Things were slowly returning to normal in the Mecer household, Dakota had finally gotten her name changed to Haylei and it finally felt like they could move on. But the youngest Mecer didn't understand why she'd been attacked. Haylei asked over and over why it had happened and what the note meant, but she never got any answers. Her brothers told her not to worry about it, that nothing bad would happen to them. Right now, Haylei sat in her geometery class. She figeted around, having a bad feeling deep in her heart. The teacher called out her name, asking her to answer the question, but Haylei didn't reply.
"Haylei Mercer!" the teacher said firmly. Haylei turned her head from the window and looked at the teacher. "What does x equal?" Haylei looked at the board and read the equation.
"X equals 6!" Haylei replied. The teacher smiled brightly and continued her instructions. Jesse looked at his girlfriend but she turned away before he could see what was wrong.
Jack sat on the couch as they waited for Jerry to come home. They found out that he was involved with the people who killed their mom. He felt worry inside of him as he waited. He knew this wasn't going to be pretty. He was just glad that Haylei wasn't home to see it. She was too young to understand it. He frowned as he thought about all the bad things that had happened to her. He knew why the killers had targeted her, they knew how vunarable she was. They knew that she was the most precious things to her brothers, that she was their trigger. If anyone messed with Haylei, the brothers would snap. Jack looked at his watch and sighed, Haylei was going to be home soon.
Jesse raced to catch up with Haylei as she walked down the street towards her house. He grabbed her arm to stop her. Haylei dropped the books and grabbed his wrist. She twisted it as she turned around. Jesse groaned in pain and Haylei gasped as she let go.
"Oh my god! Jess, I'm so sorry! You scared me!" Haylei said. Tears pooled in her eyes and Jesse took her into his arms hugging and telling her that it was ok. Jesse had talked to Bobby and Angel. They made him aware of what happened. So, he understood why she was on the defensive side already. Jesse bent down and scooped up Haylei's books. As he stood, he took her hand.
"What's wrong baby girl?" Jesse asked. He could tell something was wrong by just looking at her.
"I don't know Jess, I've just got this really bad feeling!" Haylei told him truthfully. She kept her eyes straight ahead as they neared her house. Movement from the front porch caught her eye and a lump formed in her throat. She watched as a man in a ski mask threw a snowball at Jack. To her horror, Jack ran off the porch and chased after the guy. A ragedy old van was driving towads the two men. Haylei watch in horror as her brother was shot. Bobby and Angel were yelling his name. Jesse was trying to pull her away, but Haylei felt as though her body was shutting off. Jack was calling to Bobby as her other brother ducked for cover. Abandoing all logic, Haylei threw her books, breaking free from Jesse's grip.
"Haylei! No!" Two voices called. But she didn't pay any attention. She dived into the snow and began crawling her way to Jack. Jack called out to Bobby again, and Haylei's heart broke more. Jack reached out for her as she crawled to him. She jumped untop of him, trying to sheild him from anymore bullets. Nothing mattered to her as she held onto her big brother. She didn't care that his blood soaked her shirt. She closed her eyes, feeling his heart beat as she prayed. Jack manged to wrap his arms around her holding her tight. Tears spilled from her eyes. Feeling someone trying to pry her from Jack, she let out a scream. Bobby placed a hand over his sister's mouth and hugged her to him. Angel then took her as Bobby began tending to Jack. Sofi rushed outside telling them that she's call 911. Haylei removed herself from her brothers grip and clug to Jack, who coughed up blood.
Ok I realize this is really really short, but I've got work tomorrow and my parents are telling me I have to go to bed or I'll be grounded. I won't be allowed any computer time for a month, so I figured you guys would rather have it short then not see it for a month. Lol!
Shout Outs:
Elven-Princess Ginny: I know, I made it like that coz I figured with most big brothers the little sister is their tagert. If someone were to hurt their little sister, they'd snap. Plus, I'm the only girl and the youngest in my family, well besides my twin brother. If anything happened to me, my 7 brothers would snap and someone would get their ass kicked. Lol, I'm sorry I got a little carried away with Kodi being the main target.
darkdestiney2000: Yea, I know! I already had it planned to have Kodi see something bad happen to her brothers. I've just been putting it off to build the drama and suspence.
Sorry for getting carried away guys! Kodi isn't alway gonna be the main target, trust me! I've got plans. And to those of you who are in this story. Your parts are coming up in the next chapter. Sorry for the wait. Mae, I've already used you. You'll also be in the next chapter.
