One week

Day 1

Disclaimer

Danni belongs to me, Lesely belong to JB Duenweg and the rest of the people belong to the patriot people.

Danni Davis stood in the foyer of the Fort Carolina house. She had spent all morning getting ready straitening her hair. That was some sort of ordeal. She had heated a pair of flat irons and put the products in her hair to keep it from frying and getting frizzy. She stamped her foot impatiently. "Where is he?" She growled leaving the house and walking down to the stables looking for her escort. He was not there. "ARUG! Where in the devil is he?" She failed her arms around wildly. "When I find him I'm going to beat him with the ugly stick!" She screamed. She stomped out of the stables.

There was a lot of shouting in the last corner of the yard. There were bunches of continental prisoners held there earlier. There had been a "prisoner exchange" earlier that week not that it ever bothered her. She just stayed out of the way of the war. Especially, since it had to do with a personal thing on Colonel Tavington's part. Ever since the I-pod incident, she stayed out of his way. She heard a few choice words formed an "o" with her mouth. It sounded like a woman shouting. She looked in that direction and saw a blonde haired girl running towards her. She got the deer in the headlights look and stood there. Behind the woman were several very angry soldiers and on e ticked off Tavington.

Lesley Davis had a rough night. The idiotic man had tied her up a dumped her in a makeshift jail cell. Bo was tied up outside to one of the wooden beams. She sighed and slid her hands under feet. Those years at karate had made her flexible. She sighed and grabbed the extra knife that she kept in her boots. "These people are idiots." She quickly cut the ropes and picked the lock to the door. "This is too easy." She laughed to herself.

Just when she thought that she was going to get away Scot-free, some stupid soldier noticed her. "You there stop!" She growled under breath and headed towards the stables. There was a girl standing in the middle of the yard. She was just standing there like an idiot. At the point that Lesley ran into her, both of them went tumbling over each other. Lesley gave an angry shout and the other girl screamed. "Get the heck out of my way!" Lesley threw the girl off her and tried running. Instead, she ran into the pompous jerk that had been the same room as Cornwallis.

"Miss Davis, come on?" He grabbed her and dragged her to the stables. "We're late for your ridding lessons."

Meanwhile, Danni was barely sitting up when she felt Tavington kick her. "Get up" He grabbed her by the collar. "Try and escape will you?" He breathed on her face. "Well then, let's see what Cornwallis has to say about that. Bordon, clap her in irons!"

Danni came out of her shock and screamed with frustration. "Colonel you're off your head! What Bordon, take these chains of me immediately. I swear, I'll make sure Cornwallis has your heart for lunch!" She yelled thrashing. Tavington turned around, grabbed her long blonde hair, and dragged her up the stairs. She kicked and screamed the whole way up.

Lesley mounted the horse quickly intent on running away. "You're doing very well Miss Davis. Now just- the next thing O'Hara knew he was lying in a pile of horse manure. . Danni had kicked him and was taking of on her horse. She was screaming at the men to open the gates. He groaned. "MISS DAVINS stop this instant." He shouted running after her.

Danni stood in front of Cornwallis with Tavington holding the back of her shirt. She sighed and looked at him. Tavington looked at her strangely. "Colonel, why exactly do you have Miss Davis chained up? And what are these accusations of escape?" Tavington paled a little.

"I thought she seemed a little short." Bordon muttered underneath his breath. Before any more action could take place, a soldier ran into the room.

"Sir, the prisoner has escaped!" He shouted, pointing too the window. Tavington let go of Danni and ran down the stairs.

It was only a few minutes for Tavington to catch the other Miss Davis. He mounted his horse quickly and the gates were still open. He rode after her, lapping O'Hara; her horse was an old mare that was near the glue factory. Tavington came along side of her and grabbed her by the waist. He pulled her off and threw her to the ground. Before she could react, he was off his horse and had a weapon trained on her. "Miss Davis would please be so kind accompany me back to the fort." She got to her feet and tried to kick the gun out of his hands. He just moved his hand and apprehended her. "Really, miss, this would be so much easier." He pulled her arm behind her back. O'Hara approached them.

"Ah, Colonel, er, why are you treating Miss Davis that way, Cornwallis will have you court marshaled." He asked. Tavington and Lesley rolled their eyes.

"General O'Hara this is not Miss Davis."

"It's not?" He stammered looking her over.

"Yes, I am you stupid a-

"Now, now Miss Davis, we'll have none of that." He commanded smugly. "Please notice that she is substantially taller." Lesley jerked and Tavington tightened his grip. "Now, please get her stupid mutt and bring it to the room." Lesley stepped on his foot in a futile attempt to get away. Tavington groaned and forced her forward.

The two girls stood in front of Cornwallis. He looked them both over several times. "They do have a great resemblance, well with the exception of height." He said. Danni rolled her eyes.

"Yes all that aside, Lord General, I have one itsy-bitsy problem." Danni said smiling sweetly. Lesley made a disgusted noise, Danni glared at the other girl. "I still happen to be CHAINED UP!" She screamed. Cornwallis just stared at her surprised, then made a motion for Bordon to unchain her. "Thank you." She rubbed her wrists.

"What are you some sort of spoiled valley girl?" Lesley asked preparing to attack Danni.

"No, I'm a GRITS, you over rated, under bathed Yankee." She shot back. Lesley lunged at Danni, but Wilkins jumped in the way. Lesely strained at him and said some nasty things to Danni, who just stood in corner with her eyebrow raised. The doors burst open, further deterring any trash talk. O'Hara stood there straining on the rope tied to the collar of a large pit bulldog. He was tore up. The brocade of his red jacket was missing and his wig was on side ways. There were several mud stains on his pristine pants, his stocking had hole in them, and his left shoe was missing. "Oh my soul, O'Hara what happened to you?"

