Okay, okay, I know it's been super long since my last update, but I've been very busy lately. I have my exams in one week, and I'm performing in a musical one day before the exams start! Not to mention this huge writing assignment I've got due…
But eh, you don't wanna hear about that right? You wanna know what happened to Lee and Ling! So, let's juts skip over my whining, and get straight to my writing.
Lee and Ling run up over a hill.
They begin to run through a small clearing, but Lee stops.
She looks back, waiting.
Ling: Lee! What are you doing! Come on, we gotta get outta here!
He tries to pull her along, but she pulls back.
Lee: Keep running. I've got a plan.
Ling looks confused, but Lee pushes him along.
Ling looks back for a moment, then continues running.
Lee turns back to the Lao Shings' direction, and waits.
Ling hides behind a tree a few metres away from Lee, and watches her.
The Lao Shings begin to run up the hill.
Lee starts to run away from them, slowly, and then pretends to trip.
She falls on the ground.
The three Lao Shings reach, and surround her.
Guard 1: Well, well, well, what have we here?
Guard 2 kneels beside Lee and holds her face up in his hand.
Guard 2: Looks like we caught ourselves a pretty little girl.
Guard 3: Hey, she looks familiar.
Guard 1: Please Zou, I think we'd remember someone this pretty.
Guard 2: Why'd Snake say to take her and not the boy anyway? What kind of a threat can she be?
Guard 1: Probably wants her for himself. (Chuckles) (To Lee) Hey sweetheart, how'd you like to bear me a son?
Lee pretends to faint.
Ling frowns and steps out from behind the tree.
Ling: Hey! Leave her alone!
The men look up.
Guard 2: Get him!
Ling: Oh crud. Not again!
He runs, and Guards 1 and 3 runs after him.
Guard 2 stands, and looks after the others, chuckling slightly.
Lee, behind him, opens her eyes, and looks around.
She spies a sword beside her.
Quietly, she stands, and picks up the sword.
She inches her way towards the man, drawing the sword back as she goes.
Crack.
She steps on a twig, and the man spins back.
Lee swings.
CLANG!
The sword hits the man in the head, and knocks him unconscious.
Lee looks at the unconscious man.
Lee: Hey don't look at me like that. This is a lot nicer than what I was going to do to you.
She puts the sword in her sash, and runs after Ling.
Up ahead.
Ling is cornered on the edge of a cliff.
The men advance toward him slowly.
Guard 1: Finally, we get to finish the job.
Guard 3: Did you really think you'd get away with spying on the Lao Shings, you filthy Shun Fei coward?
Guard 1: We've killed more of your kind than I can count.
Lee appears behind them.
Lee: So that'd be like, what? Three?
The men turn.
Guard 1: You again? I thought we left you back there with E Xing!
Guard 3 gasps.
Guard 3: It's her! Her! She's the one that captured us last night!
Guard 1: What?
He looks at Lee, and frowns, then smiles slightly.
Guard 1: She got lucky that time.
He advances toward Lee, but she stands her ground.
Guard 1: What is it about you that Snake finds so interesting?
Lee: You'd know better than I would, Uncle.
Guard 1: Huh?
Lee kicks him in the stomach, and he falls to his knees.
Guard 3 rushes toward her, but Ling runs, grabs him by the neck, and pulls him down the ground.
Lee: (To Ling) Come on.
The two run away.
Guard 1, still panting, raises his head.
Guard 1: Zi Mei…
Lee and Ling run down a hill, and reach the cave they were in before.
Lee: Finally, I can get out of this stupid dress!
She begins to untie her sash, then pauses, and looks back at Ling.
Ling: What?
Lee does the 'turn around' gesture with her hand.
Ling: (realizing) Oh!
He turns away from Lee.
Lee undoes her sash, and begins to disrobe.
Ling tries to sneak a peek at Lee.
A shoe flies through the air, and hits him in the head.
Ling: Ow!
Lee walks forward, now dressed as she was before, and holding her bag.
Lee: Serves you right.
She picks up her shoe, and tries to put it on.
She falls forward slightly, but Ling caches her.
They gaze into each other's eyes, for what seems like eternity.
Ling: Uh, here.
He unties the scarf on his arm, and hands it to Lee, awkwardly.
Ling: Almost forgot to give it back to you.
He chuckles nervously.
Lee smiles, blushing.
Lee: Yeah, thanks.
She ties it in her hair, and begins to walk out of the cave.
Voice in Lee's head: Lee…
Lee ignores the voice.
Voice: Lee, now.
Lee: (Whispers) No.
Voice: Yes, now!
Lee stops, and sighs.
Lee: Ling?
Ling: Yeah?
Lee: I'm thinking of a number.
Ling: What?
Lee: Just guess a number, alright?
Ling: Okay, 4.
Lee: (Sighs) You got it.
Ling: So, what do I win?
Lee: Close your eyes.
He closes his eyes, eagerly.
Lee walks closer to him.
Voice: Now, now, now…
Lee hits Ling on the head.
Ling: Ow! What was that for?
Lee: For being an idiot.
She begins to walk away.
Voice: (Sighing) Oh, Lee.
Lee looks back at Ling, still rubbing his head.
Lee: You coming or what?
Guard 2 bursts out of the trees suddenly, and grabs Lee.
Lee shrieks.
The guard holds a sword to her throat.
Guard 2: Now I see why Snake wanted you dead. You're nothing but trouble, you little wench!
Lee glances fearfully at Ling.
Lee: (Mouths) Help.
Sorry folks, but I gotta get back to my project. At least it's nearly summer, so I'll have more time to write. Please review:D
