Chapter 13
*Ember*
We sit there on the porch in silence.Just staring out into the yard. It's peaceful, truly peaceful. I don't know how much time passed. I thought about the events that had just passed. Why had he got me away from my dad, why was he helping me now? What game was he playing? I still need to thank him.
"Thank you." I hear my own voice and it sounds so small. I look at him. His eye brows are scrunched together.
"Why are you thanking me?"
"Just for everything, I don't understand why you are going through all this trouble, but thank you."
He doesn't say anything or even relax his face. But he doesn't seem confused anymore, instead it is replaced with something else, an emotion I don't know. It makes me uncomfortable, I look away.
"Ember I-"
His words are cut off wit
