[img=http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s550/BOINGSY/elaine_zps9f5f557b.jpg][/hider] One time,then again, she spit out gravel and dust as she clutched at her tummy and writhed around on the ground like a worm ripped out from the soil. She just could not focus. Was that the sun? It was too bright, too real. But try as it might, the sun would never breach grey skies. Try as it might, the sun would never burn away the light misting of rain that fell to earth. But all she could try to focus upon was the blurry image of the twin white stars piercing her over-dilated pupils. [i]Wait. Twin stars?[/i] No, those were not twin stars... that wasn't the sun. Those were lights. White lights from a slick red sedan heading in reverse. Elaine was backing up. Fast. "Oh gawd... oh gawd, no..." Polly wanted to screech, but her voice was but only barely above a hoarse whisper. No way she would even be able to scream now; her throat burned all the way to her tummy as it somersaulted again over her other innards. Blue eyes that were even bluer now and sparkling with intermittent sliver lines in her irises widened as the full realization of what was happening broke through her thick skull. Elaine was going to back right over her and the tires of the shiny chrome wheels spinning underneath the slick red sedan was going to squish her skull just like a grape. No. Not just Polly... but... there was someone... no, something else with Polly now... something small. Fast. And clever. [i]Clever...?[/i] A fuzzy wet blur dashed towards the spinning rubber death neath the slick red sedan. It was lit up and bolting towards the car as if hypnotized by the twin reverse lights. "Wild Rose Country" said the words neath the letters and numbers of the license plate. They too were red and lit up, glistening with the fine misting that just passed over head. But all Polly could read right now was the word: [i]Wild.[/i] That's what happened. Elaine went wild. A small thud and the slick red sedan's rear jumped up a bit as it ran something over. Something small. And quite possibly something clever. Blonde tendrils plastered against her pale forehead and cheeks as Polly found the strength to toss her head up towards the damning grey sky and screamed and screamed and screamed and-- ---- --screamed as something landed on the hood of the car. "What the actual eff was that?!" Polly's knee came up to her chest as her hand reached toward the six inch blade hidden neath her right pant cuff. "Faye...?!" called Elaine from down the embankment about two metres away from the open door, "what is it? What's wrong?!" They were driving along and Polly's head started to loll, heavily mascara'd lashes and eyeliner'd lids rising and falling as she started to lose the war versus monotonous scenery and droning of the same news reports about 'freaks and animals' on the radio. Last thing she heard was Elaine saying that she needed to make a 'pit stop.' Apparently she couldn't hold it until the next rest stop; high grass at the shoulder would have to do. "Elaine? Elaine?! Where are you?!" there was real alarm in her cartoon-character sounding voice, "we gots company, girl!" The switch blade snapped to life and Polly opened her door and crouched behind it. One ragged-gloved hand lowered, tensed yet still restrained, regardless of the burning urge to unleash a swift and severe slashing but ultimately blind strike. The other reached around her back and grabbed the grip of her 9mm tucked at the back of her jean's waistband. "W-who's there, Faye,” said Elaine in a harsh whisper as she hurriedly pulled up her panties then pushed down at her skirt, “I don't see... I don't see anyone...” There was a commotion near the car, several frantic footsteps, even more curses, rustling in the grass from behind her. Then silence. “Faaaye...? You okay...? What's goin--” From behind a hand clamped her mouth shut and six inches of glinting steel flashed in front of Elaine's wide and terrified blue eyes. “Shhhh... it's okay, Elaine,” Polly's voice once again sounded like it came from a graveyard. The coldness of the voice carrying the warm breath into Elaine's ear made the brunette shiver, “I got ya. I got ya... let's just head back to the car. There's some kind of animal out there with us...” From behind Polly's ragged-gloved hand Elaine began to speak and with a single rough shake, Polly got her to shut up. “Shhhh...” Faye whispered pleadingly and kissed Elaine's cheek, “quiet, please, 'Lainey, 'kay? We're gonna go to the car now. You start her up and let's go, right?” Elaine nodded once curtly and Polly let go of her grip and uncovered her mouth. Hand in hand, the pair slowly made it back up