Chapter 8:

After a few months Nourah got used to her new life, and on her 14th birthday her father took her to a fancy restaurant he didn't invite anyone except for Elijah and Elizabeth.

"Happy birthday Nourah" Lizzie said

"This is your first birthday since you came here congrats!" Elijah said

"Thanks!" Nourah said with a beaming smile

"All of your presents are at home you can open them when we return"Eli said with a small smile

"You shouldn't have but thank you" Nourah said

While they where eating Eli saw some suspicious men in the corner, but he didn't overthink it.

After a couple of minutes two men approached the table.

"Can I help you?" Eli said coldly

"YES why don't you go to hell for me!" the man shouted then pulled a gun on Eli's head. Then a few more men came one of them pulled another gun but this time on Elijah head but since their table was at the end of the restaurant no one could see them.

Nourah and Elizabeth where both scared to death but Nourah didn't show it. The only thing Nourah could think of is how to get the guards attention since they were outside Nourah had to think quickly she just needed someone or something to grab the guard's attention with but it would be harder than expected but then Nourah had an idea it could go the way she wants it to go but it could also get them all killed.

"No one move my men are all over the the place so don't even think about escaping or calling your guards, if any of you moved a muscle I will drill a whole in your heads GOT IT!" the man said

"What do you want?!!" Eli said furiously

"MY BROTHER LIFE BACK!!" He shouted

Eli's face flipped with rage but then he saw Nourah's terrified face and took a breath in and looked in front of him with no emotions.

Nourah suddenly stood from her chair took a fork and threw it at him "missed" the man said

"And who said I was going for you" Nourah said with a little smirk on her face.

The man looked around, it turns out she threw the fork at the fire alarm. After a couple of moments the fire alarm goes on and the guards followed the sound of the alarm, and while the men where distracted with the sound Eli took the man's gun from him quickly and shot him in the chest "Say hey to your brother for me" Eli said with a devilish grin

After single moment the guards arrived and began shooting at everyone.

The sounds of gunshots and fitting where everywhere. Nourah and Lizzie where hiding underneath the table then when the sound of gunshots where finally fading Nourah looked up the table there where only four people standing on top of a horde of bodies Eli, Elijah who was leaning on a wall and a man.

Then Nourah heard a sound that she will never forget the sound of a gunshot that went right through Eli's stomach. "FATHER!!" Nourah screamed it was the first time Nourah called him father Eli fell to his knees, and when he was about to kill Eli, Eli closed his eyes waiting for death to do its job Nourah couldn't bare to lose the only family she has left so she got out of the table and ran as fast as she could "NOURAH!" Elizabeth yelled Nourah picked a gun she saw on the floor and fired it at the man. The man fell on the floor dead Nourah didn't realize what she has done but when she finally did, she began boiling her eyes out "I killed him, I- I- I…killed someone…what if he had- had a family…I AM A MONSTER!" She continued crying Eli tried getting up as hard as he can and when he finally managed he went to Nourah and hugged her so tight even though it hurted him "you are not a monster…you are- you are just a kid a kid who didn't want to lose her father so she acted before thinking" he said

Nourah hugged him even tighter she felt the safest she has felt in her whole life.

"I'm so sorry you don't deserve this, I don't deserve you"Eli said

"I love you too" Nourah said wholeheartedly
