Chapter 3 - Pinkie promise
*****Fortune woke the next day grumbling as her brothers attempted to get changed and sorted in their caravan.
"Don't you two ever sleep?!" She snapped harshly as she sat up and looked at them.
"It's like 9am?" Hunter asked her blankly.
"So get your fucking ass up." Hayden snapped harshly.
"I hope you slip and slice your throat with one of those knives." Fortune snapped at her brother as he simply sneered back.
The twins soon left as Fortune quickly changed into a simple vest top and shorts. Uncaring about shoes she shoved her hair into a ponytail before jumping from the caravan.
Taking a deep breath she looked around and saw Daryl stood polishing his bike. His eyes caught hers as he quickly chucked his cloth down and began to walk over to her.
Wanting to avoid any and all talk with him, she quickly took off in the other direction as she saw the trio of Barnes brothers helping with setting up.
Their massive big top had already been put up as she watched everyone she had grown up with, going in and out, carrying this and that as the whole squad were preparing for tomorrow's debut show.
A roar pulled her from her thoughts as she looked over and saw her pack.
Taking the key that permanently hung around her neck, she went straight over and slowly, one by one, released her pack of lions.
They greeted her happily and she spent a few moments giving each one attention, occasionally looking up and watching as the big tent was set up.
"Hello beautiful."
Fortune tried to but her tongue as she slowly stood up and turned to see Daryl by her side as he gently scratched Kobi's head.
"What do you want?" She couldn't help but sigh out.
"Oh come on love, you're not still mad about that are you?" He sighed out himself as he straightened up and faced her.
"Am I not allowed to be?" She scoffed out.
Daryl shook his head. "It was months ago, why can't you move past it?!"
Fortune simply scoffed out at him. "I'll move past it when Kazi here starts talking English." She snapped back as Kazi rubbed against her side.
Just as Daryl was about to snap back another shout was heard.
"Oi! Little lion lady!"
They both turned as they saw Thomas pointing at her.
"Get your little ass over here and give me a hand!" He demanded.
Fortune turned back to Daryl as she shrugged and gently pushed through the lions as she raced over to him.
