11. Chapter 11: Ryan

Ch. 11: Ryan

The wolf mutts are back and there are at least 15 of them surrounding the shack. There is no way Mary and I will be able to escape without some major damage to our bodies. But with the arrows and bow we should be able to scare them off, but I only have 7 arrows and I'm not a very good shot. I load my first arrow and fire, thankfully it hits one of the mutts. I load another one and fire but I miss another one, then Mary asks if she could try? I say sure why not you couldn't be worse than me. I hand over the bow and the arrows, she calmly loads an arrow, aims, and hits a mutt right in the neck. She turns and smiles at me. "Show off", I say trying to sound indifferent. She looks at me kind of angry then decides to take her anger out on the dogs and the next five arrows she fires kill. "Ha!" she laughs giving me a grin. I can't help but let the look of astonishment come over in my eyes; she is pretty good with that bow. I still try to act indifferent though and she playful asks if I want to play a game. Now my answer right away is yes but I find out it's not that kind of game with a board and stuff at home. She pulls out some knifes gives me half and says who hits the most wolves win? I shrug and say winner has to kiss the loser. She laughs and tells me great wager, and decides to bet for kisses and a foot rub that she'll win, I not being very confident that she was better at archery than me bet one hour of bed rest with her next to me. So we count down till five, then we start throwing, i kill three and miss 7 times, she kills the last six. "So you owe me five kisses she says grinning and a foot rub." I grin back lean over and kiss her once, pause twice, pause three times, four times, five times, 6 times, and after a while I stop counting after I think around 20 she asks what the extra will cost her? I say we have to move and that she can't complain and doubt where we're headed. She just smiles and says that no matter where we go she doesn't care as long as she is with me. I feel great when we get off the roof and gather the arrows and knifes, and we start heading north.
