Beth's In Trouble

That was not the girl I know, even with the evidence I wouldn't have conceal to the accuse.

In a blink of an eye I was out of the so hidden house , which was as it name presented. Miles away with only it as it's friend in the mist of giant tresses that left it buried in lost land.

I didn't know why but a gut in me felt deep in Peter's words, I was certain he was gonna say something valid but I couldn't just stay to listen while my sister was in trouble. I needed to be at her school and know what the hell was happening.

“ The head mistress called, she claim to have found stolen item in her bag and when confronted by the owner she hit her and the parents called the cops” Violet told with a hook of the head mistress on feet with the cops and a man and woman whom I presumed were the parents as the woman hands were wrapped on a girl not more grown than Beth.

On one of the pillars she seeked support with her legs storm on the other, I watched my introvert sister in mask of someone different. Her jitterd fingers were still with harden face, the innocence in her eyes were lost for fierce.

“Beth” my arms wrapped on her body that showed no moment. Her face laid lines of red, her body flinced with groaned as my finger came in contact to her skin. “Are you alright?“ I caressed the sore area on her face. “Huh, tell me how did this happen ?“

“Oh please, she's fine. The one who isn't is my baby doll” I faced the woman , her fingers cupped her daughter's chin. “ Your dirt of a sister raised her flity hands on my precious baby doll” her shallow hands were fixed on her waist with feet front to my side. The nerves of her, if it fight she wanted then I was more than willing to hand it to her.

“ Um, excuse me. My sister isn't a dirt or trash so you better be mindful of your words or you might just not like what I would do”

“And what would you do?, hit me like she did to my daughter”

I might just have

“ Alice Mrs Bay meant no harm, her daughter was hit by your sister” the head mistress said, folding a judgement look on my sister. “As far as I know my sister doesn't do anything without a reason, am sure her precious baby doll most have done something “ I said inheriting her tone of saying 'precious baby doll '.

“Are you accusing my daughter of being at wrong?“ her tone slipped from the cute polite type to revoke monster.

“ Your sister stole her daughter's bracelet which is very costy” the head mistress said folding her gaze on Beth, my hand found her finger that was bleeding. “How did you get this wound?“ I chased for a hand clean from my bag then band it on the finger.

“ Huh” the woman scoffed “how do you think she got it, my daughter obviously bit her when she hit her. It all in self defense “ the nerves of her

“ I mean it isn't a surprise like father like daughter “ the next I knew my fingers were greeting her jaw that looked like a wooden slippers.

“ How dare you?“ she flushed her eyes out, stroking her fingers on the jae that was in tomatoe color. “ Do you know who I am?“

“ I don't care who you are, but no one speaks I'll about my father or sister. If she says she didn't steal it then it wasn't her.“

“ You mess with the wrong person. Inspector arrest her sister for the theft of my daughter's bracelet” she commanded.

Before a hand of his could laid on Beth I threw it out, fencing a wall between the so call inspector and his two minions behind.

“No one lays a finger on her, not even you're the so law officers. What evidence do you have to prove she stole the bracelet?“ I questioned , determined in my stance to head on with anyone that dared take my sister away. I lost the battle of rescuing my dad's image at the earlier stage but I wasn't gonna let the same happen to Beth.

“ The bracelet was found in her bag after a search was done”

And they thought I would fold my mind to a conclusion of their story. The woman's hands were then tangled on her chest as she pulled a high stand in my face, like ' I told you so '.

Well hell no, Beth wasn't the type that seeked pleasure in fancy stuffs, most of her jewelries that were both hand made snd customize for her were rejected or left untouched in her jewelry section.

“ I believe only what she says. Anyone could have place the stolen bracelet in her bag to frame her”

“Yeah right, like others have nothing to do but frame a cheap stock like her” the little girl finally spoke, quite in copy of her mom. Her eyes rolls soon broke with glance of Beth's fisted knuckles. I watched the girl squeezed sheild behind her mother.

“Inspector you've seen everything, arrest her. She's a threat to my daughter and every other innocent student that's attending this school. Lock her up, kids like her shouldn't interact with our precious kids”.

The next I knew I lost a grip of a stand on my heels from the fight of pulling the inspector's hands from Beth's. His hands went shoving me out of his way.

The body weight which I was sure was heading for the solid ground took suspense. My locked eyes lit to gaze at the puriest beauty ever. His ocean eyes which I dared not stare into was mine to feed on, bright and deep I stared every second of breath in them.

His firm grasped on my waist let loose, with a steady sit of my legs on the ground.

“Are you alright?“ he asked staring at my baffled head that went north, south,east and west. Honestly I wasn't sure how I was feeling at that moment. How did he got to the school and why?. And most how was he so on time to save me from the fall?.

