[ okay! ]

Tama chuckled, "And you better not forget to bring me more seeds tomorrow,"

[~echo~]

"Of course not!" he said. "Perish the thought!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

She laughed and finished up her glass of water, "Okay, I knew you wouldn't forget."

[~echo~]

Jack smiled. "I'm beat- let's go to bed."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Catherine stood and picked up the plates, carrying them to the sink, "After I get these cleaned."

[~echo~]

Jack nodded and undressed. He changed into nightclothes and then got in their largish bed.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama was quick to clean the dishes and set them out to dry. She shuffled over and unlaced get dress, slipping out of it.

[~echo~]

Jack smiled at her and scooted over.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama climbed in beside him and cuddled up to his side.

[~echo~]

Jack smiled and blew out the candle. A few minutes after that, a large crash signaled them hat the front door was being kicked down. Jack jumped up and grabbed his sword, preparing to fight. He got in front of Tama to protect her.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama jumped in surprise and clutched the sheets to her chest, "Who is it?" She whispered, golden eyes wide.

[~echo~]

Jack shook his head and hushed her. The door came down and three or four people tramped in, brandishing all sorts of weapons. "Who are you?" Jack said harshly. One of the men, the leader, looked at Tama. "You're father really misses you, my lady," he said with a hard edge in his voice.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama's expression just barely changed, her lips pursing, "I don't know what you mean, Sir. I think you have the wrong house."

"Quit talkin' an' jus' grab 'er!" One of the men grunted, drawing a long dagger.

[~echo~]

Jack roared at that moment and rushed the men , stabbing and cutting at them with his sword. Two men fell before him and then the two others continued to fight.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama rolled out of bed and reached under the bed, drawing a dagger for defense.

The man jumped back, away from Jack's blade, his dagger flashing out toward his side.

[~echo~]

Jack cried out as the blade scraped along his side. He had tried to dodge it but he was a bit slow. A but of blood spurted out but it didn't seem too serious. He stabbed the man in the kidney and then dispatched the other quickly. As soon as Tama was safe, he kneeled, clutching his side in pain. It was long and relatively deep.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Tama rushed over to him and knelt down, "Jack, lay back and press your hand over the wound to keep it from bleeding. I'm going to grab a towel."

[~echo~]

Jack nodded tightly and lay on the ground, his hand pressed on the wound as much as he could without it hurting too bad.

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

She hurrie and grabbed a few towels, wetting one and bringing them back, "Love, I need you to lift up your shirt."

[~echo~]

He ripped off the shirt with one fluid motion and winced as pain flared up in the wound.
