"Who are we calling tonight?" Mal questioned, the lot of them lounged in the loft as Evie sat next to her closely, examining her fingers as she worriedly noted the chipped nail polish.
"Eh, I'll call Harry, and be the martyr," Uma volunteered, grabbing the puppy's head in both hands and ruffling her ears fondly before reaching for her phone.
"Oh, yes, because you are definitely the queen of self-sacrifice," Mal sarcastically remarked, and Uma just offered her a big grin, pointing a finger gun at her as she started to look through the notifications on her phone before she made the call.
"M, look at my nails," Evie pointed out finally, looping one arm around Mal and pressing her cheek against Mal's own as she exhibited her fingers for Mal to view.
"Wow," Mal bluntly spoke, not really too horrified but simply responding to the bluenette as she rested her head against Evie's.
"They're horrid!" Evie cried, and Mal nodded slowly.
"Terrible."
"I'm getting the feeling that you are being insincere," Evie turned her gaze to Mal's, and Mal simply snorted at her in response.
"It's just fingernails."
"M, you're a nail-biter, so you don't understand," Evie chuckled, and Mal raised an eyebrow as she pulled away from Evie slightly.
"That's a little discriminatory," Mal remarked offhandedly, and Evie huffed somewhere in between amusement and exasperation with Mal's unimpressed emotions toward her hopeless plight.
"Audrey, girl, help me explain this," Evie desperately requested for help, but Audrey wasn't really listening. Evie called her name once again, and Audrey was pulled from her thoughts just enough to know that Evie was arguing some point or another with Mal. Audrey rolled her eyes, giving her verdict.
"Evie's right and you're wrong. However, Evie's probably getting too emotionally invested in her rightness," Audrey simply added in her input, and Evie was somewhere between grateful and offended.
Audrey would have normally contributed more to the conversation, but she was currently too absorbed in what had happened earlier that day. Ever since that blasted goose had pickpocketed her and stole her prized sunglasses, Audrey had been thinking of him nonstop. However, she could never make a move to look for him or even bring it up because she knew how relentlessly that she would be picked on by Uma and Mal.
However, she did have a plan. As soon as all of the other girls fell asleep, Audrey would go outside and find that goose, and steal her sunglasses back. That way, there'd be no humiliation, and no more worrying.
"Okay, calling now," Uma announced, and she dialed Harry's number, the puppy jumping over her legs and curling behind her as it gnawed on her hair, pulling it a little. Uma just gazed at it fondly, pulling her tresses away from the pup's eager mouth, and turned her eyes back to the phone.
Suddenly, the face of Harry Hook popped up on the screen. As soon as he laid his eyes upon her, he lit up in a smirk with a raised eyebrow.
"Ahoy, Cap'n."
"There's that ugly mug I haven't seen for three days and most of another one," Uma commented sarcastically, and Harry poked his lip out at her dramatically, furrowing his brow with mock hurt.
"Aww… Ye know ye've been missin' me," Harry proclaimed, and Uma rolled her eyes before suddenly laughing as the puppy sat up behind her and started licking and biting at her ear. Uma reached for the pup, maneuvering it on the side that was nearest to Harry.
"Not really. I've found someone else to take your place," Uma informed him with a slight laugh, her hand resting on the pup's soft-furred head.
"Ye've replaced me already, eh?! I shoulda known t'was all a lie!" Harry cried, draping a hand over his forehead, and Uma felt the overwhelming urge to playfully smack him. However, she couldn't do so through the phone, of course, which was quite disappointing.
"Yeah, yeah, calm down some, Hook," Uma told him, stroking the puppy that was curled into her so happily.
Audrey zoned out at that point, hoping and praying and wishing more than anything that the pirate captain would just hang up already and get to bed.
She needed those sunglasses. They were special designer glasses, and they were her favorite pair. They were one of the few material items in her life that she could not replace.
"I assume yer at the farm, unless ye picked up the wee rat on the side of the road," Harry pointed out, obviously questioning whether Uma was still really at the farm. Audrey rolled her eyes, biting back a response of her own as she looked at the pile of hay not too far away. Of course they were still there. Couldn't the moron see that Uma was in a barn backdrop.
"Are you doubting me?" Uma questioned, raising an eyebrow as she attempted to look haughty.
