Chapter Nine

With Mattie, I looked everywhere until we got to the common area as Mattie told me. He was hiding behind me when he saw a tall, red-haired boy with a broom. "Mattew, didn't Lord William tell you not to disturb the new family members around the house?" seeing how stern he was with Mattie, I decided to walk up to him and define Mattie. He was shivering by the look of it. But I still wanted to define Mattie and I felt like this as a good idea at the time. Then I saw a door opens to the left of the door, " Cole, why do I hear you arguing with that sweet little boy. He didn't do anything to you did he?" it was Mom, she looked up at me with a tiny smile then waved me to come to see her. So I did as she wished but I still had Mattie holding on to me because Cole was staring violently at him. So I whispered in his ear, " Hold on to Aunty okay?" He nodded so I looked at him and he shivered, every step towards him caused him to take a step back. " What are you staring at Mister? I do hope you were not visibly harassing my little cousin over there? Now were we?" Cole ended up falling on his butt and I was standing on top of him by the end of it. Looked back at my Mom and she was paying attention to Mattew, so it was a free game by the looks of it. I took a step back and turned, within seconds I turned back around but in the movement of kicking him in the head but something ended up stopping me centimeters away from my target. It was an arrow stabbed into the wall next to us but just under my leg and above his face only causing it to scratch his nose. But who was it? So I looked.