"This stupid dog," He flew forward as Bo jerked towards Lesley out reached hands. "I'm going to slash him open and eat him!" He jumped to his feet and found himself back down on the ground.

"Touch my dog and you'll be singing soprano little man." Lesley threatened. Wilkins apprehended him and held her there. "Hey idiot let me go."

"Miss Davis that will be enough out of you!" Cornwallis shouted. He heaved a heavy breath. "Danni, why are you wearing those awful things? I thought we discussed this." Danni shrugged and tried to make an answer. "Never mind, I will think of a adequate punishment for you later." Danni flailed her arms. She had issues with blame. "Now, Miss Davis, trying to escape our fort would only cause you and several others much pain. How are we to keep you from doing that?" He paused and rubbed his finger together. "Danni, I've thought of a punishment for you, as well as you Miss Davis. Danni, you are to be Miss Davis's keeper. This means she will stay in your room and be with you at all times possible."

"WHAT!" They both shouted

"Heck no!" and "A snow ball has better chance with the Devil!" filled the room as the two girl began protesting. Lesely said a few nasty things to Tavington who was sniggering the background. Cornwallis noticed this.

"To ensure that both of you girls do as you are told, Colonel Tavington I am putting you in charge of the girls for the next week while I am gone to see my wife, Ruthie, and Rose in Charlestown."

"NO FREAKING WAY!" Both girls screamed. (Only Lesley didn't say freaking she said the other one). Tavington tried to protest but Cornwallis dismissed them all. Danni walked out of the room muttering under her breath. "I would so like to wring his fat head of and watch his eyes pop out then stick a hot poker up his nose and scramble his brains around and see how he likes being messed with."

"That's sounds kind of morbid for you Valley girl." Lesley laughed at her infuriated state. Danni was about to say something rude to Lesley but Tavington stepped in.

"Both of you shut up!" He shouted pushing them both up the stairs. Bo growled at him and Lesley turned around and kicked him in the stomach. He grunted but it didn't seem to faze him. He dragged them her up the stairs. Danni already stood at the top because she knew Tavington could over power her. Finally, he got Lesely up the steps and into the room. "You two will stay in here for the remainder of the night, if either of you set foot outside this door. I will be waiting to shoot you."

Lesley balked a little and shoved Tavington out of the room telling him something that would deflate any man's ego. She slammed the door and turned her face to Danni who was pouring water into a basin. "Today was a complete waste of make up!" She growled wetting her hair.

"You wear make up." Lesley asked looking at the bag of make up, hair sprays, and different girly things.

"Yes, my word how did they ever mistake me for you? Your like ten inches taller than me!" She said as she grabbed a near by towel and wrapped her hair in it. Then she looked at Lesley "You have better nose than I do." She commented. Lesley touched her nose and stared at the other blonde.

"Why are you noticing that?"

"I draw, your nose is easy to draw its very straight." She shrugged and sat in the desk chair. "But my lips are better ya know bigger, yours are thin. Actually your just thin all over which makes me wonder about the Colonel cause my chest is so much bigger than yours." She said. Lesley crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'll thank you for not noticing that! Why are you looking anyway? Are you gay or something?" She growled at her.

Danni narrowed her eyes and gave a fake smile. "Actually I'm a semi homophobe." She looked at the bed where her black and white cat was lying. "Ah, Salem how are you precious?" She picked the cat up and it sat on her shoulder like a baby.

"You are lame, you have cats." Lesley chortled she patted the bed for Bo to jump on. "My dog is will eat your cat." She threatened.

"I will kill your dog." She jerked the cat away. "Now get your smelly fat dog of my bed!" She commanded.

"It's my bed too and keep your stupid cat off my bed!" The two girls went back and forth of a good while before Lesley threw her arms in the air. "You know what Valley Girl, I'm sick of talking about this I think I'm going to just kick your scrawny little butt!"

"Why don't you come over here and do that?" Danni retorted. She didn't wait for Lesley to do any thing but grabbed two fistfuls of hair and jerked it. Lesley did the same thing see that this girl was a true girly girl and did not want to break her precious nails. It did not really do much to either because neither was tender headed. They clawed, scratched, (Danni had the advantage her nails were longer). They rammed into the furniture not paying attention to the their pets that were sitting on the bed staring amused.

Tavington had heard the sounds from inside. They were arguing now it sounded like fighting. He walked unlocked the door, because it locked from the outside. He opened the door and ducked as a vase came flying at his head. It took him a moment to realize that Danni threw it. Lesley looked at him and decided that she was jumping him; he would put up a better fight. She punched him in the jaw. They started fighting. They went near the high boy. There on the floor was Danni's I-pod. She shrieked and ran behind them. Tavington was about step on it, but she pushed him forward sending both him and Lesley to the ground. "You stupids! You almost broke my I-pod, they don't make them in this century!" She screamed waving it around. Tavingotn just slapped his face with his palm. He wanted to strangle them both.

The two girls were sitting on the floor tied with their backs together. Tavington was in the chair sleeping. "This is all your fault!" Lesley shouted.

"My fault, how in the devil is this my fault? It was your dog!" Danni shot back.

"You're the one who started the fight!"

"No, you're the one who threatened to kick my butt!"

"Correction, I threatened to kick your scrawny butt and still will!" Lesley slammed her back against Danni. The shorter blonde protested. Tavington suddenly jumped to his feet.

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU" He screamed the two girls jumped banging their heads together. He smirked at them. "Now, if I hear so much as a moan out of either of you, I'll shoot you, Cornwallis's favorite or not." Then he sat back down in the chair. The girls whimpered and Danni whispered.

"He freaks me out" Lesley just nodded in agreement.
