A/N: Hello People! Another chapter, just like yesterday! That's to make up for the fact that I'll probably won't be able to post this week. I'm going to a new room and I don't think I have internet there yet. *wipes away tear*. So I'm posting today.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kickin' It as I hope you understand by now. ;).
What did you do?!
Jack's POV.
I wake up from sun that's shining straight in my face. I grunt. It's maybe seven in the morning. I look at Jason, he's sound asleep. I am still half asleep when I reach out to him and hit in in the head. The rule is, whoever from The Bows wakes up first, wakes up the rest, today it's me. Lovely. Jason tries to hit me back but his eyes are still closed so he hits the tree behind our tent. He shoots up in his bed. He's about to curse very loudly when I put my hand over his mouth. I heard something. Footsteps. He has heard it to. We look at each other while I take my hand of his mouth. Silently I take my bow and my case with arrows. I slide my knife in my belt and I see Jason do the same. Silently, I open our door we step out. A hooded figure is creeping to Cray's tent. I take an arrow from the case and put it on the bow, I draw, the bow straightens. It's a recurved bow, small and powerful. I look at Jason, he's done the same. We close in on the figure. It's listening at Cray's tent. Jason nods at me. 'You don't move.' I tell the figure, low and threatening. It freezes. 'Turn around slowly, no tricks, we will shoot you.' I tell, with a few words I told it that I'm not alone and we have weapons. Slowly the figure turns around.
We freeze. It's the head of the King's Guard, Kim's brother. He looks at our bows. 'Do you even know how to use those thief's?' He asks us, he looks at us like we're something he scraped of this boots. I release my arrow, and it misses his head by inches. It also pins his hood to one of the poles of Cray's tent. 'Another comment like that and I won't miss.' I tell him smiling, which makes me only more threatening. 'Wake the others. Start with Cray.' I tell Jason, he moves silently to the tent where Kim's brother is pinned to. I hear him softly talk to Cray. I hear shuffling and Cray comes out of his tent. He looks at me and I nod at the man. 'Head of the King's Guard, and son of the King, Cray.' I tell him, even though I'm sure he knows. He grins at me. 'Nice Pretty Boy.' We never use names that the guards don't know yet around strangers. Cray slowly walks towards him, I make sure I still have my shot. 'You got caught.' He tells Kim's brother smiling.
I swallow, I'm trying to figure out what to do if he attacks Cray. Shoot him or miss again. I have shot men before, but I never knew their sister. If Kim found out I did that, she would hate me forever. If she found out, a little voice says in my head. 'So what do we do with you?' Cray wonders out loud slowly walking up and down before the man. I realize I don't even know his name. I lean to Jason who's standing next to me again. 'What's his name again?' I whisper, so soft Jason can barely hear it. 'I think it's Frank.' He whispers to me. I nod, that's right Frank and Kimberly, the two royal children. Cray turns to me. 'Tell me Pretty Boy, you caught him, so, what do we do with him?' this was exactly was I was afraid of. I look at Jason, he shrugs almost unnoticeable. 'Well, I think that if we finish him, the King would hunt us down until we're all dead, so I don't think that's a good idea…' I let my sentence trail of, I need to check if Cray agrees. 'Very good Pretty Boy.' He motions for me to continue, but before I can Frank talks. 'Pretty Boy huh. My father will indeed hunt you down, but see I've heard about you from my spies, you should watch your back boy, you never know who's watching you.' He tells me, his dark brown eye drilling into mine. I release another arrow, it lands on the other side of his head. 'Don't threaten me.' I tell him, as I slowly put a new arrow on my bow. Cray smiles at me.
