Sold To Knight

Chapter 2

The staring was starting to unnerve me but Dallas smiling freaked me out."I'll show you to your room",he said helping me up and pulling me behind him. My bedroom was on the first floor beside the kitchen. I had my own bathroom and a huge bed was against the wall beside a huge walk-in closet. Dallas sat me down and stared at me more.

"I got pain pills coming to help you function and get through everything. You are still to clean, cook and do our laundry which there is alot cause our last housekeeper quit. No one here will hurt you so you can relax. Food will be here in thirty minutes so unpack and stash your duffle bag of money somewhere",he said walking and shutting my bedroom door.

How did he know s**t now they are gonna take it from me. I got up wincing and did as he said. I unpacked and set up my bathroom the way I always wanted. I sat my laptop and iPod on my bed and charged my cell phone. After folding my stuff I closed the dresser and sat back down. My whole body hurt and I had to figure out how to hide the bruises on my face from everyone at school.

Sighing I booted up my laptop and went on f*******: till a knock made me jump. Dallas opened the door and came in.

"food is here Tara. We all want to talk to you so come on",he said pulling me up. I couldn't hold in a whimper of pain as he stood me up. He looked down at me before lifting my shirt.

"f**k that looks worse then earlier".

"my whole side hurts", I said softly as he touched it. Of course I flinched and hissed in pain making him pull back as if burned.

"lets go eat I got your pain pills to take it should help. He took my wrist and pulled me along. Like a dog I followed. Kansas and Dakota smiled at me flashing dimples and I almost tripped from shock.

These guys could be models with their looks. Dallas sat me beside Kansas and took a paper plate and filled it with food.

"eat Tara",he said making me jump. I picked up a fork and picked at my food but taking bites here and there.

"so sweetheart your eighteen",Dakota said looking st me.

I nodded still chewing my food."turned eighteen two months ago",I mumbled between eating till I felt sick. I felt sweaty and I started shaking. This couldn't be good.

"we bought you cause your dad ran up a huge tab from gambling. He figured selling you would clear it but he is still doing it. We cut him off and he went to the Orion's which  were gonna buy you just to rape then kill you",Dallas said eating. I wiped at my forehead which was still sweating and looked at my food in disgust.

"Tara, Kansas said making me jump, you okay sweetheart you look ready to pass out",he said looking at Dallas with worry.

"I'm fine", I mumbled but I could feel that something wasn't right. The pain intensified and dots danced before my eyes. I stood up and moved to take my plate when the black dots got worse. Before I could warn them I could feel myself falling and yells.

Blackness took over and I was gone.

"f**k Tara!!",I yelled quickly catching her. Blood was coming from her mouth and fear filled us as we ran to the truck. Dallas took her and threw his keys to Dakota.

"f*****g hospital now!!",he yelled.

We sat with her trying to wake her but got nothing. "bro you think internal bleeding",I said looking at the little beauty in my brother's arms.

"probably he did kick her f*****g hard before you tossed him away. Maybe a rib pierced something",he said looking down at her. I looked at my brother and he touched her face gently before pulling her closer.

I know that look he was in love with this girl. We all knew Tara she use to babysit the little girl that lived beside us. She was gonna be an awesome mom someday well if she survived this and us.

Once at the hospital we reluctantly let nurses take her after explaining we saw a guy hit her and kick her ribs. She was wheeled away and we were shown to a waiting room. Hours later a doctor walked in and called for family for our Tara.

Dallas jumped up and we followed."your girl has internal bleeding which we fixed and I had to set her ribs. Her jaw is also fractured but not severe enough to cause pain. She needs a month of bedrest which will heal her ribs. I wrote prescriptions for pain pills and muscle relaxers which will help her sleep. If you have no questions I can show you to her room now",he said standing. We all got up and followed him to her room. Coming in a steady beeping filled our ears as we all took seats by her bed. Dallas pulled his chair closer to her bed and watched her face.

"that fucker is lucky I didn't kill him for hurting her like this",he said taking her cold hand. I watched our brother kiss each fingertip before linking their hands together. Dakota looked at me in shock and all I could do was shrug and smile.

We sat talking till Tara woke with a low moan."what happened?",she said in a raspy voice.

"you passed out sweetheart from internal bleeding. We rushed you to the hospital and they operated on you",I said drawing her hazel eyes my way.

Dallas gave her drinks and hit a button to sit the bed up more. She looked around and sighed. We got prescriptions to fill and also breaking the bad news she had to have a month of bedrest to go on.

"the doctor ordered bedrest and pills for you to take. I could get all your work from school for you",Dakota murmured as her eyes went wide.

"I have to miss school I haven't missed any days ever",she said looking ready to cry.

"not up for debate sweetheart you will do what the doctor and I say", Dallas said making her look at him. All she did was nod and sigh sadly.
