Chapter 246
I have no issues with walking out and letting Calix speak to Daisy. He‘ s better at things like that than we are. Although she seemed to go to D more for comfort than us. Calix is convinced that is because D doesn’t seem to find much shocking or repulsive. Maybe he is right and she is worried that we would judge her? I could never judge her based on what she had no control over. Hell, she fought back while tied up, that takes a lot. I hope he gets through to her though, she is acting like everything is nothing, but she’s wrong.
“Do you think she will be okay?” I turn and look at D.
“She fought like hell to survive her whole life, this will be something else she gets through. Difference is D, she isn’t alone now, she has us three. That’s better than before when she was alone with her own
demons.” She’s amazing.
“Sleep then I guess. We all need sleep, we’re going there tomorrow. I know Cal said he would speak to her about her involvement, so we will see what she decided tomorrow.” He stands up, and I don’t argue. He’s right, we could all do with sleep, it’s been over forty–eight hours, it isn’t long but when you’re literally fighting and taking down people it is. D got a small break while me and Cal went through Wolverson and Solace city collecting the stragglers.
I finish my drink and walk to bed, climbing into it, I listen to the silence, not long after I hear the office door and her walking past my
Chapter 346
room. Getting out of bed I walk to her room, trying the door it is locked. I’m guessing she wants space, we should respect that So instead of asking her to open the door I walk to the office and see Cal.
“How was she then?” I sit and look at his back as he works.
“In a dream world. It’s the first time with Richard in that sort of setting she didn’t black out and block everything. I expected it to impact her but she’s acting like it was nothing again. Anyway, shes coming tomorrow, Dean and Richard she wants to be there and take part, as for the others she will be there but undecided if she will do anything.”
He speaks with his back staying to me.
“Cal, you should get some sleep.” He barely got any the past week.
“I am just sorting out the guards then I will.”
“What’s going on Cal? You’re acting distant.” I haven’t seen him like
this since our mother was murdered.
“I’m tired Marc, leave it please and fuck off to bed.” His words are harsh but I give in and nod. Standing I walk to the door and stop.
“She’s fine Cal, she survived through so much alone, she will get through this with us.” He doesn’t answer so I leave, climbing into bed I fall asleep. All we have to do now is clear up the mess, then get settled. into a routine or as close to one as possible.
Chapter 246
Waking I smile, getting myself ready I feel happier, we got Daisy back. I can’t wait for today to be over, then I will just spend as much time as I can with Daisy, she deserves spoiling and to be showered in love.
I go through to the kitchen and cook, not long after D comes through and he looks just as cheery as me. I laugh at him, and he glares at me.
“D. she needs to recover, so fighting lessons right now won’t be good.” He looks ready to play, he has on a protective vest with daggers strapped to his waist.
“I figured today before we leave I would show her how to get a weapon off me and use it.” He grins and I roll my eyes. “The vest is only for this time, normally I wouldn’t care but this week I will keep knife play off the table.” He skips past me and sits on the counter. It’s weird seeing him so happy, but I’m glad, I haven’t seen him like this since we were kids.
“You good?” He looks at me and I nod.
“Fine D. Go wake grumpy ass up. That way I’m away from him when he complains and throws things for us waking him.” We both laugh and I watch as he picks up pans.
“I’ll play him some music.”
“D, that’s asking for him to stab you.” Fuck banging pans together to
wake Cal.

“Good job I’m geared up then.” He practically skips out the kitchen laughing. I moment later I hear the pans bang together and Calix screaming at him. Standing I laugh as I hear the thud and a moment later D comes running through with blood running from his nose.
“What did I say?” I look at him amused.
“He didn’t stab me! He threw a fucking book at my face.” He sits down looking far more happier than before.
“Okay, get food on the table please. We will talk before waking Daisy, that’s if she isn’t awake with your version of music.” He laughs at my words but carries the plates through. I finish the last few bits of food. before carrying them out and putting them down in the middle of the table.
D is on his phone, while holding a cloth against his nose. Calix hitting him didn’t seem to damper her mood at all. If anything it just made him. more hyper, he’s practically bouncing in his seat.
“D.” I watch as he looks at me. “Go slow today, you might but a burst of energy right now but we’re still feeling like shit.” The last thing we need is his crazy ass causing drama even if it is easy to solve.
“Sure, sure. I will behave.” The way he says that is like he’s lying and. already has a plan to create shit.