"Ne'er. But for the sake of, eh…. Research, show me the place," Harry informed her, his hook coming into view as he gestured. Uma just glared at him for a moment, before letting out a puff of air.
"When I get home, you're getting your butt kicked," Uma threatened, her tone harsh but her eyes somewhat softer to indicate her lack of seriousness surrounding the subject.
"I'll be lookin' forward to it," Harry flirted, winking at her, and Uma rolled her eyes before turning the camera.
"They got ye sleepin' in a barn?!" Harry cried, and started to giggle hysterically, and Uma cut her eyes over at him with only mild irritation.
"Oh, shut up. You are the one that slept in a shed one time," Uma told him, raising an eyebrow, and Harry nodded, quieting a little.
"Yeah… I s'pose so."
"Uma?" a voice sounded off, and Uma resisted the urge to chuckle at the utterly annoyed look on Harry's face.
"Uma?! Oh, Uma! Hi!" Gil suddenly greeted, his face barely entering the range of the camera before Harry put his hand on the boy's head and shoved him away.
"Oi, get on now! I'm tryin' to talk to me lady. Don't be interruptin', ye scallywag! Ye'll 'ave yer turn soon enough!" Harry proclaimed, and Gil protested in a whine. Uma just chuckled at the two, shaking her head.
"You could be a little nicer to him," Uma informed the Hook boy, and Harry just shrugged, throwing Gil an unimpressed glance.
"Like I said, he'll 'ave his chance one of these days to talk," Harry firmly spoke, and Uma grinned at him.
"Yeah. I guess. If we decide to call him, that is," Uma joked, and Harry winked at her with a raise of his brow.
"Would you hurry up and get off the phone?! I'm trying to go to sleep!" Audrey proclaimed, and Uma threw her an unappreciative glare before exchanging her goodbyes with her first mate.
Mal was already lounged in her sleeping bag, and Evie was curled inside of it with the faerie. Ever since the rats on the first night, Evie had been sleeping in Mal's bag with her because she was scared they'd come back. When Mal presented her with the fact that they hadn't heard nor seen any evidence of them since day one, Evie just claimed that she wanted to be close.
Uma put her puppy down on the floor of the barn, and Audrey lay there in her sleeping bag, her mind racing with all of the possible locations of her sunglasses. Uma just wouldn't move fast enough as she plopped down on her bag before snuggling into it.
"Ready for me to hit the lights?" Mal asked, Evie already nearly asleep right behind her.
"Yeah," Uma replied, and Audrey didn't say anything, pretending to be asleep instead. It was believable enough. After all, Audrey could go to sleep miraculously fast.
Mal turned off the light, and the dimmer moonlight came in through the window, not as pronounced as it was several days ago. Audrey impatiently watched Jane's breaths in front of her, and she noticed that they were slowly and steadily growing more even and deep.
However, something inside of her knew that Uma wasn't asleep yet. Audrey furrowed her brow, keeping her eyes open determinedly as she attempted to avoid sleep.
She soon heard Mal's soft snores, and she was certain that Evie was long gone as well, if her stillness had anything to do with it. So, Audrey waited for Uma.
Uma turned a few times in her bag- Audrey could hear it- and the pink princess couldn't help but offhandedly wonder if the pirate knew of her plans to go out after dark.
But before she knew it, Uma was asleep, too, her snores adding to Mal's as they symphonized in a sleepy harmony.
Audrey very slowly and carefully arose from her bag, looking at all of the resting bodies around her. There were no hints of awareness and consciousness, so Audrey eased out of her sleeping bag. The princess hesitantly slipped on her slippers, thankful that they were not a pair of important ones or that they were at least easily replaceable unlike her sunglasses, and she went down the ladder carefully. She crept over to the barn door, opening it ever so softly, and nervously noticing the squeak and subsequent creak it made when she moved it.
As soon as there was a large enough crack to permit it, Audrey slipped out the door, starting out across the grass as she looked for that horrid little goose.
Audrey reached into her pocket and withdrew her phone, turning on its flashlight. She held it out in front of her so she could see the culprit. Audrey considered for a moment where she thought the goose would bed down.
Audrey had noticed that so far, the goose always seemed to linger around the barn when Evie first got up. She wasn't sure if it was because Evie was sleeping just upstairs inside or if he had a nest nearby. Audrey finally decided to look around the barn and try to find the creature.