the embankment as the skies darkened. A jagged flash of lightning in the distance lit up their faces and the slick red sedan. Polly stopped dead in her tracks. Thunder rolled over them, shaking the hollows in their chests. “I think it's in the back seat, 'Lainey...” “Yeah, saw it... kinda' big...” “Yeah. I'll take care of it. It's okay, come on...” They both circled round to the rear wind shield and peered in. Lightning flashed once more. Thunder rolled in and Polly breathed a sigh of relief. It was just her jacket with the sleeves bumping up that made it look like an animal. Both women had a little chuckle; Faye shrugged and shook her head as she retracted the blade into the hilt while Elaine held a hand to her chest and fanned her blood-drained face. Faye winked then after one last humourous look at each other, each went to their respective open doors of the car. Lightning flashed and Elaine screamed. Thunder rolled as Faye screamed with her. The skies opened up as the thing on the dashboard stared at them with shiny yet soul-piercingly dark eyes... ...and sniffed at them with a preciously puny twitching nose. “Awwww... it's just a baby bunny, Faye... it's sooooooo cute...!” The switchblade snapped back into it full length of gleaming razor-sharp steel life. “Hey, you! Get off there! Get the hell out, you dumb little fluffy fu--” “Faye! No! Nonononono! We should really just... hey... Faye, you okay? Hey... come sit down... you don't look so good.... are you okay, sweetie? Come on... sit down. Oh! Ewww! My gosh, Faye! Just wait! I'm coming over there... I'll just hold back your hair... don't-- Faye! FAYE!!! What's wrong! Stop shaking! Stop please! Oh gosh! GOSH!!!! Faye!!! It's okay... just let it out-- FAYE!!! Are you okay? Are you OKAY?! Wake up! Wake up, sweetie, Wake--” ------ --up till now, Elaine, never showed any aggression towards Faye. But as soon Faye's eyes fluttered open and she saw the colour of Faye's eyes, that all ended. In her head, the flashes of what seemed like random thoughts blitzed Polly's mind. Chaos pulsating along to the sound of a little heart, rattling away like a machine-gun on speed. [i]Running, running, the road. Cars. Grass. Foxes. Running. Fear. So much fear. Hiding. Running. Running. Running. Hunting. Not food. No. Clever bunny is cleverly hunting. A two-legger. A two-legger with a nice heart. A two-legger that is running away just like a clever bunny. Found her. Them. Two of them. Jump on big warm red ugly smelling thing. Bounce away. Hide under big warm red ugly smelling thing. Hop up and inside big warm red ugly smelling thing. Stare at them with with shiny yet soul-piercingly dark eyes... sniff at them with precious and puny wiggling nose. See the two-legger with yellow fur... see her eyes... soul. Found her. Clever bunny found her and she is mine. Mine! Oh sick! But now, other is yelling. Loud. Angry now. Shaking mine two-legger with yellow fur! Trying to start hitting clever bunny. Bounce away, flee! Big warm red ugly smelling thing angry now too! Roaring! Away! No! Must stop big warm red ugly smelling thing from running away! Help mine yellow fur! Stop! Go get it! Run! Run! Run! Wait! It is coming back! So clever. No! It chasing me! It chasing me! Big warm red angry ugly smelling thing is going to eat clever bunn--[/i] Polly lay there momentarily, half-sobbing, half-convulsing as the rain began to let up. Her chin finaly raised up and she saw the amber blinking of the tail-lights of the slick red sedan. Red. Red. The hue of vengeance flared up from within and consumed her. The retreating storms from high above coloured her eyes now and the sound filled her ears telling her tempting things, tantalizing things about what to do to the figure that just leapt out of the slick car and was frantically peering under neath that slick murderous beast checking to see that figure's handiwork. But no, Polly would not listen. Polly did not want those tempting things, tantalizing things to happen to the owner of the slick murderous beast. No, Polly just wanted it to end quickly. As she found the strength to run, she found a ragged-gloved hand pulling out the former police standard Montana sidearm from her waistband. Two hollow points for that figure. Right up close and personal so she could see the life slide out and slip away from that figure's eyes. One in the belly. The other in the back of the throat as she crammed it down that figure's throat and blew it's head clean off-- [i]“--f-Faye! I just checked i swear it was just a rock okay okay don't shoot okay it was a rock i didn't mean to i just reversed so that i could go back--”[/i] Polly had her pinned. The brunette's butt was against the