Robin collapsed to her knees
looking over the land she called hers. She started to cry her face in her
hands. She couldn’t hold back all the work she and her new friends had done
trashed, destroyed, and downright gone. Even her tools, her father’s tools, were
broken. Robin stayed unable to move turning her head when she heard footsteps
approach her. Kurt walked up next to her
looking at her land before looking to her squatting down.
“Are you alright?” Kurt spoke he
didn’t know why she was crying or what she did the day before.
“My yard.” She cried out. “It’s
trashed”
“You told Woody to leave it so we
did.” Kurt looked to her confused.
“No, Nina, Ann, and Basil helped
me clean it yesterday and we even got the land tilled too. Now it is
gone.” Robin cried in to her hands once
more. “Everything is ruined”
“Oh” Kurt gave a warm smile and
reached his hand out to her shoulder “If you want I can…”
“Don’t you touch her,” Ellen ran
over with Blue. “Get out of here now! You’re the one who probably did this.”
“Leave now Kurt” Blue spoke with
a very deep and angry voice his hand tightening on his rake
“I did not…”Kurt stood and put
his hands up in a defensive motion “I just saw her…”
“GO!” Blue spoke louder and
stepped forward making Kurt back away.
Kurt gave Blue a dirty look and
hopped the fence walking away shoving his hands in to his pockets. Blue scowled
a bit before turning his head looking back to Ellen and Robin before turning
his head to the land that was trashed. With a sigh he walked over to the far
corner and started to rake the land.
Robin looked up and dried her tears before getting up slowly. She was
devastated her hopes and goals were crushed before she could even start.
“Come Robin. Let’s fix your
land,” Ellen smiled as she took Robin’s hands pulling her in to the yard. “I am
sure if you fix it I am sure the one who did this will see you’re not going to
let them get in your way.”
“Ok” Robin smiled weakly before
lifting looking to her yard. “I need to fix the lumber box first”
With a smile Ellen walked to the
lumber box with Robin and they started to put it back together and replace the
broken boards. Blue raked the trash in the yard in to four large piles before he started to toss it in to the
garbage can. Once the lumber box was done Ellen and Robin picked up the chopped
wood and put it back in the box.
Around mid day the yard was
cleaned once more and ready to be tilled. Robin smiled lifted the head to her
father’s old hoe. Taking a deep breath
she and Ellen stared to till the land close to her house. Once done they
planted the seeds and Blue Fallowed with a watering can. It didn’t take long
and they were done. Robin smiled to them and offered them lunch.
She didn’t have much food or much
money because she only just started out here but she still made sandwiches and
lemonade for them. They ate together and talked a bit about what happened and
what they could do to fix the problem.
“It seems like the Kurt’s
handiwork is showing back up.” Blue spoke sourly. “He didn’t hurt you did he?”
“I don’t think it was Kurt. He
seemed a little unpleased about it too.” Robin’s voice was soft and sounded
really hurt. “He didn’t hurt me, don’t worry.”
“Good. Now we just have to find a
way to keep this from happening again, any ideas?” Ellen Chimed in trying to
change the subject and do more looking to the future rather than the past.
“We can make the fence taller?”
Robin offered.
“No, taller fence just means no
one will see them next time.” Blue thought a moment longer before looking to
the puppy in the room. “We can train him to protect the yard.”
“We could but he is just a puppy
it would take a long time and that is time we don’t have.”
“I will pull a vampire shift
them. I will stay up all night and part of the day. Care for the plants as the
sun comes up then go to bed. No one will try anything during the day light
hours when everyone can see.” Robin
smiled and nodded.
“That’s not healthy Robin. I will
talk to Hank. We can have our dog watch your yard too at night.” Blue spoke up
finishing his sandwich and lemonade. “Well you should rest for the remainder of
the day. Ellen We need to go home and get our own work caught up. I am sure Bob
did most of it himself.”
Blue and Ellen both got up and
said their goodbyes and headed out of the door. They crossed the stone path and
got back to their home and went to the back to start their own work once more.
Robin smiled as she watched them walk away and get back to their own work. She
would have helped if she knew how to care for animals better.
She sat on her stoop and watched
as people walked by and went about their daily business. After a short while of
her relaxing Jamie was walking down the path and stopped looking to her. He
walked to the fence and gave a smirk to her. Robin smiled and got up walking
over to him.
“Good afternoon.” Jamie nodded
his head to her before fixing his hat on his head. “How are you this sunny
summer day?”
“I am good, Thank you.” Robin
smiled to him before looking down the street as Joe walked by with Katie
clinging to his arm.
