Previously on Ignorance:
I watched as Jake was pulled to his feet, mouth duck-taped shut, hands tied behind his back.
I felt my hand be tugged behind my back, tied together with rope.
I watched as Jake was pushed out the door first, and then I was pushed next.
I was pulled up the stone stairs, and just as I saw a black 面包车, 范 in front of the shelter's grounds, I felt
something heavy crack the back of my head, making me fall to the ground.
Along the side of a knocked out Jake...
______________________________________________________
I'm dead, I thought. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead, oh GOD, I'm dead!
"We are vampyres! We live on the blood, the fear, and the adrenaline rush that runs through your veins."
"Blah, blah, bity blah! We get it, you're creatures of the night. Are we done?" I said, and the Ramen's face went from calm to furious.
"You bitch!" He bellowed.
"GET THEM!" A different 拉面 由 the door howled.
"JAKE!" I yelled and the 拉面 turned, and came after me.
"SAM!" I yelled and she gave a 拉面 a punch, looked at me, and leapt to rescue me, eyes wide.
"I got you!" She said, grabbing onto my wrists.
"Don't let go." I 说 and we were both being pulled on the floor through the door.
I turned just in time to see the fourth 拉面 thrown to the ground 由 Bobby, kneeing the 拉面 in the neck. A crack filled the air again, and the fourth and final 拉面 was dead.
We need to move!" Derek said.
"But where?" Stan asked.
"The cave!" I whispered.
"What?" Everyone asked. "Speak up!"
"Just follow Jake and I," I looked at Jake who nodded, rubbed his head, and off we went towards the Cave where the dead 爱人 lay.
And now...
"We need to hurry!" Sam 说 calmly.
"I know that." I replied. "Jake, where is the cave!?"
"It should have been right over..." He pointed over to a huge rock. "...there...oh!" He pulled us all into the bushes with some OW'S and sighs.
"Wha-" Bobby began.
"SHH!" He hissed.
"What was that about!?" Bobby asked.
"Ramens. Were here at the Cave, but the Ramens are all over our 前一个 shelter. The only way to get there is to 交叉, 十字架 over there part of the land there searching."
"Which means..." I stated.
"Bad news, no new shelter!" Stan 说 with a worried sigh.
I looked around, and saw a group of 拉面 on brake, drinking blood from blood-bags. I then looked back towards the Cave's enterence. I looked back at our previus shelter, and back towards the Cave's entrance, then back to the Ramens. An idea flashed in my head like a light-house's light flicking on at dawn.
"Guys!" I whispered. "I gotta' plan!"
_____________________
"Yeah, there all like 'Oh no, come save me! Come save me from my death!' " A 拉面 joked, flailing his arms like a helpless little girl.
"I can't beleive they were a challenge!" A voice boomed. "Why!? Why were they a challenge?" A 拉面 broke up the group, which there laughs and smiles died. "Get back...TO WORK!"
"Yes boss!" All five Ramens said.
"Actually," I 说 popping out of the bushes.
"It's time for 你 to share the fun time!" Jake growled and all six of us charged the six Ramens.
________________________
"That was easy!" Stan said, slipping the Ramens flack-jacket on.
"Too easy..." I thought outloud.
"What do 你 mean?" Derek asked me.
"Where there's one, 或者 a few, there's more. If these are the people on brake..."
"Where are the ones that aren't on brake to do the job?" Jake finished.
"Bait?" Stan said, slipping the back-pack on.
"No, not bait." I said.
"More like a trap..." Everyone looked at eachother and smiled.
"Then let's go take what's ours." Bobby suggested, and off we went to grab our stuff right under the Ramens' noses.
________________________________________
We walked into the Cave, and looked around.
"Where's the blood, the smell, the bodies!? What happened to them?" I asked.
"Guess they had the bodies drained, and threw the carcasses away!" Jake said.
"Well, 首页 sweet home!" Stan said, dropping all of the stuff he could grab down onto the ground.
"Roomy," Sam said, placing her stuff in her 太空 of the Cave. "Could use some furniture but I think we'll deal."
"Were going back for the beds after we unload everything." Derek answered.
"Okay, but until then, how will we make sure the Ramens dont get us?" Sam asked.
"See that rock?" I asked.
"Yeah." Sam walked up to see where I was pointing.
