Robin woke and readied her self like she would every other
day. She ate breakfast walked out to the back yard with Shadow she checked her
crops and watered them before collecting what she could. She hummed before
walking back in to her house to check the bag the seed came in to make sure she
was not doing something wrong.
�This is odd Shadow. Maybe I am bring
a little too impatient.� She smiled and petted Shadow�s head. �Lets go for a walk around town maybe some fresh air will
clear my head. Besides we have to get ready for the bamboo festival. Will you
be my date?�
Robin smiled as her dog barked and yipped happily. She only
smiled and tied a short rope to his collar for a leash and they headed out for
a long walk and to stop by a few places. She first headed south to the wood
cutters house to ask a few quick questions about lumber and other silly simple
things.
�Good morning. You open yet?� She entered the main door and
saw Joe and Woody working away on plans and such.
�Oh good morning child, come on in. We are open.� Woody
looked down and saw the puppy at her feet and smiled. �Please leave him outside
we don�t want any accidents.�
�Ok.� She quickly tied the rope to the railing and patted
Shadow and walked back in. �I just had a few stupid little questions to ask.�
�Sure we can help with anything we can.� Joe smiled and sat
up on a saw horse.
�Well I was looking to barrow and ax so I can start cutting
wood for the winter.� She blushed a bit and smiled again.
�Ah ok. We don�t have any extra but I believe Louis has a
few axes for sale in his shop. If you need to expand your house you can ask us
or if you need fernature.� Joe smiled his legs
swaying under him.
�If you�re looking to buy more land talk to the Mayor and
then come back to use and we can help you with that too.� Woody smiled to her
as he stood up. �Anything else my dear?�
�No thank you.� Robin walked out side and looked to Shadow
who was sitting comfortably in the lap of Kurt who just got back. �Oh hello�
You like dogs?
�They are okay.� Kurt lifted Shadow and put him down. �I
have to get to work now.� He walked around her then back in to the house.
Robin looked rather confused at him before she took the rope
of Shadows leash and walked across the Road to Spring Farm. She walked in after
tying Shadow up outside. She waved to Nina and her mom before she walked over
to the counter.
�Hey Nina, how are you?� Robin smiled.
�Well but out crops are not fairing very well right now. We
don�t know why but they do not seem to be growing very well.� Nina pouted. �We even
called Basil and he doesn�t know.�
�You too? Wow mine seem to be
having the same problem. They just don�t seem to want to grow.� Robin hummed
before thinking.
�You know it could be him again acting out but he never
attacked use before.� Nina hummed and pouted again.
�Are there any festivals coming up that involve our crops or
something?� Robin questioned out of curiosity.
�That is at the end of next season so attacking now would
not be helpful in winning.� Nina sighed softly.
�Unless they don�t want you to have any chances of winning,
but then you couldn�t say it is anyone but another farmer.�
�Robin you should head home soon there looks like a storm is
coming.� Liz smiled. �It looks like it might be bad.�
�Thank you Liz I will head out now.� Robin started to the
door when Nina ran over handing her a tarp. �What is this for?�
�Cover your crops just bang a couple of posts in to the
ground throw it over then stake the tarp down. Should help
keep them from flying away.� Nina smiles to Robin before seeing her out
as she and her mom were getting ready to start on their field.�
�Thanks Nina. Come Shadow we better hurry up� Robin lifted
Shadow and started to run back to her house quickly.
When they got to the house she quickly put Shadow down in
the yard before she set to work covering her plants to keep them safe. She
wasn�t so sure how well it would work but if it helped at all she wouldn�t
object. When she finished she let out a heavy sigh of relief and felt the first
drops of rain start to land.
�Inside Shadow quickly� she smiles and quickly rushes the
pup inside she wasn�t sure how hard this storm would bit but she didn�t want to
be outside. �Well looks like we are locked up for a while.�
Robin got comfortable on her recliner with Shadow in her lap
as she watched the Television. It was going to be a long night with out
anything to do. The rain picked up and the wind started to really blow around
outside. Even lightening cracked in the valley and all the lights in town went
out.
�Ahhh, I hate the dark. �Robin sighed
softly and got up slowly looking for a oil lamp or
flash light. She moved slowly and kept as calm as possible until she heard a
pounding at her door making her scream and jump quickly.
The door opened quickly and she saw a lamp move in fallowed
by Ellen. Ellen was wearing a brown slicker and large black rain boots. She
smiled a bit before looking around and closed the door.
�Ellen!� Robin held her chest.
