"baby stand up.." I heard my mom whisper as she pushes my hair out of my face. "You need to stop waiting for someone to rescue you." She sighs seeing my tears. "One day no one will come, you will be alone in the world. Now get up my love." She says...
One day you will ask me which is more important? My heart or yours? I will say mine and you will ask what about your life? Mine or yours? I will say mine again. As you walk away, it's a shame that you didn't know you have my heart and you are my life.

I heard the front door slam open but I paid no attention, probably one of my brothers. I had been in my office all day just filling out paperwork, it's been hell. My office door was pushed open. Oakleys came in her blonde curls tied in a loose bun and her school uniform still on. She had stuff in her hand as she places them on my desk, taking a seat. "Elijah gave these to me." She mumbles softly. I grab one seeing that they are invites to the Scarlet dinners. I sigh, I hated these dinners. My father dragged me to them even when I wasn't the leader.
"Milo or Reed?" I ask her motioning to the other invite, she shrugs.
"I would feel safer with my brother there if you don't mind?" She says hesitantly, I nod gently.
"Sure, Your father coming?" I ask making her face go hard.
"No, he's not." She mumbles.
"Why not Oakley," I ask.
"He doesn't need to be there." She snaps the anger in her voice rising. I nodded not wanting to push her.
"Have you talked to him about everything?" I ask causing her to frown softly.
"No, when the time comes I will." She whispers. I say a quick ok as I get back to work. I just wished that she had talked to him...
I notice Oakley staring off into space causing the room to be quiet. She seemed stressed and I was worried. When I found out about her brother I was scared for her. She was already in danger just being Milo's sister but now she is a leader. Her life is no longer hers.
After about 30 minutes, I finish all my work for today and Oakley is still spacing off. "Angel.." I say causing her to flinch softly.
"Hm?" She asks confused about what's happening.
"I want to show you something," I tell her standing up, reaching to grab her hand pulling her up. She nods following me out of the room. I walk to the basement, I turn on the lights causing the room to light up. I hear Oakley suck in a breath. I took her to our gun room. Guns hanged from every part of the walls with a shooting range in the middle. "You need to learn to protect yourself.." I whisper as she takes in breaths.
