Mj was walking as fast as she could out of the room to catch up with the others when Dante grabbed her by the arm and spun her around. “Dammit kitten will you wait!” he snapped at her impatiently, she jerked away from him and started to run, “I said dont touch me!” she yelled behind her. Dante ran after her yelling “Stop Mj, now!” she only laughed through her frustration and ran faster. Mj reached a door and reached out to open it, when Tanner did it for her she dove between his legs and rolled back to her feet. Mj spun around and realized she was outside with the rest of the hunters and for the first time she looked at her surroundings.
Mj was so upset she didn't even notice that she leaped off the top of the car, landed on the pavement and started walking “Wait up M” Sam shouted and Mj waved at her “Its cool girl, Dante’s been here before” Mj spat sarcastically “I'm sure he knows how to get there, plus I wanna try something,” and without warning she leapt into the air about 12 feet and grabbed the bottom of a balcony. Mj laughed and sw
Mj opened her eyes and instantly knew she was dreaming, she was back on the moon with its familiar deep blue grass and lavender sky, “Theron?” Mj hollered out, but there was no answer so she started to walk a little. She walked along a small stream until it emptied into a pool and Mj couldn't believe her eyes, the water almost sparkled. She bent down and touched it and for some reason she felt the overwhelming need to strip and dive in. A low throaty laugh cut her train of thought short “You may do as you please here little one, however I do not think it is fair for me to see your beauty before the boy” Mj turned around to see Theron in Dante form looking at he
“He could have just let you die you know” Ace’s words brought Mj out of her mind, they were sharper than a cold wind and Mj almost winced when he spoke.“What?” was all she could get out, and it was almost a whisper. Her stomach was in knots from crying and now she felt truly trapped and nauseous. Ace rolled his eyes and walked right up
Mj was painfully aware that before she had entered the room they were all laughing and joking and now the table was silent with only the sounds of vigorous eating and an occasional belch from Tanner or Ed. Mj grinned and decided she would be extra brave and a little mischievous “Hay superman” she stated loudly and looked slyly at Ace “I uh, I know your not real fond of me but I owe you big time for last night, so thanks” and she let out a breath of relief as to her surprise she actually felt better now.
Dante smiled at Mj and offered her his arm. She lightly slid under his elbow and clasped his forearm with both hands “lead the way prince charming” Mj chirped as he led her out of the dining area and through another maze of hallways “Prince charming?” Dante said quizzically and almost defensively “first I’m a chupacapra Now im prince fucking charming?” he said in a sarcastic tone that made Mj laugh a little
Mj became painfully aware of all the people staring at her as they walked into what she assumed was a community dining hall, there were large picnic style tables lining the open space and the tables were filled with every lunch delight you could hope for. Smoked meats of every variety. Dante chuckled and looked down at Mj “is something wrong” he asked amused,
Ace rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath, Mj was becoming impatient and folded her arms across her chest, she could feel he wanted something from her but for whatever reason he wouldn't ask. “What’s the problem Ace?” she huffed annoyed, “honestly this is the one thing I'm pretty sure I do fairly well” Mj had a fair amount of attitude flying out of her mouth now, “but it seems to not be good enough for you so if you doubt my ability please bring me another carcass and I will gladly show you and Ed here how to properly strip meat from bone.”
When Dante approached the kitchen he saw Mj was clutching her sides with laughter as Sam almost fell to the floor beside her gasping for air. Most of the pack had finished their meals and left the kitchen occupants to their shenanigans. To Dante’s horror he saw Tanner and Moxie trying to sword fight with cow tongues but were more successfully slapping each other with them instead. While Ace and Ed stood side by side with their arms crossed mumbling to one another.
