I saw it was Eli behind me, “Oh my realms. I am so sorry, Eli!” He stared at me like I turned into a hydra. “Why are you staring at me?” I questioned. “No reason, Rihanna. Emma, dear, can I talk to you for a second? Give the poor girl the drawing back and we can talk,” he said, putting his hand on the small of her back.

She hands back the drawing and lets Eli lead her outside. Emit comes down the rest of stairs, “Why the fuck did you try to punch my dad?” I turn around, “I’m sorry. I didn’t try to. I don’t like being touched, so when he grabbed my shoulder, I panicked. I threw a punch but if I knew it was him, I swear I wouldn’t have!” 

Emit turned away from me and walked into the kitchen. I shrugged and went to my room. I tried to put the page back into its proper place in the timeline most people call a sketchbook. I get the page back in the book to the best of my ability. 

I wandered into the kitchen to cook some breakfast. I get to the kitchen and see Emma standing there. I tried to turn away before she realized I’m here. “I know you’re there, Rihanna,” I hear her whisper, “So don’t try and act like I don’t.” I walked to the fridge and pry it open. “Rihanna are you fucking deaf?” I ignored her questions as I found something to cook. 

I see eggs. As my hand connected with the eggs, I felt a hand on my shoulder. My body tenses as the hand tightened its grip. I hear Emma’s voice from behind me, “Rihanna, your training starts today. You will meet a good friend of this family.” I nodded my head slightly. 

“Well, fucking say something!” Emma yelled. As calm as I could, I replied with “Why the hell would I want to talk to you!” “Because if I didn’t take you with me, someone who didn’t know your family would have!” Emma was fighting to stay calm. I could see it in her face!

“Yeah well maybe it would have been for the better,” I say. I calmly put the eggs back and walked to the stairs. As I walk away, I hear Emma say to herself, “I still don’t know why a hit was put on Richard and Bella.” I ran up the stairs to my room.
