Thanks to Fire Spirit, BacktoLatvia, Tears of Blood from my Eyes and Orlando-lennon for reviewing!
Fire Spirit- We find out what happened to Zigzag! Poor guy. Thanks for reviewing the most!
Backtolatvia- dude, of course my story is flyer than a fly on a wall! What are you talking about? Germany in 2 days!
Tears of Blood from my Eyes- heehee, your name is so fun to type, I dunno why. Thanks for reviewing and here's the next chapter!
Orlando-lennon- here's your update. I should have hit him with the water bottle! You suck (you finish sentence) for getting more reviews than me. Maybe I should have toned down the language.
Tell everyone about my story! I'm in dire need of reviews to beat Angi! Mwa- ha-ha
K, here's the story.
"Just because my brother's retarded doesn't mean that I am!"
"What'd the Warden say?" Bite ran up to Zigzag and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the dark wreck room.
"Nothing. She just said that I can do whatever to you and she wouldn't care. She said that she just wants to get rid of you," Zigzag explained, following her quickly. Bite sighed.
"Yep, that woman's had it in for me since I first came here. But you know what? Fuck her," she ranted. Zigzag laughed.
"I think that Mr. Sir and Mom could cover that for us," he grinned, jokingly. She hit him on the arm.
"You're a perv. You know that? You are a pervert," she smiled. He liked the way that the moon shone on her torso, her white shirt almost blinding, her light skin shining. The tattoo on her shoulder was outlined against her pale skin. She had taken her hair down and it cascaded down her back. Her gold eyes were glimmering and her heart-shaped lips were settled in a pout, as they were ever since he'd first seen her.
"Yeah I know that. It's kind of hard not to when you haven't seen a girl for two months," he smirked. She suddenly let out a huge sigh and fell onto his lap. "Ok.that works."
"You remind me of Red," she stated. He looked a little startled. He still wasn't sure that she hadn't murdered him. She saw his look. "You're both tall." He relaxed and began to play with her hair in one hand.
"You ready to dig tomorrow?" he asked.
"I was born ready." She took his other hand and wrapped it across her shoulders. He squeezed her close to him.
"Oh yeah. A little midget like you with that big an ego can really go out in the hot desert sun and dig a hole that's no shorter than you," he joked. She play-bit his arm.
"FYI, I'm 5'4", I'm still taller than those holes. I just might need some help getting out." She breathed in his aroma which was a mixture of his sweat and a weak cologne. She loved the way he smelled.
"Oh, that one-fourth of an inch is extremely important, isn't it?" he questioned. She turned her head and grinned evilly at him. "Come on. Let's get back before Mom blows a fuse." He kissed her on the forehead. He stood up and she went tumbling to the floor.
"Thank you so much Zig. I appreciate your consideration," she commented sarcastically. He put a hand out for her to grab, which she did. But she pulled him down on top of her and the two wrestled. They rolled all along the floor, until she managed to pin him. She sat on top of him, on his hips, and tucked her hair behind her ears. From his position, the snake on her shoulder looked alive.
"You know, that tattoo of yours is really freaking me out," he stated, reaching a hand up to brush it, just to reassure himself. She stood up and reached down to help him, but he pulled her down again. Taking a deep breath, he brought her head to his and kissed her, hard and soft at the same time. Though surprised, she began to kiss him back. She ran her fingers through his hair and he sat up, to pull her closer to him. As they pulled away, she looked at him with eyes that seemed to reflect her past. Her eyes were now the orangey color of a sunset.
"Come on you ass. Let's get back to the tent," she grinned, standing up and brushing herself off. He stood up behind her and then tapped her slightly.
"Tag," he whispered in her ear, "You're it!" He began to sprint to the tent, Bite right behind him.
"Damn it you guys! Keep it down!" Armpit groaned, almost asleep as Bite and Zigzag walked in, out of breath.
"Sorry Pit," Bit replied, trying not to laugh as Zigzag found her ticklish spot. Armpit groaned and rolled over in his sleep. The laugh that Bite had been keeping in, suddenly slipped out, loudly. Both she and Zigzag began laughing loudly, waking everyone else up.
"Ziggy man. If you're gonna do her go somewhere else," Squid moaned, rubbing his eyes. Bite got an evil look on her face.
"Stay here," she mouthed to Zigzag. She went over to Squid's cot as Zigzag went to sit on his own, anxious to see what she was planning. She went and sat on Squid and he snapped wide awake.
"You see Squid," she whispered seductively, taking his hat off of his head and playing with it, "Zigzag over here would be "doing me" right now, if I weren't saving myself for you." She licked his hat, put it back on his head, then ran over to Zigzag all very quickly, leaving Squid sitting up and looking shocked. Zigzag watched the whole scene with great amusement, but couldn't help feeling a twang of jealousy. Bite came and hugged Zigzag, breathing in his aroma again, and kissing him on the cheek. "Night."
"Night." He began getting ready for bed. He took his white beater off, then untied the arms of his jumpsuit, leaving him in just his boxers. She changed her khakis for a pair of short shorts, traded her bra and tank top for a sport's bra and put her hair up again. Asleep or not, each guy had at least one eye on her, even Zero.
As she crawled under the covers, she realized that she was glad to be back, even if she had to dig a hole tomorrow. She'd met her old best friend and a potential boyfriend. She could just say that it was going to be an interesting year.
Coming next- digging the first hole. Any suggestions on how to continue this, let me know. I'm gonna try to keep the chapters short. I've got this thing where I have to see it on paper first and on paper this chapter was 8 pages and typing is bigger than writing for me, so I'm trying to figure out how to work this out so it might take a little longer than usual for me to update. Thanks to everyone for reviewing and anyone who does read this, PLEASE review!!!! You'll be my hero forever!
