Reboot special; Two Pair; part five

Supper came early. Lindsay was a bit upset as she checked her food stores. She pulled out a cream tart and told him, "This is all I have left."
Travis pulled an extra loaf of bread from his stores, broke it in half and gave half to her. "Here. Eat as much of it as you please." He said.
Lindsay gave him another favorable look. She kissed him on the cheek, knowing how  much he liked his bread.
His eyes traveled with hers. Something caught it behind her. Without much thought he grabbed his bow and notched an arrow to it. Though not in the mood for fighting Lindsay drew her blade and turned around. Just like that she was ready, a warrior born.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Travis yelled.
It was a pair of trolls. Neither of them stopped entirely but slowed down their pace. Both were grinning wickedly.
Travis didn't let either of them get close enough. He let fire an arrow and his bow spoke truth; it took him in the shoulder and pierced him there. Trolls might be dangerous but good arrows were well enough.
Lindsay did a flick of her wrist with her blade and charged the other troll with tenacity. They neither expected a great fight nor thought they were facing warriors born. One male and one female – two pair!
It was the final thought that went through his mind. Lindsay had gotten to him, and though his skill with a blade was accomplished he didn't stand a chance. Right about the time she arrived another arrow flew into the stomach of his friend. Lindsay battled him back far enough that she slashed the life from him. It wasn't long before he was joined in death.
"Are you all right?" Travis asked.
Like the reaper of death Lindsay cleaned off her blade. "Yeah." She said.

Night was beginning to fall. Clyde and Sonya came from afar. They were silent as they made their approach.
They came upon a sleeping Lindsay and Travis. Lindsay had her head resting on Travis'es stomach. "Clyde look." Sonya said.
Clyde had to smile. They finally got over their difficulties, or so it would seem.
"Come on Sonya, let's head to bed."
