Don't tell Mom.

part 5

I heard him growl, and then he forced his body weight into my legs, his right hand grabbed the bottle and his left pinned me to the wall by pushing on my chest, hard. I winced and  coughed, then breathed. I looked at him, he was watching the door, making sure no one was coming to check. I flinched, noticing how close he had come to hitting me with that bottle seconds ago. My brother noticed, he looked at me, furious.

"Don't speak."

I nodded, he got up and walked to his dresser placing the bottle back on it. I thought it was over until he said,

"I have a better idea," and walked out of our room and down the hall.

I waited a moment. Then got up and went to the door and peaked out. The house was dark, and Mom was asleep still. My brother had gone into the bathroom, the light spread out into the hallway. For a few minutes I watched the door waiting, then the light went out and I quickly moved back to my bed.

I dived under my covers. Moments later I heard him giggle and say

"You asleep?"

I didn't move, I was to terrified to. I felt him grab the covers. He pulled them off me. I curled up next to my pillow, and pulled my knees to my chest. He sat down in the middle of my bed, and then patted my back.

"Shadow, give me your arm. It will only take a moment."

I didn't move. He grabbed my elbow and yanked me up so I sat next to him. He locked my right arm under his left, and grabbed my wrist. He turned my arm, palms up. I started tugging, trying to pull free. He locked my arm in tighter under his own and pressed my hand to his knee.
