I wasn’t sure what time it was when I woke up, but Blaze had sat up with his back against the wall and had pulled me into his lap with his arms protectively around me, and for the first time since this all began, I felt safe.

“Go back to sleep, princess,” I heard Blaze, his voice husky as he tried to whisper.

His hand caressed the top of my head while his other stayed securely around my waist.

I left my head leaning against his chest, “Are you okay?” I questioned, “I probably shouldn’t be sitting on you after what happened.” My head bounced against his chest as he laughed, “I promise you aren’t hurting me.

They didn’t break any bones, but they did a good job roughing me up; I'll give them that much.” I couldn’t believe how he was acting as if it was no big deal.

Who knows what thoughts ran through that man's head.

“I don’t think I can sit and watch them do that again, Blaze,” I told him as I stood up.

I groaned as my tense muscles stretched as I stood.

“You have to; I’m sorry, Kyra,” Blaze spoke so softly I almost didn’t hear him.

“Why are you sorry, Blaze? None of this is your fault.

It’s mine.
