Here is chapter 2: I KNOW YOU KNOW; Oh, and the girls name is Maria.
They were ridding for hours and Maria's butt was hurting from sitting on that retched thing. She was so glad to be in town she felt like kissing the ground beneath her for being so gentle compared to that piece of crap.
Nick went to go get them rooms as she looked around. She had never been in another town than the one the orphanage was in.
"Hey", Nick said walking up to her, "maybe we should go get something to eat".
Maria liked that; it felt like she hasn't eaten in a year.
They went over to a restraint and sat down in a booth.
"Why did you bring me with you?" she asked looking down at the table to avoid his eyes.
Nick looked at her for a while contemplating on if he wanted to tell her or not, "we'll talk about that later".
"Why", the girl was starting to get annoyed. She hated not getting specific answers.
"Not now", Nick gave her an angry glare warning her not to say another word about it.
Maria looked up to is face and saw it. She never really seen him get angry before he just looked sad all the time and she didn't want to get him angry nor upset.
"What would you like?" a waitress asked the two.
Maria looked at Nick confused. She'd been in the orphanage almost her whole life and never been to a restraint.
"How about spaghetti for both of us", he told her understanding Maria's look.
"Okay, it'll be out in a sec."
"We need to get you some new cloths. The ones you're wearing now are rages and is making everybody stare", Nick said.
Maria looked around she didn't notice before that people were staring because she had been so confused about the whole thing with her being there.
Nick looked at her for a while; "of course if you ever gain the weight you need back to were anything without it being to big then they'll still stare because you are beautiful."
She looked down blushing because it possibly was true. She remembered how people use to say when she was little that she would look just like her mother and her mother was very beautiful. But those words sounded funny coming from Nick. She never thought he'd say she was beautiful.
After they had dinner they went to go get Maria a few things to wear and went back to the hotel.
"Your room is across the hall but we can stay up for a little while. I'm guessing you want to talk", Nick said as they walked into his room.
Maria nodded looking down.
"What's wrong? You haven't been yourself", Nick sat down motioning for Maria to do the same.
"I don't know. I just been confused, that's all", she said sitting down.
"Maria, you were going to be in more danger there then you are with me".
She looked up at him confused, "what do you mean? Chapel is trying to kill me isn't he"?
"No, not really."
"Wow, that's really reassuring", she said sarcastically.
Nick glanced at her annoyed but acted like the remark didn't bother him, "they are trying to kidnap you for some strange reason".
"They?"
"The Gun-Ho-Guns are".
Maria's eyes went big but she looked away so Nick wouldn't see her surprise, but he got to a place were she didn't want him to prowl.
"Would you know why?"
Maria shrugged, "no, why".
It was meant to be another sarcastic remark.
"What is your problem? Why do you keep making accusing remarks", Nick said angrily.
"I'm not accusing you, I'm just wondering why you stay around an evil priest".
Nick voice was calmer this time "he raised me".
"Oh".
"You should go get a bath and go to bed".
Maria looked at him for a while, "so you are trying to protect me?"
Nick nodded.
"That's the only reason?" she made it as a question but turned before he could answer.
Nick walked up to her and turned her towards him, "I wanted your company as well".
Maria smiled, she knew him enough to know it was true. He probably didn't mean for it to be that way but she knew that he needed her there now.
She said good night and went back to her room.
Okay that's the end of this chapter and I promise this story well get interesting if you think it's not now.
Anyways: how does Maria know about the gun ho guns and why would she be all snappy with Nick about it? Well keep reading and you'll find out.
