Wild Desperation

Chapter 15

I had the little birds name now at least, that's if it even was her real name but somehow I just had the feeling it was. I watched her untie the large black stallion from our vehicle before dragging the tarp from his back and letting go of his rope as she patted him on the neck. "If you'd like Ms. Sang we could tie him to a tree for you." I offered, surprised when she scoffed at that. "And let him be vulnerable to an attack from any beasts in the area, no thank you. I have him trained well enough that he comes when I call him." She stated as the horse trotted over to some nearby grass and started eating. I could see this bird had caught all of us off guard, and if we weren't careful I knew she could do a lot of damage to our team, in more ways than one.

I couldn't believe that the cute little Pookie of a kid that doctored up our wounds was a little bird, and a very pretty one at that. I was also very much pleased that when I stumbled a step getting to my feet her hand shot out to steady me. "Easy there, you're still feeling the sedatives a bit and when those wear off you'll be feeling it in that ankle of yours." She stated, for once I was glad to be the one needing the doctoring. "Thank you very much Pookie." I winked as she pulled her hand away and tilted her head in question. "And here I thought you were just making up silly names because of the sedatives, why Pookie anyway?" She puzzled out, I could feel the others watching us and couldn't help my smirk at the stupid jealous fools.

 "It just seems to suit you." I grinned and was rewarded with a small feminine snicker in response. "You are one weird bunch of boys, you know that." she stated rather than asked. "No weirder than a girl traveling on her own dressed as a boy and saving strangers from wild pigs." I hummed as she sent me another look. "Touche." she raised back before going to pick up her bag and bow from the ground, she had dropped them in her tussle with North and boy was the look on his face hilarious, having her around might just make things a bit more interesting.

I watched as Sang smiled back at Sean and couldn't help but wish I was the one in his position. She seemed less wary of him and Luke, so much so that she handed Luke his gun back. I watched her study him silently for a moment before nodding with another small smile as he put the weapon away, he seemed to be unable to meet her eyes for the time being and I knew for a fact I saw him blush. "Hey glasses you want to help me with this tarp, this little piggy is a heavy one." she stated as her eyes fixed on me and I tried and failed to fight my own flushing face as I moved with Nate to help her with the meat.

I grabbed part of the tarp closest to Sang it was shocking how the little toothpick kid turned out to be a pretty and feisty little bird. I was surprised to see that she pulled her own weight with dragging the easily 300 pounds of meat and bone back to our little camp. I watched silently as she unwrapped the tarp to expose the butchered boar inside, everything was already portioned off making me realize this wasn't her first kill. I noticed something amongst the meat that looked very familiar and couldn't help but blanch a little.
