Chapter 73 MIRO

The air I needed suddenly turned to me getting on my bike and heading out of the estate. I rode fast and furious, not sure where I was going but just wanting to be free. Images from that day played at the back of my mind, haunting me.

"Can I come with you?" My litle sister of ten had looked up at me with hope in her blue green eyes and a little bit of mischief. "I want to see Theon fight"

"No." Fifteen year old me had told her. "Dad will kill me if he finds out you followed me to watch underground fighting. That place is not for kids,"

Her cute little nose had scrunched up in what she must think was anger. "Tam not a kid." She said, folding her arms across her chest in defiance. "I am a big girl" "Still. Sorry." I said, hoping on my bike. "You can hang out with Dad okay?"

"But I don't want to" She pouted, giving me the cutest, saddest face. "He's boring and he suffocates me."

I stared down at her with a bitter smile. "You really don't know what you're missing out on. You're the only one who gets to enjoy this side of Dad."

But I want to be like you and Theon. Strong and formidable and feared by everyone."

I smiled. "I really wouldn't wish that on you, Nora. Now, I have to go. Stay safe and stay out of trouble. Okay?"

Nora squeezed her face and pouted. "What's the name of the place!" She asked.
