and left the room. Jack went over to George still holding himself down there, "How funny is that, huh? I get punched in the worst place ever to get punched and you're over here laughing so hard you can't even stand. I can barely walk now." George turned to him and replied, "I told you not to underestimate her fury. When her fury is locked up inside, it isn't at all pleasant when it's let out. And trust me my punishment isn't yet through. She's probably done with you because that was pretty bad, but you can never tell with her." Jack left and George followed him. They met Kattie outside who was already in the carrige waiting for them. Jack sat next to Kattie and George sat across from them. Kattie held Jack's hand, "Well let's go home. I'm tired of seeing this doctor's office." The carrige was off and they were going back to the castle.
When they arrived at the castle Kattie got out and streched her legs. Jack and George got out and stood behind her. Kattie just stood there, "It feels good to be standing after some two men had me tied to the bed to keep me there." George and Jack walked around her but Kattie tripped George. George landed on his hands and knees. He would've landed on his face if he didn't put his hands out in front of him. Kattie helped him up, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you? Good. But now let's see you go sit in bed for a whole week. See how you feel then." George dusted himself off, "You're loving this aren't you?" Kattie nodded and walked inside and went straight upstairs. Jack and George followed. Kattie stopped in the hallway, "Jack. Which room will George be staying in?" Jack looked around, "How about the one next to ours?" George looked at the room. And he didn't like the fact that they shared rooms. Kattie turned and showed George to his room. George smiled and put his stuff down. Kattie and Jack left him to his new room and went into theirs. Jack shut the door behind him and went over to Kattie who was now looking out the window. Jack put his arms around her, "I love you." Kattie looked up and kissed him, "I love you too." Jack rested his chin on her shoulder when there was a knock on the door. Jack went over and answered it. It was Mr. McNight, "Sir, sorry to disturb you. But there a few angry farmers waiting for you downstairs in your office." Jack nodded, "Thank you Mr. McNight. I'll be down in a minute." Mr. McNight bowed and left. Jack went back over to Kattie, "Unfortunately, it looks like I have to go downstairs and deal with a couple of farmers. I won't be gone long. Alright." Kattie smiled and nodded. He kissed her and left leaving the door open. Kattie looked back out the window and silently cried. George saw the door open so he went right in, "Kattie." George went over to her and realized she was crying, "Hey. What's the matter? Does your chest hurt?" Kattie shook her head, "No. It's just that all this time I thought that you were dead. And now you're standing here in front of me. It's just a lot to take in after everything that has happend." George hugged her and just held her there, "I know how you feel. Sort of. When I regained consciousness I thought you were dead along with everyone else. So I went after Victor. I was going to kill him. But I heard him talking to this guy about where you were. So I decided to follow him. It's not exactly the same. But I felt over-joyed. I had hope in finding you here. And I did. After I saved Jack's life when he went after him." Kattie pulled away irritated, "Wait a second! Jack went after him? And what happend?" George knew he had just gotten Jack into trouble but he couldn't stop now, "Well I'm guessing he got angry that you got shot so he went after him at your house. And it back-fired on him. If I didn't show up when I did he would have been dead. Victor was choking him." Kattie kissed George on the cheek and went downstairs. She leaned on the wall beside the door to his office. She waited there for Jack to come out.
