Prisoner of Love

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (April 15th 1861. 2:34 am)

I slithered out of my room, like a sneaky slithery snake. I was sneaking out to meet Paul and I felt so alive. I felt like Poseidon stabbing somebody with his trident, so much adrenaline rushing through my veins. I made it out the door, making almost no noise. Although Abraham's snoring was vigorous snoring was enough to cover my stealth. I barrel rolled through our front yard and dashed into the woods.

I immediately saw Paul with Harry and Louis standing behind him, facing the opposite direction. I looked at them quizzically. "They're here for cover, my father and his most trusted companions got word of our fling and have been on their guard ever since." Paul said as if reading my mind.

"Fling? Paul, c'mon now, we've held hands like five times. It's time to make this a relationship." I hoped my blunt offer wouldn't be too much for him to handle.

He smiled, his face turning more red than a baboon's butt. "Will you, Sharkeisha Lincoln, be my girlfriend?"

Four puffs of air escaped from the thunder from down under. "I would absolutely love to."

Louis and Harry performed hushed mating calls in agreeing with our newly stated relationship.We heard a branch snap and footsteps making their way toward us. "Not now," I thought to myself. "Not in this perfect moment."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer until I saw Siva's bestie for life. It was Tom. "Well hello there, hooligans." Tom retorted, smirking.

"Tom, get your ugly face out of here." I spat.

"I would have been here earlier but I just dropped some dumpage, and one was this long." Tom said, holding out his fingers indicating that his poop was about a foot long.

"That's incredible." Paul said in genuine awe.

Louis started foaming at the mouth and snarling his teeth at Tom, Harry held his arm out to stop him from attacking. If Louis attacked Tom now we would be caught for sure. "I'm here for Siva's sake" Tom said, "I hope you don't plan on breaking off the engagement because if you do you'll regret it for a year."

"What could you possibly do to me?" I challenged him.

"You don't want to be at fault for everyone's suffering do you? Paul, his five soldier friends, their wifey poos, and 5 seconds of animals?"

My eyes widened. If I go with Paul and break up with Siva, everyone's going to suffer from it. I looked at Paul with sad eyes, sadder than Cole Sprouse when he realized everyone's technically seen him naked too. I knew what I had to do to protect everybody, and it wasn't going to be good.
