femslash100 - Drabbletag5: running away
Elle and Vernita sit next to each other on the bus. They don’t say a word, just keep track of the passengers getting in, tension high with the fear of being followed by someone.
“Do you think they will come?” Vernita asks, and after a moment Elle shakes her head, presses her lips together.
“I don’t think so. We’ll be gone until Bill even realizes we ran away,” she answers and gives her friend a reassuring smile. “We’ll be alright,” she continues with a soft voice and lays one hand on Vernita’s belly, already swollen with the child she’s awaiting. “When the baby is old enough to travel, we’ll look for a new place in a far away land.”
Vernita covers Elle’s hand with her own and sighs. “Yes, that sounds perfect.”
“And don’t worry. If anybody dares to come after us, I’ll take care of him,” the blonde says through slightly gritted teeth and thinks of the sword in her suitcase.
Vernita rests her head against Elle’s shoulder, trusting her with her life. She knows she can rely on the warrior’s word.