�Sorry Robin, but the storm is getting worse we are going to
take out live stock up to the caves. We need all the help we can get. We are
going to stay up there with our animals and the town.� Ellen spoke quickly
before pulling Robin out of the house quickly.
�Ah�� Robin quickly grabbed her rain slicker and her boots
putting it on then grabbing Shadow and running out across the street with Ellen
as she was greeted by Bob and Grey loading the sheep in to a large cart and the
few cows tied to the front to pull with the horses.
Robin put Shadow on the cart and started to help heard the
sheep up in to the cart. Once loaded then ran after the chicken in the hen
house getting them out quickly. Once done Hank quickly started to move them out
leaving them to jump in the back as the cart started to move.
�Bob take the other cart and make sure those near the beach
are out.� Hank yelled back as Bob was already on another cart with another
horse. �Make sure you get everyone.�
�Alright heading I will need help?� Bob called back.
�I will help� Robin called out quickly as She ran to join
him Hank and the other already a good ways away.
Bob snapped the reigns and they took off quickly at a full
gallop before they reached a flooding bridge. Slowly he edged the horse across
to the other side Robin crawled across the cart and waited till they got to the
other side and stopped between the two houses. She jumped down and ran to the
wood shop while Bob rushed to the flower shop.
They moved quick and they had
Basil, Nina, Liz, Woody, Joe, and Kurt in the back. They moved quickly east to
get to the inn and the caf� making sure Doug Gwen Katie and Carl were gone. It
was quick moving as most of the folks had already moved out and now they were
heading back north to get away from the ocean and river and get in to the caves
in the north.
When they arrived they were greeted by others and they
quickly moved in to the cave. Joe smiled and was quickly assuled
by a cry and scared Katie. Robin quickly looked around before she found Shadow
curled up under the Saint Bernard that Doug had in his in. She sighed heavily
before she looked up and reached for the kerchief her father gave her and
stopped when she did not feel it.
�Oh no.� she started to cry as she left the little piece of her
father behind in her house. She quickly moved to the entrance and stopped
seeing the storm had gotten much worse she saw the roof rip off of Jamie�s
chicken coop and she back away.
�Robin get away from he entrance
before you get hurt.� Ellen spoke out to her.
�I lost something very important behind. I have to go get
it.� Robin looked back and started to head out when she was lifted off the
ground by Bob. �Put me down.�
�Your going no where missy, Important or not its not worth risken your life.�
Bob moved and put her down next to Ellen.
�I lost my Father�s kerchief. I have to find it. It�s the
only think I have left of him.� She stepped by Bob quickly but he proved to be
just as fast when he lifted her up again and shook his head. �Let me go I have
to go get it.�
Bob passed her to Gwen and Ann who took her to the back of
the cave where the other were to help comfort her. He sighed as Joe and Kurt
started to board up the door way. Joe looked to Kurt as Kurt watched what
happened and sighed.
�Do not even think about it Kurt.� Joe said putting up
another board.
�Who said I was thinking about anything.� Kurt Looked back
to Joe and smiled before he jumped over the board already nailed up and took
off running.
�KURT!! YOU BASTARD GET BACK HERE!!� Joe called out getting everyones attention as they noticed Kurt was gone. �DAMN IT
I AM GOING TO FINISH BOARDING UP! YOU WONT GET BACK IN!�
Joe got no response or acknowledgement and he sighed softly.
Ray shook his head and walked over to Joe making him go sit down while he
finished up with Dan�s help. They storm raged all night long and it was hard on
everyone. The cave was cool so sleeping wasn�t so hard in he usual hot summer
night and everyone tried to sleep.
Bob was laying against a sleeping
cow while Gwen cuddled next to him. Katie was leaning against the wall with
Joe�s head in her lap. Alex and Gina were curled up on a blanket with a pillow.
Every one had someone to help them feel safe even some of the village elders.
Robin sat alone curled unable to sleep from the storm with the lightening and
thunder over head. She felt so alone even though there were so many people and
animals in the cave with her.
Jamie walked over and sat next to her, he himself up keeping
watch. She looked to him and then back to Shadow who lay curled next to her
sleeping. He only smiled and put his hand on her shoulder.
�Don�t worry the storm is almost over.� Jamie smiled again
to her. �Get some sleep.�
�Yea, why are you still awake?� Robin looked up to him.
