Falling from Grace
Chapter 14
"Wow, are you really a princess?!" The little girl stared up at Zoe with her big blue eyes. "That is sooo cool!"
Zoe smiled at the pigtailed girl, her eyes heavy with drowsiness.
"Calm down, Gracie," Tommy called to his sister from the kitchen. "It's late and you need to get to bed."
"Aw...okay," Gracie said as she shuffled away. "Will they still be here in the morning?"
"Yeah, but-"
"Cool!" Gracie squealed, clapping. "Maybe tomorrow we can play 'Princess'."
Zoe and the others laughed, while Tommy shook his head in aggravation.
"Maybe," he replied, hoping the answer would get her to go to bed. "Just get some sleep and please don't bother them."
Gracie adjusted one of the sleeves on her pink nightgown. "Okay, night Tommy."
"Night." He gave his sister a peck on the cheek, then gestured to the stairs.
"Yeah, I'm goin', I'm goin'." The girl bounced up the stairs, happy as can be.
"She's so cute," Ami and Zoe said in unision.
Tommy smirked. "Yeah, but she can be evil when she wants to be."
"If you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?" Takuya asked.
"The took off about a year ago, when I was fifteen," Tommy replied with a sigh. "One day they were here, then the next the only thing left from them was a note. I haven't heard from them since."
Ami frowned. "That's horrible of them to leave two children behind. Not that you're really a child, but you know what I mean."
Tommy nodded in understanding. "It was tough for me, but Gracie was devastated. She says that she hates them, but I know that deep down she doesn't."
"Why would they do that?" Kouji asked.
"They couldn't take the pressure of parenthood, I guess." Tommy rubbed his eyes. "My mother was pregnant with my by the time she was fifteen, they married young, and I'm assuming that they couldn't deal with it anymore."
Takuya looked angry. "Assholes like that shouldn't be allowed to breed...."
"I can't say I didn't see it coming," Tommy said. "They were always complaining about how hard life was and that they had never been able to do anything that they really wanted to do."
"But that's not your fault," Zoe retorted. "Or Gracie's. They had no one to blame but themselves."
Tommy shrugged. "Either way, they took off. I know they're still alive, though. Every month, a bundle of money is sent here, more than enough to provide for me and Gracie. There's never any notes with the cash, but who else would send it?"
"As pathetic as it is, at least they didn't leave you guys to completely rot," Takuya muttered. "Fucking assholes."
"I've been taking care of Gracie for the past year, but sometimes she stays at her friend's house. Hard to take of a kid that's ten years younger than me, but I make the best of it," Tommy said. "I've taught her well."
Just then, Gracie came rushing back downstairs.
"Gracie, I told you to go to bed," Tommy scolded. "It's almost midnight."
"I just wanted to show them something," the little girl replied, then turned her attention to the others. "Look what I got. And Tommy even made it pink for me."
They saw her holding up a bright pink handgun, and their eyes almost bulged out of their heads.
"I told you not to touch that!" Tommy snatched it away. "You know that it's only for emergencies! It's not a toy, so stop acting like it is one."
Gracie's blue eyes teared up and she gave her brother a pouty face. "I'm sorry.....I didn't mean to. I just wanted to show them that you gave me one in case I needed it. Besides, it's not loaded."
Tommy sighed, giving his sister a quick hug. "Okay, sorry I yelled at you. But you still know that it isn't a toy, so don't touch it until you absolutely have to. I didn't even want you to have one, but in this day and age, you never know what could happen."
"Okay, I'll leave it alone." She ran back upstairs, then quietly closed her bedroom door.
"Yeah, I spraypainted it pink for her," Tommy said sheepishly, looking at the gun.
Ami chuckled. "I think it's cute. Never too young to learn, I guess. Especially nowadays."
Takuya raised an eyebrow. "But if she fired it, wouldn't the recoil send her flying back?"
"No, I screwed around with it to reduce the shock. It doesn't fire as well as it originally had, but she just needs it to get away as a last resort," Tommy explained. "If she does it again, though, I'm taking the damn thing away."
"Just out of curiosity, but what are we gonna do in the morning?" Kouji asked.
Tommy yawned. "Well, I have a bunch of people to call. I'll have them get here as soon as possible, seeing how Reuben's army is coming."
"Do you really think they'll help?" Zoe asked nervously.
"They better," Tommy scoffed. "It's not a good idea to piss me off. Besides, no one is happy about that douchebag in charge anyway. But it's not like we could've just gone and tried to overthrow him. But now that you guys are here, we have Zoe to scare them."