She headed around, shining her flashlight all around the nearby area. However, just as she almost reached back where she started, she spotted a hole in the bottom of the wood of the barn. Audrey stopped, kneeling down as she shined her light inside. There in the nest was the goose, wide awake as it stared at her, her sunglasses inside its nest.
"There you are, you little stinker," Audrey scolded it, trying to work up the nerve to reach down and grab the sunglasses from the goose's nest. After several faux reaches, she finally managed to grab them.
"Aha!" Audrey cried as she stood up, holding her prize victoriously, but the goose suddenly came rushing out from its hole. Audrey yelped as she jumped back, accidentally dropping her sunglasses in the process. The goose grabbed them and took off across the moonlit yard. Audrey's eyes widened and she started after him.
"Come back here, goose!" Audrey whispered angrily, rushing after the creature as it went behind the farmhouse.
"When I get my hands around your little neck, ooh, hoo, hoo, you're gonna get it!" Audrey threatened, the creature still running incredibly fast considering it was on two legs and much shorter ones than hers.
However, as they reached a nearby pen, the goose lifted up, taking off in flight. Audrey's eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze locked on her glasses, and she watched them fall down into the fence. Audrey froze as she realized exactly what pen they were inside of.
It was the pig pen.
Audrey stared at the goose as it landed some distance away, running as fast as it could. Audrey then returned her gaze to her sunglasses that were somewhat sunken into the deep mud of the pig sty.
Her instant reaction was to panic. After all, things weren't looking good for her and her sunglasses. However, after a moment, Audrey sighed, knowing that she needed to control herself so that she could think properly about what to do.
Her sunglasses were now only a few feet in front of her, but they might as well have been fifty miles away. She knew from Evie's prattling on with that research of hers that pigs were very dangerous at night. If one got in their pen and they happened to wake up, then the person would likely only be bones or less when they were found the next morning.
Very begrudgingly, Audrey realized that she was going to have to request help from one of the other girls. All dramatics aside, there was a serious risk to her life if the she retrieved the sunglasses by herself.
However, the big question was who she should pick.
Uma was obviously not the choice that Audrey should make. Uma would pick on her terribly for the goose dilemma. Especially when she found out that the glasses were in the pig pen. Audrey was sincerely afraid that Mal was going to act in a similar manner. Jane was a chicken, so she was obviously not a good choice.
Evie, on the other hand, was not an entire chicken, and she was extremely compassionate. Evie would never laugh at her situation and would likely sympathize fully. But she knew Evie was terrified of the pigs…
But Evie was the best option, and she certainly didn't want to go through the humiliation that would naturally come about as a direct result.
So Audrey headed back for the barn, hoping that the goose didn't come back and steal her glasses from the pigpen just to mess with her.
She slipped through the crack that she had left in the door, and she climbed up the ladder quietly, trying to keep as silent as possible. Audrey immediately turned left, kneeling down beside the two girls lying there.
Audrey placed her hand on Evie's shoulder, shaking her gently. Naturally, with Evie being such a light sleeper, the bluenette was easily awoken.
"Wha- huh?" Evie bewilderedly asked, pulling back from her position lying on her side as she squinted at Audrey.
"Evie, I need you," Audrey informed the bluenette in a whisper. Evie furrowed her brow, considering this statement in her tired mind.
"What is it?" Evie questioned weakly, her voice deep with sleep. Obviously, Evie had fallen deeply into the hold of sleep during the time that Audrey had been outside. Audrey sighed, looking down as she tried to work through her pride that was about to take an increasingly large amount of injury.
"I need you to help me," Audrey told the other girl shortly.
"Is it of immediate need?" Evie inquired not impatiently but with as much kindness as could be mustered considering the fact that she had been woken up way too fast after falling asleep.
"Well, I think so."
"Okay, then. What is it?" Evie questioned softly, turning over so that she was on her back to better look at Audrey as she placed her hands on her face in an attempt to gather herself. Audrey spared a glance in Mal's direction, making sure that the faerie just beside the bluenette wasn't waking up.
Fortunately for the pink princess, Mal was out like a light.
"I lost my sunglasses," Audrey started, and Evie took one hand away from her face.
"You know I value fashion, but can't it be searched for in the morning? I'm losing beauty sleep," Evie whined quietly, and Audrey rolled her eyes.
"They're in the pig pen, and I need you to come out with me to get them," Audrey told her immediately, and Evie's eyes widened as she grew immediately more alert.
