she hadn’t expected for them to just ambush her like that . casually she’s been eating her breakfast by herself - being a traitor to broke jaw ranch’s cause . a defector . most people seemed to stay away from her , which pleased her in some way . the outbreak being the only reason she’d decided to come back thinking it would be the safest place on earth . no she wasn’t here because she wanted to . she was here because she wanted to live . blood boiling in her veins as her parents asks for her to come home - to sleep underneath their roof like nothing bad had ever happened inside those four walls . she would never set foot in that house again . never . “ go to hell , ” she mutters underneath her breath . not sure if they can even hear her . a fake smile is plastered across her face . “ i’d rather sleep among the death . ” she loudly speaks , nearing her breaking point . and for the first time she doesn’t flinch as her father slams his hand against the table , knocking over a glass of milk in the process . she just sits there , fuming on the inside but composed on the outside , as both of them turns to leave . just before a sigh of relief escapes her lips she feels a presence behind her . slightly chapped lips ghosting over the shell of her ear . ‘ i know a place where you can sleep . you’re even familiar with the place . or well in the dark you are . mike might even be pleased with your presence - not that i’d ever understand that . you’re a bitch harlowe , you always have been . but mike is kind , so he might let you sleep in his bed again . but could you just disappear afterwards for good this time ? ’ she can almost hear the cruel smirk that’s without a doubt carved onto the youngest otto’s face . and for a moment she just sits there , stunned , as he turns to leave . and he makes it a couple of steps before everything inside her snaps . pushing her stool away from the table , which she knocks over , moving to jump the taller male . but she never gets to throw a punch before someone locks their arms around her smaller frame and hoists her over their broad shoulders . carrying her away from the scene as she kicks and screams in their grasp . “ let me fucking go ! ” - “ i can take him ! ” - “ he deserves it ! ” are some of the curses that can be heard as they leave the scene and a smirking troy otto .