Takuya frowned, not realizing that he had grabbed Zoe's wrist. "You don't plan on using her as bait or anything, are you?"
"No, nothing like that. But just the fact that she is with us and is returning to claim what's hers is enough to make them panic," Tommy replied. "You know how it goes."
"Yeah, I guess."
Tommy gestured to four doors down the hallway. "My parents wanted a house with a bunch of guest rooms, so you guys lucked out. I'll be upstairs if you need anything, and help yourselves to any of the food we have."
"Alright, thanks man," Kouji said.
Tommy gave them a quick nod, then headed upstairs. "Night."
The four of them each headed to an empty room, not caring about food in the least. Within seconds, all but one had fallen asleep.
Zoe lay in her bed, staring up at the ceiling. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignore the hectic thoughts buzzing through her mind. What if Reuben's army caught up with them? What if there weren't enough people to help them? What if they simply weren't strong enough to defeat the tyrant?
Stop with the 'what ifs', she bitterly thought to herself. Just sleep and worry about it in the morning.
That was easier said than done, however, and she continued to toss and turn. Finally, she sat up in the bed.
"Screw it," she muttered.
Zoe got up and quietly opened the bedroom door. She needed some type of comfort, and knew that there was only one way to get it. The blond entered one of the other rooms, hesitating in the doorway for a few moments. After more deliberation, she decided to simply turn around and go back to bed. Just then, a voice stopped her.
"Zoe? Is that you?"
Zoe nervously looked over at the bed, where Takuya was sitting up.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Um, nothing. Just forget it," she replied hastily.
The brunette smirked. "Come here."
The blond stood there for a minute, obviously embarrassed by her actions.
"Come here," Takuya repeated.
Zoe closed the door, then slipped under the covers beside him. "Sorry if I woke you. It's just that...."
"You needed comfort," he finished. "Perfectly understandable."
"Pathetic, though." She sighed, rolling over.
"Is not," he argued. "Can't say I blame you. You just needed a big strong man by your side."
Zoe shot him warning look over her shoulder. "Don't flatter yourself."
"Oh, come on. You could've gone and talked to Ami," Takuya pointed out.
"Fine, I will," she replied, trying to get up.
However, Takuya pulled her back down and stared into her green eyes. "I'm kidding. You can sleep in here tonight."
"You sure?" Zoe asked, still hesitant.
"I'm not gonna kick you out or anything," he said with a laugh. "Now I have someone to annoy while I'm trying to fall asleep. I snore very loudly and sing in my sleep, just to let you know."
The blond rolled her eyes. "What've I gotten myself into?"
"Well, I snore a bit, from what Kouji's told me, but I won't sing," he assured her. "So you won't be woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of 'The Muffin Man'."
"If you do, I'll stuff one of your socks in your mouth," Zoe joked, rolling over to face him. "And don't worry, I'll be sure to stay on this side of the bed."
Takuya raised an eyebrow. "You don't kick in your sleep, do you?"
"No. Why, do you?"
"No, but I have a habit of rolling over, so don't be surprised if I get over to your side," Takuya quipped.
"And that will be when I give you a kick in the butt to move over," Zoe responded.
Takuya smirked. "Aw, come on. It's my bed."
"And this is my fist. If you don't want it to meet your mouth, you better move back over."
"Okay, okay. I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee anything," he said with a yawn. "Well, try to get some sleep. Night."
"Goodnight." Zoe pulled the thick blankets up to her shoulders, burying herself in their warmth.
Outside, heavy droplets of rain began to pour over the wooden roof, their sounds echoing through the house. Zoe felt herself shiver, tugging the blankets up to her chin. Although it was only rain, it sounded like bullets barraging off the walls.
Takuya sensed her wariness and looked over at her, slowly moving closer. "I don't know if this will earn me a kick in the ass, but maybe this will make you feel better."
Before Zoe knew what was going on, Takuya had wrapped his muscular arms around her and was pulling her to his chest. The blond was about to hit him, then immediately had second thoughts once her soft skin touched his. She snuggled up against him, and he was resting his head above hers, taking in the scent of her silky hair.
"I'll let you get away with this for tonight," Zoe finally whispered. "If you tell anyone, I'll kill you."
Takuya chuckled quietly. "I won't. Feels too good, and I don't wanna die so quickly."
As much as she refused to admit it, Zoe hoped that he wouldn't let her go.