"Pig pen?!" Evie cried, and Audrey dove forward, covering Evie's mouth with a hand as she immediately shushed Evie. Audrey glanced about at all of the sleeping people around them to ensure that Evie hadn't awoken them. She removed her hand from Evie's mouth after a moment, allowing her to speak.
"The pig pen!" Evie whisper-yelled, gaping at Audrey. Audrey rolled her eyes and nodded.
"Yes, the pig pen," Audrey replied simply.
"Okay… Well, I'll be going back to bed," Evie started, starting to turn back over on her side. Audrey grabbed her shoulder quickly, stopping her from moving.
"That goose took my sunglasses, and he dropped them in the pig pen," Audrey explained quickly, and Evie immediately froze, returning to her position on her back as she looked at Audrey with a serious expression.
"Elmer?" Audrey just nodded, knowing that she now had Evie hooked. Evie furrowed her brow and considered this for a moment. "I'll help you. I won't let that stupid goose mess up my friends."
"Okay, let's go," Audrey whispered, and Evie scooted out of the sleeping bag, careful not to disturb Mal, and she searched through her nearby suitcase before pulling out a pair of slippers.
They both left the barn, Evie in her nightgown and slippers, and Audrey in her pajamas and slippers. The two girls hurried out into the night, silently going over to the pig sty.
However, when they reached the fence, Evie was having second thoughts. Audrey quickly caught sight of her sunglasses, and she pointed them out to the bluenette. Evie hadn't taken her eyes off of the pigs laying over on the other end of the fence asleep.
"Well, Evie, go on in. I'll stand watch and make sure they don't get you," Audrey proclaimed in a tone that she hoped sounded generous. Evie raised an eyebrow at her and shook her head.
"No. I'm not going in there by myself. Those things will eat you," Evie informed Audrey. The pink princess sighed, knowing that there was no way that she was going to get out of stepping through the pen.
"Okay. We go in together, then," Audrey finally agreed, and Evie nodded resolutely.
They were quiet for a few minutes, just staring at their task. After the silence and stillness had dragged out for too long, Audrey decided it was time to go in.
"Alright. Are you going in first?" Audrey asked, really hoping that Evie would take one of those stances of compassion and be the sweet self-sacrificer that Audrey knew she could be.
"Oh, beauty before age," Evie curtsied in her nightgown, gesturing at the pen.
"Age before beauty," Audrey replied just as politely and sweetly as she could muster.
"Pink before blue," Evie responded.
"Sweet before sour," Audrey told her, more than willing to call herself sour in this situation.
"English before math."
"Designers before wearers."
"Gucci Flora before Chanel Number Five."
"Chipped nail polish before no nail polish."
"Taken before single."
"Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Let's just both get in there," Audrey told her, trying to keep quiet as she could as she hesitantly started to attempt to climb the fence. Evie easily started up the fence but paused as she was about to step down on the other side.
"Come on, Evie, it's not that deep, I'm sure," Audrey reassured her, hoping for Evie to step in first. Audrey honestly had no idea how deep it was, but it couldn't have been that deep because her sunglasses didn't sink in.
"What about my slippers?"
"I'm sure they're not going to get that muddy. It's thin enough to protect your shoes, I bet," Audrey asserted.
Evie looked at her uncertainly but stepped down from the fence into the mud with both feet before she realized just how giant of a mistake that was. Evie froze as her entire foot up to mid-calf was submerged in mud. Evie winced and resisted the urge to whine.
Obviously, the only reason that Audrey's glasses hadn't sunk was because it was so thick.
"My shoes!" Evie cried in a whining whisper, and Audrey rolled her eyes with a sigh, making sure that she took off her slippers before she stepped in.
"You have four more just like it at home!"
"How do you know?" Evie questioned, huffing.
"I've been in your closet a million times," Audrey whispered back. They both jumped suddenly when they heard one of the pigs snort. They stared at the group of hogs, and they realized that the creatures were only snoring. At that point, Evie almost turned around and got out of the fence, but Audrey caught her gaze pleadingly.
"Evie. Please? For me? And revenge on Elmer?" Audrey requested, and Evie's eyes hardened at the thought of the goose that had so aggravated her those past few days.
"Okay, let's get them," Evie replied quietly, and they started through the mud. However, before long, Evie figured out that it wasn't efficient to keep walking in the slippers that only seemed to be weighing her down.
