"I'm not going!"  Millie's  arms are crossed. Sat on the bed.

"That isn't an option, you have to pack your stuff and go with them..." Anna's explanation was firmly clear. Her eyes told Millie,  she had no other choice. 

"Like hell I am." 

"Yes you are. Get up,get packing. Now, we're going home."

Sebastian stated  clearly at the end of his rope with  Millie's persistent refusal. His authority tone cleared through.

Millie looked at him, acting like she hadn't heard a word he said. He stepped forward. I reached out, placing my hand on his shoulder.

I mouth (let me try) he's reluctant at first but stepped back.

"Darling. I understand your unwillingness to come with us.After everything you've been through. But could you please give 'us' at least a last attempt to earn your trust? Sweetheart."

She turns to me, arms still crossed. She seems to think about it considering my genuine pleas.  She turned to Anna.

"They've already signed the paperwork..."

  "Fine, it's not like I have a choice."

"Okay Hon, we're ready to go."

When we'd finally got to the car the woman whose name is 'Emerson' got into the front passenger seat. I go to the back.

Once I'd gotten in I just closed the door, turned to the window and stared out of it.  Not bothering to put a seat belt on.

I think we're already and going when  my eyes widen and I merely jump  seeing an arm reach over me with a strap.

I turn my head and it's Sebastian clicking the Belt in place.

"Im not a toddler you know. I didn't need help."

"Quiet now. If you were going to do it you should have done so,  We are leaving."

He speaks as if I don't know better. I rolled my eyes.

"Watch yourself Missy" He warns. Then shuts the door.

"Bye Mill We'll Miss You! Have A Good Life, congratulations!"

somewhere co- assistance showers with goodwill. But I don't know whether to be mad at it or not.

When on the way home Sebastian's attention is on the road. Emerson's asking questions for Millie to get to know her better. But it all goes left because she doesn't say a word.

"Millie?"

Emerson asked which only ticks, Sebastian's nerves as Millie ignored her.

"Millie, she is speaking to you, young lady."

  Sebastian looks at the girl in the view mirror as a traffic light changed for an immediate stop

"And?"

Millie said irritated

"Excuse me?" Sebastian turned , eyes narrowed at her

"What?" She snapped

"It is sir! Young lady, you had better stop with the disrespect, and attitude before you are across my knee."  Sebastian warned now.  

That catches her attention. With Sebastian's threat of punishment Millie's head snapped up now looking at Sebastian.

"Millie, I wouldn't test us if I were you,sweetheart."

Emerson explained simply, looking into the rear view mirror.  Her eyes hinted at so much warning knowing that Sebastian has zero patience when it came to disobedience, but only kept calm for her sake.

"Test what,  he can't threaten me into listening to you!!" 

"Oh trust me Missy, that wasn't a threat! I will spank you if you continue with this misbehavior!"
"That's crazy! You can't-"

"I will ,and can, I am your parent now little girl.  And have full authority to discipline you , however seen fit! So you either behave yourself, or you'll deal with the consequences of your choices!"

Millie's mouth opens to protest but one final and warning look from Sebastian from the mirror has her close it again.

She flopped back her arms folding across her chest and pouted.  " ...Fine..."


As Sebastian drove into their driveway. Millie stares  out the window.  Her eyes fixed on the house, the house roof she'd now be living under.

"Millie, let's get your luggages inside."  Emerson  said  as she opened the door.

The conditioner's air blows from in the house as they'd set everything Millie had inside.

"And this is your room!"

Emerson tells Millie as she steps into the last room of the house upstairs, where Sebastian and herself were currently settling her things in.

Millie looks around the room , it contains a single twin bed, one drawer,and two doors, one that connects to a bathroom  that connects her  room and there's and her own closet.
"Do you like it?"
Emerson asked
"It's fine."
Millie said plainly
"You can decorate it however you'd like, but for now it's like this."
Millie nods . Sebastian smiles watching her as she settles down her bag  onto her bed.

"You can put your things up  later."
holding the door of Millie's bedroom, Sebastian beckons Millie to follow   "Come down stairs and let's talk, we've got things to discuss."
