Jacks pov
Jessie and I rode in silence. I couldn't help but stare at her, she was really pretty .
I hear a noise down by the dam. I look at Jessie.
"Shh come on" I whisper
She nods , we dismount our horses . We hide behind a tree watching , I can see Mary . She's cant be with him not him. But last of all I see Mick, Mick Scandlon.
I can't hear what they say. Slowly I see Mick lean in towards Mary, my Mary the Mary laying Down on the blanket .
My breath gets caught in my throat . Their lips touch .
After watching for about a minute , Mick pulls Mary into his lap. They start more passionately now. I can't watch .
"Come on "says Jessie
I quickly mount Lighting , and canter off towards town .
30 mins later
We hide behind the Butchers .
"Ill be back I'm going to find out information from my trap "says Jessie
" uh I don't take kindly to orders " I say
I see some traps come round the corner. I pull Jessie up against the wall and kiss her. She doesn't object instead she puts her arms around my neck. I grab her waist and pull her closer. I pull back . The trappers aren't there.
"Can I go now" Jessie asks
"Yeah you can go now" I say
After a couple minutes I see Jessie return.
I hear a cart come past and halt.
It's Mary
Anger flashes through me .
"Hello " she says
"Hi, how are you " I say
" good you better be along , Sargent Scandlon will be here in a minute " she says
" oh Sargent Scandlon how do you know that?" I say
" oh I was ju- he just will I saw him" she says
" gonna introduce us " she says
" oh yeah , this is Mary she runs the pub ". I say
Jessie nods her head.
"Jessie Mary .Mary Jessie . " I say
" um we have to go " Jessie says
" oh alright cya around" Mary says
Jessie grabs my arm and we walk off.
"Can we trust her "she says
"Yeah we can trust her" I say
We ride into the forest at a fast canter.
"I have to go back in tonight " Jessie says
" why?" I ask
" my trapper has more info tonight then right now"
" ill come with you"
"No you won't"
"Why not" I demand angrily
" because Jack it's to dangerous for you to come with me"
"Then I shouldn't let you go , why don't you go in the morning ?"
" it's too dangerous then besides I like a midnight ride"
Mary's pov
As I trotted back into town , everything was at peace.
