Chapter 21
1 stare wide–eyed at my brother, waiting for him to react.
But Rafe just…stares at me, his face ghostly–white, until I start to get seriously worried.
“Rafe,” I murmur, leaning forward a little, starting to reach out a hand to touch him.
“What the f**k Ariel,” Rafe whispers, so fast that the words all bleed together into one, so low that I can barely hear him. But the sentiment…is perfectly clear.
“Well it’s not like I asked for it,” I say, spreading my hands out, my eyebrows going up. “I didn’t do anything. Rafe!”
“We’re getting you out of here,” he says, his head snapping back towards the barracks, coming back to himself now and just like dad – immediately springing into action. “We’re calling mom – this
is over
“What!?” I gasp, and then I dart forward, smacking him as hard as I can on the arm,
“Rafe! No!”
He turns his head to me and growls, ready to retort, but I hit him again, which makes him pause.
“Rafe! You are not taking this from me just because that idiot doesn’t know how to handle himself! I want to be here I want to train as part of the Academy! This isn’t up to you anymore, you asshole!”
Rafe blinks at me in surprise – probably because I don’t think I’ve ever in my life sincerely called him an asshole. But I bare my teeth at him now, meaning it, because he kind of is being one. Rafe is not in charge of my future even if he thinks he is.
“He is going to kill you, Ariel,” Rafe growls, leaning forward and staring at me, making me see what’s at risk here.
“He’s known something was up since the first night, Rafe,” I counter, stubbornly crossing my arms. and glaring at him. “We’ve gotten through almost two weeks of him having no opportunity to hurt me – we can get through a few more days!”
“And then once you’re in the Academy?” he says, raising his eyebrows. “Because he’s f**king good, Ari he’s definitely getting in too.”
“When we’re in the Academy we’re allowed to carry weapons,” I say, speaking my ideas aloud as I think them because honestly I haven’t planned this far ahead
– – “I’ll learn how to protect myself!”
Rafe groans and buries his face in his hands, realizing that he’s not talking me out of here without a big fight – and also realizing, I think, that as much as I’m his little sister I’m grown now it’s
actually not his job to decide whether I stay or I go.
And damn it? I’m staying until they make me leave.