pavement, dress soaking up the wet dirt, back pressed against the door frame of the slick red sedan, head pressing back against the matching red leather of the driver's seat. The barrel was stabbing into Elaine's abdomen as she babbled on. [i]“--i didn't know but i saw at the last second it was coming for me and i knew i just knew that i couldn't leave you behind okay don't shoot faye sweetie please don't shoot i was coming back for you and--”[/i] The chiming in the interior pounded in Polly's head, louder than the thudding of her heart. It was enough to drive her crazy. Then she heard the click of a hammer pulled back and locked in position. All she had to do was squeeze the trigger. Squeeze the trigger. Squeeze the trigger said her heart beats in time to the chiming in the interior pounding in her head. [i]“--it was a rock faye just a rock i don't know where it is but i came back for you regardless of what we said about the freaks with animals snow white disney demons right remember please don't kill me please--”[/i] The rumbling of the engine though. Oh, but it was thunder in her ears. Thunder meant only one thing. [i]“--faye look at me look at me i'm sorry okay oh gosh i'm soooooo sorry look at me please i didn't mean to--”[/i] Polly was ready to kill. The eye of the storm in her ears came. The skipping of a heartbeat in the moment of silence before she was to go and pull the trigger. [i]“I believe you, Elaine.”[/i] Elaine babbled no more. ------ Strange silver and blue eyes widened and stared into the slick red sedan. As if painted in drying cement, the brunette turned her head away from Faye and in the direction the blonde was looking. There it was again; the reason Polly did not squeeze the trigger. The skies closed as the thing on the dashboard stared at them with shiny yet soul-piercingly dark eyes... ...and the sound of thunder vanished from Faye's ears; it was just the rumbling of the big warm red and ugly smelling thing. “I swear, Faye... I just wanted to go back...” Elaine said gently as she pushed the muzzle of the gun away from her belly and pulled Fay'e's head lower to whisper in her ear, “I swear, I couldn't-- I won't leave you, Faye...” “Polly...” said the blonde as she locked gaze with the bunny above them. Without breaking gaze, she released the hammer of the gun from it's deadly position and swung her arm back around and re-tucked the gun into her waistband. After clearing her throat, she licked her lips and the lower one began to tremble, “...not 'Faye.' My name is 'Polly...'” “Hello, Polly...” said Elaine, her eyes beginning to mist up, “...and [i]my[/i] name isn't 'Elaine.' It's actually: 'Jamie.'” “Hi, Jamie...” Polly said and she couldn't hold it in any longer. She crumpled into a kneeling position between Jamie's legs and her tucked her head into the crook between Jamie's neck and shoulder and began to cry, “I... I believe everything you said, Jamie... about coming b-back...” “Then why are you so sad, Polly...?” Jamie stroked the wet blonde head upon her as she began to weep softly. But unlike Polly, her eyes shed tears of relief and released emotional tension. Polly's reason was similar but different all the same. For the most part of her life, Polly spat out and believed in only four-letter words; the bad ones. Never in her wildest dreams would she ever find that she could believe in a five letter word; a good one. “I'm not crying because I”m sad...” Across the border in Alberta, Canada, on the run from the Law and the lawless, on a highway leading back to Lethbridge, at the side of the road, in the mud and dirt after a storm, embracing a woman a decade her senior after nearly shooting her to death, just outside the open door of the driver side of a slick red sedan, she finally believed in that five letter word. “I'm crying because... because I'm--” It took a bunny to bond with her and open her mind and heart to believe in that word. “--I'm happy.” A little one pound bunny that thought it was oh-so-clever, more cleverer than any bunny out there leapt off the dashboard and landed on the driver's seat. Promptly she made her way over and nuzzled its tiny bunny head and ears upon Polly's head fondly as if she knew Polly since the day she was born. For the little brown and grey bunny with a white spot on its right flank knew the five letter word Polly now believed in was not the word: 'happy--' A slender pale hand from a blonde reached into the pale hand of a brunette and interlocked fingers. The blonde's other hand reached up to the little head that lovingly nuzzled her and began scratching at those little ears to the rhythm of the chiming from the interior of the slick red sedan. --no, it was 'faith.'
