Our Own Protection

»Chapter Eleven«

»Eudora's POV«

I stared up at the two identical boys, my arms crossed across my chest. "What is your problem?" Fall asked me, Spring standing beside him, staring at me.

I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"We invite you and your God awful sister into our home and the two of you invade our family's privacy," Fall states, glaring at me, most likely expecting me to back away from him and go.

"We didn't invade," I spoke. "Your parents told us to make ourselves at home, so we adventured like we would do at our own home." He shook his head.

"Still, you two inva-" I stopped him by holding up my hand.

"Actually, like I said, we didn't invade. If you don't want some secret drug room to be found, maybe you should hide it better," I said, turning to walk away from the boys.

"Where do you think you're going?" Spring asked, fiercely grabbing my wrist, making me whimper in pain. I was jerked towards the pair and tried to pull my arm away, refusing to look up.

"I'm going to my sister," Fall and Spring growled in unison.

"It's always about you and your sister with each other, isn't it?" Fall started. I looked up at the two.

I shook my head, my tongue caught in my mouth, not allowing me to speak. He laughed and I once again jerked my arm back, breaking it loose, but only for Spring to retighten his grip.

I growled, done dealing with their crap. "Is the little Eudora gonna hurt us?" Spring said mockingly, and I smiled as Spring dropped to the ground.

Fall reached out, trying to grab me, only to miss and trip over his own feet. I bent down, grabbing his shoulder before he was out too.

I sighed, turning around and continued to walk down the alleyway.

"Eudora!" My head snapped around, seeing Paris standing at the end of the alleyway, Zane and Ashton behind her.

I looked down, turning and standing where I was, not listening to what Paris, or any of them, were saying. I didn't want to.

"Hey," I jumped as Paris appeared in front of me, smiling. I frowned.

"Why have you been running from us?" She asked as I turned my head to see Ashton and Zane examining Spring and Fall. I barely could hear them talking about how it was weird that I took them down.

They don't know what weird is.

I looked back at Paris, my eyes widening in shock when I saw him behind her, standing at the edge of the alleyway, watching us. "Hello? Earth to Eudora," Paris spoke, waving her hand in front of my face.

I blinked, still seeing him there, but glancing towards Paris, who raised an eyebrow. I looked back to him before answering.

"What?" Was all that came out of my mouth. I jumped when I felt a hand on my shoulder but still refused to look anywhere but at the man that had been causing me trouble.

My head started pounding again and I felt weak. I breathed put a shaky breath but still stared at the him.

My body felt like it was going limp and I felt very tired. I felt arms go around me just as I fell into the darkness.

My breathing was heavy, and my head in pain. I was laid on a cement floor. That's all I knew.

I refused to look up, scared that something would be there, waiting for me.

My refusal was stopped once I heart the loud creak of a door nearby. I glanced up, seeing him there.

He had something in his hands, something that looked like a toolbox. I frowned, continuing to stay on the floor as I watched what he was doing.
