Ch.9
Calica bit her lip as she walked into the meeting. they where here to discuss 'the sister' as everyone was calling her. Latoya could be a great aily, but then again, she could be an even better enemy.
Calica went to the head of the table, embarassed as some of the people's thoughts crept into her own head. One man she didn't know had a particularly sick one, and she ordered him out.
"Latoya. that's why i brought you here. she is a...hole in our plans. she could be an asset or...not so great an asset." Calica didn't want to say the words, she sencerily liked the sister, in fact she admired her. not many people could stand in front of their captors and demand to be sent home. Mayhap she was crazy.
"We have to decide about her, before she and Pelinqa reach whatever shack she calls home." Calica tried to sound confidant, but the way her voice rose at the end of the sentance made it sound like a question.
"hum. maybe we should kill her, that way she poses no threat to Parkka, one way or the other." said one one of the women who had come.
"but what if she ends up being the missing link? the one we need to pull this off?" asked another.
"no. we won't kill her, we won't sink to Maccan's level." Calica said, eyeing those around her. "do you hear me?" she put force into her words. Those around her nodded.
"good. now, shall we intrust a secret or two, or not? Geridi and Akaya will want to know, sooner rather than later."

"rise and shine sleepy head! we got to catch up with them still!" geridi yelled into Akaya's ear. She had been awake hours, and she knew Geridi himself had just woken up, but she pretended to be waking up so as not to apper sleepless.
"i'm 'a coming...just give me a minute..." Akaya rolled over and rubbed her eyes, sitting up slowly.
"sleep well, sunshine?" asked the norman boy, digging through one of the packs for a quick breakfast.Akaya stood, streached and rushed quickly to the makeshift privy in the woods.
When she came back, Geridi had some of the dried meat frying in a pan and was pulling a freash shirt over his ears. Akaya blushed and wondered how she was going to be able to dress without being rude.
"I have to go do my business, and i'm going to wash meself as well as i can in the little pond we saw a while back." she nodded, greatful for his explination to her unasked question.
After he was out of eyesight she began to undress herself, serching through her pack for the red tunic she had packed. it wasen't there. strange, she always packed the red tunic, it was perfect for almost any conditions, and she liked the colour. she shruged and took out an undyed cotton shirt instead.
Geridi was back a little while later, having washed his face and hands and doddled, not know how long a girl like Akaya would take.
"you ready then?" he asked.
"yep. lets hit it."

Latoya heard the Kirin girl wake just after dawn. Latoya was finished dressing and already had breakfast cooked. "food?" mummbled the girl.
Latoya grinned, playing the part of a happy girl, "yep, almost done, and then we can head home. k?"she said, keeping the false grin on her face. Certa how she hated lazy people. couldn't Pelinqa have gotten up just a little eariler? it was first light and the girl was only just waking. Latoya heaved an inward sigh. She only had to put with her for another day or so, then they would be back in Tusaine City, and all would be okay again.
Later, once the two were both ready to go, they mounted their pakpak's, and started off. Latoya had an uneasy feeling. She felt like she had the day she had found Aurin's men following her, the day she had staged her own death. Latoya glanced behind her, wondering where the spy's where, because surly they weren't smart enough to keep well hidden, after all, they where Aurin's men.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"DAMNIT!" cried Geridi, "where did they go? they couldn't have just disapeared!"
"they must have left earlier then we thought they would." said Akaya, quietly from her pakpak.
"we've lost 'em. we'll have to catch up with them when we get to Tusaine City." he said, quite obviously very angry.
Akaya nodded quietly, she knew they would leave early. Of course she had. why haden't she waken Geridi eariler?
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Latoya stopped Pelinqa a little while later. "wait here, i'll be right back." Latoya stepped off her pakpak and ran into the woods.
"fat chance." muttered Pelinqa, charging her mount after her.
She found Latoya glaring at a man, a man Pelinqa knew well, a man sprawled uselessly on the ground, Latoya's hand pressed against his forehead. "make one move an i'll blow your f***ing brains out."

I like it, any objections?