"Were gonna 移动 it from there, to there." I made a straight line to the entrance of the Cave. "Then when we wanna leave 或者 come in, we just crawl out. Were gonna trim a hole at the corner, and cover the whole with leaves. Then when that person is gone, 或者 comes back, we'll clog it with the chunk we took out. Were safe, were not being hunted, and they won't even notice!"
"Good plan!" Sam 说 and went to un-rolling her sleeping bag.
"How are we gonna 移动 that thing?" Jake asked me in a hushed tone.
"Oh we aren't," I 说 and pointed to him, Bobby, Stan, and Derek. "You are!"
___________________________________
I handed the pillows, covers, and sheets to Sam to give to Stan to give to Derek to put back into the Cave. Then Jake and Stan came down to get the mattresses while Sam and I took the 床, 床上 frames. We were ready for the last one, and were walking out of the Cave, just when a 拉面 truck pulled up.
"HEY YOU!" One of the Ramens said.
I looked down, thinking this was our doom, and realized that we were wearing 拉面 uniforms.
"What are 你 doing!?" The same 拉面 asked.
"Uh..." I began. "We were making a camp site in this...Cave...here..."
"Really? Good idea! If 你 need us, 你 know where we'll be." He started to walk off, but I laughed nervously.
"Actually, 你 told someone else. So where would that be exactly?"
"At the Front Gate." He replied, looking around to make sure no one heard him.
"The Front Gate?" I asked.
"Yeah." He walked up towards us and whispered. "In between the Twin Waterfalls."
"Yeah, I know where it is! Alright, will do!" I 说 and he waved, and drove off towards the Twin Falls.
"The Front Gate!?" Jake said. "Do 你 know how fast we could leave this place?"
"Yeah, but don't 你 think it'll be kind of risky. Eight Bounty go missing, eight 拉面 leave this place. Kind of too quick. Good plan though." I 说 looking at Derek who was about to speak.
"Then what do we do?" Derek asked.
"We wait at least a 日 或者 two." I looked around, counted the beds, and we were one short.
"We still need one 更多 bed." Sam noticed.
"No! Were fine. I'll sleep with Jake." I looked at Jake who turned around so he could blush.
"You sure?" Sam asked. "Cause we can go get tha-"
"It's fine, Sam. Why don't we make a fire, and start some dinner! I'm so starving!" I interupted.
"No!" Jake turned, cheeks normal color again. "Girls, make fire, and dinner, after boys get big rock!"
"Good thinking!" Sam 说 wrapping herself in Stan's arms.
"Alright boys," Bobby said. "Stretch out!"
___________________________________
Jake and the other boys got all stretched out and ready to 移动 the rock in part of our safety. Stan was finishing his stretches just as the others took off there shirts so they didn't ruin a perfectly good one. Stan ripped his off in one quick motion, and they all went towards the rock, stretching there arms and legs one last time before moving it. They then placed there hands on the rock, and began to push. They kept pushing and pushing and pushing until finally another 拉面 truck pulled up.
"Hey guys," It was a different Ramen, probably headed for the Front Gate. "What up with the rock?"
"Oh, we need to block our shelter so no Bounty jump us, kill us, and take our shelter." Stan answered.
"Oh, let me help you! I know that you're new Ramens and all," The 拉面 pushed the men aside, placed his hand on the rock, gave it a thrusted shove, and the rock ran straight into the 墙 of the Cave. It was a few feet away from covering the whole thing up. "But your strength will come in soon. Should I 移动 it some more?"
"Yeah, cover the place completly, please." Jake said, taking this guy as an advantage.
"Okay." The 拉面 went to the other side of the rock, and gave it another thrusted push. The rock slid the last few feet and covered the whole Cave. "Anything else?"
"Uh..." I began, walking to an end corner of the rock that was covered 由 moss and green plants. "We need a crawl 太空 hole big enough for someone to crawl in and out. We need a chunk gone so we can place it back and make the Cave look like a huge rock. Do 你 get it?" I asked.
"Yeah, 你 want a crawl 太空 that isn't in pieces so 你 can place it back in there so no one can crawl in and kill 你 in your sleep! Got it," The 拉面 walked to the place I specified, looked at us all, and kicked a huge chunk of the 墙 straight through and into the Cave.
"Wow!" I said, amazed.
