Ronny raced through the mansion, not bothering to turn off the super speed as she did so, causing some of Andrew’s breakable possessions to rock back and forth, but not quite fall. The pool game was ruined as the force of wind from her running knocked them all around the table before she dove behind Will and froze. “Hide me.”
Will looked at her and then back to the nothing that was chasing her. “Ronny…”
“She’s after me!” Ronny insisted. Will rolled his eyes and turned on the super hearing, listening to the furious sound of stomping shoes and sporadic mutterings. He glanced back at Ronny and noticed the book she had in her hands. Granted, he’d only known her for less than a year, but he was nearly certain that the girl didn’t read books on Quantum Physics. The others looked over at Will who pushed Ronny in front of him before taking cover. Dax and Mack looked at each other for only a second before grabbing Tyzonn and doing the same. Ronny glared in their direction. “Cowards!”
“Shouldn’t we help her?” Tyzonn asked and the other three quickly shook their heads.
“She’ll be fine,” Dax insisted. “She always is.”
Tyzonn’s eyes widened. “This has happened before? What sort of danger does she face?”
The book was yanked from Ronny’s hands quickly after. Ronny pouted as Rose appeared directly in front of her, arms crossed with the book in one hand, and looking none too happy. Ronny scowled back a bit. “I wanted attention!”
“So you took my book?” Rose demanded. Ronny shrugged a bit, feeling a little sheepish over the matter now that Rose had caught up with her. “I was reading, Ronny.”
“You’re always reading! You never have time for me!” Ronny complained. Rose sighed and smiled a bit, setting the book down for the moment as she faced the other. She made sure it was in arms reach in case the conversation didn’t go to Ronny’s liking. She didn’t want to be chasing the other girl down all afternoon instead of relaxing a bit.
“For the last time, Ronny, I can only have sex once a day. I know you don’t tire out, but I do,” she said gently. As Ronny looked even more downtrodden, Rose decided to give in just a bit. “Why don’t you come back upstairs with me and we can cuddle a bit while I read.”
“You’re not going to read it out loud again, are you?” Ronny asked and Rose gave her a look.
“God forbid you learn something,” she said dryly. “But considering you were snoring the last time I tried it, no.”
“You know, you could put down the book and…” Ronny tried.
“I’m letting you in the room. That’s the best you’re getting,” Rose answered before the other could finish. Ronny pouted, but let it go as she followed.
Will listened to make sure they were really heading off before nodded and motioning that the others could get up. Dax looked happy with the situation as Tyzonn just looked confused. Mack turned to Will and the two shared a look. Considering their rooms were the closest to Ronny and Rose’s, they’d be bunking with Dax again. After all, once Ronny pulled Rose away from her obsession, the two were loud and long lasting and the boys wanted some semblance of sleep for the night.
