Chapter 1-18 and Marron.
18 perked up to the sound of someone crying. She looked out the window and saw Marron limping toward the door with tears running down her face. In a flash, 18 was out of her seat and to the door. She quickly opened it and scooped up her daughter.
"What's wrong, Marron? Tell Mommy." 18 said.
"I got pushed down by a mean kid and hurt my knee!" Marron cried as 18 examined her hurt knee and walked into the bathroom, where she cleaned the scrape and put a Band-Aid on it.
"There now. Does it feel better?" 18 asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Mommy." Marron said with a smile before she gave her a hug that 18 gladly returned. 18 then gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Later that day, the kid who had pushed Marron was riding his bike when he felt like he was being lifted off the ground. He looked and to his horror, saw 18 standing there with Marron looking smug.
"Understand this, kid. If I catch you hurting my little girl again, you'll be sorry. Understand?" 18 asked. The kid nodded nervously.
18 set him down, "Good." she said before harshly kicking the back of the bike, "Now BEAT IT!" she yelled, scaring him off.
"Thank you, Mommy." Marron said.
18 smiled, "Anytime, sweetheart." she said.
