"I watched your little adventure here, you seem, let's say, well acquainted" Mary smirks. "Let me just say, special relationships can get in the way of the task at hand" Mary frowned and flipped through some papers. I then act as though I am about to throw up. Will walks over and plants a kiss on my cheek. I immediately punch him in the face, sending him spiralling backwards. "You have a tendency to inflict pain upon the beauty, don't you?" Mary sighs heavily.
"What can I say, he really knows how to get on my nerves" I stare at Will annoyed. Will has a hazy look on his face.
"You obviously need to learn some self control, sweetheart" Will grins and rubs his jaw.
"You could always punch the brawn back, although I imagine she would mess the beauty of the beauty up" Mary sighs and throws more paper in the air.
"Why don't you call us by our names?" Will stared at Mary.
"Because, we don't need formal references, plus if you even speak the brawns name you will probably be arrested for helping a felon" Mary sighs and examines a piece of paper. I can feel myself heating up. She was right, I have many charges upon me, and I haven't paid my dues. Plus, I did break out of jail. Four times. Will may never know the truth.
"Is that true, sweetheart?" Will lifts one eyebrow.
"No, I am a nobody" I sigh and look down as the ground.
"I think your somebody" Will smiles and Mary rolls her eyes and reads another paper.
"What are you doing" I arch my eyebrow.
"I am trying to find a map, but from the clutter you can see that this will be a hard task"' Mary scratches her head.
"Can't you just look into the future and find it?" Will arches his head.
"I am scared to look into the future, every time I do so, I lose a little bit of my sanity" Mary sighs and tears up a piece of paper.
"Why does everyone have a cost but me" Will sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.
"Your power is the cost itself" Mary rubs the lenses of her glasses.
"English please?" Will sighs.
"You will never find someone who truly likes you, for you. Everyone will just be under your spell" Mary opens a book and rips a page out.
"Thanks, that's nice, I'm glad nobody will ever love me" Will storms off angrily, slamming the door to Mary's room.
"Try to be a little more sensitive" I frown, open the door and chase after Will. He was nowhere in sight, I sit down at the bar and order some rum. I sit by myself, savoring the burning feeling the alcohol leaves down my throat. A few hours later I have had a little too many drinks.
"Aren't you a little young to be drinking" Someone says behind me.
"Screw off" I giggle hazily and hiccup. I feel someone put there arm around me, I slowly turn my head and look at who it is. It's Will.
"Oh, hey, man" I hiccup and giggle lightly.
"Wow, you are really shit-faced" Will laughs.
"Yep, and I am enjoying it" I lift my cup in the air and hiccup. "Give me another one, my good sir" I smile at the bartender.
"Don't, she doesn't want another one" Will waves the bartender off.
"I do want another one" I giggle.
"Come on, could I have two rooms please" Will obviously looks at my breast and chuckles. Will pets me off the bar chair and up the stairs, where I nearly fall down the stairs. He unlocks one of the rooms and helps me into bed. He begins walking out.
"Wait, I don't want to be alone" I hiccup and reach my hand out.
"That's weird considering you said you only worked alone a day or two ago" Will runs his fingers through his hair.
"Just-j-just come here" I stuttered and then hiccuped. Will sighs and stands next to my bed. I grab his arm and pull him on to the bed. He sighs and lays next to me. I wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his chest. Will has a confused look on his face. I cuddle with Will, I sit up and press my lips to his, his lips were sweet, I edventually dozed off. When I woke up, I was blushing like crazy, I had my head laying on Will's bare chest, embracing him. I grab my stuff and as I am walking out the door I am interrupted by a voice.
"So, that's how you feel" Will sighs. I do love Will, but I am just to prideful to admit it.
"We have a job to do, special relationships will get in the way" I frown and blink back some tears.
"You sound like Mary" Will frowns and buttons his shirt back up. Mary bursts through the door, her hair wild and crazy. She stares at Will.
"Did you...guys?" Mary lifts and eyebrow.
"What? No!" I shout embarrassed.
"I wish, apparently I am not good enough" Will emptys his pocket and swears under his breathe.
"I found the paper, I didn't get any sleep, at all" Mary lifts her glasses and fixes her hair.
"Lets go" I frown and walk past Mary.

AksiI suddenly wake up from the nightmare. I rub the haziness out of my eyes and grab the bottle of whiskey sitting next to my bed. I take a big swig and stand up. My room is dusty and as rundown as you get. It's 1881, I am 16, a drunk and couldn't stay...
