“You touch her again and I will break all of your fingers,” Tyler said.
“So you’re the only one who gets to hurt me, huh, Tyler?” I don’t know why I said it, but it was like something had snapped. I was on my feet now and Tyler still wasn’t looking at me. “You bastard, answer me.”
He looked over at me and I could see the anger in his eyes. He was furious. The look was enough to send a little shudder of fear through me. There was a warning there that I hadn’t seen before.
I recoiled and took a step back. “Leave me alone. Both of you.”
Tyler grunted. “Out, Julian.” He pushed his friend toward the door before turning back to look at me. “You stay here and you don’t leave. I will take you to the ceremony and then you won’t be my problem anymore.”
Julian and Tyler walked out the door, slamming it behind them. As soon as they were gone, I took a breath, letting my guard down a little. My whole body was shaking and I was near tears. This was never going to end. As long as I was here, I was a target. I was going to end up just like my mom or worse. I had to get out of here but I needed to do it on my terms. I had no idea what game Tyler was playing, but I wasn’t sure how much more I could push him.
I had no choice. I’d wait here and go to the stupid ceremony and when everyone else shifted and ran in the woods, I’d run the other way.
