Young Defender
Janie started crying as they all huddled together in a dark warehouse when Adam went up to her. He wanted to comfort her like daddy would want him to. He wasn't too scared as he knew daddy and his team would find him. They found everybody. They wouldn't let him down. They'd find them. He hoped they'd find them soon.
"It's ok, Janie. We'll be found. My daddy and his team are going to be looking for us," he assured. "They'll beat this bad guy. We'll go home to our parents."
"Really?" she asked looking at him trying to stifle her tears while he nodded.
He then noticed the supply teacher glaring at Josie and grabbing her arm as she was crying. He got up and stormed over as no-one hurt his classmates without going through him. Daddy always taught him to stand up and defend others so he would. Daddy would want him to be brave and strong just like he was so he was going to be.
"Hey," he shouted kicking the guy's leg hard. "You leave Josie alone. She hasn't done anything to you. If you want her you go through me." He kicked him again causing the man to turn to him and grab his arm hard.
"I'll teach you to stand up to me, little boy," he growled. Adam gulped but he wasn't going to show him he was scared he was going to make his daddy proud. He was going to be strong for daddy as he knew he'd find him.
He kept his tears inside and tried to be strong as the man hit him in the back and kept hitting him and punching his little body in rage. He wouldn't let this man win; daddy would win. Daddy had always told him if a bad guy ever took him not to show him any weakness and to be strong. As the boy never showed any fear or pain the man soon grew sick of it and let him go.
He sat back on the floor while his body felt battered and bruised but he'd never show it. That would be weakness and he wasn't going to let Josie or the others feel bad for him. He would defend them all no matter if he was the youngest. His daddy would save them all and take his pain away.
