As they reached the house the most pleasant smell seemed to seep from the chimney and the open windows in the house.
"I take it he can cook," said Marguerite surprised
"Yes even better than I and that is something to say, but you repeat it and I will deny ever saying it. I'll deny ever thinking it, I'll deny I ever denied denying it" she smirked laughing.
Marguerite smiled.
Deanna helped her up the stairs into the house.
The explorer' s....
They followed Marguerite's confusing path on the small clues and sure guesses they made along the way till they came to a clearing and sat down.
"I can't believe it!" panted Veronica how in the heck did she ever get all the way out here. She hates hiking!"
"She probably wasn't thinking about it," said Malone in the same exhausted state.
"Quite" said Challenger sitting on the same log Marguerite had rested on.
"Now what?" said Ned
"We look for another clue," said Roxton turning over rocks and checking branches. "I can't find anything . . . Wait," he said frustrated he saw something shine ' That would catch her attention he thought.'
It was a lose bullet.
"Is that one of ours?" Challenger asked.
"Yes, Marguerite's gun too" he said looking around. "So she was here but where did she go?"
"Well I fear that perhaps might have to wait. Night is falling upon us quickly and this is a good place to make camp. We'll figure it out in the morning."
"Alright" said Roxton knowing he was right.
"Ow! What was that for?" Robert yelled after being his in the back of the head with a boot.
"Calling me mother before we left" said Deanna smirking, then turning and finishing her walk up the stairs.
"Oh and put the boot by the door I have to take it to the village to have it fixed.
"Alright mother!" he called and dodged with a smirk as another object came flying from nowhere down the stairs at him.
At the camp . . .
Roxton thought and concentrated as hard as his hunter mind could and he thought of where she had gone, he had paced the clearing a number of times but in the dark a thorough investigation was impossible.
A charming dinner . . .
"For raptor, this is really wonderful" Marguerite commented.
"I think I will take that as a complement" Blake said quickly smiling.
"He catches on quickly," said Deanna putting another piece of food in her mouth smirking.
"Did you help build this house Robert?" Marguerite asked
"No Miss Krux,"
"Marguerite" she said although thinking how she enjoyed how respectful he was.
"Marguerite" he said assuring himself. "Sadly to say, to a point, I have only been on this plateau two and a half years while Deanna has been here for five. So the house was quite finished by my arrival"
"Oh. That's a very long time, I suppose we shall never find a way off." Said Marguerite a bit discouraged.
"Well, honestly I haven't really been looking." Said Deanna off handedly.
"Why not, don't you want to go back to London?!" said Marguerite seeing a conflict in interest.
"At times" she said thinking for a minute "but really that is a story for another time," she said looking at Robert.
"I see," said Marguerite taking the hint.
"Now where did you say you believe you came from, Miss-err- Marguerite" Robert said politely.
"Honestly as a ashamed as I am to say, I don't really know. I know the tree house where I live is by the mountains toward the south."
"The jagged ones?" said Deanna thinking.
"No they are grass covered the Zangas grow their crops on them."
"Hmmm" said Deanna thinking.
"We know of the Zangas but I know I was only there once a year or so ago. I wouldn't know how to go about getting there. I'll have to ask around." Said Robert Blake
"And don't be ashamed about getting lost, you were distracted- the navigator here walked us right into volcano pit."
"Wait now! That was not my fault"
"Oh yes it was, Mr. I know where I'm going"
"Well you-"
"Kept telling you it was getting hotter- and hotter and-"
"Ok Ok ok I get the point, so I took a wrong turn" he said waving his hand like it was no big deal.
"Yeah and almost got us barbecued" Deanna said under her breath before taking a drink from her glass.
"What did you say?" Robert teased.
"Me, nothing-nothing" she said getting up an almost innocent look on her face.
"Hmm" said Robert biting crooked on his jaw. "Alright fine" he said turning to Marguerite, who had silently been chuckling softly at their antics.
"Tomorrow" said Deanna coming back to the table with some coffee "Perhaps we could go back to where that tunnel was, then maybe stop at the village and ask around not to mention-"
"I know-I know" said Robert "Get more coffee" he said a playful exasperation in his voice.
"What?" said Marguerite not understanding?
"She in hails the stuff. Can't live without it."
"I'm not innocent of that charge either," Marguerite smiled as if breaking bad news to him.
"Bet you're not as bad as her"
"That's enough out of you I think," said Deanna hitting him on the shoulder.
"No seriously how many cups of coffee do you have at the most a day?!"
"Robert!!"
"Two or three?" she said shaking her head thinking.
"Deanna can have more that twelve"
"Robert!!" she said hitting him on the back of the head, a bit embarrassed she smiled. "Well what ever gets you through the day" she said then turned away from the awkward but humorous moment.
Morning . . .
It was light again and time for the explorers to get moving. Roxton and Challenger had been looking around all morning for some evidence of where they should move next.
"Well" Challenger said, "The bullet was here so I suggest we should move this way.
"Alright' said Roxton taking a final look around the clearing.
"I'll wake Ned and Veronica."
They all awoke and packed up.
Challenger took the lead.
They walked for a while then stopped to rest.
"Are we sure we're going in the right direction?" asked Veronica
"Yeah I mean I don't think Marguerite's ever walked this far in her life." Malone commented.
"Ned!" said Veronica scolding.
"No I believe we are going the right way." Said Challenger
Roxton said nothing, not sure what to think.
Challenger thought he saw something and walked over to the group of bushes.
"The branches are broken on all sides, someone defiantly pushed through here."
"Was it Marguerite!" said Roxton adrenaline pumping through his veins again.
Challenger picked something off of a branch, a small light purple piece of cloth. "I would say so" and he began to walk through the brush. Roxton at his heels.
"So she walked through here and-" His eyes widened in alarm dinosaur nests as far as the eye could see. Remembering Roxton he stepped back and put his arm out to stop Roxton, he didn't want him to see that right now.
"Challenger? Let me through"
"No John" he said sternly
"What!" said Roxton startled "What is it? Is it her?!" he said pushing by him.
Although quite relieved Roxton was distressed at the sight of the nests. 'Who knows what happened here!' he thought. Then he saw something flicker in the sunlight.
"That would get her attention!"
"What?" said Ned coming through the bushes.
Roxton snatched at the shine and picked up Marguerite's hat the light had been from the buckle.
"So she did come this way," said Veronica looking around cautiously.
"Yes, but I think we should continue moving on, the dinosaurs nesting here could be back any moment." Challenger said.
Malone went to continue walking when he stopped and looked as if he would lose his balance and fell back onto the ground.
"Ned?" said Veronica running over.
"There is a hole or tunnel or something there" said Ned getting up "looks pretty deep"
"What if Marguerite fell in there!" said Roxton a bit frantic.
"Marguerite!" he yelled into the hole. It just echoed horridly back at him.
"It looks pretty deep," said Malone
"Yeah well if she fell down there then I'm going to get her." Said Roxton grabbing his rifle and jumping right into the hole.
"Roxton!" Veronica and Challenger shouted.
"Oh he is going to kill me some day," said Challenger straightening his hat.
"George?" Veronica said confused before Challenger jumped into the hole.
Malone and Veronica stared into the dark hole.
She looked up at him.
"Oh-no! I'm not going in there!' said Ned
"Come on do you really want to be the last two left" she said an eyebrow slightly raised.
"Well" he said slyly
"OH" she rolled her eyes and jumped into the hole.
"AH man, you know . . ." Malone said picking up his rifle and jumping in.
