Thread: Goldilocks And The Three 'Bears' - (Quix and Cyanide)

RE Goldilocks And The Three 'Bears' - Quix and Cyanide Papa Bear had a sort of aura that calmed her and she relaxed beside him, the nervous way her fingers played with each other ceased and some tension in her shoulders melted away. Right. It won't come to that-- he'll take one look at your and run away, she giggled softly, holding a hand up only about a foot higher than her own head, but still no where near Ruperts towering height. He is only about this tall. She admits, that giggle sliding into a small smile. Another laugh passed her rosy lips. I didn't want to assume-- but I don't have much. I wouldn't want to take over a part of your home, which was lovely, by the way. Did you build it yourself? They made their way out of the trees and continued to walk toward Slint. Inside her body her belly was twisting with each step, then Rupert's presence would calm her again, until she was forcing the nervous feeling down with a silent reminder that he was still at her side, the boys following them in near silence. Jacob paced in the den of the main house, his scrawny face screwed up into a scowl. Three farm-hands stood to the side of the room, watching him repeat the same track he had been following for the last four hours. They were all dirty in comparison to Slint, who had never lifted a rake or a pitchfork in his whole life, the most he did on the farm was slaughter the pigs when the time came. With gusto, one might say. Slint spun on his heel to come back around when the door on the far end of the room was thrown open with a resounding thud. Everyone in the room paused, the fire in the huge hearth flickered across their faces as the runner came into the room, he kept his eyes down on the carpets instead of looking up at the farm's owner. S-sir. There's someone coming this way. Looks to be three or four of them. And? He bit off, nearly spitting on the poor boy, who couldn't have been more than eleven. He stumbled back and the farmhand on the side closest to him looked like he was going to help the boy, but Slint shot him a glare that could have melted iron. The boy stumbled over his words but forced them out quickly enough I-I think I s-saw Gol-Goldielocks. Her hair, I mean. I s-saw it from ac-across the field. Slint was on him in a moment though, bony fingers weaving into the boys tunic and lifting him to his toes. You saw her and you didn't bring her back?! He screamed in the boy's face, which was pale and sweating now. Th-they were coming this way! He squeaked. Jacob dropped him and stalked to the door. Out! All of you! I need to teach that stupid girl some god damn respect. His words were nearly a growl as the workers all shuffled out. Goldie slowed some, squinting towards the main house as she saw light spill across the walk way. Doors open, She said softly to Rupert, fingers finding his wrist-- more for her own comfort than his. She squinted again and a small smile touched her lips. Those are some of the farm boys, Sam, Greg, John and little Tommy. There was a small slope in front of them, that led down toward the main house, which was nestled between a few smaller buildings. The barns and silos were further into the field behind them. She pointed towards the biggest building, the one the boys were fleeing from. That's where he'll be. He lives in the main house-- so did I, but I often moved to the other houses so he wouldn't find me... she left 'in the night' unsaid. They grew every closer as the boys grew further. Goldie could feel her heart against her ribs as they passed the first window. Candle light flickered against the pane and she could just see Jacob's form in the furthest corner, sitting in his usual chair. She swallowed down hard and led them to the door. Goldie paused for one last deep breath before she pushed the door open. Now where the hell have you been, you ungrateful little bitch. I believe I had asked something of you this morning, and when I came to collect, you were gone. How exactly do you plan on explaining yourself... and who are your friends?
