We had to get out of there, Jonathan and Rick buried his body somewhere. While me and Evie went somewhere outside to get the fire started, thankfully. We sat down waiting for the boys to come back. I think Evie saw them coming back because she started talking, "What you supposed killed him?" Jonathan with a witty remark "Did you ever see him eat?"
"Seems that our American friends had a little misfortune of their own today." Rick said. "Why? What happened?" I said being curious. "Three of their diggers were, uh… melted." Rick said confused. I had my eyes wide open, mouth open in shock. While Evie and Jonathan started asking Rick questions. "What?" "How?"
"Salt acid. Pressurized salt acid. Some kind of ancient booby trap." Confused himself, well freaked. I know I am. To make matters worse Jonathan had to say something. "Maybe this place really is cursed." While the wind blew. I looked at them quite scared, turned my head to look at Rick. We knew something was wrong in this place, from the last time we were here.
Evie being herself, "Oh, for goodness' sake, you three!" I had to ask her, "You don't believe in curses?" Rick kept the fire going, prodding. "I believe if I can see it and I can tough it, it's real. That's what I believe." Evie said confidently. Rick saying at the same time grabbing his shotgun, "yeah? Well I believe in being prepared." Locking his gun at the end.
"Let's see what our friend the Warden believed in." Jonathan saying grabbing a bag to his left. "Jonathan? Don't tell me you grabbed that off a dead man? You are just a sick man." I said. While he was going around his back, "argh." Pulling his hand out, Evie screamed a little, Rick was ready to shoot, I was ready to shoot and it's not a good combo with being jumpy. "What?" Rick demanded at the same time Evie was hiding her face, turning her head slowly towards Jonathan. "My God, what is it?"
He went back in the bag, I was ready to shoot at whatever came out of that bottle. Relieved Jonathan said, "A broken bottle. Glenlivet. Twelve years old! He may have been a stinky fellow, but he had good taste." Opening the bottle and having a sip. Me and Evie smiled and laughed a little. "Oh, I hate you right now, Jonathan. Also, I better have a sip after what you put me through." Smirking.
Suddenly, we heard horses' neighs and voices. Rick got up, I followed him quickly grabbing my guns and Kurki Swords. Just in case I run out of bullets. Rick gave Evie his shotgun, "Take this. Stay here." Me and Rick went off to look, I can hear Evie calling after us along with Jonathan calling Evie to stay there.
Me and Rick went behind one of the walls that's still standing. "You ready?" I asked Rick. He nodded. All we saw was loads of people on the horses in black. We started shooting at them. We both heard Jonathan calling out for us. "O'Connell's!" We saw him getting chased by a man in black. Rick being him, decided to tackle him off his horse. I just jumped down. Running towards them, I saw that he had his sword out. Which Rick shot at, he turned his back shooting someone. I could see him grabbing another sword out. I grabbed mine out, deflecting his blow. I looked at him, he's cute. Rick knew just let me at it, so he had my back shooting at people.
We kept on deflecting each other's blows. I think I surprised him. I think Rick had enough, he saw a bomb and lit it on fire. I saw that the man stopped, looking behind me. Turned and saw Rick with it lit. "Enough! Yallah!" Stopping everything. I just shivered at how his voice is. Deep, hot accent. "We will shed no more blood, but you must leave. Leave this place or die. You have one day. Yallah! Nimshi!" He left on his horse. Along with the others.
I took the bomb off him and took the fuse out. He went to check on Evie, while me, I'm just thinking of that man that left. I've never felt like this before, I mean I had a boyfriend but that was nothing, nothing compared to him. I know I just met/fought with him. It's stupid to call it 'love at first sight' but wait and see. Wait and see what this adventure will bring.
