So, I lost my lights thanks to a snowstorm on October 28, 2011… Therefore, with a laptop with a two-hour battery and nothing better to do I decided to write the next chapter and work on a few others. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my Saturday night but what, the hell, could I do with no lights and no internet. Also very pissed cause without lights we have no heat and no water meaning no hot shower before bed T_T. Now, with my rant done, on with the show!
Jamie walked down to Robin's farm the day after he trapped her in his shed. He walked in to her yard and looked around. He smiled as he saw her crop he glanced around again and soon left the yard before seeing her dog sitting on the front step looking rather upset. He walked over, knelt down and put his hand out to the dog.
"Hey little guy, come here." Jamie smiled and tried coaxing shadow over.
Shadow looked to Jamie and growled at him before biting his hand. Jamie pulled back quickly and then quickly swatted him with the other hand. Shadow tumbled to the side and yelped with pain. He quickly took off running away from Jamie before stopping, looking back growling, and barking at him then took off once more.
Ellen walked over hearing the barking she looked to Jamie and frowned slightly confused. She cleaned her hands on her apron and waved to him when he turned around. Jamie stood looking at her a moment before waving back to her.
"Hello, Jamie, best of luck in the horse race today." Ellen smiled.
"Oh yea, you too!" Jamie smiled to her. "I just came to check up on Robin's dog."
"Why where is Robin?" Ellen looked to the empty house a little worried.
"She had to leave town for a bit." Jamie started to scratch the back of his head. "I was with her yesterday and then she just said she had to leave and left. She asked me to keep an eye on her farm and her dog."
"Really? I wonder why she did not ask me to." Ellen hummed softly curious as to why Robin would not come to her, seeing, as they were neighbors and friends.
Jamie waved and went back to his farm quickly to get his horse for the race. He had to get them ready and down to the track as well as make sure his guest is not going hungry. Jamie passed people on the way to his house he kept glancing at them quickly very nervous that he was going to stopped and questioned. Once he made it to his house, he did not stay long putting food in the shed grabbing his fastest horse.
Shadow ran across the bridge trying to escape Jamie and ran straight in to the woods. He whined and looked around his head and tail down. He whined and sniffed around looking for something or someone familiar. He walked up to the woodcutter's house and whined scratching at the door. Woody opened the door and looked down as Shadow looked up to him and barked.
"Hey boy, Kurt this is Robin's pooch isn't it?" Woody looked back to Kurt
"Hmm, yea…" Kurt walked over to him and knelt down. "What are you doing here boy?"
"Bring him home he might have got lost." Woody smiled and pushed Kurt out the door quickly.
Kurt picked Shadow up and looked at him before smiling realizing how heavy he got. Walking out of the woods and across the bridge, he reached her house and knocked on the door. When he got no response, he knocked once more then opened the door looking in. He put Shadow down and checked around before hearing shadow scratching at his bowl.
"She did not feed you?" Kurt frowned a bit, as it did not seem like her not to feed Shadow.
Kurt looked around the house before finding the dog food. He filled Shadows bowl and watched him eat. Frowning he patted the dog gently then looked around the house humming nothing seemed out of place but a lot seemed off. He checked around the house and saw her watering pale in the corner and it was empty. He left the house then went to the back and looked over her plants they were all dry. He had a bad feeling but could not put his finger on it nor could he say what was wrong.
The horse race went off without a hitch and few questioned why Robin did not show. Jamie only said she just up and left no reason. He spoke little to people there and just did what he needed to do while there. He raced his horse to the best of its ability and won the races again this year. He took his prize and left quickly with his horse going back to his house to get dinner.
Jamie paced his house what was he going to do. He kidnapped Robin and if he released her she would defiantly let everyone know what he did but he could not keep her captive could he? He had many questions running through his head even more when he went to check on her and saw her laying in the opened hay her food untouched. Kicking the door, she jumped and looked to him before narrowing her eyes.
"Eat or you will starve." Jamie's voice was a bit cold.
"Rather starve thank you." Robin spat out before getting comfortable in the hay again.
Jamie growled and left the shed before thinking. He would have to tend her crops and his now cause of Ellen. He walked back to his house and thought a bit. A Little more work in his day would not hurt and Robin did the majority of it. He would have to make sure to put all her plants in her shipping bin, so no one got suspicious of him. Smiling in satisfaction of figuring out what to do, he went in to his house for the night. He also would have to figure out what to do soon as the nights were cold and winter was getting closer. He would figure it out tomorrow for no she would was set with the hay and horse blankets in the shed.