“Are you going to go to the Beach
festival?” Jamie turned his head looking down to Joe and Katie his eyes
narrowing a bit at them. He turned his back to Robin then leaned against the
fence.
“Beach Festival, What happens
there?” Robin looked to him very confused.
“It’s a swimming contest for
those who wish to join. “ Jamie smirked.
“Are you going to join?” Robin
smiled up to him. “I think I might, I always liked swimming. I would go
swimming at the beach all the time back at my old home.”
“I am joining in. I know a few of
the guys in town are. Ann and Gwen might.” Jamie closed his eyes thinking of
who joined the year before as he predicted who was going to join this year.
“I cannot wait. Well you have a
good day Jamie. It’s starting to get late. I think I am going to wash and turn
in early tonight. I am tired from all the work I had to do to my yard today.”
“You did all your work today?”
Jamie looked to her surprised.
“Well, no. I did it all yesterday
with Basil, Nina, and Ann. Last night someone destroyed my yard. Thanks to Blue
and Ellen I was able to get it done today and even get my seeds planted.” Robin
sighed in relief. “I am going to have to get them both something nice for
helping me out.”
“Yea you should.” Jamie stood up
and stretched. “Well I hope it doesn’t happen again.”
Robin nodded and stood up
straight and dusted herself off. She waved to Jamie as he walked off heading
back home. His hands were in his pockets and his head was facing the ground
while he was in thought. Robin only shook her head and went in to her house. She
started to do the dishes and clean the house up again. She then took a long hot
bath to rest her now aching muscles.
After her long bath Robin walked
out and started to get ready for bed. It was still early so she figured she
would watch television for a while before bed. Once comfortable in her bed she
turned the television on and found a good show to watch, The Adventure of the
Color Squad Z. She watched for a short while before turning the television off
and rolling to lie on her side to sleep. She didn’t get near sleep when she
heard a loud thud from outside making her jump up.
A figure was outside walking
quietly around her house they stopped and looked around quietly in the dark
till they found their treasure. They lifted the head of Robin’s broken ax. They
collected the other two heads and the handles that were snapped from them. They
started to walk away when one of the handles fell from their arms and landed on
the top of the trash can. Stopping and looking back they saw the light in the
house turn on.
Moving back slowly staying out of
the light they saw Robin moving around in her house. Within seconds the door
flew open and Robin was looking around and stepped out. The person bolted as
fast as they could, leaving the handle behind. Robin saw the person leave and
started to chase stopping when she got to the bridge across the road from her
home. The person got away. She couldn’t tell who it was or what they were
doing. She rushed back to her house and saw that her yard was fine nothing was
touched. With a shrug Robin when back to bed.
The next day went by without any
problems and no one trespassed in Robin’s yard. Robin did tell Ellen and Blue
what happened and they all looked around the yard during the day to see if
anything was moved around. They found nothing was harmed but the broken tools
of Robin’s dad were stolen. They couldn’t do anything without knowing where the
person was going or who it was, though Blue and Ellen did voice their opinion
of Kurt again.
The fallowing day Robin got up
and quickly washed putting her bathing suit on before she walked out to the
cool morning air. As quick as he could she ran around and watered her plants
then ran off to get to the beach for the festival. When she arrived she saw
everyone standing around the beach but not actually on the beach.
“What’s going on?” Robin spoke
up.
“Oh Hey” Gwen Called out brightly
“They are still setting up so they kicked us off the beach.”
“When will they let us in?” Robin
looked to a few others seeing who was there to participate or watch.
“Soon I hope.” Gwen swayed side
to side. “I never like waiting to much. It gets kind of boring.
Within a matter of minutes the
mayor walked over and waved everyone on to the beach. Everyone cheered and
rushed on to the beach and laughed enjoying the first hot day of the new
summer. Those who wanted to participate in the swimming contest were putting
their names in a large box before heading off and changing in to their bathing
suits.
Robin came out wearing a simple
blue one piece. Gwen smiled as she came out wearing a white and red stripped
two piece. The boys had swim trunks on of various colors and patterns. Everyone
was ready for the day to start and they were all ready to get in to the water
and start the contest.
The mayor took the box and started
to pull out the names of those in the contest. They mayor called out those
wanting to swim and then those who wanted to ref the game. Robin, Ray, Joe, and
Blue were in the first match. Jamie, Dan, Gwen, and Ann swam the second, Luis,
Alex, Katie, and Basil made the third and the last group was Ellen, Carl, Nina,
and Kurt.
