Onyx's POV
"This is the first time in years, I'm seeing him."
I kissed her.
"It's gonna be okay."
"HEY! CUT IT OUT!"
We walked back into the living room. Marionette was throwing stuff at Milo.
"Hey! Stop!"
She picked up a remote. I took it out of her hand.
"Oh no, you don't."
"Oh NOW you stop her?!"
"Was she hurting you?"
"No."
"Then...there isn't a problem."
Marionette threw a pillow at Milo.
"You're seriously letting your daughter throw stuff at me?"
She went to run over to him but, I picked her up.
"Alright princess. Your reign of terror is on pause at the moment."
She started pouting.
"Daddy let me go!"
"Nope."
"But daddy-"
"Don't talk back."
Marionette started pushing me away.
"Let me go!"
"Relax."
"Dude put her in time out or something!"
"You DO NOT wanna tell him, how to discipline her."
"But she's being a brat!"
"Watch what you call her!"
"Why isn't she getting in trouble?!"
"I'd rather, calm her down than, make this situation worse. Marionette. Why were you throwing things?"
"He threw a pillow at me. I wanted to play."
"Did you tell him that?"
She nodded.
"He told me he didn't want to play."
"Did you think, throwing pillows would change his mind?"
"Mhm."
"Oh come on! That's it?! That's how she gets outta trouble?! How are you not mad?!"
"First off...stop yelling. I'm not mad since, it was a misunderstanding."
"But you did nothing while she was kicking me."
"You'd rather get kicked by a 5 year old. Just trust me on that."
Marionette yawned.
"I think, it's time for a nap for you. Is that, what Mal's doing?"
"Yeah. He might be awake now."
"Daddy? I have to say something."
"Okay."
"I saw Paul."
"Huh? Sweetie he can't get you. Did your bad dreams come back?"
She nodded.
"Babe has she seen Sophie lately?"
"Yeah. She saw her a few days ago."
"Where were they?"
"At the park."
Primrose's eyes widened.
"Call Alice."
"I stayed close to mommy after I saw him."
"Prim I'm serious, call Alice."
Primrose ran to get her phone.
"Princess? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was scared."
I sat down on the couch with her.
"Please say something next time. Have you been sleeping well?"
"No."
"Why haven't you told me?"
She shrugged.
"I'll lay in your room tonight okay?"
She nodded.
"Dude...how old at you?"
"19. If you say anything....I'll end you."
"Bro I wasn't gonna say anything."
"Good."
"Onyx?"
I saw Primrose walking over to me.
"Oh no. What's wrong?"
"Alice said Sophie said the same thing. Onyx this is fuckin scaring me."
"Same here."
"Ummm what happened?"
"Her friend's brother stabbed her 26 times."
"Jesus Christ..."
Marionette yawned again.
"Go to your room so, you can take a nap."
"I'm scared. I don't wanna see him."
Fuck!
"Princess...he won't get you."
I stood up.
"No! I don't wanna go!"
I sat back down.
"MJ what's going on? Is there something...you're not telling me?"
She crawled into my lap and curled up into a ball. She pulled my shirt over her head.
What the hell is going on?
"Uhhh. Mari?"
She started shaking.
"What's wrong?"
"He's gonna get me."
I took my shirt off her head.
"He won't. We'll stay inside for a while okay?"
