Boom,Pop, Pow. "OW!!" I exclaimed holding my chest where my brother had shot me with a beebee gun. He grinned at me from behind his shield that he had found somewhere in the woods behind our parent's house, "oh shut it you whiney baby! It doesn't even hurt that bad." He growled rolling his eyes at me. "I'm a girl Keefer being shot in the boob hurt!" I growled back at him.Keefer chuckled. "Oh boo-hoo whiny butt, it won't hurt if you keep being shot there." He grinned at me. I widened my eyes at his smile. "Oh no. no no no no no. I am not going to let you put a bullet on my chest until it doesn't hurt. No way in hell am I doing that!" I told him backing up, I turned and rushed away from him.Keefer grinned and shook his head before yelling, "You can run but you can never hide!" Before he rushed after me with a large grin on his face waving the beebee gun around like a madman.

"KEEFER!STOP IT!" I giggled as I rushed off. A older couple stepped off the porch was laughing while wrapped up in each others embrace. I rushed up behind the older women. "Momma, make keefer stop trying to make me not hurt in the boobs." I whined tugging on her long blue pleated skirt. While father laughed and picked me up resting me on his hip. "Oh my dear Anna. You gotta learn to fight back." He said with a wink while taking my gun out of my hands and shot Keefer in the butt when he went behind momma.

"Ow."He jumped and rubbed his butt with a slight frown while playfully glaring at father "momma!" He whined like the momma's boy he was. Momma laughed and ruffled Keefer's hair while grinning at father. "Why don't you hit both of them at the same time?"She asked him handing him another beebee gun. I said, "No fair,"While father laughed and hid me while Keefer started to shoot at us.

Someone pulled into the driveway and father stood up with narrowed eyes. Momma looked at him before wrapping her arm around Keefer. "Lu..."She whispered but father held up a hand for her to be quiet and set me down next to Keefer. "Papa. What's happening?" I whispered wrapping my arms around Keefer and hid my head when a tall guy got out of the car. "Paul. What a surprise to see you."Father said in a thin angry voice. He was glaring at the guy as he walked towards us, but I didn't move my head from Keefer's shoulder."Who is this little sweetheart?" Paul asked father nodding his head towards me and Keefer when I peeked out. Keefer growled and wrapped his arms tighter around me and said, "It is none of your business." He glared at the guy as mother wrapped her arms around me and Keefer. I peeked out towards the tall guy. My blue eyes scanning him from top to bottom. He had shaggy brown hair and bright green eyes that seemed to pull you in. He stood in front of us kneeling down but suddenly stood up and glared at Father.

"My...My na-name is.... Annabelle..." I whispered feeling close to the guy for some reason. Paul smiled and bent down to my height even though I hid my face again in Keefer's chest again. Paul chuckled softly. "Well sweetie my name is Paul. I am a friend of your Fathers." He said reaching a hand out to ruffle my hair but Keefer slapped his hand away and shuffled backwards closer to Mother.Paul growled but took in a deep breath and closed his green eyes that were turning darker.

Father chuckled softly." That's my son, Keefer." He was watching Paul with a new found light in his eyes. "Can... I speak to you Margret?" He asked Mother and said, "Keefer you as well.Paul won't hurt Anna." He glared at Paul when he said that, Paul glared back at Father. "Of course I would never hurt her!"He growled. "How could you even think that Luke!" I whined and hid my head again at the yelling. Paul's head snapped back to me and he frowned. "I'm sorry Anna Darling. I didn't mean to scare you." He whispered.

I nodded looking down. Tears welled up in my eyes feeling horrible for making him feel bad. "I... I'm sorry for making you sad." I whispered to Paul walking towards him. Father wrapped a arm around Keefer to make him stop trying to move to me. I walked up to Paul and wrapped my arm's around his neck. Paul froze before he wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up making me jump and giggle softly.

Mother took in a deep breath when Paul threw me up in the air. I laughed and wrapped my arms tightly around his neck feeling tired suddenly. I rubbed my eyes and muttered, "sweepy..." Paul smiled softly and placed his hand on my back and pushed my head on his shoulder. "Then sleep my precious." He whispered, kissing the side of my head. After that everything went black.