The farmers had came out with Jack following them. When the farmers were gone Jack went over to Kattie and went for a kiss. But Kattie turned her head. Jack was confused, "What's the matter?" Kattie looked at him with her heart thumping hard in her throat. She looked at him with a look that let him know just how ferious she was. He was about to say something but before he could Kattie slapped him. She slapped him with all her might. Jack was even more confused, "What was that for?!" Kattie replied, "Go ask George I'm going for a walk! Don't follow me!" Kattie left with her hands on her hips. Jack ran upstairs to find George standing in front of his room. Jack looked at him, "What the hell just happend? She just slapped me and walked out. She told me you knew why." George answered, "She found out about how we met. About Victor almost killing you and if I weren't there." Jack cursed under his breath, "Of course she would have to find out that." George replied, "Sorry Jack." Jack shook his head, "No. It's not your fault. It's mine. I should've told her. I should have never lied to her." George walked over to him, "You lied to her? I thought you just didn't tell her. What did you tell her?" Jack responded, "I told her that I just bumped into you and you told me your full name. But I better go get her before I get myself in more trouble." Jack ran downstairs and outside. He looked around, "Kattie! Kattie!" Jack didn't see her. He ran down the drive and got on a horse. He rode out through the town looking for her. He couldn't find her. He went back to the castle hoping that she had returned. He went up to George's room and pounded on the door. He pounded on the door until George opened the door, "Jack. What's the matter?" Jack answered out of breath, "Is Kattie here? She's no where to be found. I looked all through the town and in the castle." George got a worried look on his face, "No she's not here. I'll come with you. If Victor got a hold of her I'm going to kill him." Jack followed him downstairs, "This is all my fault. I'll never forgive myself if somethings happends to her." George and Jack got on the horse, "Don't worry about that now. Let's just go and find her." They left and looked all throughout the town and her house. They were out for hours and hours. They didn't find her. No one has seen her in the town. They finally went back when it was seven at night. They went and looked in the library. She wasn't there. George looked in his room while Jack looked in his room. He looked out his window. He saw someone laying on their back behind the castle on the ground. He couldn't see a face because it was too dark to see from a distance, but he hoped that it had been her. Jack ran to George, "George! I think I found her. There's someone laying on the ground out back. I can't tell who it is though. But who else could it be?" Jack ran outside and around to the back, George followed. When Jack got to the person he saw that it was Kattie. She wasn't sleeping, but she was in pain. Her chest was hurting. Jack picked her up and took her in up to her room. He layed her on the bed and got her pills and a glass of water. She took it and turned on her side. She faced George on one side of the bed and turned her back to Jack. Jack put his hand on her back and Kattie moved away, "Don't touch me." Jack sighed and brought his hand back, "Kattie. I'm sorry. I shouln't..." Kattie cut him off, "Please. I don't want to talk about it right now. Just please, just go away for now. Please." Jack sighed, but he left leaving her with George. Jack shut the door behind him and went to sit in his office. George sat on the bed next to her, "You know you shouldn't take it too hard on him. He didn't want you to get upset. And I would've did the same thing if I got the chance. And I believe if Jack was in the right state of mind that he would've killed him. Instead of the other way around. He loves you. I can tell. I know you love him too. But, next time at least let us know where you're going. We searched all through the town for hours. We were afraid that Victor had gotten to you. Jack was blaming himself for it. He said he wouldn't forgive himself if Victor got a hold of you." Kattie just layed there and cried silently. George sighed, "Come on Kattie. You can't stay mad at him forever. Look I'm the one telling you that you should forgive him. You know me. I wouldn't say that about anyone if I didn't mean it. Especially after everything that has happend. I didn't trust him at first. But he's earning my trust. I still need time, but I'm getting there. Look I'm going to sit here with you. But please. Forgive him." Kattie sat up and pulled her knees up to her chest, "Why? Why didn't he just tell me? Why did he go in the first place? I don't want him to get hurt. I already told him that I didn't want him to die like our family because of me." George stood up and looked down at her with a stern look on his face, "I don't ever want to hear you say that again. It is not your fault. You were getting beat and you had to get away. Now let me hear you say it's not your fault." Kattie replied, "I can't say that because it's not true." George repeated, "Say it." Kattie let out a breath and quietly said, "It's not my fault. But I only said it because you made me. It is my fault." George got angry, "Kattie! Damn it! Can't you listen for one minute! It's not your fault! It never was! He's just a bad man that you just happend to meet. That's all." Kattie got up and hugged him. She still believed that it was her own fault that her family was dead but she wasn't going to dwell on it. Kattie said, "I'm sorry. I just can't help but to think that. Why don't you go get some sleep. I'm feeling better." George asked, "Will you forgive Jack?" Kattie rolled her eyes, "I don't know. I'll think about it." George kissed her cheek and went into his room. Kattie went downstairs and walked past Jack's office to the library. She sat on the couch and brought her knees up to her chest. When she looked over to the door she saw that Jack was standing at the door way. She sucked her teeth and looked away. Jack asked, "Is your chest feeling better?" Kattie replied, "I'm fine." Jack went over and sat next to her. When he did Kattie looked the other way. Jack put his hand in her hair, "Kattie. Come on.
