107-Gorilla

Ashley Walters pov

The older man who looked like Marwick except for his grey hair, was standing there in shock. He was not expecting it from me. Even I was not aware that I had that much courage.

The man had coffee droplets on his face and stains on his clothes. Coffee might not be too hot, but it had enough temperature to make his face red.

He wiped his face with his hand and looked down at his palm as if he wanted to confirm if he was dreaming or if I really threw it at him.

"What did you just do?” I heard his menacing voice and was about to throw a punch at his face when someone came close to me and picked me up off the floor like a sack.

"What the hell! Who are you? Put me down?" I screamed at the top of my lungs and started throwing punches at the back of this man who was now carrying me upstairs.

I could feel Sarah coming after me.

"Keith. Instead of taking her to her room bring her to mine,"

"KEITH!" I shouted and pinched his back, "PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS MINUTE, AS*HOLE! WHAT DOES THAT OLD MAN THINK OF HIMSELF!"

"I am sorry, Ashley." I heard a low apology from Keith and then landed on my feet in a room I never saw before.

I flipped my hair back and turned to Sarah haughtily, 'Those were your parents, right?"

Before she could utter anything, I spoke again, "They are no different from you, Sarah. Does bullying runs in your genes?"

"Ashley!" Keith tried to hold me, but I pushed him back.

"No, Keith. You listen to me. That man was throwing insults at me. He was calling me slang words just like his daughter had been doing all this time."

"Hey, Ash! Listen, honey," he made me sit on the edge of the bed and crouched down on the floor, "I know Sarah had been bad to you. But believe me. She has changed a lot."

I didn't hold the glass of iced water that was offered by Sarah, "I don't want water, Sarah. I want peace in my life. Ok?"

I was getting tired of being bullied and acting strong.

I didn't realize that I was crying until Sarah started wiping my face.

"Don't touch me, Sarah." I tilted away my face.

"Now you are overreacting, Ashley." Keith rose to his feet, "she is trying to make everything right for you. Ever since you went to Arguli she was hell- worried for you thinking that you are either kidnapped or lost." Keith walked to Sarah and held her hand,

"She is not that bad, Ashley. Just give her a chance. She has been fighting them for me. Ad she is willing to fight anyone for you." The sniffling of the nose told me that she was also crying.

There was silence in the room now. Until Keith decided to speak again,