"Don't know why it stayed that way, so thick and all, but it looks good. 你 like it?" He turned to see our smiles of appreciation. This 拉面 may have been bad, but he helped us out alot.
"Alright, see 你 at the Front Gate if 你 need me or...something!" He hopped back into his truck.
"Thanks," We all said.
"Buy girls, buy hot shirtless guys." The 拉面 then drove off.
"Weird." I said.
"Scary." Sam added.
"There's gay vampyres too?" Derek asked, shocked.
"Apparantly." We all laughed, went back inside and started the fire.
___________________________________
Later that night...
Bobby and Derek were alseep. The rest of us sat around the warm fire, letting it heat up our bodies. Plus we found some marshmellows in one bag, 浓情巧克力 in the other, and ghram crackers in another. We made Smore's. They were good. They had everything a Smore should have: Marshmellow goodness, choclate galore, ghram 饼干 crunchies, and it came with a good depressing aftertaste! Yay! But they held off the hunger that still surged in my stomach.
"You tired, honey?" Stan asked Sam.
"A little." Sam then let out a huge yawn.
"Go to bed." I 说 and they both looked at me.
"What? No, it's my job to watch for tonight. I can't jus-"
"Sleep!" Jake pointed to the two beds they pushed together to make one big one. "We'll cover tonight, 你 just take our shift tomorrow night."
"Okay, come on honey." Sam grabbed Stan and pulled him off to 床, 床上 where they instantly fell asleep.
"Jake," I 说 as we laid down 由 the fire. "Can we talk?"
"Yeah, but whisper, don't wanna' wake the others." He answered.
"Got it..." I 说 in a quiet voice. "Jake, I wanna' talk about those kisses..."
"Oh,"
"They were..."
"Bad?"
"No! No! No they were great! But...they made me feel different. A feeling I haven't felt in a long time."
"What did 你 feel?" He asked.
"I felt...safe." I laughed.
"Why are 你 laughing?" Jake wondered.
"Cause...that sounded silly."
"No it didn't. The kisses made me feel as if we were living natural and normal lives. I felt that it was another 日 that we were together in bed. And then the whole 拉面 attack..."
We both laughed nervously.
"So...about your question..." I began, and he let out a huge moaning sigh that told me two things: He knew what 问题 I was talking about (the 'Will 你 Be My Girlfriend' question). And he was scared of what I was gonna' say.
"So..." He looked at me through his worried eyes. "What's your answer?"
"My answer..." I rethought my thought on this. I did do alot of thinking. And I came up with my final answer. I was pretty sure he'd like this answer, too. "is yes! I will be your girlfriend Jake."
"What?" He asked sitting up right.
"My answer is yes!" I said, sitting up too.
"Oh..." Was all he said.
"Oh? Is that a good 'Oh' 或者 a bad 'Oh'?" I asked.
"I don't know..." He 说 slowly.
"Jake?" I grabbed him 由 his shoulder, and pulled him into a kiss. Everything, the tension, the pressure, the fear, all of it, just slipped out from under us like a rug being under us one minute, then POOF! gone the next. Our lips departed and he smiled. "Will 你 be my boyfriend?"
"Hell yes!" He 说 and he kissed me once more.

THE 下一个 DAY...
I woke up wrapped in Jake's arms in our 床, 床上 that we were sharing. I looked around to see the 火, 消防 was almost out. It had a very tiny flame that was on a burnt log, licking it's way to finish the log off. And then it did. A low sizzle was now able to hear, and then smoke rose from it. I watched as the spark of life died too. And when it did, that's when Jake rolled over to the other side, letting me go from his clutches. I didn't wanna' wake him, let alone the others, so I got up to my feet slowly, making sure the 床, 床上 didn't creak and groan 或者 移动 to fast with movement. I looked around, looking to see anyone else awake 或者 not. I then walked over to the man crawl space, pulled the cube out of its space, and put it to the side. I went to my bed, reached under it for the matches, found them and placed them 由 the dead 火, 消防 place. I crawled out of the crawl 太空 very carefully, making sure my 拉面 clothes didn't get dirty, and went to find some wood. Fifteen 分钟 later, I shoved twenty wood bricks into the crawl space. If we were gonna' out live this, we needed to stock up on wood and not go out as much.