'You play a dangerous game boy.' Frank tells me, he shifts his weight, me and Jason pull our bows further back. A warning, don't move. Cray looks at Jason. 'Get the other Bows.' Jason nods and walks towards the two other Bow tents. Jerry, Eddie, Chris and Milan come out, bows in hand. Frank seems to realize he really is trouble as Jerry laughs. 'Well look at what the cat dragged in.' Milan smirks at Frank. They've had a run in before, Milan won. 'Blue Eyes, Idiot, tie him up.' Cray says. Jason, Blue Eyes, and Jerry, Idiot, come forward, Milan also takes aim at Frank, to cover the fact that Jason has now slung his bow over his shoulder as Jerry gets rope. When Jerry returns he pulls the arrows out of the wood and hands them to me. He grins at me. 'Inches Pretty Boy, inches.' Jerry smirks at me. I put the arrows back in the case.
When Franks hands are tied behind his back and we've taken his weapons, a sword and Milan fishes a knife out of his boot. 'Nice try.' He grins at Frank. He looks furious. 'Food Freak, Smith Son. Tell the other boys to go to the village, make sure Frankie here does not see them.' Eddie, Food Freak, and Chris, Smith Son, come in action. They go by all the tents and tell the others what to do. All the nicknames we use are based on something. Eddie for example, loves food, so we call him Food Freak. Chris is the son of a smith, hence the name. Jerry, well you get the idea. Cray motions for me and Jason to come with him, we walk away from Frank as Milan and Jerry stay with Frank. 'I want you two to go to the castle, check if they're already missing him.' We nod and jog of into the woods.
Kim's POV.
In the castle it's chaos. My brother is missing after a trip to find the thief's camp. My father is yelling orders at soldiers, they're planning on going to the forest and finding him. I go to my room, Annabeth left thirty minutes ago. She had to go home. I walk onto my balcony. I scan the streets of the village. My brother is so stupid, on his own in to the camp of Cray, full of thief's, with weapons. I realize as I think of Jack's bow. Jack! That's it. He can tell us if my brother is in the camp. I immediately grab my cloak and walk down the stairs. My dad is too busy to notice I'm leaving. I walk and when I reach the entrance hall I put on the hood of my cloak. I'm just looking to see if no one noticed I'm sneaking out. When I run into someone. He too is wearing a cloak and hood. There's a second boy with him. 'I'm sorry.' I say and I want to keep walking as I hear his reply. 'Not so fast Kimmy.' I freeze. I turn around slowly. The second boy whispers something to the guy I bumped into. He nods and the other disappears. 'Jack?' I ask. He lets his hood slide of and I see his familiar brown eyes. He smiles as I lower my hood too.
'Sneaking out Kim?' he asks. I roll my eyes, I do that a lot around him. 'I was actually looking for you.' I tell him. His grin widens. 'Really, what can I do for you?' he asks. I hesitate. What will he do? Would he lie to me? Yes. Can I trust him? I'm not sure. 'Well…' I start but I stop again. 'Go on ask me.' He encourages me. 'Okay, it's my brother.' His face changes, the unreadable expression I saw before. I know he knows something. 'What's with your brother?' he asks, but I can see he already knows the answer. 'He's missing.' I say, I study his reaction carefully. 'I know.' He then tells me, I'm surprised. I wasn't expecting that. 'How?' I need to know, my brother may be an idiot, but I still love him. 'Cray has him.' Those three words were the ones I feared the most. He takes a step towards me, I must have gotten very pale because he asks me: 'Kim are you okay?' he looks at me concerned. 'He's okay, Kim, just tied up. Me and Jas caught him snooping in camp.' At those words my eyes snap up at his. 'You caught him? You?' I feel anger boiling in my veins. 'You delivered my brother to that maniac!' I scream at him. He flinches. 'Jason was with me what was I supposed to do?' he asks me, deep inside I know it's not his fault. But I need to blame someone, and Jack is closest. 'What was I supposed to do! I don't know, let him go. Make him run, but no you had to deliver him to your stupid boss. I can't believe I thought you were different!' I yell as I hit the hand away he had on my lower back, to make sure I wouldn't fall over. He wants to say something but I don't give him the chance, I do something I regret immediately after I do it.
Jack's POV.
