chapter 3 pt 3

Same had been right about the way people reacted to her on the rez. the men whistled and cat called, the women spit slurs and gave her dirty looks, everyone staired. she didn't let it show how nervous and embarrassed it made her. instead, she pretended she was in a parade, she had done those before, she smiled her prize-winning smile and waved like a miss America. she wasn't sure that helped the stairs, but it made her feel better.
once they got close enough to where they were going same slid from his horse and she stopped waving.

“Thank you for lifting my spirits during the ride Miss King,” he spoke, as he handed the reigns of Pale Moon to her.

she smiled "i tried my best."

“Please load your’s and my horses upon the trailer hooked to that Jeep over there,” he pointed to a 1983 forest green Jeep CJ-5, “while I go inside and get my belongings.”

she gave him a small salute and went to do as she was told.
she had just finished and turned around when she saw the man punch Sam. she gasped and covered her mouth. she would have gone to him, but she was sure this was something he needed to do alone. still her heart hurt for him a little, this must not be easy for him.
she waited by the jeep till he came walking out with his stuff. it was about then that one of the most beautiful girls she had ever seen walked up and punched HER square in the face. Marley saw white spots for a sec and didn't quiet catch what the girl was yelling at her then she realized it wasn't English. she blinked then wore back and hit the punch the girl back making her stumble. that's all it took, it was on. the girls went down in a ball of flying fists and feet and hair. it felt like it last forever in truth it was only a minute or two before they were pulled apart.
this was turning out to be a hell of a day.

Kate smiled and motioned her hand to the doorway before leading him out of the room and down the hall into her mother's office. she sat down in her mother's chair crossing her legs and tapping her fingers on the desk. "Now...why don't you tell me this big plan you have." she asked. if there would be cops crawling the ranch and if not then what to do if those psychos showed up.

after making small talk and smiling for a hour or so Rainey couldn't take it anymore and made her escape. she smacked into David on her way out. he sneered down at her still smelling of alcohol "running away already little mouse?" he teased and tugged a strand of her hair she didn't even bother she just shoved past him. she kicked off her shoes and took off towards the spot she knew Alex would be in. sure enough she found him camped out, stoking the fire and glaring at the embers. she smiled to herself then walked over sinking down on the ground and lying flat on her back not caring what the ground did to er hair or the fancy dress. "If I have to sit through one more of those things, I want you to take me out in the pasture and put me down." she huffed.
