Ta' Simple Time

[I'macoolcat]

ooc: Bridget is the one being kidnapped, right? I'll assume she is. xD

Bridget
I gasped as a man put a handkerchief around my mouth. Who does he think he is kidnapping me? I did my best to fight him off; kicking, hitting, and attempting to bite.

[Callie]

Levi

I made a face and managed to dodge most of her kicks and punches, but she did bite me, and I had to hold back a yelp. When we reached Constance, she was smiling in an amused way. "Troubles?" she asked.
I grimaced. "A bit, m'dear. You could help."
"It's a lot more fun this way. I think I'll just watch."
I glared as she stayed on her horse and watched, just as she'd said. I hoisted the girl onto my own horse, then tied a rope around her hands so she couldn't get the handkerchief off while we rode. Once she was situated, I got onto the horse, and she took off, Constance following a few feet behind.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I grimaced as my kidnapper placed me on his horse and took off. I figited a little, but I knew I wouldn't escape.

[Callie]

Levi

After a while, we stopped at a quant little place that was more hut than house. I got off the house and removed the handkerchief. "Can I trust you enough not to run away if I untie your hands, love?"

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I nodded my head, attempting to put a frightened expression on my face even though I felt more angry then scared. I held my hands out to my kidnapper.

[Callie]

Constance

"Wouldn't trust if I were you," I told Levi with a smirk, starting a fire in front of the hut.

Levi

I shrugged at Constance and untied her anyways. I had the feeling I was going to regret this later. Hm. Lucky catch - she was beautiful.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I glared at the girl and smirked as the guy untied my hands. "Thanks," I murmered while rubbing my wrists. "Now, why exactly have I been kidnapped?" I put my hands on my hips.

[Callie]

Levi

I shrugged. "I got bored."
"And wanted to charge a ransom. You're gonna get caught, stupid," Constance said with a roll of her eyes.
"I never get caught."
"Quite the contrary. I've had to save you, what, four times now?" she smirked.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I rolled my eyes at them, "You're crazed if you think my parents will pay ransom for me," I paced slowly, "They don't care what happens to me as long as I don't cause too much trouble."

[Callie]

Levi

"Well, she might b - "
"Watch it. And you might be surprised by how much they actually care," she added, looking at the girl.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I glared distastefully at the girl. "You don't know my parents."

[Callie]

Constance

"From the sound of things, you don't either. If they gave birth to you and kept you around this long, they must care somewhat," I shot back, returning her glare.

Levi

I looked between the two of them and had to wonder if Constance's voice had some resentment in it or if I was imagining things again. I decided that it was the latter and went back to letting my mind wander for a few moments.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
"Just because they kept me around does not mean they care. I just happen to have several younger siblings that need looking after," I grimaced. I was beginning to like this girl less and less...

[Callie]

Constance

"Well," I said and shrugged. "I didn't know that. There ya go."

OOC: Aww, Bridget and Constance aren't gonna get along as well in this one as they did in the last one.

[I'macoolcat]

ooc: They didn't get along too well in the last one either if my memory serves correct. There relationship can improve though.

Bridget
I turned my head and gazed around, letting the subject of my parents drop.

[Callie]

OOC: They sort of did.

Constance

I turned to Levi. "So, O Smart One, I take it you didn't leave a letter or something telling them you'd kidnapped their daughter, so they'd know that they need to scrape up some cash before we return her, safe, sound, and whole?"
"Uh... right. No, I didn't. But they might figure it out when they notice it's been a while and she hasn't come back yet," I said with a shrug.

[I'macoolcat]

Jillian
I shook my head. "No, they won't do anything til the neighbors start noticing i'm gone, then they'll put on the act of grieving parents and will 'look' for me."

[Callie]

Levi

"Guess I'd better head back tomorrow," I muttered and sat down next to Constance.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
My head popped up. "To do what? Leave a note? Can I come?" I asked. That would be the perfect time to escape.

[Callie]

Levi

"Obviously not. You're staying here. I'll go alone," I told her as if it were obvious. It was. So far she'd been fine, but some of them had tried that, and then they'd almost escaped.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
"Fine, but if you leave me here I'll just escape.."

[Callie]

Levi

I laughed. "I'd like to see you try and get past Constance."

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I eyed the girl who I now know is called Constance and shrugged my shoulders. "You'd be surprised what I can do." A complete lie, but hey, he doesn't know that.

[Callie]

Constance

I smirked slightly, but said nothing and kept warming my hands by the fire.

Levi

"What, you know how to fight?" I asked in surprise. Well, fake surprise. I had a feeling she was lying.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
"Would it matter if I did?"

[Callie]

Levi

"Well, I'd love to see Constance having a tough time. Or a challenge for myself. Are you any good?" I asked.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
I eyed Constance. "Probably not as good as her..." I said slowly.

[Callie]

Levi

I frowned slightly. "Pity," I mumbled.

[I'macoolcat]

Bridget
An idea came to me. "However, I am a fast learner. If were to uh.."I paused looking for the right word, "..give me a knife, I'm sure i'd have the skill down in no time." I smiled brightly.

[Callie]

Levi

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Sorry, love, I don't trust you that much."
