Chapter 211: The Night Everything Changed
“Georgia ” Ethan’s voice echoed through my dream of the butterfly garden pulling me from my sleep. “Hey, sleepy head. I need you to get up.”
it’s not nice to wake a young lady up from her beauty sleep…” | mumbled, rubbing my eyes, yawning
“Alright, my precious eight-year-old young lady. Get up now, for me.”
I felt Ethan rubbing my head, and I protested, “Hey! Don’t ruin my braids!”
As imy eyes fluttered open they were met by his blue eyes. I sighed like a grown-up-those trouble making blue eyes! Those teenage girls always talked about how striking they were, and I had heard enough of it!
Yes, I got it, my big brother was one of the best looking guys in the pack, and being his sister had lots of perks-1 got candies, cute hair pins, and even free make-up from those teenage girls.
However, I also had to answer their endless questions, such as, “What’s his favorite color?” or, “What food does he like?” or, “What kind of girls are Ethan’s type?” and so on. I had to make them believe their best source of news was me so that they wouldn’t go to ask my brother’s best friend. I didn’t like them bothering Tally!
But now wasn’t the time for me to think about those things, because I was finally awake enough to see Ethan’s face clearly. I could tell how serious his expression was even though the room was dimly lit.
“What happened, Ethan?” I asked as I sat up. “Did you get into a fight with him again?”
“Him’ meant my father, because I knew Ethan didn’t like calling him “Dad,” and when I had the choice, I would avoid calling him that.
I didn’t understand why, but Soren was the only one who could be spared from his beatings…
Then I noticed that there was blood on Ethan’s shirt that hadn’t been there when I went to sleep.
Every time he got upset at Ethan, he would always hit him. I didn’t like it when he hit Ethan, but Mommy would tell me to go to my room. I wasn’t allowed to be there when Ethan was in trouble.
There were one or two times when I’d peeked through the door when I was really young; I’d seen so much blood that! was worried that Ethan would never get up again.
Glancing down, Ethan stared at the blood and shook his head. “No, I’m fine, Peach.”
“Don’t call me that. I’m not a peach,” I said, scrunching my nose at the detest for the nickname.
“All right, young lady,” Ethan chuckled. “Can you do something for me?”
My big brother had a task for me? Oh yay!
“Of course!” I was ready to listen attentively.
“I want you to close your eyes for me, and I don’t want you to open them until I tell you, okay? Can you do that?”
I nodded solemnly, giving him my promise, and closed my eyes.
Then I was scooped up and carried out of my bed by a pair of strong arms. Startled, I opened my eyes and saw my brother looking down at me, raising his brow.
“Okay, okay. I won’t look.”
Closing my eyes again, he held me tight against him and started walking out of my room. I wasn’t sure what was going on, but I could hear the soft whimpers of people around us and the muffled voices of others.
“Ethan?” I asked, keeping my eyes closed. “What’s going on?”
Chapter 217 The Noht Everything changed
“Nothing you need to worry about, Peach I am going to give you to Talon. And he is going to take you to his house to sleep over with Vicky
Tally’s house?
Tally’s house!
I would have a sleepover at Tally’s house! That was good news, however...
Normally, I would be over the moon to do a sleepover at Tally’s house, but tonight seemed a bit abnormal.
“I don’t want to go.” I shook my head, “Why can’t I stay with you?”
He sighed. “Just do as I say, okay? I promise in the morning I will be there for pancakes. It’s Sunday, and their mama always makes pancakes. Remember?”
I did remember, and a giggle escaped me thinking about the extra powdered sugar she always put on mine. “That’s a deal.”
“Talon,” Ethan’s voice said firmly. “Take care of her.”
“Yes, Ethan.”
I smiled as soon as I heard Tally’s voice.
I loved his voice. Once in a while, when he came over to hang out with my brother, he would read me a story, and I normally would doze into sleep in his soothing tone…
“Tally!” I tried to reach out to touch his face as he took me from Ethan. Once I found myself in his arms, I buried my head into his chest. He felt warmer than my brother.
I could tell from the fading footsteps that my brother had run away. It was just Tally and me. “I’m a little scared…” I said.
“It’s going to be alright,” he said to console me and gently patted my back.
I sniffed and nodded. My eyes were still closed, but I knew we had left our house. It was a little chilly outside, but I wasn’t cold in his arms.
Silence filled the surrounding area. It was like we were the only two people left in the whole world. A few moments passed, with my eyes closed, and I couldn’t help but feel scared again. It was eerily quiet. Some smell spread in the air…
a metallic smell.
“Tally?”
“I’m here.” He cradled me even tighter within his chest, seemingly wanting to make me warmer.
“Are you okay?” I asked. I kept my eyes closed because that was what I had promised Ethan, but I finally figured out what I was smelling. It was the smell of blood. “Are you injured? Does it hurt?”
He didn’t respond right away this time. “I’m okay, don’t worry,” he said finally,
pondered for a moment and asked, “Is someone going to try to hurt me? is that why I have to stay at your house?”
“I’m a young lady, not a kiddo!” i protested again. Why did everyone treat me like a child? I was a good warrior. I was able to take down some of the ten-year-old boys!
He chuckled. “All right, young lady Peach.” His tone was much lighter now. “You‘ve done quite well with your task. I’m impressed.”
But I heard angry howls from a distance and some loud noises that sounded quite chaotic. “Tally, are you sure everything is alright?”
