AND ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT DO BOTH!
Now -The trap, will you fall in?? You better, so jump to it!!
"Deanna?" Robert questioned cautiously taking a step foreword.
"Run!! Run Run!!!" Deanna yelled turning to them, "Run!!!"
(Roxton gets that cute startled/terrified face you all know what I'm talking about, right. Well everyone has a version of that on their faces.)
The second the words left her mouth bullets and flaming arrows and men came flying into the clearing.
Roxton tackled Marguerite to the ground.
Challenger ducked behind a tree grabbing Malone while doing so.
Veronica and Robert had already made their way into the brush.
"Damn it! where's Deanna!!" He growled.
"Come on!" said Roxton grabbing Marguerite and running through the shrapnel. But stopped dead when they were blocked by a group of warriors. One punched Roxton in the face knocking him down.
Marguerite cried out. "John!"
-----
Challenger and Malone were forced from their hiding place by the heavy artillery fire they suddenly became under.
Immediately more warriors were upon them.
"Malone!" Veronica cried and ran out throwing her knife into one of the warrior's backs.
"Veronica!" Robert yelled trying to stop her.
-----
Marguerite shot her gun catching one of the warriors in the shoulder.
"Marguerite!!' Roxton yelled seeing a large man rushing at her with a sword.
She turned around and braced herself.
A shot rang out.
Marguerite looked up to see a furious Deanna, warriors sprawled around her feet, holding her smoking rifle and one of her handguns.
Marguerite sighed and then as a warrior and Roxton came out from behind her. The warrior wrestled Roxton to the ground in front of her. She jumped up and having dropped her gun she grabbed the man on top of Roxton and pulled him backwards with all her weight. He came back and so did she and they fell to the ground. He got to his knees and looked up to see Marguerite's foot fly into his face knocking him out.
"Hau!" she breathed out exasperated.
"Woman with spirit, I like that" said Roxton jumping his eyebrows.
She just laughed lightly and pulled him up. Before suddenly being rushed from behind.
"Ah!! Marguerite!!" he cried.
----
"Malone just hit him!!" Veronica snapped she was clasping her bag over one of the larger warriors faces holding onto his back as he spun around trying to throw her off.
--
Deanna hissed as she slammed her rifle into a warrior's head. A warrior ran up and thrashed her in the face with a leather strap.
She screamed out half in pain half in surprise and fell to the ground. Robert came charging out of nowhere and slammed into the man throwing the warrior onto his back.
Deanna sat up, and then someone threw a rope around her neck and pulled back.
She growled and pushed trying to stand throwing her weight the other way clawing like a wild cat. She could hear Robert yelling next to her, battling himself, trying to get to her.
------
"Don't you touch her!" Roxton fumed throwing the man off who had been pinning Marguerite on the ground. He pulled her up off the ground and close to him -he held his rifle ready.
"George!" he cried out looking over. Holding Marguerite around the waist her ran them both over and slammed the man kicking his comrade with his rifle in the temple.
Marguerite was struck down with a leather belt.
She grabbed the man's arms as he tried to pin her down.
"Ah!" she cried out as he pushed one of her arms down. In a last effort she kicked up with all her might into his chest, knocking the wind out of him he fell back onto the ground.
She scrambled off the ground and turned around to see some object swung into her face.
------
Marguerite began to stir awake. She could tell it was cold and damp but she was laying in someone's lap her head resting on their chest. She could also hear someone screaming wrathfully.
She felt the vibrations for whoever was holding when they spoke. 'Roxton' she thought as she slowly can into consciousness.
"Stop that! You'll disturb Marguerite!" Roxton whispered through gritted teeth holding Marguerite gingerly in his arms as he sat on the cold stone floor of the prison they had been put it.
"She should be disturbed, I'm DISTURBED! This has all got to stop!" she screamed
Roxton looked down at Marguerite. It was dark but he could see the dark purple and bloody gash next to Marguerite's temple. If I ever get a hold of that guy . . he swore. But his thoughts were interrupted as he felt Marguerite stir awake.
