C4

I woke up with a sharp pain in my head.

Somebody was talking in the background but I couldn't understand what the person was saying.

My head felt like they compressed lead into my brain, it felt heavy.

I raised my head and turned it to the right.

The person excused himself and walked over to where I was, I didn't even know where I was.

"Water?"

I nodded then winced.

A glass of water was passed to me and I gulped it down relinquishing in the taste of nature.

I blinked several times and shut my eyes to clear my vision.

Slowly an image formed, I jumped back and banged my head against the headboard then winced again.

Troy sat at the edge of the bed looking at me worriedly.

I eyed him, not saying a word.

"What?"

I remained silent, the carefulness in my eyes never leaving.

"Where's your "stepbrother"?"

Troy grimaced.

Someone entered the door and Troy's eyes widened.

"Go out Khloe"

"No, I want to see that woman" she shrilled in her baby voice.

"Jason would have my head on a plate if I allowed you in here"

"Ohh, it's true. Jason sent me here to call you"

"Really?" He eyed her suspiciously.

"Yes" she crossed her fingers in front of her face.

"I'm going to stay here and watch her until you come back"

"Don't move a muscle, okay?"

"Sure" she smiled.

She sat on the chair and watched me with interest and utmost fascination.

As soon as the door was closed, she jumped down from the chair and inched closer to me.

She stood beside the bed and watched me innocently, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Can I..can I stay right next to you?"

Her green eyes almost made me melt on the spot.

‘How can that demon have such a sweet sister?’

"Sure" I nodded.

The girl broke into a grin and tried to get on the king sized bed.

I watched her struggle for a few minutes, chuckling a bit before helping her up.

"You know, you're the first woman to enter my brother's house"

"Your Dem... I mean your kuku in the head brother"

"I don't know what kuku means but yes"

I chuckled.

The girl inched closer shyly until she was resting her head on my stomach.

"How old are you anyway?"

"I'm seven"

"How old is your brother?"

"Twenty three"

"And how is that possible?"

"I don't know" she twirled my hair around her tiny wrists.

"You made an honor code to Troy saying you weren't lying about your brother sending for him. Anything you want to make clear to me?"

"Yes. I double crossed my fingers, so I was lying. Jay-Jay didn't send for Troy"

I burst out laughing at the girls coyness.

I sat up and stroked her honey blonde hair loving.

"You and your brother have different hair colour"

"I took my mother's hair colour, Jay-Jay and Troy took my Dad's"

"We are going to be in trouble if your brother finds out. Aren't you scared of your brother"

"No. Jay-Jay isn't as scary as people say and besides he isn't home now..."

The door was flung open and Jason stormed in, his face a murderous fury.

The Vipers stormed in after him, gun corked and loaded.

"Let go of my sister" he hissed.

"And what if I say no?" I teased circling my hands around Khloe.

"You...if you hurt a hair on her head, I'll destroy everyone you care about" I grinned ear to ear like a Cheshire cat.

"Jay-Jay, you misunderstood. I came here to seek company. She didn't hurt me" she grabbed my hand and wrapped it tightly around her body while the other stroked her hair.

"Come, let me hold you"

"No. I want to stay here" she pouted adorably.

I chortled at Jason's downcast face, his eyes chilled as they located mine.

"Well someone can't stand the heat, what with all the ice" I taunted.

"Get her out of my sight" he growled.

Two men gripped me.

"No stop, let her go. Jay-Jay" Khloe cried.

"Stop" Jason commanded harshly and the air went deathly still.

He walked up to the bed and patted his sister's head.

"Little Red, is everything alright? Are you hurt? Who touched you? Tell Big Bad Wolf"

"Those men are trying to hurt my friend"

"Actually, it's your brother..."

Jason put a palm over my mouth, silencing me.

I sniggered then got naughty thoughts.

"Big Bad Wolf is sorry, he won't allow Red's friend to get hurt again"

I fought back my naughty smile.