�I can�t sleep during storms like this. It makes me feel so
energized hearing the thunder over head and seeing the white flashes of
lightening.� Jamie smiled and looked over across the group of people. �Though
it is amazing that they can all sleep so soundly like nothing was wrong.�
Robin only nodded and looked down closing her eyes as sleep
was going to evade her to the bitter end. She leaned her head back and rested
it against the wall of the cave. She sighed softly before looking over to
Jamie. He looked as though he was in deep thought before he looked back to her
humming softly.
�Are you joining the harvest Festival in the fall?� Robin
hummed a bit
�Yea, why? Are you thinking of
joining too?� Jamie spoke softly.
�I don�t know. My crops are not growing very well right now�
Robin hummed softly. �Nina says she is have the same
problem with hers. How are yours doing?�
�Better then ever!� Jamie smiled before he
looking away �Well better then the start of this season I mean.�
Robin hummed softly and slowly got up and stretched before
looking to her watch in the dark cave and pushed the light button. The time
showed 6:00 Am. She was up all night and never knew it. She walked over to the
entrance and looked out seeing the raging storm had turned to nothing but a
heavy rain. She smiled and sighed happily.
The other soon woke slowly and they pulled the board down
from the entrance to let everyone out. They left the cattle and sheep behind to
keep them out of the rain till the next good day when they can be brought home.
Everyone rushed home to assess the damage done to their homes yards and other
things. Woody and Joe walked back to their home to start repair and to start
preparing for all the orders that are about to come in with in the next week or
so.
Robin held Shadow under her slicker his head poking up under
hers through the opening at the top. She walked back to her house and sighed
softly seeing it was still standing. She walked in and saw a few windows broke
and the rain got in. one of the corners of her kitchen was leaking badly. She
walked outside and looked up and noticed that the roof was partially torn up
and a good portion of the shingles was missing.
Robin sighed softly before walking back in to her house. She
might as well start working on what she can fix before she placed the order for
her house. She looked around sighing making a mental list of what needs to be.
Clean the water, clean the glass. Tape up the window and throw a tarp over the
roof to keep the elements out till it got fixed.
She went to work and most of it went by quickly because it
was easy to mop up the water and collect the glass while getting ride of any
thing that got in. It was simple work and by midday the sun was out and
shining. She walked back out of her house and looked around getting a good look
at everything with out the rain. She finished most of the simple things and
found she needed to tarp her roof. Looking to the tarp that Nina let her barrow
she started to collect it up so it can be used on her roof.
She folded it and started over to her house to figure out
how to get up to the room when she saw Kurt perched on her roof already. She
let out a shriek and fell backward in to the mud that was her back yard. He
jumped down and slightly smirked.
�Sorry.� He helped her up and took the tarp and with one
good hurl he had in on the roof. �I figured you would need help.�
�Yea,� she got up and groaned from her now covered back
side. �You left the cave why?�
�No reason� He grabbed hold of her wood box and jumped up
climbing on to it them on to her roof quickly. He started to unfold the tarp
and cover the roof with it. �You got a few Shingles missing and your back left
corner needs to be fixed.�
�Yea and I have two broken windows.� Robin called back not
daring to climb on to her roof. �Becareful
up there.�
�I do this for a living don�t worry.� He finished and
climbed down and made sure the tarp was tethered down securely before looking
back to her. �Let me check the inside I can get a full damage report and I can
tell Woody so we can start getting everything ready to fix your house up.�
Robin nodded and walked in to the house with him and removed
her boot by the door and showed him everything in the house along as let him
look around for anything else that might need to be fixed. With a nod he looked
to her.
�That corner should be find we will
replace the wall but the joists should be fine. You might have to replace your
stove but I am not and an electrition, You will have to ask Woody. Just don�t use it for a while.�
Kurt looked around at a few more things before and bowed his head and made his
leave.
�Thanks Kurt.� Robin smiled walking him to the door so he
could leave and bit her lower lip. �Hey Kurt will you join me for the Bamboo
festival. I know its not big or anything but I thought
it might be nice.�
�Hmm?� Kurt looked back and nods.
�Would be nice to celebrate together,� he walked away pulling a pad from his
pocket and writing a few things down as he headed home.
Robin smiled and shut the door and looked to Shadow before
she started to giggle and cheer. She lifted Shadow up and dance around bit
before she put him down and went to wash up. She couldn�t wait the festival was
only a two days away. She didn�t have much to plan for other them picking up a
bamboo boat and making dinner for them. She was so excited she couldn�t wait.
The rest of the day and the next flew buy. She managed to
pick at least a few dozen tomoatos from her vines and
she put them out to be shipped keeping a few for her self. She didn�t have many
ears of corn so she shipped them out as well. The day was going great. It was
sunny, she got her first harvest out, and she had a date that night.
