Robin sat at the lake until the sky started to turn orange. She still did not understand what happened the night before. She remembered, being, attacked and then seeing Kurt and Jamie fighting both covered in mud. Now she found out her secret admirer is Kurt but he may have been the one that came at her. She did not know who to believe she knew liked them both, and knew quite a bit about both. She knew Jamie because they spent many nights at the bar for dinner together, and she knew Kurt from hints Joe gave and little things Kurt did unknowingly. She got up and grabbed the box carrying it back home.
She crossed the bridge going back to her home and looked to the woodcutter's house once more seeing the lights on and silhouettes but nothing else. She continued to her home before hearing someone calling her name. She lifted her head and looked around before seeing Jamie.
"Robin! I am glad I caught up to you. I was looking for you." Jamie bent slightly breathing a little heavy she could see a light bruising on his cheek.
"Evening Jamie" Robin stepped away from him a bit.
"Please about last night, I swear to you I had nothing to do with any of the damage, I saw him sneaking to your back yard. When I saw you, I waited to see what he would do. I did not know he would attack you. I am so sorry; I was not faster in getting to you." Jamie looked to her with pleading eyes begging her to believe him.
"It is ok, Jamie, It is not your fault." She frowned a bit she did not believe him to be a bad person nor could she fully believe him to not be now. "I am going home. Have a good night."
"Wait I wanted to help so I put some of my own crops in to your bin enough to match what you lost so you can start new." Jamie smiled to her, as he was being overly nice. "I just wanted to know if you would join me for the fireworks tonight."
"Fireworks… Tonight? I forgot all about those." Robin sighed a bit.
"Let me take you. You will enjoy it. I promise." Jamie smiled putting his hand out to her.
"I have to bring this home first." Robin let the idea tumble around in her head before looking to Jamie as he gave her begging eyes. She smiled softly it was as if he knew she was a sucker for puppy eyes. "Sure why not."
"Great! Hurry bring those back then come to the Beach I will be there!" Jamie smiled and ran off waving back.
Robin felt a bit better not a lot, but she was not going to let her guard down tonight. She got home and placed the tools down on her table quietly. She pulled the comb from her hair and set it down before she gave her hair a quick brush then left for the beach. The walk was quick she even stopped looking to the woodcutters house looking to it before continuing.
Robin arrived at the beach and saw Jamie sitting looking out over the ocean with a basket next to him. She walked over and sat next to him startling him slightly. He smiled and reached in the basket and pulled out two cocktail glasses and a canteen of berry cocktail. He poured each a glass and handed one to her.
"Thank you." Robin took the cocktail and sipped it. "When will they start?"
"Shortly, thank you for coming." Jamie smiled to her before relaxing back.
They sat a moment as the fireworks started. The Flashing lights of many colors and loud bang and booms came through the night sky. Jamie smiled as watched these every year and enjoyed them. Robin smiled, as this was her first time seeing fireworks without her parents. She relaxed a bit and sipped her cocktail a bit more enjoying the small buzz it was giving her. Jamie watched her a moment before moving over her blocking her sight from the fireworks. Robin looked up to him shocked at what he was doing.
Jamie placed his hands on her hands before leaning down kissing her with quite a bit of force. He was all be it rougher then her first kiss with Kurt. She kissed him back and his hands moved from her hands and down to her waist holding her down. She put her hands on his shoulders pushing on him to push him back. Jamie pulled back slightly and looked down to her before moving off her his face red.
"Sorry, I could not stop myself." Jamie blushed deeper.
"ah…I ahh." Robin was a little speechless and looked to the sky as the last firework twinkled and faded.
"I will walk you home." Jamie got up and quickly picked up and helped her to her feet.
They walked back to her house quietly and stopped just outside. He stepped back a bit before looking down then back up to her. Robin blushed deeply and stepped to him kissing his cheek softly before smiling and walking in to her house. She shut the door, and locked it before taking a deep breath and sighed softly. She looked to her feet seeing Shadow ran over and sat at her feet.