So Evie carefully stepped out of them as she walked along beside Audrey, bare feet and partially bare legs alongside the pink princess' pajama-clad legs. They tried to very quietly squelch through the mud, and after a few moments they finally reached the sunglasses.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Audrey whispered enthusiastically as she bent over carefully, snatching them up and grinning widely as she examined them. There was not a single scratch or any harm done to them outside of the mud that could be washed away.
Evie offered her a happy thumbs-up, but Audrey could easily tell that the bluenette was scared to death of the animals sleeping not too far from them. Audrey was, too, but she was currently too absorbed in the reacquisition of her sunglasses to be too worried.
"Let's get out of this hole before they wake up," Evie told her softly. Audrey nodded in response, and they started back toward where they had come.
But before they got to the fence, Audrey's foot caught on something in the mud. Before she could grab onto anything, she lost her balance and down she went into the mud, face-first as she covered her whole front including her face in the mud.
Evie's eyes widened, and she gaped at the princess. Audrey raised her mud-covered face from the muck and she instinctually yelled in pure frustration.
"Evie! Your dang slippers!" Audrey screeched, and Evie's eyes went wide as her gaze shot to the pigs.
The creatures were starting to stand up, looking around wildly as they attempted to spot the source of the noise.
"AUDREY, RUN!" Evie screamed, forgoing all semblances of silence in favor of grabbing Audrey's arm and pulling her up from the mud as fast as she could. They were moving much too slowly through the mush, and the more they struggled, the slower they seemed to go.
"HOLY CRAP, WE'RE GOING TO DIE!" Evie screeched, and Audrey almost screamed as well as she heard the pigs' snorting not too far behind them. They rushed through the mud as fast as they could pull their feet from its nasty hold.
Evie was the first one over the fence, and she nearly jumped it in her haste to escape. She swiftly turned around, beckoning Audrey over as she fearfully spotted the pigs approaching behind the pink princess.
"AUDREY, HURRY!" Evie yelled, and Audrey kept trying as she grew ever closer to the fence. The fact that her entire front was covered in mud and weighing her down wasn't helping her situation.
"I'M HURRYING!" Audrey shot back at her in a scream as she reached the fence. Evie grabbed the princess's arms and yanked her over the fence, her body flopping over the wood.
Audrey landed hard on her back, and Evie ended up on her behind as they stared at the pig sty, the hogs hurrying about to investigate for them. Audrey gasped for breath, blinking through the absurd amount of mud on her face, and she victoriously noted that her sunglasses were still firmly in her hand.
Evie just giggled somewhat hysterically as she laid back on the grass, her mud-covered legs sprawled out in front of her. Audrey wiped the mud from her eyelids, and she couldn't help but laugh with Evie, albeit breathlessly.
"We're alive," Evie informed her, her voice a bit hoarse from all of the screaming, and Audrey nodded as she tried to get the mud out of her face in the midst of her laughing.
However, before they could consider this wonderful fact in its full glory, there were lights starting to illuminate the dark of the night. The two girls looked toward the light, Evie never getting up as several figures came into view.
To Audrey's complete and utter embarrassment, Mal, Uma, Jane, George, and Anne were all approaching them, gathering around the two as they stared at them. George and Anne looked extremely bewildered, Mal had a bit of panic in her eyes, Uma had some worry in her features but was mostly tired, and Jane was wide-eyed and completely freaked out.
"Evie? Audrey?" Mal questioned, completely confused as she took in their appearances on the ground.
Evie held up her hand, waving just barely as she used her other hand to ensure that her nightgown was pulled down and not disheveled. It wasn't that she was embarrassed around the girls, but it'd be a little awkward with the two old people seeing her underwear or something.
"What are you two doing out here?" Mal demanded, her worry shining through.
"And why is she covered in mud?" Jane asked, Uma still rubbing the sleep from her eyes as she took in the sight.
"Well, you see, it's a funny story… We were in deep doo-doo," Evie started, and Audrey's eyes went wide as she paused in the wiping of her face.
"Wait, just stop there now. Did you just say doo-doo?" Audrey questioned, and Evie's eyes widened as she realized she revealed too much.
"Maybe… Figure of speech?" Evie tried, and Audrey just stared at her strangely for a moment as Mal tried to decipher what had happened.
