Four
There was a knock on Alana and Tee's bedroom door. Tee opened the door and looked at who it was. She pointed towards the dark shape on the other bed before walking out of the room. Tyler walked in towards her. "they all know what I did to you," Alana sobbed. Tyler sat down next to her.
"I forgave you, you know. Ages ago. It wasn't your fault. I took you into the woods to trick you and you reacted how I thought you would. Badly. So it wasn't just your fault. Plus the others will forgive you if they see we are getting on," Tyler told her slowly. Alana poked her head out from under her duvet.
"really?" she asked doubtingly. Tyler nodded about as convincingly as he could. Alana clambered out of the bed.
"Shall we go down then?" Alana asked. Tyler nodded. Alana walked hand in hand out of her room with Tyler and into the living room where everyone was still stood. Carmen glared at her.
"Sorry. About earlier. Can we try again?" Alana asked quietly. Carmen's face softened and she nodded. Elektra continued to glare at her. "Gus isn't it?" Alana asked aiming the question at the correct boy. He nodded. "My name is Alana Sophiena Winters. I am twelve years old and I already know Rick and Tyler from Burnywood." Gus nodded, appeased by what she said. Carmen came over to her.
"It's nice to meet you Alana, I think," Carmen said smiling at Alana. Elektra grumbled.
Alana looked at her. "Elektra, is something wrong?" she asked hoping she'd got the name right.
Elektra stood up and walked over to her. "Yes there is. Mess with me and you will regret it," Elektra threatened before pushing Alana out her way. Alana stumbled into the cabinet behind her and hurt her ribs.
"Come back here," Alana shouted running after the girl. She caught Elektra on the stairs and grabbed her ankle. Elektra tripped and slid down all the stairs hitting her jaw on each of the steps. Alana's eyes widened in terror at what she'd done.
"Alana!" Oscar and Mike shouted together after seeing what had happened.
Alana turned to face him. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt her," Alana stuttered. Mike looked at her in disgust before walking up to Elektra to check if she was ok. Elektra spat a mouthful of blood out.
"I'm alright. You are dead meat," Elektra said through gritted teeth glaring at the young girl. Alana glanced round. Everyone was staring at her in shock. Scared of what she'd done. Alana turned on her heel and ran up the stairs to her room. Tyler watched her go. He felt sorry for her. Rick elbowed him.
"You like her don't you," he stated. Tyler looked up at the older boy and glared.