"I am scared Shadow. I do not know who to believe and who to like." She Reached down and patted him before picking him up and walking to her bed.
She changed in to her pajamas and as she planned in her head, what her next move was. Planting crops for summer would be a bad move. She frowned and patted shadow. She smiled hearing the dog yawn and whimper slightly as he fell asleep. Robin closed her eyes and planned Eggplants for the fall.
A few days have passed and the sheep festival was taking place. Robin being a sucker for seeing cute lambs and sheep went to the festival. She looked around and stopped at one cute sheep before petting her. She smiled and checked over the sheep thoroughly before looking to the others. She turned and Ellen smiling with a thumbs up. Robin quickly walked over to her.
"Is that one your sheep?" Robin smiled
"Yes He had a great coat and very healthy. We have a good chance to win." Ellen smiled brightly.
"I hope you win." Robin smiled brightly her eye catching something before rushing across the festival ground. "Ooh look it's a baby lamb!"
"Yes it is. She is cute huh?" Ellen walked over and lifted the lamb handing it to Robin to hold. "I cannot wait till you can get your own live stock."
Robin and Ellen had fun through the festival, and quickly moved to the larger sheep competing and smiled as Thomas stood on a podium with a few cards. He looked around before clapping getting everyone's attention. He smiled and cleared his throat.
"Thank you all for joining us. It is time to announce the winner of this year's Sheep festival." Thomas smiled as everyone cheered. "Now those who joined this year were Ellen and Hank, Blue, and Jamie. This year the winner is, JAMIE!"
"What…" Ellen looked confused and looked to Robin. "I thought for sure it was a win this year for us."
"I am sorry Ellen. I still think you should have won." Robin hugged Ellen to make her feel better.
They Left the festival ground and walked back to the ranch. Robin frowned a bit and sighed. They relaxed and spoke about the new season coming and everything that had happen in the past few days. They have been so busy with preparing for the festival, and recovering from another attack. This was their first time since watching Kurt and Joe fix Robin's house.
The new season started and everyone was already starting new crops and new projects. The trees changed colors and the sun set earlier. The earth was dying once more as it was now fall and winter was coming around the corner. Now was the season everyone needed to stock up on extra foods, lumber for burning and clean their houses out before closing it up tight.
Robin did over time in her our yard having plowed almost every square inch of her yard and planted a plant wherever they could fit. She was going to make up for lost profit last month and make sure she had enough to carry her over the winter. She had a lot of work to do and a lot more to come as winter was going to be cold, long, and very boring.
She checked her incomes and did a few profit predictions. She smiled when she found that if all went right she could afford a chicken coop and a chicken as well as still being able to survive the winter and the start of spring. She smiled as she nodded and thought of making sure she had a little extra.
She grabbed her basket and took off out in to the forests and mountains to pick herbs, nuts, berries, and other thing she could scavenge and sell. She walked in to the forest and held her basket picking things up with her free hand. She even crossed the bridge and looked to the woodcutters seeing Joe outside goofing off on a sawhorse with Kurt watching. She walked over and smiled to them.
"Hey Joe, Hey Kurt" Robin spoke cheerfully.
"Hey Robin, what brings you over here?" Joe smiled as he moved to do a handstand on the sawhorse.
"Hi…" Kurt spoke quickly and softly before looking to his brother. "You are going to get hurt."
"No I won't" Joe smirked as he got himself balanced on his hands his feet over him on the sawhorse. "This is eas…Eas…EAAASSSSYYYY! AAAHHHHH!" Joe fell shortly after he got his balance up and fell over landing on his back.
Robin and Kurt both dropped what they were doing and rushed to him. Kurt quickly helped him sit up and give him something to lean back on. Robin quickly pulled her water canteen from her rucksack as well as a clean bandana. Joe gasped for air, having it knocked out of him good. Robin checked his head before sighing softly.
