddled up to Weed. It was a cold night. Weed awakened to find her head on his shoulder. Weed didn't mind, he woke her up. She yawned and stretched, as Weed stared in the distance to see how close they were at the Gorge.
"Are we There!" Jane yawn again. Stretching her back legs.
"I wish. But we may make it there today." Weed said confidently. "Have Faith."
"Nope!" Jane said rolling on her back. "No Faith. It'll take years to get There!" She said sarcastically. "At least it feels like it."
"I have a feeling that this could be the day Jane." He walked up and sat next to her. Laying herself on her back listening. "What can I expect."
"That HE . . . believe it or not. Is a man with his word. He never goes out on a promise." Jane said sitting up. "You can trust that he won't go after your pack."
"No I can't. I need proof that he won't go after anyone."
"He won't kill kids. Nor women. Even if he attacked, you'd see them there with them. Making Slaves out of them. He hasn't done that because a few packs cooperated well with them."
"How do you know."
Jane was silent for a while. She sighed.
"I was one of them. Me and Misty." Jane stood in a corner. "We were given away, so Spike can leave my old pack alone. Spike said He'd leave them alone if he either takes the leader, or give someone, anyone away. Either One or All."
"He gave you two away to protect themselves." Weed asked.
"Kinda. Misty was chosen, I wanted to reconsider with them but they weren't haveing any of that. So I went with her. But my old group was setting a trap. Spike left them alone for weeks and weeks. But than my old pack wanted to liberate us. Take us back. But suddenly. It was too late. They all failed. And I don't want the same for Gin. He wants you. One or All."
"So, he never wanted to come back and betray them, and take who and whatever? He never came back to turn on them?"
"No."
Weed thought about it, he believes Jane is telling the truth. Though if she is. The others don't know this. Not Gin, Akame, G.B. No one. How can Weed do this without a Liberation given by Gin.
"We need to tell my father." Weed suggested.
"What?"
"He won't believe you, nor will anyone else. You took me away from them, and you'd expect any of them to believe what you say. They'll put themselves in danger."
"Y-You're right. Damn, we have no time. It took long to get here. It'll take long to go back. Unless they . . . Decided to send a pack to find us."
Weed paced, Jane sat down.
"They trusted Jerome right?" Jane asked.
"Correct." Weed said.
"What if it came from him." Jane said.
"No. Jerome wouldn't leave me. He wouldn't even allow this."
"Than we can't do anything. We can't wait and hope someone followed us. We have a Dead Line."
"Let's Wait. Maybe they sent a pack long before anyone. Someone had to have followed us."
"Sigh, okay, we'll give it a full day. If they don't come. We make the exchange, and the message comes from Jerome."
"Of course."
Weed and Jane sat together and waited.
Hours later, Just past noon. . . ..
Weed still seated in the same spot. Jane pacing and pacing.
Weed still seated minutes later. Jane laying on her back napping.
Later that hour. Weed is dozing to the point he's about to yell, Jane left to find food. She tossed a bird at Weed and it landed between his legs.
"Found food!" Jane said walking up.
"It took us a few days to get here, maybe they found out later and than . . . No that wouldn't . . . SHIT!" Weed finally lost his temper.
"Hey! Be quiet! Spikes men might be around!" Jane calmed him down.
"I Know. I know. I just . . . I don't wanna lose anyone. Not even Jerome. I wish you told me this from the start. Told all of us from the start, instead of lying to us." Weed said.
"Do you think I wanted to keep it from you?!"
"Well you sure didn't want to tell us anything for a while, even Jerome. I always thought that he was dead. I kept that guilt forever, in my heart, mind, soul. I kept feeling defeated every day."
"Weed."
"Is there more stuff you want to get off your chest while your at it."
"Weed."
"Is Hakuro really dead?! Did you love Akame, or have you been faking the whole time?! I your name even Jane?! Is Misty even your sister?!" Jane knocked him on the ground and she stood above him baring her teeth.
"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!" Jane cursed.
Weed was shocked to be threatened like this. Jane cried, but she was more angry. She didn't care that she swore, she didn't feel so threatening before in her life.
"Jane?" Weed said. Tears fell down her face, she got off of him.
"They're not coming Weed. Let's just go." Jane said breathing slowly. Weed got up and walked with her. "I . . . I wasn't going to hurt you."
"I know." Weed said.
To be continued . . .
Note: hope you enjoyed! Super Sorry about the profanity in the end. I left a warning in the beginning in case you missed. It seemed necessary to have at the time.
Sneak peek: Chapter 54
Here is a sneak peek at the next chapter, just to make up for lack of updates.
"Did you see that?" Ram said beside Jerome.
"What?" Lydia asked.
"Their is something in the woods." Ram walked down to see. Max and the others stayed back. However Max saw what no one else could see.
"RAM! Come Back!" Maxime yelled.
I'm afraid that's all. Please stay tuned.
