Chapter 11

I didn't know what to say to him. I wanted to run away and scream, but I was scared. Something kept my feet glued.

Finally I'm able to speak after a few minutes. "What about?"

"You've been here for a week and we still haven't figured out what you are. We know your parents are dead. They both alive living in a different clan they didn't want you to become part of."

I close my eyes to hold back the tears. "No my parents died when I was. . ."

He was up and covering my mouth in a few seconds. "Kim. You need to trust me. They aren't dead. We can't allow you to see them though, your stuck here."

By now fury was building up in me. I had been here and not even aloud to leave the cabin. I never get to speak to him.

I move my hands and push him back onto the couch. I clench my fists and look him in the eyes. "I'm not going to play your little game here. I will leave the cabin when I please, and you will not tell me what to do."

His eyes go wide and a smirk lands on him lips. He gets up and pushes me against the wall. He puts his one hand around my throat and lifts me off the ground.

"I like it when your feisty. Just, learn your place in line. I don't want to kill you Kim. If its to protect the clan I will."

Kain comes running in and pulls Tim back. I fall to the ground and reach for my throat.

I couldn't believe he did that. This was the Tim from when I was younger. Not the one that I've known for the past while.

Kain takes Tim out and begins talking to him. After awhile they come back in and Tim grabs me by the waist and pulls me up. He leans over and whispers to me. "I'm just protecting what's mine."

With that said he puts his hand on my back and leads me into the bedroom. He tells me to get ready for bed because I had a big day tomorrow. I wasn't sure what that meant, but maybe it wouldn't be as bad as the rest of the days have been.

When I woke up I was surprised that Tim was still fast asleep beside me. The light had just been shining in the windows. He had his arm around my waist and was holding me against him for warmth. I tried forgetting what happened to me the day earlier and cuddled up against him.

After awhile I began to drift into slumber.

Finally I feel something moving beside me and I open my eyes. It's very bright so I run my eyes and wait for them to adjust. When they adjust I see Tim looking at me. His eyes are almost glowing emerald. A smile appears on his lips.

"Good Morning sleeping beauty."

I tried not to smile but knew I didn't really have control of that. I smile and his grin gets a bit bigger.

He jumps out of bed and goes over to the dresser and grabs some new clothes. He head into the bathroom and changes.

When he comes out I do the same. He told me to dress in jeans. So I rummaged through the dresser and find a pair of jeans and a blue top.

After I change he comes over and puts his hand around my waist and leads me outside.

"What are we going to do?" I asked but I kept my voice lower so not so many people can hear, even though I know they probably could.

Tim smiles and looks at me. "Oh you'll see. You get to help us out around here."

His grip tightens around my waist and he starts to lead me through the town.