Robin lay in the hay a horse blanket pulled over her legs and lower body a second one over her upper body. She looked though the small window near the top of the shed and frowned as the stars sparkled freely above her. She knew the date and knew there was less than two weeks until winter. She had to get out or she would freeze in there no matter how many blankets she had or how thick the hay was.
The next day Robin woke up to the sun's reflection shining on her face. She looked around and found the food she refused to eat the night before still their waiting for her to eat. She felt sore all over due to the lacking sleeping arrangements but she could not do much to fix it. She tried to escape again to little avail and even just pounded on the door to get some attention.
Noontime came around and she given up to just sitting in the corner-contemplating if she could fit through the window, if she could reach it. She thought a bit before hearing a couple voices outside, Katie and Liz. Robin rushed to the door and pounded on it before she hears Jamie's voice as well.
"Jamie you were the last one to see Robin before she left did she tell you anything?" Katie spoke, always being the gossip girl with Eva at the bar.
"No but she did say she would send a letter later on letting us know if she was coming back or not." Jamie spoke calmly in quiet voice.
"Aw, I was hoping you knew. You are taking care of her plants too Right. Well if you need any help, please let me know! Robin is a good friend I want to help her any way I can!" Liz was always happy girl and as long as you did not make her cry, she would be your best friend.
The two left and Robin growled deeply in her chest realizing Jamie was hiding her from the village by saying she was out of town. What would happen now, she was not going to cover his rear when he let her go. She thought about a few things one he would force her to leave, threaten something dear to her to make her keep quiet, or he would kill her. She prayed deeply that it was not the later and one of the firsts. She looked around the shed again and tried to find something to help her get out but so far nothing was coming to her and she was stuck.
A few more days had gone by and it was the day of the harvest festival and the day after would start the week of the pumpkin collection. Jamie had given her more blankets and even a small room heater that he could turn on and off from his house. It was not much but it was enough for her not to freeze. She knew starting a fire would be bad only because she could not get out it would be suicide. She heard Jamie leave his house and go to the festival and she frowned, knowing he was going to have some fun while she continued to suffer.
Jamie got to the festival and gave Thomas a large eggplant before he wondered off to mingle with the others. Kurt watched everyone from a bench on the side and raised a brow having watch Jamie hand over an Eggplant. Kurt walked passed Jamie's house for the mines almost every day and he had never seen eggplants in his yard. He knew Robin had them and this made him rather curious having heard Robin just upped and left without a work to anyone but Jamie.
Kurt got up and walked behind Jamie, stopping to speak softly to him so only he could hear. He already did not have people liking him so he did not want to have more of an issue. He kept his head down and his hands his pocket. Jamie turned his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.
"You do not grow eggplant, I know you did something but not sure what yet. When I find out what you did, I will make you wish you never messed with me." Kurt's Voice was dark and full of anger.
"Try and figure it out" Jamie muttered back bringing a cup to his lips to hide his speaking. "But I will be sporting and give you a chance to run."
Kurt narrowed his eye and walked away quickly as dinner started. Jamie smiled and took a bowl before whispering to Thomas who only nodded and smiled. Jamie smiled back to him, walked to the podium and pulled out a piece of paper. Clearing his throat Jamie looked down to the paper and smirked slightly as everyone gave him their' full attention.
"Good evening everyone. I am sure you are all curious about our friend Robin. Well Just so you know I got a letter from her yesterday. I was going to share it then but I thought why not open it and read it here with everyone." Jamie smiled and opened the letter before looking around as people gathered wanting to hear what was going on. "Dear Jamie, I am sorry for leaving to abruptly and leaving everything in your lap. I do not know when or if I will be returning due to some issues that was happening. So you are no longer in the dark as to why I left I thought I should tell you that…"
"What tell you what?" Katie cried out along with a few others mumbling wanting to know.
"Um…" Jamie looked up as if he was shocked and surprised before his eyes found Kurt and they twinkled with triumph. "Tell you that I found that Kurt, who I thought was a friend, was the one attacking me and my farm. I wish to come back but as it stands, I am not sure what I wish to do, Sorry again. Love Robin."
Everyone stood in awe, of what they all had just heard. Kurt narrowed his eyes and back away quickly before leaving the grounds quickly heading back to his home before stopping at the bridge. He looked around and looked to Robin's house he quickly rush to her house slipping inside and shutting the door. Shadow greeted him with happy barks and run up to him to say hi. Jamie just lied to everyone and set Kurt up to guilty for the entire thing that happened. He had to think of a way to escape and find Robin so she could set things straight, but for now, he had to hide and plan what he could do and when he could do it.
