Kurt relaxed in the dark house. He sat on the floor with Shadow sitting in his lap whining softly. Kurt looked down to Shadow and patted him softly on the head before leaning his head back against the door. Closing his eyes, he soon fell asleep without realizing he did. He woke up just as the sun started to shine over the horizon.
In the morning, he stayed hidden before hearing someone outside the house. Keeping low in the house he crawled over to a window and looked outside seeing Jamie in the yard collecting the pumpkins and eggplants Robin was growing then watered them and left. Kurt hummed and thought that Jamie had to be the reason Robin was not around.
Robin sat in the shed wrapped in a horse blanket wrapped around her. She picked at the food Jamie gave her. She looked around and sighed heavily wishing for an idea to come to her head to get out or maybe someone to find her. Thinking a bit she wondered if she could break the glass on the shed and put a flag out but then she would risk the little warm she had escaping.
She heard Jamie was back in the yard when the dog barked and the sound to the shipping bin banging and thumping. She quickly rushed to the window and up on to a box looking over the lip of the sill and seeing him dropping pumpkins and Eggplant in to his bin. She frowned, as she knew those were her crops. Kicking the side of the wall before dropping down and dropped in to the hay. She curled up and started to cry unable to escape and stop him and there were five days left of fall.
Night came quickly in the fall and Kurt looked outside seeing lights on in homes around. He slipped out of the house and walked down the street quietly as he could to try and not attract attention. He walked his way to Jamie's house and hid behind a tree looking at the yard. He bit his lower lip trying to figure what his next move would be. He slipped up to the house, ducked under the window and then slipped up to look in.
Kurt saw Jamie sitting comfortable on a reclining chair looking very sour as he ate dinner watching the news. His dog laid next to him sleeping before Jamie got up making the dog lift its head. Jamie walked across the house and started to put another plate of food together then walking to the back door. Kurt moved quickly around the side of the house to watch Jamie as he pushed the food in to the shed then leave with an empty plate.
"That is where she is." Kurt growled softly before hiding behind the house as Jamie went back inside.
Quickly Kurt crossed the yard and over to the shed. He pulled over a few scrap logs and rocks before climbing up to the window on the side and looked in. He saw Robin inside curled in the hay with horse blankets and a small heater. He tapped the glass until she looked up to him and quickly stood up and climbed on to a box inside to look out to him.
"Can you hear me in there?" He spoke in a bit of a whisper.
"A little yea, Kurt, get me out of here please." Robin begged her hands on the glass.
"I cannot right now Jamie is home. And the door is locked with a dead bolt." Kurt put his hand against the glass where hers was. "But I will get you out."
"I am sorry I yelled at you Kurt." Robin frowned. "Can you forgive me?"
"I already did. Robin Jamie has the whole town thinking I chased you away. I can only come back at night when no one is out." Kurt seethed slightly. "If I tried to break you out now he would hear."
"Wait the next festival, he will go to that. Come back then and get me out." Robin smiled finding hope. "I do not know how you will do it but please!"
"I built this shed; I can get you out no problem" Kurt smiled "where did you put your Ax and hammer?"
"In my tool chest by the door, tell me is Shadow ok?" Robin whined softly.
"Yes he is… I got to go I think he is coming back." Kurt frowned having to leave. "I will be back on the thirtieth for you I swear."
Robin watched as Kurt jumped down then moved out of site. She prayed he would get home, or where he was going, safely. Kurt slinked out of the yard, as if he was a cat, then down the road before running full speed seeing lights here out and he did not have to worry about being found. He had to wait until the last day of the month to get her out of the shed but it was a wait worth waiting. He would get her out, get his innocence, and even prove whom the real guilty one was.
A few days went by and it was the last day of fall and the day of the pumpkin festival. Robin heard the chicken's crow and wake the new day up. She knew what day it was and knew her hope was coming to save her. She had to be patient and had to wait until Kurt got there to set her free. She looked to the door and saw food as usual and she went over to it sighing over the slim pickings of toast and eggs.
Kurt woke to Shadow licking his face he stretched and yawned before looking around. He had become accustomed to sleeping in the little house it was nice and the bed was comfortable. He looked around the room and stretched once more. He got up, slinked across the room quickly, and pulled the curtain open slightly looking out seeing Ellen and Blue leave the farm to head to the town square. Quickly as possible, Kurt dressed, grabbed Robin's ax and hammer, and left the house through the back with Shadow.
They walked up the river to the cliffs as they were taking the long way to Jamie's to avoid anyone. They passed Siabara's house out then Ronald's home. Across the road was Jamie's ranch and he did not see anything in his way. Moving quickly he ran across the road and in to the ranch and before quickly hiding in the shadow of the cliff and house with Shadow at his feet. Kurt looked down and smirked before looking to his watch; it was noon and it was his time to strike.
Robin sat in the hay curled up and sighing heavily. She was starting to think she was forgotten but she did not want to give up hope that she was going to be saved. She was pulled from her thoughts when a loud bang sounded on the door. Jumping up Robin rushed to the door before she jumped back hearing another loud bang.
"Kurt is that you?" Robin cried out to him.
"Yea I am here, Back up I am going to chop through the lock on the door." Kurt spoke as he took aim once more on the door around the lock. "Once I get through we will run to town square."
"Ok, hurry up; I want to make him pay for what we did." She frowned and moved away from the door to wait.
"Almost there" Kurt worked harder then stopped hearing a growl. He turned and saw Jamie's large black dog growling at him and slowly stepping closer. "His dog… I forgot about his dog."
"Kurt! Run his dog will attack!" Robin cried and ran to the door banging on it before hearing a growl near the door and a bark. "Kurt, what was that?"
"That was Shadow." Kurt reached down to try to pull him back but was unable to stop Shadow from bolting and attacking the other dog. "Shadow NO!"
"NO Shadow!" Robin threw herself against the door. "Stop Him!"
Kurt rushed to try keeping the dogs from fighting though not having much luck. Robin kept ramming the door and each time the door creaked and snapped. Kurt pulled the two dogs away from each other then was attacked by Jamie's. Robin hit the door and it finally gave way as she toppled to the ground through the broken door. Robin looked up and saw Kurt falling back with a dog over him biting and clawing at him.
Robin rushed as fast as she could to Kurt balling bother her fists together and swung knocking the dog away. She felt horrible for hitting the dog but it was the only way to get him off Kurt. She pulled Kurt up as he babied his arm that the dog was biting. He looked to her and gave a weak smile as he started to get up with her.
"We have to go to the square" Kurt grabbed her arm and pulled.
"You need to see Alex first." Robin tried to pull him in to another direction.
"No Square first if we go to Alex we might not have enough time to catch him." Kurt spoke in a stern tone and gave her a rather angered look. "He hurt you we need to get him now."
"Ok let's go then."
Robin and Kurt walked as quickly as they could, going to the square. Robin removed her vest on the way down to the square and wrapped Kurt's arm with it to stifle the bleeding. When they reached the square, they saw everyone talking and having fun. They looked to each other then stepped in to where people would notice them and stopped. Their arrival actually stopped everyone in the square especially Jamie.
Everyone looked to them but no one moved or said a thing everyone was surprised to see Robin after she had left over a week. They were also surprised to see Kurt was around again after he disappeared the day after. What surprised most of the towns people was, Kurt and Robin stood side by side, Kurt with a bloody arm wrapped in a pink vest and Robin looking half-starved and sickly.
