Our heroes get into a little trouble but things are also heating up very fast and they are beginning to enjoy it.

"...Olive...Olive..."

Olive was stirred awake. She saw the very up close and personal face of Ruby.

"Ruby?" Olive questioned, rubbing her eyes.

"I can't stop thinking about you."

Ruby was on all fours looking down at her sleepy assistant.

"R - really?" Olive chuckled nervously.

Ruby lifted her shirt, "It's so hot out here isn't it?"

"Yeah...it's getting hotter," Olive gulped.

There she was in just a sports bra. Ruby attempted to unfasten it. Olive was anticipating a lot from this. The way Ruby was holding her breasts like she was trying to hide melons. To make things even stranger, Ruby was making weird noises. Inhaling and exhaling while showing her teeth and staring at the teenager with those scary blue eyes.

"I want you Olive!"

Olive was so enthralled she didn't even move. "You can have me," she said, dazed in a dreamy state.

Ruby opened up her bra finally and Olive was doused with cold water.

"Uhhh..." She was completely drenched.

"Time to get up." Of course Quill would wake her up at that exact moment and ruin a perfectly good wet dream by literally making it took wet.

"What's happening?"

"Ruby's gone."

"Gone? Gone where?"

"I don't know!" He snapped, "She wasn't here when I woke up!"

Olive sat up. A chill ran down her spine. She cleaned her glasses nervously. "Was it Van Pelt's men?"

"She'd take them all out with one punch. She's a tough girl."

"Savages?"

"I intend to find out," he suited up, packing his bag and loading a revolver. Olive frantically gathered her things. "I think it's best you stay here. Keep an eye on the camp."

"But...what if you need help?"

He held back a laugh, "I think I'll manage."

"But how do I get a hold of you if she comes back or I'm under attack?"

"Just shout as loud as you can," he snickered to himself as he walked away.

Olive wasn't sure what to do. She was too terrified to go off on her own without Ruby. Now with Quill gone she was defenseless. No real weapons or anything if she was ambushed. She wasn't sure how much more she could take. She knew she needed Ruby in order to survive. Lucky for her she didn't lose a life yet but if Ruby lost two more she was done for.

She sat there on the ground waiting. She secretly wondered how the party went last night Rhia was no doubt mad she didn't go. Out of nowhere there were these vibrations on the ground. She placed a hand on the grass. This was getting crazy. She put an ear to it. Rumbling. What was it? She turned around slowly and saw it. Like a dust storm coming right at her, billowing and picking up. These horned beasts. Rhinos in full on stampede.

Where could she go? They were coming in a perfect line. She ran, looking for cover. She tried screaming but her voice could hardly crack. She could try climbing another tree but she was very quickly running out of time. Suddenly she hit a snag. Someone or some thing grabbed her arm. She was pulled into a cave well a very uncomfortable crack in the side of a hill.

Her rescuer smiled at her. "Ruby?" Olive hugged her tight.

Ruby laughed, "Lucky I found ya! Where's Quill?"

"Out looking for you. Where on Earth have you been?"

"I found Van Pelt's camp...but before we do anything about that I need to talk to you about something," she said looking serious.

This worried Olive, Ruby was very cheerful and optimistic until then. "What?"

But before she could say anything a familiar bang from far away interrupted. The second one was closer, just outside the hill. Ruby took her hand. "Come on! We have to move!" Ruby led her into the jungle, way off the path.

They got down on their knees at one point. Ruby peered around them to see if the shooter was close by. Ruby saw another temple nearby that could work as a potential hideout slash trap for her would be assassin.

Up a top a high look out of one of the ancient ruins was a busty assassin covered in cammo gear including a mask. She spotted her targets running for the entrance of the temple through her scope. She climbed down and made it into the temple stealthily. On entering, she found Olive all alone and helpless by a wall, shaking and holding her arms. She turned and froze upon seeing the masked assailant.

"Oh, no, please...don't" she backed up into the wall covered in old writing. Pleading with her hands out, the assassin seemed to find this highly amusing. Until of course Ruby grabbed a hold of her hands from behind. Olive got out of the way and Ruby pushed her toward a statue similar to the one Olive pushed Ruby into only this one was built more like a medieval torture device. Olive helped close the statue, sealing the panicked woman inside.

Both Ruby and Olive had a laugh. But this was short lived. A dart shot out from an adjacent walk and struck Ruby in the neck. Olive caught her just barely before she fell. She pulled the dart out of her neck. She was growing pale fast. On her arm she could see only one black bar tattoo and it was beginning to fade.

"Stray bullet. Just my luck."

"No!" Olive protested. She laid a dying Ruby on the ground and did the only thing she thought could work. She decided CPR was the only option; even if she only took one class and she ended up breaking the dummy. She knew too much pressure was bad, try not to crack any ribs and the beat of Stay'n Alive by the Bee Gees was the exact rythm to be applied when compressing and giving air. Of course this meant the dilemma of putting her mouth onto Ruby's well to be fair she didn't have to be right on her but she didn't know that.

Ruby was fading fast. Olive was quick and precise. She was literally giving her one of her lives as one of her bars was fading. Ruby gasped, sitting up. She felt herself over in relief.

"Olive," she smiled, "You saved me!" She hugged her, squeezing her tight. She faced her, giving her an off kilter look, "Um I never heard of using tongue for CPR."

Olive started to blush, "Well that's the way we do it back home."

Ruby took hold of her seriously again, looking her in the eyes. "Olive. I'm totally comfortable that you like girls."

"Huh?"

"It's ok, Olive."

"Really?"

"Though I'm very intrigued because I never heard of this before."

"Oh...uh..."

"Maybe you could help me understand?"

Olive froze up, a different kind of fear because Ruby was closing her eyes and preparing to kiss her. Before anything could happen the room began to shake. The ceiling was caving in. Ruby looked like she was trying to decide something. "Oh forget it!" She kissed Olive hard on the lips and grabbed her hand. "Let's find somewhere else to talk!" They ran out of the temple, dodging debris as they fled.

More soon!