I see the burning anger in her eyes and I know I'm in trouble. I knew I shouldn't have said that, I regretted the words as soon as they come out of my mouth. But sadly I can't take them back. She yells at me and I flinch. I'm about to try and explain again why I had no choice. When I freeze. 'Guards!' she yells at the top of her lungs. My expression changes as I see two guards come around the corner. I can't believe her. They look at her and then at me. 'Get him.' One of the two yells. I throw one last look at Kim, I think it's disappointment, maybe a bit of anger. Then I turn on my heels and run. When I turn the first corner I find I throw of my cloak I shoot out of the alley, it leads to the main road. My eyes meet Jason's blues. 'Run.' Is all I have to mouth and he's gone, disappeared in the crowed. I do the same, sliding between people, I see the guards come out of the alley, they look around searching for me. I slip between a man and a cart full of straw. It's going to the farmers. And it's my way out.
I keep hiding behind the cart every time I see soldiers. I meet up with Jason at a crossroad. It's protocol. If you get chased, split up, and meet up here. 'Jack. What happened?' he asks. He has no clue who the hooded girl was. 'That was a servant girl from the castle I know, I pissed her of once and now she called the guards on me.' I lie smoothly. He grins, 'Crossed her one time to many huh, Pretty Boy.' I roll my eyes. 'But I did find out the King for sure has noticed Frank is gone. He's planning on combing out the woods.' Jason nods, this is not good. We start to jog again as we make our way back to the camp. The first person we see is Chris. He turns around immediately. 'Cray! The boys are back!' he yells and a still tied up Frank looks up. Cray comes out of his tent. He motions for us to come and we follow him into his tent.
'Speak.' He tells us and Jason looks at me. 'I asked this servant girl I know in the castle and she told me that the King is planning on combing out the woods, very soon. And then she called the guards on me.' I add. Cray laughs. 'Very good Pretty Boy. I think we're just going to let him go, we've scared him enough I think, and we need to move. He knows where our camp is. The others should be coming back soon, then we pack up and move. Take care of that you two.' He tells us. We turn around. 'O and make sure Milan and Jerry deliver Frank close enough to the edge of the forest to make the King's men find him.' We nod. I tell Milan and Jerry to tie Frank up to a tree at the edge of the forest and Milan seems very happy with his task. I tell Chris and Eddy what we do when the others come back. We start packing up so we can help the smaller boys later. We move every month, if necessary more often.
Milan and Jerry come back with a group of boys from our camp, we pack up fast as the rest drips in they know what they have to do and soon they're all packed up and we're leaving. I walk in the back with Jason. Eddie and Jerry in the middle and Chris and Milan at front with Cray. Next to me walks the small Liam. He's maybe nine, his hair blonde and bright blue eyes. No one ever expects him of doing anything, he looks to cute. I notice he's tired. I take his bag after half an hour. We move quietly and without leaving traces. I carry two bags, a tent, my knife and my bow and arrows so when Cray's finally satisfied my shoulders, feet and arms hurt. I still manage to smile at Liam as I hand him back him bag. He thanks me and shoots of. I smile, he's a good boy. We quickly set up camp. We also have to do Cray's tent. My right shoulder is killing me but I ignore it. When we finish it's almost dark and we sleep as soon as our heads hit the floor.
Kim's POV.
The look in Jack's eyes as I ratted him out keeps haunting me. The disappointment. I have told some vague story to the guards on how the boy tried to rob me and I screamed. But my actions were all forgotten when some of my brother's men came back with him. He was furious. Apparently a boy they called "Pretty Boy" had caught him and had shot an arrow in his cloak so he couldn't escape and then he and his friend had called Cray. They had let him go after Pretty Boy and Blue Eyes returned from the town. They had moved their camp immediately. My father was furious with him. Going into the forest alone at night. He got a big lecture. A very big lecture. I zoned out. Jack hates me. I know it. He could have been caught, but they lost him on the main street. I knew I was going to apologize, he wasn't going to forgive me but I had to apologize. He had told me the truth and I tried to get him arrested. I was ashamed of myself. I excused myself and went to my room I fell asleep easily.
A/N: Okay that's it. Oeeeh Kimmie tries to get Jack arrested well that's not very nice. Well, anyway. Review please!
