Fighting a New World

Jax's POV

I was about to kill a child.

Carter was fronting with our boyfriends and dealing with moving in slow motion, which left me to deal with Bram.

I'll be the first to admit that he had definitely mellowed out these past few days but he was still a lot. I mean, he wasn't broadcasting anymore and he hasn't touched Carter or me since then but he still accidently fronted from time to time when something loud happened or when someone yelled. I would still take that over how he was before any day of the week though.

He was currently running around the front room like a mad man and laughing like a psychopath for some reason while I tried to block him out and watch the movie Carter was staring at.

I only last a few more minutes before my patience is wearing thin.

I was just about to say something when Bram stopped in his tracks, making me sigh in relief for only a split second before Bram started talking.

'Who are you,' he mumbled out as he started inching closer to me.

That question had me on edge.

Carter was up front, he knew who I was, and no one else was here. He shouldn't be asking that question at all.

I swear to god if he was just trying to scare me or something I was going to throw him against a wall.

I can't help but give out a sigh as I looked over my shoulder.

My eyes went wide when I noticed a girl standing in the doorway.

She was only a little shorter than me, had long light blue hair, about as tan as Callum, with bright green eyes.

'Uh hi,' I force out as I try to contain my small glare.

'Hi,' she said back cheerily as she moved closer to the couch making Bram shrink farther back until she sat herself on the far end of the couch while Bram circled back around to come behind me.

Her eyes set on the screen as if she didn't just pop in here out of nowhere.

'Do you know her,' Bram whispered as he glared at her.

'Does it look like I know her," I asked rhetorically as I looked back to the girl. 'Who are you?'

'Kyra.'

'Uh huh and what are you doing here?'

'I'm here to help keep Bram company when he's not up front and to help anyone else if they need it.'

What's going on back there, Carter asked suspiciously but before I had a chance to say anything, Kyra was already talking.

'Jax and Bram are just a little confused,' she said with a smile.

Who is that?

'That would be Kyra. She's our new alter.' Carter huffed at that.

What's your role?

'Caretaker and internal helper; I'll help by taking care of everything in the inner world.'

'Is that a good thing,' Bram asked as he eased closer to her.

It's not good or bad. Carter said with a small shrug. It's better than I thought it would be though so I'll take it.

'It's not like you have much of a choice,' Kyra joked, making Carter's frown deepen as he turned back to the movie.

It only took a matter of minutes for Bram to go back to running around and talking Carter's ear off about how cool Kyra seemed. I could practically feel Carter ready to explode.

'Bram,' Kyra said quickly before Carter had the chance to do anything. 'Why don't you show me around the house? Then maybe we can take a walk around the woods.'
