Back to the Beginning (1x1 Paint and Britt)

[Paint The Wind]

She blushed darkly and said "Wenshoukd hurry before they find us." She started lacking his belongings since she had brought nothing of her own except Chico.


He smiled and stopped at the first few houses and made some deliveries before being stopped by the tax collector. "Fielding!" he shouted. Tim turned and said @Yes Mr. Gregory?" "Fielding you haven't paid your taxes." "Please sir, just one more week!" he pleaded. The man grunted "Three days."

 

[Britt-21]

Henry nodded and headed back, quickly packing and getting on his horse


"He's making money this week. So its ok."

 

[Paint The Wind]

The man glared at them and walked off. Timothy sighed. "When I was young my mother sold me into skavery to him because she knew that if I escaped for one year and one day exactly then I would be free. However he raised the taxes when I bought his land."


She finalized and mounted her horse. "Let's go.@

 

[Britt-21]

"How rude of him.." she said "I'll help you, dont worry.'


Henry nodded and led the way

 

[Paint The Wind]

She followed him quietly.


He smirkd. "You don't need to."

 

[Britt-21]

"Why is that?"


Henry looked behind him to make sure she was following

 

[Paint The Wind]

He sighed. "It's my job." He didn't know if he was going to be able to make it. He continued with the delievrries and got his salary. He ran over the the tax collected and said "Here sir." The man slapped him across the face. "This is not enough!" Tim got down on his knees and begged.


She smiled at him shyly and blushed.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi glared at the collector "You have no sympathy do you?" she slapped him across the face "You said three days. Its been one. Take this amount and we'll have enough on the third day."

 

[Paint The Wind]

He glared at Naomi and made a move towards her but Timothy blighted it, receiving a lunch to the stomach. He quickly ran off, pulled Naomi with him. He looked hard at her. "That's as plain dumb. Don't dinthat again, I don't want you hurt. He would have killed you."

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi looked at him "That is what you call knocking some sense into someone. Nothing kills me easily." she said, ripping her arm from him "I can take care of myself just as I always did..."

 

[Paint The Wind]

He didn't respond and just got back in the wagon with a new sense if coldness to him. He drove back and started chopping more wood.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi went with him and she went into her cabin to take care of the dead pig

 

[Paint The Wind]

He sighed and brought more wood inside to start a fire. He huddled by it and ate more cabbage water. He sighed and put down the empty bowl. That was the last if the food, so he started crafting his own bow and arrow. He pulled out a knife made of a bone and tarted shaping some arrows. He got some thick string and strung it on the bow.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi was splitting the pig and cleaning it out. It was a gross process but it had to be done. She put it to cook and she started washing her hands and arms and the table she used (not the one they eat on). She cleaned the floor too before she waited for the pig to finish cooking, once it was done, she started cutting it up and putting it on a plate before she walked out and to his cabin, knocking on the door "Hey..The pig is done"

 

[Paint The Wind]

He nodded and said "I hope it tastes good." he said as he walked out past her and into the woids to kill his own food. He drew his bow at a nearby deer and hit it square in the heart.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi narrowed her eyes and she walked in his cabin, putting the plate down before going back to her cabin and locking the door as she got her own portion of the pig, cut it up, and began eating it

 

[Paint The Wind]

He threw the deer over his shoulders and trudged through the snow as it started snowing again. It turned into a blizzard quickly and he stumbled blindly around. He was freezing and eventually ditched the deer. He just tried to find his way back.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi was soon done and she stood by her window and she waited. It took him too long so she decided to get a torch and light it before she prepared to go outside and she walked out, locking the door and she started looking for him

 

[Paint The Wind]

He kept stimbling, still trying to find his way. He tripped and fell into the snow and couldn't get back up. Little did he know he was only twenty feet from his cabin.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi kept looking around the perimiter, not sure where he was until she found footprints. Instantly she followed them onl to find Tim on the floor. "no.." she ran over and helped him up, holding him with her one arm and bringing him back home. She put out the torch and she walked inside with him, putting him by the fire

 

[Paint The Wind]

He laid still by the fire, shaking slightly. His eyes were wide and he couldn't get words past his lips. He closed his eyes and slowly got warmer.

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi took off her snow-covered cloak and she took off his snow covered jacket and got him a blanket

 

[Paint The Wind]

She looked up at her finally choked out "C-Cold…"

 

[Britt-21]

Naomi nodded "I know." she started making warm tea for him

 

[Paint The Wind]

He shuddered and tilted his head back.
