The Blake Brothers

Chapter 3

I woke slowly in full warmth. I turned to find Jonah still in bed with me. Kyan was gone because I couldn't feel him on my back. I slowly sat up and poke Jonah in the arm to wake him up. I was supposed to go to their school today. Jonah woke up in a groan and sat up right beside me. "Did you sleep well?" I asked him. He gave me a small smile.

"Yeah, You kept me warm all night long. I'll let you get ready for tonight. I have to get ready as well anyway." He replied back to me. I nodded and he climbed out of bed and walked out. I followed suit and went to the bathroom.

I took my shower and got dressed in my school uniform. I then walked down to the kitchen to get something to eat. Claire was putting food away in the fridge when I walked in. "Hey Claire, how are you?" I asked her.

"Hey Alessa, I am doing pretty good. I am just about to start making lunch for the boys, would you like me to fix you a plate?" She replied. I nodded with a smile. She was such a great cook. I couldn't wait for what she would make us today. I walked out of the kitchen and walked to the front door. I need some fresh air.

Once outside, I walked to the large tree and looked around. It was beautiful out here. I think they had a lot of land because I didn't see any neighbors. I turned back towards the tree and bent down on my knees. I began to pray softy, when I heard someone walking towards me. I turned to find Kyan looking at me with a strange look. "What's wrong Kyan?" I asked him. He began walking towards me and sat down and leaned against the tree. He didn't say anything, so I turned and leaned against the tree too.

"Why do come here and pray?" He asked me suddenly. I looked at him and gave him a small smile.

"I come here because it's peaceful and it reminds me of home. I'm mean look, this tree stands alone in this huge field and the size of this tree. It has seen so many things by how old it is. It reminds me of my altar at the church I was living at. So much history wrapped around one tree. It just feels like home, I be here more if there was a swing or a canopy for reading." I tell him with passion. When I looked at him finally he was giving me a smirk. I blushed and looked away from him.

We sat in silence for a while. Kyan let out a breath suddenly and fell into my lap. He turned so he was looking up at me. I played with his hair and asked, "Do I remind you of someone Kyan? I'm sorry for asking but I was wondering because, you just seem to relax around me and not around the others." I asked him suddenly. He closed his eyes and nodded.

"You remind me of my mother. My mother was different from the others, she was kind like you and you kind of look like her. it 's been a really long time since I have seen her. Thank you." he told me truthfully. I gave him a large smile and bent down to kiss his forehead.

"Kyan, if there is anything you need to come speak to me about, please don't hesitate. You boys are protecting me in ways I have no clue of. The least I could do is listen when you need someone to talk to or to hold when you're feeling low. I'm sorry about all I have said to you boys, I should not of judged you like that." I told him as I leaned down on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me in hug. I held him for a moment, but he soon stood up and grabbed my hand.

"It's time for lunch." He said as he helped me up. I didn't let go of his hand as we walked back to the house. We walked in and to the dining room and took my seat. A plate was placed in front of me and I began to eat. It was some kind of soup, but it was still delicious. I ate what I could but I still wasn't much, due to my small stomach. The boys finished right after me, so I got up from the table and walked out of the room. "Alessa, we need to discus about what's going to happen tonight." Grayson called out to me. I turned and nodded my acceptance.