"We need to get him to the doctor's" Robin got up quickly wetting the bandana pushing the cold water to the back of his head before pulling away seeing red. "Let's hurry he is bleeding"
Kurt slowly got up helping Joe up before he and Robin helped him to the doctors. Once there they got in to the building and got him to a bed before Alex walked over frowning a bit. Kurt quickly left the room once Joe was set on the bed. Robin sighed and looked to Alex.
"What happened?" Alex pulled out Joe's file from his cabinet.
"He wanted to be an acrobat and lost his balance landing on his back and head. He fell off a saw horse." Robin was worried for him and crossed her arms in a worried way.
"Oh well, He will be staying the night most likely. I will take care of him." Alex shooed her from the room before going to fix Joe up.
"Ok Alex, I will let Kurt know." Robin left and walked out of the building seeing Kurt sitting on the fence near the street. "Hey."
"What did Alex say?" Kurt did not even turn his head to look at her.
"Your brother is unable to be helped and will have to put him out of his misery of being thick skulled and show offish." Robin smirked a bit.
"Oh really, look like I will finally get my own room." Kurt smiled looking back to her before getting off the fence. "Thanks for the help."
"Any time. Now I have to go back to your place and get by basket." Robin smiled and headed off going down to the woodcutters once more Kurt following suit.
The walk was quiet all the way down to the shop. Robin picked up her basket and put what fell out back in. She turned and looked back to Kurt and smiled to him and started to head off before she felt his hand gently on her shoulder. She turned and looked back to him taking a deep breath trying to keep calm.
"Yes Kurt." She spoke softly to him not wanting to sound scared or uncomfortable. She was still trying to debate what was going on with him and Jamie.
"Please, come with me to the moon viewing festival. We can go where ever you wish to go to see it."Kurt looked to her his eyes a warm chocolate brown sparkling with emotions.
"Kurt I… I do not know… after the other night…" Robin looked down having seen his brow furrow and her eyes narrow.
"Robin please, if you do not go with me, promise, you will not go out alone that night. At least not alone" Kurt looked to him his hand tightening a bit on her shoulder. "I know who has been behind all this."
"Who… who is behind all this, can you prove it?" Robin looked to him wanting him to tell her it was someone but not him or Jamie.
"I can prove it… but no one would believe me…" Kurt let her shoulder go looking almost defeated. "Nor would you want to believe me."
"Kurt, tell me!"Robin stomped her foot at him wanting him to tell her who.
"It is Jamie. He has been the one attacking you and your plants." Kurt spoke words she wished not to hear. She did not want it to be Jamie even thou, it could still be Kurt that is doing such things.
"You are crazy… Jamie is a nice guy he treats me to dinner gave me planting advice, why would he want to do something like that to someone who is just doing it to live." Robin tried to defend him only because he has been very nice to her.
"Figured you would say something like that," Kurt snorted and turned to walk away. "I should have known when I saw you two at the beach."
"You saw us?" Robin put her basket down and walked up close to him.
"Yea, though I really wish I hadn't" Kurt snapped looked at her, he was hurt and she could see it in his eyes. He invited her to the moon viewing and her denying had confirmed having seen her with Jamie multiple times. "Just go away… You like him you are just going to be like everyone else too."
Robin stepped back hearing him say she was going to be like everyone else. She grabbed his shoulder and pulled turning him before her fist contacted with his jaw. She was a farm girl and she had muscle to prove it. She narrowed her eyes and stormed off quickly grabbing her basket and going home. Kurt held his jaw and frowned looking to the ground hissing with pain before he turned his head hearing a laugh. He saw Jamie walking up the path with a string of fish hanging from his shoulder. Jamie just gave Kurt a wink and made a thumb down before running his hand thumb across his neck. Jamie saw what happened and smiled knowing he just won everyone in town once more.