She skimmed through her the few books she had and looked for
a good recipe for the tomatoes she had. Unfortunatly
most made then in to a salsa, or sauce. She looked and decided to make
something simple and made a couple of sandwiches. She wasn�t a big fan of
tomatoes but she still ate them. Humming happily she looked to her clock and
saw that it was nearing six at night.
She quickly changed in to a green skirt and vest with a
black shirt and brown boots. She still missed her father�s kerchief. She
couldn�t find it in her house and no one in town found it either. She sighed
softly and fixed her hair before she headed back to the kitchen to basket
everything up and head out. She took a deep breath when she heard a knock on
the door.
She was surprised, a visitor this late. Maybe it was Kurt.
She walked to the door and opened it up and Saw Jamie standing waiting. She was
confused as to why he was there but she had no reason to tell him to leave.
�Hey Jamie what can I do for you?� Robin smiled.
�I wanted to know if you wanted to float a boat with me.�
Jamie smiled to her.
�Sorry Jamie I already promised someone else.� Robin looked
down and felt bad.
�Its ok, I knew I might have been a little late asking.
Maybe next time.� Jamie smiled and stepped away from the house.
�Sorry again, why don�t we plan another time together, I
will let you know what my schedual is like.� Robin blushed a bit still
feeling bad.
�It�s a date then.� Jamie smiled and turned quickly walking
away looking back a bit till he saw Kurt walking near her house he walked
quicker away.
�Evening Robin.� Kurt spoke softly
from the fence though still loud enough for her to hear.
�Oh Hey Kurt. I was just getting
ready to leave to get you.� Robin smiled and quickly grabbed the basket she
packed and headed out shutting the door. �I hope you don�t mind a third with
us.�
�Third?� Kurt was confused until he
heard a bark and yip from Shadow. He only smirked. �Not at all, I hope you
don�t mind but I brought a bamboo boat to float.�
Robin smiled and shook her head as they walked away crossing
the bridge to the south then fallowing the river back north on the opposite
side cause there were no houses. Robin pulled a clean blanket from the basket
and spread it out for them to rest on. The sun was still up and it put a nice
glow across the village. They sat relaxing and playing with Shadow not really
talking until Robin decided to speak up.
�Kurt why does everyone not like you?�
Robin looked back to him not wanting to upset him.
�They believe did something I did not do.� Kurt sighed
softly. �The farmer that was here before you left because someone was trying to
ruin him. They thought it was me cause that same
farmer married the girl I really liked. They think I am that shallow.�
�A girl? They though you did all
that because of a girl.� Robin as a little shocked �And they didn�t believe you
at all when you tried to defend yourself.�
�Well it was specificly him that
got attacked, no one else. And I was caught with the smoking gun. They never
suspected me till after that and then they realized everything an it all fell in to place.� Kurt sighed softly. �Hey close
your eyes I got something for you.�
�I am so sorry. I believe you didn�t do it. � She smiled to him before nodding and closing her eyes. �Ok
don�t tease me ok, cause then I will hate you.�
Kurt smiled and reached in to his vest pulling out a red
kerchief and leaned forward and quickly tied it around her neck before backing
away, letting her open her eyes, and look. She looked down and saw the kerchief
and reached up taking it in her hand. She looked back to him tears welling in
her eyes before she almost tackled him as she hugged him.
�Where did you find it?� Robin blubbered out unable to hold
back her joy.
�It was tangled in a shrub just outside my home. I found it
and saved it. � He was startled. He didn�t think she
was jump and hug him like that. He smiled warmly and put an arm around her. It
was a good day for him to until his stomache decided
to make it self noticed. �Ahh
sorry.�
�Hehe, its ok I brought us dinner I figured we would be out
late.� Robin smiled to him before moving to her basket.
She pulled out the sandwiches and they ate still talking
about random things. Kurt was really happy with dinner as it was his favorite
though he didn�t say anything about it. They played with Shadow a bit more
before the sun was almost completely set. He pulled out the small boat and they
both moved to the river bank and putting their wishes in the boat and placing
it in to the water. They watched it sail down the river and they saw other
couples doing the same.
Kurt shied away from the river hoping that no one saw him
with Robin. He didn�t want the girls or the guys to attack him again and tell
him to leave her alone. He smiled to her and sat back down on the blanket for a
bit longer. He was really enjoying her company and only hoped she was enjoying
his. At the end of the night he walked her home before he walked home.� Maybe his wish will come and he can be happy
again and maybe with a new person beside him.
