Kill Van Kull were going intothe War Zone first. To give them time to hide me."What did you go for the girl for?" A younger looking guy with purplehai... said to the big guy. "I thought we said we'd pick their bestplayer." We don't know she isn't their best," his dismissive tone suggesting hethought not, "Anyway, I picked her because she's clearly the tall guy'sgirlfriend. He'll be pissed and not thinking right." I'm not his girlfriend, creep. Actually I have..." Sure, whatever. Boyfriend,. Her moves sent waves of excitement through my body. Not to be outdone, I countered each turn and pulse. Noting this, she turned to face me, and wrapped her arms around under my shirt to caress my skin. Enjoying the pace of our banter, a surge of confidence overcame me, and I kissed her then whispered in her ear, "Go grab your stuff and let’s get outta here!!!" She was quite surprised upon hearing my proposition, but she found her composure, and grabbed my hand while leading me through. I was beginning to think I would have to win. Instead, Miki offered to drag Aine back with her when she won.It was not a perfect breakthrough, but Aine was very gracious in accepting and the atmosphere in our home brightened considerably. I still worried about what might happen in the future, but had left her curled up in the bed as I awoke after my second night since being picked up.As I climbed out of bed, I could see Ashley, Miki, Lenore and Constance scattered on the huge mattress that made. The barracks behind which Seth and Jefferson had been resting was quickly converted into a hospital, and doctors and their orderlies seemed to appear out of nowhere with their bags of equipment. Seth shuddered at seeing the saws some of the medical crews carried.The boy wandered about, trying to stay out of the way. He watched ammunition being hauled to the cannons and noticed that the knots of lounging soldiers had disappeared. Suddenly, he heard some cheering behind him, and hurried back.
