Spying? Sounds sneaky... :sorry: ;)

*peeks in timidly and waves* Figured I'd finally stop my lurking and actually brave stopping in to say something. :P This has to be positively one of the most addicting RPG's I've ever come across; I really am sorely tempted to join... You all do such an excellent job writing!

The Dark Knight :thumbsup:

Abby huffed and gave Thomas a glare that could have burned right through his cotton shirt. She turned to look at Maddie with a determined expression. "Madelyn Carter. We did not come all the way out here just so some cotton-headed Southerner could dash all your hopes on the ground like some old...

Thomas wasn't the best with crying girls. He swallowed and nodded, "Yes, I met your brother- well, sort of," he backtracked. "He was wounded in one of the battles and I found him," he explained. He then wondered if that was a bad thing to say in front of the girl who already quite upset. To...

Thomas blinked. Well, no wonder she was nosy. He turned quickly in the saddle, rummaging around in his knapsack. Snagging the letter between two fingers, he pulled it out and held it out to her. "I think I might," he answered, hoping this would be worth the trip.

Thomas was confused now, were all Northern girls this nosy? "Madelyn Carter," he answered bluntly. "Do you know where they live?" he asked again. Abby just sat by and watched the conversation with mild amusement.

Abby looked over at Maddie with a frown of curiosity and waited for the Southerner's answer. She tightened her grip on the reins of her horse to hold him steady while her friend conversed with the young man and wondered also why he wanted to know where the Carters lived. Thomas hesitated...

Thomas had finally made it to Boston and was feeling rather proud of himself for making it this far, except for the fact that he still didn't have an address for the Carters. He was unsure of how much longer he could stand the heat, when he saw two girls come riding up. Maybe they could help...

Abby giggled suddenly and then clamped a hand over her mouth as she and Maddie scurried past the frantic Ben. When they reached the barn, she helped Maddie saddle Treasure, ((her horse who now has a name)) and then quickly climbed on. "So where should we head?" Maddie asked. Abby looked up at...

Abby nodded at Maddie. "Yeah, the chicken coop was last on my list," she said, standing up. "Maybe he's still afraid of a little old hen-" she started, hoping they would be able to get away before Ben came squawking back over to them. Too late. Here he came, and he looked about as red and...

~ The Road - Later That Evening ~ Thomas felt his heart rate quicken at the sight of more cities and even a harbor. He had reached the North at last. Only a few more miles and he would be in Boston. At last, he was getting extremely tired of riding this infernal animal. Now all he needed to...

Abby's eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement at the mention of the deep south. She had never been there before. In fact, she had never been out of the north at all. This adventure was sounding more appealing every minute. She sat up on her knees, putting her hands forward on the floor and...

Abby pursed her lips in thought, and steepled her pointer fingers, tapping them against her pursed lips. After a moment she said, "He sounds nice." She smoothed her skirt out, playing with the ends of it with her fingers. "Any idea where you were at?" she asked Maddie, tilting her head to one...

Abby rested her chin in her hands, her elbows on her knees now. "Did he have a name? What did he look like?" she asked. She was prepared to ask several more questions about the young southerner in Maddie's dream; she wasn't superstitious but maybe this was some kind of sign that their plan to go...

"Oh, he is such a baby," Abby grumbled and scrambled to her feet. Quickly, she opened the door and easily snatched the angry chicken up in her arms, sticking her tongue out in the direction of the barn where her older brother resided in hiding from a bird that he was ten times bigger than. Abby...

Abby just ignored Ben's frantic squawkings, thinking that he sounded rather like the squawking chicken and that maybe he and Henrieta would make a good match after all. That thought make her smirk all the more and she stifled a snort with her hand. Regaining her composure quickly, she nodded and...

Abby smiled, "Of course he is-" she started, and then frowned, hearing something outside. She put a finger to her lips and crept over to one of the broken slats of the chicken coop wall. A grin spread across her face and she looked over at Maddie and raised her eyebrows, silently moving over to...

Abby grinned when she heard Maddie come into the chicken coop and set the basket back down on the shelf, carefully so as not to break any of the eggs. "Hi, Maddie!" she exclaimed, not caring if she startled the chickens. Wiping her hands on her apron, she sat down in the pile of straw and...
