Chapter 28

I sighed as we walked into the house. I smiled as I hugged Cass. "You're grounded." I blinked.

"No, she is not." Dad said.

"Yes, she is."

"No, she is not." Dad said. "Just because you are upset with our daughter's choice of work doesn't mean you can ground her. She is not doing illegal or immoral. I know you are just as protective as I am when it comes to her but I will not let you suffocate her." Dad snarled at him.

"She doesn't ne." He can't finish as I slap the wall making the house shake.

"I love you all but I am not about to let you make me a prisoner!" I Snap at them. "I have plenty of places I can go if you try that. I am not about to let you control my life. I loved being a recon hero. Even with my eyes, I was still able to be recon because of my hearing but no no you took that from me!" I yelled at them. "So you don't get to take my dancing and singing! I fucking hate that you are so over baring! I hate that you try to control me like this! I am not a DOLL!" I wasn't trying to scream but the last word came out really loud.

"Go to your room." Papa said.

"No." I tell him. "No, you're not steamrolling me this time." I snarl at him.

"I am your father and you will listen to me."

"Ohhh that sounds like what Lex told Conner." I spat at him.

That made him supter. "She's not wrong." Conner said

"That's not." He started

"Really because honestly, you're sounding like right now Clark." Dad said. "I love you but you need to back off with this need to protect her from the world. You don't have this with any of our other kids."

"I can't with them since you were so adamant about them learning." Papa hissed.

"I have how many kids before we had the twins and Neal? Oh let's not forget that I was the main father figure for Conner before you got your head out of your ass!" Dad snapped at him.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Papa asked.

"It means that I have more experience with kids. If you keep trying to pull her leash tighter than it already is then you will make her leave. It's not the same as the issue with Jason but it definitely could turn into something close to it minis her trying to kill you." Dad snapped at him.

"Fuck you, Bruse." Papa snarled.

"Oh no I fuck you but the kids don't need to know that." He snorted.

"I really didn't need to know that." Steph said.

"I knew that they were not exactly quiet and soundproofing only works so well." I said with a shrug.

"Well, your hearing is better than anyone here." Conner said.

"Kids go somewhere else while your father and I fight." Dad tells us.

"Come on." Cass said pulling my arm.

"Okay." I said softly. She led me to my room and then with my hands she signed. Tell me what you want to be packed then get a hold of that shadow friend of yours. He's being far too controlling for your health and his.

I took a hold of her hands. I want my notebook it's under my mattress, I want the picture that has all of us and whatever clothes you can pack.

Okay. She let go of my hand and I pulled out my phone and whispered.

"Coraline text the dragon clan group 54865852174853."

"Yes, Miss." She said softly.

I stiffen as my door opens. "Hey, sis." Dami said.

"Dami." I said as a bag was put in my hand.

"Be safe." He said as I felt a shadow cover me.

"Of course." I said as I was swallowed by Zeke's power.

"What happened you know that code is…"

"My Papa was trying to lock me in the house and never let me out." I tell him as he leads me through the darkness.

"HE WHAT!?" He asked me and I winced. "Sorry Miss."

"What I have told you."

"Not to call you that now that I am dating your brother." I smiled at him as we headed through the shadows.

"My Lady, what are you doing here?" Kayla asked as we pulled out of the shadows.

"Did you look at group chat in a minute?" I asked her.

"Are you kidding me? He really tried to take you, prisoner, in your own home?" She asked me.

"Oh, yea he was not happy with what happened." I sighed.

"Kayla?" I hear as someone knocked.

"Come my aunt wants to meet you." She tells me.

"Okay but…"

"You look lovely." She laughs and pulls me with her.

"Aunty!" Kayla said as she opened the door.

"Kayla did you call Zake he… Who is this?"

"This is My Lady Lara Aunty. She was the reason Zeke left in a hurry."

"I apologize but if I did not get out of that house now I am not sure I would have been able to for a week." I said softly.

"What do you mean?" She asked me.

"My Papa is… well overprotective is an understatement." I sighed. "He was going to lock me up in the house because of the show."

"That is a bit much I was at the show it was beautiful." She said.

"Thank you." I said. "Carolina eyes please."

"Eyes?" Her aunt asked as I blinked as the world came into view and I about fell over with the overload.

"WHoa!" Kayla said.

"Fuck they made them almost made them too good now." I said rubbing the tears away from my eyes.

"What do you mean?" She asked me.

"Everything looks like it did before I started damaging my eyes." I tell her.

"Are you okay?" She questioned me.

"I may need something for a headache and a sensory overload in a bit but for now I just need to breathe. This is better than even the mask since I could see nothing was in color."

"Your blind?" Her aunt asked.

"Aunty!" Kayla growled.

"My Love." I said lightly touching her arm. "It's okay I know that question is going to come. And to answer it yes I am blind without the glasses I am now wearing. Sadly though I can not wear them for long or I go into a seniority overload." I tell her.

"Oh, I hate those." She said.

"Indeed." Kayla said. "Lara My Lady this my Aunt Naida."

"Hello, Miss. Naida." I said bowing to her.

She smiled at me when I came upright. "You have learned our ways?" She asked me.

"Yes Madam, while I am sure I will mess up something but I will do my best." I smiled at her.

"Oh, Little one you're coming to a load of costumes that takes us a few hundred years to memories." She smiled at me. "Trying is better than not."

"Thank you." I smiled at her then shook my head. "Coraline turns off eyes." I said as both my eyes and ears started to overload when I heard yelling.

"I go stop the fight." Zeke said as I gripped my head.

"Overload?" She asked me softly.

"Ahuh." I said as I flinched when she touched me.

"What do you need?" Naida asked.

"A dark quiet room where I can cuddle to someone and listen to their heartbeat." I tell her.

"Of course I will leave you two alone." She spoke with a hum.

"Come on baby." Kayla said as she strips me and takes off the bracelets. "Three steps back baby."

I followed her instructions and crawled into bed as I feel the bed drop and she pulls me to her and I bury my head against her neck and listened to her heart. I kissed her neck and tried to relax when I felt her magic against my skin. I stiffened.

"I am blocking out as much sound as I can." She whispers. I took her hand and used it to sign thank you.

"You're welcome." She whispers.

"I love you." I said softly.

"I love you too." She said softly.

I laid there as everything slowly stopped hurting as I listened to her heart. Until I shivered as it was chili.

"Is it okay if I cover you?" She asked me. I winced at her voice too loud. I did not answer out loud and just nodded against her neck. "Sorry." She whispered as she covers me and her up. Her hands slowly move down my back as she nuzzles her face against my head. I am not sure how long we laid there until her phone went off blaring Dora's ringtone.

"Ow ow ow!" I hissed.

"I got this sorry love." She said as she answered it. "Dora I can't really talk the update to the eyes gave her a sensory overload."

"Fuck me." She whines. "I need you guys here we have an issue but I am not about to pull you away from her if she needs you."

"I call you when she falls asleep."

"That works, talk to you then."