The matches took a while to do
because of the waves pushing and pulling them around and the distance they had
to swim. The way to win was to grab a ribbon from four colored balls in the
water and make it to shore first. Bob and Eve took the job of refereeing the
match to make sure no one cheats. The ones that won the match were going to a
final round to compete.
The first round Robin won,
followed by Jamie in the second, Alex in the third and Kurt won the final.
Robin smiled cheer for all who swam when she didn’t. Gina ran over and hugged
Alex when he won. No one cheered when much when Kurt won his round but everyone
did when Jamie won his. They were still showing their distaste for him.
The final round was ready to
start and every one stood on the beach to take their spots. When the mayor blew
his whistle they all ran in to the water. Everyone was cheering especially the
girls for Robin as she was the only girl in the final. Robin swam as fast as
she could as did the others.
She swam as quickly as she could
to the last ball in the water to get her last ribbon when she felt something
grab her leg. She kicked before she was pulled under the water quickly. She looked
back and saw her leg was wrapped in sea grass. She tried to pull at the grass
to break free but she wasn’t able to. She looked up and saw someone swim over
her she reached up and grabbed their foot making them stop.
“HEY HELP!” Kurt cried out loudly
waving his hands making people turn to look at him before he dove under the
water.
Kurt dove under the water
grabbing Robin's arm pulling him-self down, before grabbing her leg and then
the sea grass. He pulled and tugged before he saw that it was tied down by a
rather large rock and looped like a lasso around her ankle. He looked up to
Robin who was losing her air. He quickly bit swam back up and pressed his lips
to her pushing the air from his lungs to her before he moved back down and bit
down on the grass ripping it apart. He quickly swam back up pulling her with
him coming back up they were greeted by Joe, and Bob with a life saver.
“Are you ok?” Joe looked to Kurt
pulling him and Robin on the life saver with Bob.
“Yea” Kurt spoke softly before coughing
as he was catching his breath. “Robin?”
“I’ll live.” Robin coughed out
and looked to her hand that still held the ribbons in her hand. “Looks like I don’t
win.”
“Hmm?,” Kurt looked to her hand
before reaching to his pocket of his swim trunks and pulls his out and hands her
the color she didn’t have and smiled to her, “here.”
They were pulled up on to shore
and sat in the water calmly to catch their breath still. Everyone ran over and
surrounded them making sure everyone was ok. Kurt got up and walked through the
crowd and grabbed his towel and shoes leaving the beach. The others said nothing
until Robin smiled holding up the ribbons in her hand and started to laugh
along with everyone else.
“Well looks like we got a winner.”
The Mayor laughed out. “Never had a finish likes that before but it does change
things up a bit. Here is your prize Robin, it is what we give every year.” He
handed Robin a small envelope before walking away.
Everyone left at their own time
and soon the only ones left was Jamie, Robin, Eva, Dan, Maria and Ray. They as
sat enjoying the sun setting in the distance over the ocean. Eva cuddled in to
Dan to fight up the cool ocean breeze. Maria sat next to Ray holding his hand
in hers. Jamie stood looking out before he walked over to Robin who was sitting
by herself. He thought a moment before sitting down next to her.
“How are you feeling?” Jamie
spoke softly.
“Better, thank you.” Robin spoke
before pulling her knees up close to her chest. “I should be heading home.”
“I will walk you home.” Jamie got
up before putting hand out pulling her up to her feet.
They couple walked off the beach
and down the rocky dirt path. The walk was not long but it was quiet dark in
the area with the sun down and the thick trees over head. Jamie smiled and put
his arm around her pulling her close walking till they reached her house. Robin
looked to her house and smiled to him as he let her go so she could go in to
her house.
“Thank you and good night.” Robin
spoke to him before she disappeared behind her door.
“Any time” Jamie smiled as he
walked away from her house heading home “Any time at all.”
Robin washed herself before
looking to her clothes that day pulling the envelope out of the pocket of her
pants. She hummed and walked to her bed sitting down before opening the envelope.
She glanced at the contents of the envelope and went wide eyed. She pulled out
a slip for a week of dinners at the bar. She smiled never thought she would be
that lucky. She put the prize aside and laid down on her bed relaxing after the
day she had. She slowly drifted off to sleep. Her slumber was full of dreams of
things she couldn’t help but enjoy.
*Dream*
She was under the water again
struggling to breathe without air. She was panicking until she saw a dark
figure come down from above. She looked up and saw the warm brown eyes of Kurt
and his hair danced around the water. She watched him come close to her before
she felt his lips press against hers. They were so soft just like she
remembered when he did that day.
