I am extremely overwhelmed by how much you guys loved the last chapter and because I have two days off college I decided to treat you all to the next chapter.
Depending on how I end this chapter there might be a third one… if you want it

As you all know, Grant's older brother is evil and our favourite agent had to learn to protect himself and his little bro from him so this chapter is the promise Grant made to Skye, hope you like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, believe me, if I did then things would be a lot different.

Every time Skye stayed at a different house with a new family, it always amazed her at how comfy beds can be, the beds at St. Agnes were lumpy and bumpy whereas the bed at the Ward's house is soft, plush and most importantly… comfy! It usually takes hours for her to get to sleep but she was out within minutes.

She had no idea how long she had been asleep but she woke up to a dark figure standing over her, "Think you can come in here and mess up everything?"
"Huh?"
"Think you can come here and take over? Screw everything up for me?"
"M-Maynard? What are you talking about?"
"You! Pathetic little orphan! We don't want you here, why would we?" Maynard grabs the little girl by her shirt and pulls her closer to him, "let me lay down a couple of rules. Number one: you will listen to me and do as is say, number two: you do not tell anyone about any of this, number three: you break these rules and I will hurt you in ways you haven't even heard of and you won't even be able to remember who did it. Do you understand?" He drops the now extremely scared child back to the bed, in shock and too frightened to answer, the teenager gets angrier, "I said: do you understand me?!"
"Leave her alone Maynard!" Another voice came from the doorway, distracting the enraged teen from his victim. "And why should I do that Grant?" The older boy turns in disgust at his younger brother.
"Because it's her first night and you're she's scared and doesn't know any better so leave her alone".
"Fine, but don't you forget this, you little worm!" Maynard snarls at Skye then turns to leave the room.

Grant slowly moves to sit on the bed next to Skye who has tears streaming down her face and cowering under her covers. "Hey it's okay, it's just me, Grant, I'm not going to hurt you".
This helped Skye calm down a little but she was still shaken by what had just happened. "Are you okay Skye? I know my brother can be really mean but don't worry, I will protect you and I won't let him hurt you."
The girl still too scared to say anything, she just moved closer to Grant and let him wrap his arms around her, "I won't let anyone hurt you, ever".
"Promise?" Skye's voice barely a whisper.
"Promise".
"Pinky swear?"
Grant couldn't help by laugh when she said this and held her pinky out for him, "Pinky swear, no one will hurt you while I'm around", he interlocked his little finger in hers and lightly kissed her forehead as she drifted back to sleep.

~~~~~~~ 14 Years Later ~~~~~~~

"The secret is out, for decades your organisation stayed in the shadows, hiding the truth, but now we know, they are among us; heroes and monsters. The world is full of wonders. We can't explain everything we see but our eyes are open, so what now? There are no more shadows for you to hide in, something impossible just happened. What are you going to do about it?
How will you come at us? From the air? From the ground? How will you silence us this time? How can you? The truth is in the wind, its everywhere, you cannot stop the Rising Tide. You will not find us, you will never see our faces but rest assured, we will rise against those who shield us from the truth and nothing, nothing can stop us in the –"

The door to the van opens to a smirking middle aged man and a familiar younger man in sunglasses; scary men in dark suits.

"Hey, what up?"

I forgot I'm babysitting today and halfway through writing this the kid got dropped off so I had to try and write while watching a two year old boy and Peppa Pig and Fireman Sam lmao (if you don't know what I'm talking about, they are British kids shows, they are annoying as hell with pathetic storylines). Ryan left about 40 minutes before I finished this lol.

Its 8.35pm and I'm in bed in my pyjamas watching episodes of agents of shield to get ready for Fridays episode (the show airs on Fridays in England, if you didn't know).

Okay so there will be a third chapter to this story which I will write and upload this weekend, I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off college but I babysit Tuesdays and go to the cinema with my mum on Wednesdays so I can't write tomorrow, I have loved writing again and should really get back to my last story I wrote for victorious but I haven't written in over a year so I can't be bothered with it haha.

Thanks for reading, don't forget to leave a review of how good or bad you thought this chapter was