"Evie, what does that even mean? Did you two get in the pig pen?!" Mal suddenly yelled, completely freaked out as she put two and two together to realize that they were covered in mud right next to the pig enclosure. Evie just grinned one of those one-thousand-watt smiles, all of her teeth glittering as she looked at her best friend guiltily.
Audrey rolled her eyes before finally deciding to admit at least a little of what happened. She was already terribly humiliated, and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it at this point.
"I lost my sunglasses and they ended up in the pig pen," Audrey informed the group. Anne and George shared a glance, worried, but it suddenly seemed to dawn upon them exactly what had happened as their worried looks melted away in favor of amused expressions.
"How exactly?" Uma piped up finally, an eyebrow raised as she looked at the princess with the slightest hints of a grin on her face.
"It just happened," Audrey replied firmly, and Evie started to raise up just barely, propping up on her elbows as she looked between the pirate and the princess. She was curious how Audrey was going to avoid explaining this one.
"I'll bet that our goose took her sunglasses when she wasn't looking. He's been known to steal," George piped up, and Audrey resisted the urge to shoot him an ungrateful glance. After all, she was taught to be mindful to her elders.
Uma's grin started to very slowly spread across her face as she no doubt considered all of the options that this situation gave her.
"So why did you fall in the mud?" Mal prodded, still wondering about that fact.
"Because Evie with her dumb slippers left them in the mud for me to trip over!" Audrey explained exasperatedly, terribly embarrassed as she glared at Evie. Evie's eyes widened as she looked at the princess.
"What? I tried to help you!"
"Well, you could've taken them off outside the fence!" Audrey told her, and Evie sat up, furrowing her brow at Audrey.
"Excuse me, but I didn't want to walk in pig poop mud!" Evie replied defensively, and both of the girls' eyes widened. Audrey's mouth dropped open and Evie winced, realizing that the damage had already been done.
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME I WAS WALKING IN PIG POOP!" Audrey screeched, and Evie glanced at Mal helplessly. Mal was currently trying to hold back laughter, and Uma was grinning from ear to ear. Jane was giggling to herself quietly. George and Anne just shared a humor-filled glance.
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME I FELL IN PIG POOP!" Audrey screamed, and Evie just winced, holding out her hands placatingly.
"It wouldn't have been nice to tell you that when your whole front was coated in it!" Evie cried, and Audrey stood up, her hands on her hips as she glared at the bluenette. Evie got up behind her, approaching Mal, and Mal held out her hands, grabbing Evie's shoulders before she got close to her with her mud-covered legs.
"Let's get you two washed off so you can go get a shower," Mal informed her, and Evie nodded with a slight smile that quickly dissipated as she noticed Audrey's enraged face.
"There's a couple of hose pipes over by the barn that y'all can use," George pointed over in the general direction of the barn that the girls were sleeping in.
The girls nodded to him, and bade the two goodnight, apologizing for creating such a ruckus. Audrey was stomping along at the back of the group, and Evie walked alongside Mal, knee-deep- no pun intended- in a detailed narrative describing just how terrified she had been.
Uma listened to them for a moment before slowing her pace so that she was walking alongside Audrey. Audrey didn't even have to look at her to know that she had an enormously smug grin on her face.
"Hey, Audrey?" Uma finally piped up.
"Don't talk to me," Audrey immediately replied, never taking her eyes off of the back of Evie's head.
"I've got a lil' something for you. Just a tiny nickname."
"No."
"But it's wonderful!"
"Just don't."
"Can I tell you what it is?"
"No. Just shut up," Audrey shortly responded, cutting her off. Or so she thought. After a few seconds, she suddenly heard Uma's voice close to her ear.
"Miss Piggy."
Audrey turned toward the pirate and Uma's eyes widened, realizing that she had gone too far. Audrey started to come toward her, and Uma took off running, knowing that the princess was about to grab onto her and spread all of her pig poop mud on her.
Evie and Mal watched them running around like crazy people in the night, and Evie turned to Mal, her eyes wide as she reveled in Audrey's fast movement.
"Where was that kind of running when she was in the pig pen?"
A/N: Holy poop! That was over 5K words long! Wow! But poor Audrey and Evie… What a disgusting situation they found themselves in... I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! The next one should be rather interesting for a certain brown-eyed, blue-haired beauty we all know and love… *cue evil laugh*