He pulled back slowly and smiled
before taking her lips again in to his. When he pulled away again instead of
warm brown eye she saw cold blue ones of Jamie. He smiled and ran a hand over
her side stopping at her hip. He pulled her close and held her in a warm safe
embrace. She only blinked and Jamie became Kurt once more.
“I will always be there” Kurt’s
voice whispered in her head. “I will… “
*Reality*
Robin woke quickly to her dogs
barking she looked around it was still dark in her room as the night wasn’t over
but she turned her light on by her bed and looked around again. No one was
there. She grabbed her robe and quickly ran to her back door looking outside
and nothing was there either. She went to her front door and looked around
before looking down seeing a small box on her front step. It was a green box
with a black lace and no tag.
She picked the box up and brought
it in to the house placing it on her table.
Stepping away she hummed softly reaching to open it before stopping. If
it was from the same person who was attacking her farm she didn’t want to open it.
She quickly picked it up and put it in a closet. She would call Ellen over and
they could open it together. She made sure her door was locked tightly before
she went back to bed.
The morning came quickly after
that and Robin was up and out in her back yard pulling weed and cleaning her
yard up from the little devils of plants. She watered her plant and hummed as
they were all doing well and no harm had come to them. Maybe the person who was
trying to chase her off or hurt her was leaving her be. Then she remembered the
small gift and she made a mad dash across the road to get Ellen.
“Ellen! Are you home?” Robin
called out as she ran in to the back were the field was at Blue Farm.
“No she is out doing errands” Bob
called out to her. “What you need? Maybe I can help.”
“Um last night someone left a
package on my door step. I didn’t want to open it alone. I wanted to open it
with her or someone just in case you know?” Robin spoke to him.
“Oh so if it’s a bomb you can
take another with you?” Bob laughed a bit only teasing her. “Bring it over I am
sure Blue and I can handle anything in a box.”
“Thanks Bob you’re a real gem.
Gwen is lucky to have you has her boy friend.” Robin smiled as she ran back out
to her house to get the box quickly.
When Robin ran back over Gwen had
shown up and Ellen had returned. She smiled and ran over to them and explained
what happened. They all agreed to go to the lake and open it there so it was
more private. The walk was not far just across the stream pass the Wood Cutter’s
house. They laughed and all took a spot by the lake putting the box in the
middle of them.
“Ok let’s open it slowly. If you
hear a click run, ok?” Gwen laughed as she teased the other two.
“That’s not funny Gwen. Well go
ahead Robin open it up maybe it’s a present from a secret admirer. I just hope
it’s not someone who already had a girlfriend.” Ellen sounded sad.
“Don’t think like that Ellen.
Besides I don’t think Bob would leave Gwen she would beat him to a blood pulp.”
Robin laughed. “And I think Carl would break down crying if he tried to break
up with you Ellen.”
“Damn right I would beat him”
Gwen punched her fist in to her palm. “He wouldn’t dare leave me, and if he did
well I would then have to beat the girl who took him from me so I could get him
back.” Gwen nodded quickly.
“Carl is a sweetie I would die if
he broke up with me.” Ellen took a deep breath before looking back to Robin. “Ok
open it.”
Robin nodded and pulled the black
Lace that was tied around the box. Once the lace was off she put her hands on
either side of the green lid of the box and took a deep breath. They all held
their breath before she pulled the lid off quickly and looked away waiting for
something to go boom or do something bad. When nothing happened they all looked
in to the box.
In the box was a small card. They
looked to each other than to the card. Robin pulled it out and saw a small hair
comb in the box. She smiled and pulled it out before looking it over. She as surprised it was beautiful hand carved and hand painted.
Robin smiled and read over the card that was in the box over it out loud.
“A token of heart, for a beauty,”
Robin smiled and looked to the other girls. “Summer 24, by the lake, I will
wait for you, 6 pm picnic dinner. How sweet I think I will go.
“Not without Bob and I to watch from a distance make sure it no is trying to hurt
you.” Gwen shook her head she was not going to let Robin going without an
escort or military guard.
“Ok Gwen but if it is no one that
will hurt you then you have to leave. I think it’s cute that I got s gift like
this.” Robin spoke admiring he gift. “First time a guy or girl showed intrest.
The girls laughed and started to
think about who it could be. Little did they know, someone watched from the
distance and safety of the trees. He watched having heard they talk smiling
that Robin agreed to come even if it was with a few undesirable others. It had
only been a quarter of a year since they met but he felt drawn to her and he didn’t
know why. Maybe this one night with her could solve all his questions.
Questions he could not answer alone.
