Ender's POV, 5:15 A.M., Ender's house in Greensboro, North Carolina
I was holding Petra as tight as I could. There was screaming and a lot of noise going on downstairs. After everything that's happened to her, something like this is really traumatic for her. I could tell she was afraid by how tight she was holding me. I held her back. If it was up to me, I would never let her go. Then, the thumping started. Petra started crying harder than I had ever seen her before. I would do anything to make me the one in pain instead of her. She doesn't deserve this. She's my everything and it kills me to see her like this. After about 5 minutes, Petra was still crying really hard. I pressed my mouth against her cheek and started singing to her. Her crying let up just a little. There was more screaming and thumping, and once again, Petra started crying out of fear. I immediately held her tighter. I let her lay her head on my chest. That'd when Colonel Graff and Major Anderson barged into the room.
