Max POV

I clenched my stomach and gasped for air as I continued to get kicked. I feel his steel boot hit me in the shin, making me release my stomach, to reach my shin. I try to put my hands over my stomach before he can kick me again, but before I can, he rams his foot into my stomach repeatedly.

In the background, I hear muffled screams, then I saw it was coming from Angel, she was screaming because she was scared, but she wanted to help. Her screams were muffled because Nudge's hand was over her mouth, because Nudge knew that if Jeb herd Angel, he would go after her. Nudge had Angel at the waste trying to keep her from running to me, so she wouldn't get hurt.

My eyes started to flutter singling that I would soon be out. I kept my eyes open long enough to see Nudge realize I was almost done, by now she was on the floor with Angel bawling her eyes out. Nudge said something to Angel, then got up and ran into my room. Thud!

Nudge's P.O.V.

As I ran through the hall I heard Jeb pick something up off the table. Thud!

"Shit!" I said, practically throwing Angel onto Max's bed, knowing that I had about twenty seconds until Jeb comes looking for me. And if he didn't he would be passed out, and I would be able to get Max and look at her wounds. I locked the door as I was counting I, was at seven. Then I heard stumbling past the door, I backed up. I let out a sigh of relief, that he didn't try to get Angel tonight. I feel bad for Max, she throws herself at Jeb when he is going to get Angel, or myself. She knows I can take it but she doesn't want me to go through the pain, just like how I don't want her to go through the pain she goes through to keep us safe. I hate it, but I do appreciate it a lot. Max, and I both will willingly throw ourselves at Jeb in a heartbeat if he were to go after Angel, she is so small,she is only six, yet it seems like she knows, and understands what goes on in this house. In ten minutes I will go out and get Max, bring her here, and check her out. Then I'll take Angel to my room, and go to sleep.
