Ok, loving and adoring fans, I only have about a half an hour to type this chapter, so here it goes.

Isaac eyed Abigail up and down, and then turned to Malachi.

"If you are going to do things like that, you do it in your quarters, not the clearing!" The small teen, looking up at Malachi. Abigail laughed, it was almost ironic. The two boys stared each other down for a while until other children gathered in the clearing waiting for the evening sermon. Malachi and Abigail sat next to each other holding hands during the entire evening, until they heard sirens.

"Outlanders!" The crowd shrieked in a panicked whisper. Malachi and Abigail stood up together and walked out of the clearing to take care of it.

"Okay," Malachi looked down the street and saw the cop car coming. "I have a plan, but it might hurt you." He gazed at her lovingly, "but remember, I would never hurt you unless it was for the better." Abigail nodded and smiled. Malachi looked at her and then down the street again, the car was getting closer. He pulled her back in the corn and kissed her hard, then ripped a sleeve off her dress. He put his 9 inch hunting knife to her cheek and grabbed her hand; the cut a long line down the side of her face, Abigail held back a scream.

"When the car pulls up run out into the street and lure him back into the clearing, Amos and the rest of the boys can take care of the cop, and we can go back to our cabin. He kissed her again and ran his fingers softly down her back, making her shiver, then turned her away from him and patted her on the bottom. Abigail walked into the street and flagged the cop car down. He pulled over and got out, then wrapped a coat around her.

"Honey!" The cop looked at her sincerely, sinner. "What happened to you, who did this?" Abigail worked up fake tears and began to sob.

"He went into the corn field! I don't know who he was!" The cop nodded at her and un-snapped his gun holder and walked into the corn. Abigail chuckled and walked in after him, with a wicked grin on her face. Once in the clearing the cop was shocked, he looked around at all the smiling children and teenagers, sitting Indian style on the ground. Abigail noticed that Amos, Malachi, Steve, Isaac, and a bunch of the older boys were missing.

"Are you children hostages?" The cops face whitened. One of the younger girls, Mary stood up and looked innocently at the cop.

"The bad boys walked that way into the corn!" She pointed off in the direction Malachi and the others must have headed. She glowed with pride for Malachi having a plan like this ready. She bolted off into the corn and ran towards the sound of boys whispering and away from the sound of the cop shouting.

"Abby!" Malachi picked her up and swung her around kissing her face all over. The other boys snickered at Malachi's public display of affection. Then they heard the cop's footsteps and scared short breathing in the corn row next to theirs. The boys pulled out their knives, chains and sickles. Abigail clung to Malachi, for protection, the cop had no idea what was headed his way.

Well, that's all for now folks, I must recommend all of you go read 'Forbidden Music'! It is really good! Next chapter should be up soon! I don't have school tomarrow!