I crawled back into the Cave, closed the crawl space, and put two 更多 logs of wood onto the 火, 消防 pit. I then lit a match and held it on the wood for a 分钟 to two 分钟 before it ignited. I then looked over and saw Jake sitting up in bed.
"Hey," I whispered.
"Hey, what are 你 doing?" He asked, wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"Lighting 火, 消防 for light in our Cave-y shelter." I answered and he got to his feet.
"We need food." He 说 randomly.
"Yeah, breakfast at least." I looked around at the 食物 stash 由 the wall, lying 由 the fridgeratore that took an 小时 to lug in here. There was nothing for breakfast except 培根 and...eggs. "We need 更多 breakfast, but 培根 and egg bagels are for today!" I 说 and he smiled.
"Want help?"
"No thanks, 你 wash up and get ready. Breakfast is in bed!" I walked over to the fridge and took out the eggs and bacon.
"Alright, I'll go find a lake 或者 something to wash up in..." He grabbed a towel, and a bar of soap from the bag of soap, that had string through it so 你 didn't lose it while bathing, under our bed, then removed the crawl space, and then he was gone.
I know he'll be 安全 and all cause we were all in our stolen 拉面 gear, but still...hope he's careful.
_______________________________________________
(Alright...this part is in Jake's P.O.V.-Point Of View-Enjoy!)
I walked away from the Cave, thinking about where a lake is. I then stumbeled upon one, and saw that it was surrounded 由 walls of trees and bushes. 你 had to stand up on the 爬坡道, 小山 to see it, get too close and the greenery would block it from your view.
I pushed through the leaves and twigs, and made my way to the edge of the lake. I then looked around to see if anyone else was here. Nothing. I then took off my shoe and sock, and dipped my foot into the water. It was warm. The sun was being nice enough to not let it be too hot, 或者 too cold. I then took off my other shoe and sock, and rolled up the pants to my knees. I then put one entire foot into the water, and felt all the water was the same temperature. I removed my foot, un-buckeled my belt, and pushed down my pants. I then took off my shirt, and slid my underwear down to the ground. I put the bar of soap and towel 由 the clothes, and then got in. I made sure nothing got wet as I stepped into the water. I grabbed the bar of soap, put it around my neck, and started into the water to find a deep enough part to bathe in.
I waded all the way till I got stomach deep. The water felt good, really good against my naked body. I then sank under the water level, letting my whole body get wet and soaked before washing. I looked down and saw wet sand around my feet. I picked up a handful, and rose out of the water. I watched as the sand dripped through my fingers, making a plunk and a splish noise when hitting the water. I then took the soap off my neck, and masauged it with my hands under the water till it got soapy. I started to rub my self down with the soap, covering every inch I could reach. I watched as the suds floated away and dissolved in the water. I then rinsed my whole body off, and soaped up my hair using the remaining soap in my hands and fingers. Once my hair was all sudsy, I dipped down into the water and ran my fingers through and through the strands of hair until it was sudsy-free!
I walked onto the 支撑, 海岸 of the lake, put the soap 由 my shoes, and dried off with the towel. I made sure I was dry enough to not get the clothes wet. I then pulled on my underwear, pulled up my pants, put the 带, 皮带 on, slipped into my socks and shoes, and tugged on the shirt. I clutched the towel in one hand while the bar of soap was buried beneath the cloth. I then smoothed out my hair, and walked through the bushes again. I made my way up the 爬坡道, 小山 and back to the Cave. I crawled back into the Cave just to see everyone moving around, grabbing plates full of 培根 and egg bagels.
"Hey, Jake!" Hayley 说 waving. "Your just in time for breakfast."
I smiled, put the chunk of rock back into it's place, grabbed my plate of food, and sat down on my 床, 床上 along side Hayley for breakfast amongst our friends.
______________________________________________
(This goes back to Hayley's P.O.V.-Point Of View-Enjoy!)
Jake came back just as breakfast was served. His hair was wet, and he smelled clean like the bar of soap he took. He placed the towel 由 the log 座位 下一个 to the fire, and left the bar of soap on it too. Knowing I'd use them both later tonight. We all grabbed plates, sat down in bed, and ate together. We all conversed on a plan to escape through the Front Gate, while eating our 培根 and egg bagels.
Everything seemed alright....so far.
