You're my mate... I will never let anything happen to you

Chapter 13

December 26 

(1:00 a.m) 

"Keep quiet," I whispered to William. 

I unlocked the door into our bedroom. Sean is going to be very surprised, and I really hope he doesn't say anything loud. 

"I am," William replied. 

 I swiftly opened the door. 

William walked inside at a slow pace. I was tempted to stuff him into the room before one of the children got his scent. Children are very sensitive to sights, scents, and sounds. Anything can set them off, even a small wave of air that adults can't smell can get them into trouble. 

"Ow!" William whispered as he stepped on a pair of my pointe shoes. 

"Shush!" I hissed. 

I shut the door quickly and quietly. I locked the back. I listened quickly to see if Sean was awoken by his father's loud pain. Thankfully Sean is still sound asleep in bed. 

William picked up my pointe shoes from off the floor. "I think I broke these," He whispered to me, holding the shoes out. 

I smiled at him as if he were an idiot. 

I walked over to him and grabbed the shoes. I bent back the shank, thank goodness he stepped on the shank! 

I threw them on the bed, nothing wrong with the expensive shoes so lets just ignore them.

"They aren't broken, they are broken in though." I whispered.

"They aren't broken but they are broken?" William asked with a confused look. "You and your ballet confuses me."

 I smirked as he waved a piece of my hair out of my face. "That is the true purpose of dance. Confusion." 

I smiled as William grabbed my small waist with one arm and put the other on shoulder. William smiled back at our somewhat normal position. My smile faded as I leaned into kiss him yet again. 

A few agonizing seconds later William and I kissed in our bedroom, like we always did. Just a simple moment that I really should have cared more about. 

"Momma!" Sean all of a sudden yelled. 

William and I pulled out of each other's embrace. 

"Shush..." I hissed to my son. 

I walked over to Sean to keep him calm. Sean's expression was only of shock, nothing of fear or any other emotion. 

"Sean, calm down." I whispered. "Keep quiet and I will explain." 

Sean just nodded staring at William in careful detail. I stoked my son's forehead to get him to lie back down. Thankfully, he did. Sighing as soon as he hit the pillow. 

"I will say that I have been sneaking around to the Hopper's who had your father there. I got him out and now we are all safe." I whispered in a calming voice. 

"Why did they have him?" Sean asked the question I really had no longing to answer. 

"They knew his strengths could be used so they got him to join, but as always, he missed us." I somewhat told the truth. 

"Do we have to join the Hoppers?" Sean asked with a hint of worry on his face. 

"No, we are not joining the Hoppers." I told him with a slight smile. My smile faded. "We will have to leave this clan though, your father is supposed to be dead, if he somehow reappears with a story of the Hopper's he'll be executed. So we have to leave." 

"When?" Sean asked. 

I thought he would whine about leaving all of his friends behind, he will whine later though. 

"We need to leave by tomorrow night." I told both Sean and William. "You will tell them that I am going through another crying fit and would like to be left alone. And I will get us all packed. Do not tell anyone we are leaving!" 

I glared at him in a violent way that caused fear to sweep over his face. I softened my face, I scared him. I immediately felt upset about this, perhaps he hates me now? 

"I won't," Sean whispered in a submissive way. 

I wrapped my arms around Sean in a more comforting hug. Making sure to kiss his face before letting go.

"I love you and good night." I whispered carefully to Sean.  

I pulled the sheets over Sean's small body. 

(8:00 a.m) 

I loved last night, for the first time in a while William held me. Not very unusual but it is something I haven't gotten to enjoy in several days. The one thing I loved about it was the fact that he grabbed hold of me in his sleep. 

I am really just now waking up, William is still asleep just sleeping on my hair and breathing on my neck and shoulders. I love this position at the moment, although typically I am annoyed by the breathing on my neck. 

Sean is already awake and quietly playing around the room with the cat marionette. He doesn't appear to be bothered by any of this, going rogue and all. Then again, he is a child and children are oblivious to everything in this cold world. 

I have been planning what to do. I know I will still be doing the television show, and I know we can go and film the show somewhere other than here. Considering the fact that most of the actors live outside of this town area. 

Perhaps though, I should take the Royal Ballet Company's offer of joining the company. I should, it is in England, very far away from here. I do though have to get William on board with this idea before going on to make my final decision. 

I know I have other companies around America that I can get. The New York Ballet has been trying to get me to join ever since I first danced on the television show. The American Ballet Theater has been trying for a while as well. I can join a good number of these ballet companies, but I still have to get William on board with any of these ideas. 

I know if I did join any of the companies, William could get a job as a violinist. I don't know how good or bad he is at the violin though. 

Either way, Sean can just go to school later on in wherever the Hell we end up. 

I at least have that much figured out. I still have no idea how the clan will react to me just picking up and leaving. I suppose they would have expected it considering I am a widow and long to live the rest of my life all alone. I hope that is what they will think, I don't want a clan war going on just because I wanted to run away.
