The Scared Sister

Chapter 9: Protection

Dawn's pov.

Standing in the hallway of the tree house as I hear footsteps coming closer. Pointing at my room I see Ace, Butch, and Diesel walk into my room. Blade and Ryder walk me down the stairs to the living room. Shaking I start to panic and tears were falling from my eyes. I am shocked that I can still cry.

"Dawn!" I hear Ryder saying as I lose control and I start gasping for air as I start to close my eyes and everything turns back as I feel myself falling.

DREAM (In the hospital in a coma after hitting her head really hard on the coffee table)

Sitting up slowly I look around and all I see is white everywhere. Squinting my eyes I see a door as I slowly stand up walking to the door opening it up as I step inside. Once inside the door closes behind me on it's own and now I am in a garden with a man standing in the middle.

"Hello Dawn. We meet again." I hear the man saying as I walk closer to realize it is my grandfather.

"Grandfather. Don't make me go back please. So much pain and heart ache." I cry as I run to him and hug him tightly as he smiles and hugs me back.

"My dear grandchild you must go back. It is not your time just yet and you have that boy freaking out about you. He has a very special day planned for you guys when you recover." Grandfather says as I sigh and we sit on one of the benches in the garden as he holds my hand.

Leaning my head on grandfathers shoulder he smiles and kisses my head. I miss him so much since he died of cancer three years ago. Grandfather was my best friend and I could talk to him about anything and everything.

"You have to go back Dawn. Rely on your family and become a member in their gang. They will provide you protection my dear child. I love you so much and I hope we stop meeting like this. Now go through that door and live happily baby girl." Grandfather says to me as I nod and hug him tightly as tears fall from my eyes.

"I am going to miss you." I sniffle saying to him as he holds my shoulder looking down at me and smiles.

"I will always be with you my dear in your heart. Looking over you from the clouds above and guiding you on your way. Now get going you have been asleep for five days and kept your family waiting long enough." Grandfather says as I nod and walk to the door turning around to wave at my grandfather only to see he has disappeared.

Turning back to the door I take a deep breathe. I knew if I stayed here then I would be hurting my family but if I go back then I face getting hurt. Sighing I open the door to be blinded by a light as I step forward.

DREAM OVER (WAKING UP FROM THE COME)

Slowly fluttering my eyes open I keep hearing a beeping sound as I sit up slowly. Looking around the room I see some of my family sleeping on couches and chairs. Lifting my hand I see that the stitches were taken out and my wounds were healed. Moving the blanket I see that the bullet wound is also healed but I still have a cast on my broken arm.

"Dawn!" I hear my mother shouting as everyone jolts awake and runs to my bed side as I am being pulled into a hug from her and dad.

"Hey." I say softly as Eric comes up and hugs me and I smile looking around the room at everyone's tired faces.

Looking up from hugging Eric I see Ryder by the door looking at me with a worried expression. Smiling at him, he sighs and softens his face before turning away. Tear well up in my eyes as I turn away and the room becomes tense.

"Well all of you can go home and get some sleep I will be okay." I say trying not to show my hurt but Eric gives me the look and I nod at him.

"That is a great idea but your uncles, dad, and grandfather are staying as well as your body guards. I will take the rest of the boys home to get some rest sweetie." Mom says as I nod and lay back on the bed as Eric stays with me.
