Fairy 6
"All done" said Danny
He turned back to her. The clothes fit ok but the halter top bra looked ridiculous.
"your going to wear that still?" said Nuada
"Ah why?" said Danny
He grabbed the knot at the top of the shirt and deftly undid it. He pulled it off with a yank that left her staring at him in shock.
"they will recognize this shirt and I have no wish to explain the blood" said Nuada
"what blood?" she said.
Her face was crimson again and she was trying not to think about the fact that Nuada had just removed her bra without taking her shirt off. He spread open the shirt and she saw the huge blood stain on it. He tossed it to the side of the road and turned back to the highway.
"come we have to be on our way" said Nuada
She watched him walk off her mind still in a daze, until he turned to see if she was following. She sighed and started walking after him. They must have walked all night or so it seemed to Danny. They reached the town about midday and simply walked in.
They passed the inn Danny's mom was staying in. she was still there it looked like if the crew bus was any indication. She wondered how long she had been gone already. Part of her wanted to go up to her mom's door and knock on it. Just to let her know she was alright Nuada was watching her with a slight frown on his face. She turned away from the inn and walked towards him.
"I thought for a moment you would go" he said softly
She looked back at the inn
"So did I" said Danny
She turned back towards him
"So how do we hitch a ride?" said Danny
He tilted his head for a second regarding her then he nodded.
"follow me" he said calmly
He walked towards another inn. There was a bus in front of it he walked right up and got in line behind a blond lady and her son. They filed onto the bus behind them. Danny almost held her breath when the guide doing check in looked at her list. She almost sighed in relief when the woman waved them on board.
Nuada walked towards the back of the bus and sat down. Danny slid past him and sat near the window. The seat was comfortable and Danny soon nodded off to sleep. Her head was resting on Nuada's shoulder and his arm around her. He looked out the window and gently touched his lips to her forehead.
He was surprised she had gone this long without dropping. He was impressed she could stay awake this long after performing two resurrections and hiking twelve miles to town. He watched the hotel she had been staring at on the way in as they pulled away from the curb and headed for the road.
He thought about her mother and what she had told him about her dad. He was certain that's where she got her heritage from. He smiled wryly and realized that was probably where she got her humor from as well. He put his arm around her and went into reverie. He needed the time to relax and think.
