love just gets complicated

chapter 2

Madeline frost. that was her name. she wondered how long it will be till people start to realise she was missing. she couldnt stand these people. just the smell of them made her gag.

one of the men approached her. she stumbled back. she didn't want those filthy hands touching her.

" listen here girlie. we want you to do what we ask ya. otherwise you family gets it. we will kill the whole lot of 'em. you understand "

his fingers locked into her hair while his other hand felt his way down her body.

she jerked away from him. how dare he touch her in such a way. oh how she wanted her daddy and mother. and Abigail. her sweet Abigail. fury began to bubble up inside of her at the thought of what they were doing to her sweet little sister.

he pulled her back fiercely, her hip connecting with his. she yelped in pain. he just grinned enjoying her discomfort.
oh dear god, please let me live. let me be strong to do whatever they want me to so I can have my family back.

she looked up at the sky, tears threatening to overcome her.

"we want you to be our little spy. we want to catch two outlaws and we know they won't find it mysterious to come across you. if you don't do what we want you do your family we die and you will become our slave. you will never see the sun again " he growled in her ear, making her flinch at his touch. he tugged at her hair, his nails grazing the top of her head. " you understand"

she nodded. she would do whatever these men wanted her to do. so long as she got to see her beloved family again. she will endure it.

" I just realised heyes . the place we are going we probably will have to go through devils hole" kid curry said has he rode with his partner towards the slowly setting sun.

"Ohh, I never thought of that. Hopefully it will be alight" heyes replied staring off into the distance where he could just make out the start of where devils hole is.

" it will be dark soon anyway so we won't reach devils hole till tomorrow morning" kid said to his partner. When he heard no response he turned round. Heyes was staring of into the distance again.

"Heyes!"

The sound of his name roused him out of his thoughts.

"Huh? What?"

" I said it will be dark soon so we won't reach devils hole till tomorrow morning. " kid repeated sounding slightly annoyed. " what's bugging ya?"

He knew from experience that whenever heyes kept staring off into the distance something was bothering him. He was determined to get his partner to open up.

" nothings bothering me" heyes looked down at his reins suddenly interested at the way they were wrapped round his wrists.

"What a pile of crap, Heyes. You've got that glint in your eye. I know that glint it means your worried about something. Come on tell me"

"Its starting to get darker. I think its best to stop" heyes dismounted and rummaged through his saddle bags.

Kid abandoned his attempt to get his partner to open up and went to look for wood to make a fire.

She was once again on the back of a horse. Her smelly companion behind her. She didn't know how long they had traveled or what time it was. She kept the distance between her and the man as far as possible. She didn't like his touch. It wasn't gentle , unlike her father who held her with care. Oh how she wanted to see her fathers smile again. Oh God , please if I don't make it tell my father I'm sorry and watch over them.
