Brendon handed her an icepack. "Come on, better go ahead and get it over with." He lead Trudy toward shonnalen's room.

Trudy sighed. she almost started crying again. if Shonnalen didnt punish her she was sure Bret would. she kept her tears in but her hands started shaking.
they went to see shonnalen.
Trudy didnt look at her in the eyes.
her hair fell over her face so Shonnalen couldnt see her eye.
she could feel Bret's icy gaze on her.

Shonnalen, now dressed in a pair of hip hugger jeans, strapless tank top, and half jacket that matched her jeans, turned to look at Trudy. "You got attacked didn't you?" She asked noticing the way Trudy avoided looking at her.

Trudy looked up. her lip trembling. " mmhm" she nodded. " i'm sorry." she said softly looking back down.

Shonnalen motioned for the boys to leave. Brendon and Bret turned and left the room.
Once they were gone Shonnalen walked over to Trudy. "So ... where did you go?" She asked tilting Trudy's head up so she could see her eye.

_________________

Trudy let a tear slip down her eye. she quit being sad and sighed. she didnt want to tell Shonnalen where she was. " i cant tell you.." she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Bret was waiting outside with Brendon. " she's gonna get it. if shonnalen doesnt do anything she better know that i will. she cant be running off like that." he said gruffly.

Shonnalen smiled. "Alright. That eye is probably goind to be sore for a while, so be careful." She brushed a strand of haor back from Trudy's face. "Just next time ... take someone with you. Please?"

Brendon glared at Bret. "You of all people ought to know Shonna better then that. Besides Turdy had the walkie talkie ... you need to quit buggin."

Trudy smiled a little. " ok..thank you." she said.


Bret glared. he was getting so irritaed with this kid. he raised his hand to backhand him across the face.

Shonnalen smiled back and stepped out of the room. She saw bret rase his hand to backhand Brendon, took two quick stepps and stepped in front of her brother blocking the blow with her hand. Her blue eyes flashed angrily as she gripped his wrist.

_________________

Bret was in utter shock with his mouth hanging open. he couldnt say anything.
Trudy stood there not knowing wether to leave or stay so she didnt move at all.

"Don't touch my brother... ever." Shonnalen said softly as she released her grip. She turned to face Brendon, "And you need to quit smarting off." Satisfied with having chastized both of them she calmly walked away. "I'm going out ... Bret, keep an eye on things here would you."

Trudy looked at Bret and then at Brendon. she decided to walk away and go to her room. Bret caught her by the neck as she walked by. " dont ever do that again." he pulled her into a hug.
Trudy was a little shocked by this she expected him to hauloff and smack her but he didnt she hugged him back.
after they were done hugging she ran off with Brendon. her stomach grumbled. " man i wish we had some food. " she said rubbing her tummy.

Brendon watched Bret from the doorway of his room. He hatted seehing that guy with his sistr. He balled his fists up. "Hey .. Trudy ... I'll be up in the arcade." He said hoping that something other then packman was working.

Shonnalen stood outside the mall for a short time, then headed to the market where she traded a few things for some canned food. She was thankful for the fact there she had found a large cloth bag on her way. She checked the gun she had under her jacket and quickly headed back to the mall.

Brendon looked over at Trudy. "You cold?" He asked seeing the way she had stuffed her hands in her pockets. He stopped and unzipped his jacket. "Here... give me your hands." He said holding his hand out to her.