Jason felt like he was dealing with a she-devil when he saw Selene's eyes fill with mirth.

I tapped his hand that was covering my mouth.

He twitched.

"What do you want?"

"Nghh. Remofe yvvur hansss fvrom my mousse"

"I'm sorry, I don't speak Nghh language"

Instead of backing down, I grinned.

I traced my tongue around Jason's palm, I felt Jason shudder but he kept his palm over my mouth.

I forced my tongue into the creeks of his palm.

Jason clenched his jaw and looked away, I bit his pads and sucked gently.

Jason withdrew his hands like someone who had been burnt, swearing lowly under his breath.

He stretched his hand and Troy handed him a clean napkin.

My Cheshire grin was back in full swing.

"Little Doe, your brother is forcing me to do something I don't want to do. Please help me"

"Doe? It's Red and little Red, she agreed to help Big Bad Wolf now she wants to go back on her word"

"Obviously Mockingjay, you have naming issues and little Doe, Selene never agreed to help BBW"

"Who is Mockingjay?" Khloe asked confused.

"Him" I elbowed Jason in the ribs making Jason shoot daggers at the back of my head.

"Mockingjay...I like it. I'll call it to Jason from now on" Khloe giggled.

Jason paled.

"I think Mockingjay still wants to be called BBW. What does little Red think" Jason grasped his sister's hand.

"I'm no longer little Red but little Doe. You'll call me little Doe" she thrust her chin up stubbornly.

"Fine. My little Doe"

I snickered as Jason glared at me.

"Get her ready, we're leaving soon"

"I don't want to go. Little Doe save me"

Khloe put her hands around my neck.

"Don't worry, little Sheep, I'll save you from BBW"

Jason eyebrow twitched.

A little girl screamed and ran into the room, she stared at me before she flung herself on me sobbing.

"What's she doing in here?" Jason growled.

"We're sorry Boss. Sandra suddenly reacted"

"I don't want to go" the little girl sobbed.

"Don't worry, you won't go anywhere" I patted her back as she hiccuped.

She looked up with tearstained eyes and her lips quivering.

"Really?"

"Yes...kinda"

"You'll protect me like Daddy won't you?"

"Err, yes. I won't let Mockingjay touch you again. Okay?"

The girl nodded.

Jason looked at his diamond wristwatch and snapped his fingers.

"We have to get you ready. It's almost time to go"

"I don't want to go" I grumbled.

"Are you also going for that event?" Khloe bounced up and excitedly.

"What event?"

"It's someone's birthday. Cordelmo or was it Cordellia?"

"Cordero"

"Yes that"

"Then why are so excited"

"I'm finally going out to somewhere" I stared at the little girl that had been deprived of her youthful movement with love.

Khloe blushed red and looked away shyly.

I stretched my hand and grabbed the glass of water beside my bed.

"I think Jay-Jay should take Little sheep as his date to the event"

I choked on my water and started coughing.

"Little sheep are you alright?"

"Yes, the glass tried to drown me with the water inside"

"What do you think Jay-Jay?"

"Jay-Jay thinks Vixen doesn't like me, so Jay-Jay disagrees"

Khloe sniffed dramatically and gave Jason watery eyes.

Jason nodded quickly.

"Yes. Jay-Jay will take Shrimpy Vixen to the event"

I burst out laughing still choking on the water that went down the wrong way.

"Are you choking or laughing Shrimp?" Jason tsked annoyed.

"Can't someone choke on her own laughter?" I replied smugly and watched with great self-satisfaction as Jason's eyebrow twitched violently.

"Let's go. Take five minutes, if you're not done by five minutes, I'll..."

"What? You'll come drag me from the bathroom or you're going to leave without me. Did you forget you need me, you little ninny"

This time Jason's pinky twitched, his look was reading "Ill strangle you soon".

He spun and quickly exited the room before he gave into his murderous thoughts, my booming laughter bounced around the house irking Jason.
