Chapter 0011

I am not threatening , I kept saying in my mind .

I am a friend .

Shadow sniffed my fingers , and I lowered my hand to the ground .

Then , to everyones surprise , Shadow licked my fingertips and trotted the rest of the way over to me , allowing me to pet him .

I smiled as my fingers ran through his soft fur and he panted excitedly as his tail thumped on the ground , nearly knocking me over as the ground shook under his weight .

H… how did you do that ? Matt asked , shocked .

Shadow doesnt like strangers .

I shrugged casually .

Ive always been good with animals , I confessed .

When was young , I used to have a dog as well .

Her name was Caramel because she was the color of Caramel .

Matt snickered at the name , and I smiled .

Shadow rubbed himself all over me before returning to Matts side .

My parents got her for me because they were never home .

Caramel kept me company , I finished explaining .

Something flashed in Matts eyes as he fixated his attention on his dog .

It almost looked like sadness .

My dad is never home , he murmured .

So , Shadow keeps me company .

He protects me from bad and conniving people .

Thats why he bit the last tutor .

She was conniving and only agreed to tutor me so she could get close to my father I raised my brows .

How could a woman do such a thing ? I felt sick at the very thought that she was using this little boy only for his father .

Who was his father to this woman ? How about I bring Shadow back inside so you can finish getting to know one another , Adam suggested as he walked towards the dog who only growled at him .

Matt smirked .

Careful Adam ; or you might end up dog food , Matt warned .

Adam mumbled something under his breath that I didnt quite get but he managed to get Shadow and bring him into the villa while I stayed behind with Matt .

Matt stared at me ; his arms folded across his chest as he examined me .

You have good reflexes and aim , he murmured .

But that doesnt mean you are strong or smart .

Well , if its my brain you are worried about , I am top of my class in all my subjects .

I graduated high school with high honors and Im currently a college student , I told him .

I felt a little silly felling all this to a 7 year old .

But I could tell he was mature for his age , and he was having trouble trusting my capabilities .

As for my strength , as 1 said , Im training to be a Gamma warrior .

How can I prove my strength to you ? He smirked ; giving me a look I was starting to grow accustomed fo .

I knew that meant he was up I stepped backward , narrowing my eyes .

Lets play a game , he finally said , surprising me .

Okay , what kind of game ? Escape .

Ever play it ? up to something .

Chapter 0011 Escape was a game where the opponent tries to escape the other persons hold .

Ive only played it with others around my age , never ones much younger than me .

This should certainly be interesting .

Would you wish to escape from me ? I asked him .

He nodded .

I might be 7 , but Im very strong , he said , putting his hands on his hips .

I smiled .

I dont doubt that , I told him .

Okay , lets give it a shot .

Before he was even ready , I already had him tackled to the ground .

I must say, he did put up a pretty fair fight .

I could tell hes done some training , and it made me wonder why he trained so hard at a young age .noveldrama

It took me a minute to get my bearings and get control of the situation , but I eventually had him pinned and he couldnt move .

He struggled against me , and I just smiled as he attempted to get out of my hold .

I thought you were stronger than that ? I teased .

His cheeks grew pink from embarrassment , and I laughed wholeheartedly .

If become your tutor , we can work on this , I assured him .

As he attempted to escape from me , I heard some footsteps from nearby and I assumed Adam was returning .

But then I heard another set of footsteps ; Matt must have heard them as well because he froze and looked in the direction of the sound .

I watched as his face lit up in delight ; a look I had yet to see from him .

Dad !! He yelled excitedly .

I looked in the same direction and my entire heart fell deep into my stomach .

His father , the man of the house , was none other than Gavin Landry .
