Sold To Knight

Yawning I walked up to my house and let myself in. Turning I ran into my dad who looked scared and worried. Two combos not good together. "sweetheart I'm sorry",he said confusing me. I looked at him and I mean really looked at him. He was sweating through his shirt and shaking. "dad what did you do?",I said looking at him. He kept looking behind him and soon I found out why. Our neighbor from a block over Dallas Knight was standing there with a glare on his face. I shrank back from his tall form and looked to my dad with worry. "dad", I said looking at him. "look honey I had no choice he was gonna take everything so I did what I had to plus your eighteen so you are of age",he ranted. "what did you do dad",I said glaring at him. Dallas chuckled darkly drawing my attention back to him. "your wonderful dad sold you to me sweetheart",he said sarcastically. I flinched at his tone and looked at my dad wide eyed and fearful. "is it true dad please tell me it isn't true. How could you do this?!!!" "shut up you worthless b***h I owed alot of money and your still in school at least I waited till you were eighteen",he said showing his anger. I moved to the door and leaned back against it this couldn't be happening. "you seriously sold me to him without my consent your sick dad real sick", I said moving near him. He growled before back handing me and knocking me to the floor. He kicked my ribs before he was tossed away. Kansas stood heaving while Dallas watched my dad. I stumbled to my feet wiping my mouth which was bleeding. "go pack all your s**t and make it quick your coming with us today. Don't make me angry Tara or I swear you won't like what I do",he said watching me. Moving on my shaky legs I stepped around him and ran upstairs. Tears filled my eyes as I packed all my clothes. Pulling out my duffle bag I loaded all my money I've been saving since I was twelve so it was alot. I hid it from everyone even my dad. Wiping my face I zipped up my bag and turned running into Dallas. He smirked down at me while his gaze went from my face down my body. He smirked. "almost done sweetheart",he said moving closer to me. I shrank back cause he was tall,tattooed and the meanest man I ever met. "almost",I said wiping my lip which was still bleeding. He watched my action before advancing on me. I stood still while he towered over me. When his hand came up I flinched thinking he was gonna hit me to. "relax your still bleeding",he said wiping my lip. I flinched again cause it hurt. My eyes were filled with tears when Kansas cleared his throat. "we need to go Dakota just called and said they got home but stuff was missing". Dallas nodded and glared at me before picking up my suitcase. I loaded more with pictures and all my girly s**t before looking around sadly. This was it this is my last time being in the house I grew up in. Kansas stood watching me as I wiped my tears before grabbing my laptop and iPod. I shut off my light and followed them out holding my duffle bag tight. "Tara I'm sorry baby I never meant to hit you",my dad uttered as soon as he seen me. I ignored him and kept walking. "bye father",I mumbled walking out the door behind Dallas. My stuff was loaded in the truck and I was lifted in by Kansas. I looked out the window as we drove off to their house a block over. Tears ran as I kept my face turned to look outside. My dad the man that always swore to protect me sold me to a gang member, hit and then kicked me. My ribs hurt but I couldn't act hurt these guys were to mean to show weakness. "so Tara are your still in school?", Kansas asked looking at me. "yes I got two months left",I said trying to stay calm. "well we need you to clean our house, cook and do laundry so don't think this is time to slack off",Dallas said glaring through the rearview mirror. "I understand",I said not looking at them. I stopped crying but my ribs was hurting something fierce. I whimpered as I pulled up my shirt and saw a big bruise on my side. Not paying attention I touched it and cried out in pain. This s**t hurt. "holy f**k Dallas stop the truck",Kansas said startling me. He saw my ribs and reached to touch them. "hold still Tara",he murmured touching it gently but not gently enough. "Ouch!!..that hurts",I gritted out. He pulled away and looked at me concerned. "they are broke Tara and need wrapped when we get home I will have Dakota check them",he said looking at me. I nodded as more pain hit and I leaned back uncomfortable. Looking up Dallas was staring at me with an unreadable look and his usual glare. I looked away and took in a short breath cause breathing heavier hurt. Dallas put the truck in gear and drove on. I whimpered as more pain snaked in and I cussed my dad mentally. Pulling up to his house he came over and lifted me out. "easy Tara",he said softly to me. My bags were carried in as Dallas helped me walk. When he touched my side I whimpered in pain and moved or tried to. "f**k this",he said picking me up bridal style and walked inside. I felt so embarrassed as the others watched us. Sitting me on the couch he moved away quick. "Dakota check her ribs and order us food I'm starving",he ordered. Dakota knelt by me and I lifted my shirt. In the light you could really see the bruise and it was huge. I winced when he pushed on it. "easy honey I'm just checking it",he said pushing again getting another wince. This s**t really hurt. "its broke Dallas it should heal as long as she is careful for a month",he said moving my face to check my jaw and lip out. I flinched when he touched me but stayed sitting. Moving away he spoke to Dallas while they all stared at me. An uneasy feeling filled me as Dallas looked at me smiling. This couldn't be good.