“ How dare you lay a finger on my wife?!“ his voiced husked out, taking every nerve in the poor inspector's body. “ Do you know this could land you a loss of job” he threaten snapping the guy to widened his giant eyes.

“Mr Stone, I'd no idea she is your wife “ I was on his side seconds before he spat those words out. My eyes went sore from the hard rolls I sent his way, what did he mean?. Was he only sorry for almost broking my feet just cause I was his wife, and him…I turned a hard gaze on Dave, well it went melting the second it fell on him.

It felt great to have someone beside my father standing in my defense, fir the first I felt a bit of me willing to acknowledge him as my husband.

“ Hey mister who are you to interfere in this case” mother precious baby doll spat in earning a shut up look from Dave.

“You know he's quite masculine” Violet got me by with her whisper, I trolled my eyes at her.

“ He could be your Mr right” she furthered in while lashes splashed at her,yet a spark was building within my stomach. 'Hell no' I screamed with in .

“ Mr Stone, I apologize for offending you but your wife's sister was caught with a stolen bracelet”

“And that gavr you the rights to bully my wife and her family. She's just a minor and you call cops on her ?. You have security cameras everywhere why didn't you check them to confirm who really stole it” he said earning enough of my respect.

The mistress dared not protest further, as it stood he was a big financial sponsor to the school. If only I'd known that earlier I would have used his name to get my sister off the trouble but again my pride wouldn't let me.

“That didn't cross my thoughts” of course it wouldn't, she was so busy on proving my sister guilty of the theft.

“ Footage, why do you need to check the cameras to prove that she stole it?. I mean the bracelet was found in her bag” precious doll said ,stroking her mom's hand.

“Honey don't worry,once the footage is watched it will be prove enough to have her behind bars” there she went with another name, irgnoring her daughter's eye signs or jittering fingers. She took dull steps behind us while stalking for the security room.

The video wasn't needed to confirm my doubt in her as the culprit, from her shaky voice and jittered fingers I figured she was her own bracelet thief but it was much fun watching her mom's face fall to pale , on viewing her daughter put the bracelet in Beth's bag.

“ There you culprit is found, turns out your daughter is the thief. Must be home learnt, I mean it must be a talent learnt from her mom or dad “ Violet taunted, getting enough of the woman's fallen gaze. Her hands slowly shifted to her sides while he throat forced a gulp.

I watched her shift her legs to one side, as much I would have loved to rubbed it in her face, I was hesitant only because I saw a mother's trust being broken, a mother whos love was taken for a ride.

“I'm really sorry about everything Mrs stone, I would be sure to lecture her on her behavior “

“ Lecture, sorry but am not please with just lecture. She must be punish or most should be sent to jail as her mother intended to do to my sister” violet protested against the head mistress biase verdict. I didn't expect her to be taken to the station bit she should have being punished by the school authority.

“She'll be punish but I think this should be settle within the school”

Violet tilted her head on the mistress words, her voiced scoffed in as she stiffed her hands on her front. “ Why didn't you say the same in Beth's case, you could have easily settled it in school but no you had the cops on her but now it proven that she's innocent you want the police out if the case?. Is it because you see her as a criminal daughter?“

The head mistress set her lips for silence, her fingers hooked on one another. I combed in with soothed words to Violet to let it go. What I wanted was her to be out of trouble and gladly the evidence presented itself.

“I hate you , you should know that” the girl said taking our legs on halt.

“This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't stole him from me in the first place. He used to love me but then you had to come in…am far better than you in every aspect then why did he had to choose you?. I just wanted to teach you a lesson and show him what a low life you're “

'Oh, young generation' Violet muttered.

“You're nothing but a garb…” her words cut in with a slam of her mother's hand on her face. Her eyes took toll on sight of her mother widened flame eyes.

“ Can you walk on it?“ he asked watching me leap on my toes, the ankle was strain and each step was like an inject in my body or spine being shoved under the feet .

“Yes” I lied dragging the feet to my will, trust I regretted the second I forced it and the heels weren't helping either.

“Ouch..“ I groaned, my finger ran through the sore ankle.

“Why is it women says the opposite of everything” he complained hooking me off the ground.

“I said am okay” I yelled feeling discomfort in his arms

“And I heard you”

Yet I was in his arms like a baby what more he made it looked like I weighed nothing more than a piece of paper. With his order, the car door was opened, in he sat me with levelled of my dress down the knee.

" You could have gotten hurt. Why didn't you take Bullet along, he could have handled the situation well than you" again came his scolds, but that time they didn't spiked the heart to max nor got it racing the chest. It was calm and delight to hear every word he had to scold.

"Next time you plan on causing trouble tell me ahead of time or take me along. I don't want you to get hurt".

There, that was the moment I lost my heart to him.
