Chapter 13 Feelings

"With the new addition in our expenses and with the Resistance ageeing to help us out, we have a decent force." Horace said while polishing his Nihon-Ja sword.

Evanlyn looked at the Senshi's and then at Horace, "Decent?"

He looked up, seeing the golden armor reflected off, laughing "Alright, deadly"

Will took off his gloves, as he walks by them, "Alright, we secured the ships, every Temujai has been locked up"

Horace raised his eyebrows at the notice, "How? Without at least one person slipping out?"

"With Faye's help, we managed to convince them into submission. No bloodshed needed"

"Ah... how is Jack holding up?" with the thought occurring to Horace's mind.

Will turns around and then replied, "He has brightened even more, with the notice of one of his family is alive, it has gave him a lot of energy"

They all looked out on the field, where some Senshi's are training, and some of the rebels joining in.

Horace stood up, then announced "Well, I better go see these Senshi and Rebels, maybe I can sharpen up their old swords abit" with a smirk

Will laughed "You go do that, I need to go talk to Hawkin, figure out what is our next plan"

They both parted in different directions, Evanlyn noticed a figure shifting in and out of the forest. Maddie. She thought.

She soon caught up with her, who was holding a bucket of water. She clearly saw some annoyance from her actions.

Evanlyn decided it might be best if she waited until her daughter noticed her presence...or ever she began to think.

She sat down under a tree close enough that Maddie could easily trip over, she walked from the well to the stables and bins where they kept the water. Started with 1 trip... then 2...soon 5 then 10.

Maddie walked, not caring her hands were beginning to feel sore, but since the long weeks of training and drawing the bow, it was a bare feeling. She had a feeling someone was watching her, she looked at where Jack and Faye were running around. She could hear them laughing. Feeling left out again, the feeling returned and walked away heading towards the well...then she stops. The feeling wasn't gone, someone IS still watching her. Where... then she saw someone under the shades in the trees, she sighs and drops the empty bucket, and walked over there.

Sighing again, "What is it Will?"

She hears a soft laugh, definitely wasn't Will.

"Mum?"

"My Daughter, you've been going past me back and forth at least 10 times, Now you noticed me sitting here?"

"Sorry, just filling the water barrels up" then began to turn away.

"Those barrels are filled up enough, they can probably last us the next 100 years"

Maddie rolls her eyes, "They cannot"

Evanlyn laughs, "Alright, maybe not. But they do seem a bit...overflowing is it not?"

Maddie was going to roll her eyes again when she looked at the barrels, realizing her mother was right.

Seeing that, Evanlyn stopped the horse talk, "Come on over, rest."

Reluctantly, she walked over and sat beside her mother. Looking at the grounds where it was busy with attention. They all camped on the high cliffs, that gave a good look at the town and its movements. Of course, this position was thought by Will...and a bit of help from Maddie and Jack.