"Hey! Hey She's coming around!" he informed everyone.
Everyone came closer.
"Hey there" she said weakly looking up at Roxton
"Hey yourself" said Roxton softly grinning
"Is she ok?" asked Deanna fearfully.
Everyone looked at her surprise it was the first sense of tender vulnerability or fear that had ever seen of her.
"Well she's awake that good," said Robert looking at the gash.
"Does she have a concussion?" Challenger asked
"A slight one I think" he replied looking away from Marguerite to the others.
Marguerite tried to sit up.
"Oh!" she cried out in pain
"No-no" said Roxton trying to hold her down "just take it slow"
She complied and relaxed in his embrace. In actuality she preferred it. It was an excuse to stay in his safe arms.
Deanna literal growled and tore up the step slamming against the door again.
It was a bit different than the prison the explorers had first been it. It wasn't completely dark and the door was slanted upward like a cellar door. It was still underground and the stairs from the door and the musty smell of earth proved that.
"Deanna!" Challenger said trying to get her attention as she went into another fit.
She screamed and cursed as she slammed and pounded on the door uttering vows of vengeance and threats for the moment she was let out. She stumbled on the steps a few times, and her hands were getting bloody and her shoulders bruised but she didn't care. She just didn't care! The pain seemed to justify the way she felt for bringing her new friends into all of this trouble, all of this mess. How she had let Marguerite get hurt like that!! 'OH what I will do to Haiton when I get a hold of him!!' she thought
"You hear that HAITON!! WAIT till I get out of HERE!!" she screamed her voice dripping with venom.
"Deanna-Deanna!" Robert tried to calm her. He came up on the stairs behind her, he could she her mangled hands and her injuries form the battle, which she had not let him look at. She had been screaming since she had woken up and she had been the first to do so.
He could hear her voice giving out. So he took hold of her wrist but she thrashed her arm pushing him away.
"Deanna stop it!" he screamed getting angry, seeing her in such pain. He grabbed her from behind and dragged her down the stairs. She thrashed like a wild cat.
"Why the hell should I stop it!!" she screamed at him now. "There is nothing else to do!! This Son of a bitch has got us locked down here!! For god knows how long, Marguerite-" she looked over and her heart sank "Marguerite needs medical attention" he heard the waver in her voice "And who the hell knows what Haiton has planned the jackass!" She screamed going back for the door.
Robert grabbed her and pulled her to her knees.
She thrashed and screamed but he just held her tighter until she slowly started to calm down. And he just rocked her back and forth, until her body slowly began to relax and the tension in her body seemed too easy.
---
Marguerite's hold tensed on Roxton. He looked down at her and saw the sorrow in her eyes. He wasn't sure if it was for herself, them, Deanna, or the situation but he gently ran his hand over her hair and whispered to her.
"This will be ok Marguerite, just wait. We'll get out of this. We'll all be ok, you'll be ok, and I promise you I won't let anything hurt you"
She nodded holding to him pulling closer, she never wanted to leave the safety of his arms and she dreaded the moment when the trap door above them would swing open and the people and the horrors that would come when it did.
---
Everyone sat in silence.
Robert still rocked gently holding Deanna as tight as before. She had a dreading, fretful expression on her face, a hand clutching Robert's shirt in a strenuous manor.
Roxton brushed his hand over Marguerite's hair. She was slightly dozing in his embrace, in part from her head trauma, and because of the refuge that she found in his arms. It gave her peace that she had never before known, peace that she honestly didn't want to give up.
Ned and Veronica sat on one side of Challenger, Malone taking her hand for encouragement. And they just waited, waited for what was next, waited for whatever or whoever was going to walk through that door.
Authors' Notes: I hope you liked that as short as it was. I'm working on where to go from here. Hmmm. . . Let me think about it . . .Hehe . . .. You hate that don't you? Don't worry I won't abandon you. I'll keep posting as fast as I can. But you have to, "all together now"
