Authors note: the picture above is what Daniel's knife looks like.

-Daniel's POV-
5:00 a.m.
I'm not sure why I woke up so early, maybe it had to do with some of the noise downstairs. I tried to block it out and go back to sleep, but for some reason I couldn't. So, I headed downstairs to see what was going on, but when I got downstairs nobody was awake.
If only I had my weapons with me. Wait, I do have a weapon with me. I totally forgot about it. It was a black tactical Rambo full tang fixed blade knife.
I took out the knife, pulled it out of its sheath and stored it in my pocket. I hid behind a corner and took a glance into the kitchen, but I saw no one. So I decided to go check out everywhere else, but as far as I could tell, no one was up here and so, I headed downstairs to the basement. The moment I reached the bottom was the same moment I heard a gun cock. I gulped.
"Don't you fucking move and lay down any weapons that you have on you."
"I don't have any, but I'll check just to be..."
I grasped my knife tightly and swung it right at the robbers face. Somehow I was lucky that he didn't have his finger on the trigger. I felt his hand grasp my throat and the next thing I knew I was on the cement floor gasping for air but then he used his second hand to apply even more pressure. I tried to reach for my knife but it was out of my reach, so I did the only thing I could do so I wouldn't pass out. So, I remembered exactly what my father taught me about self defense and what to do in this exact  situation. I turned my head to the side and lowered my chin, that way I could breathe and that way there wasn't as much pressure on my windpipe. I tried to reach for my knife one last time, this time I actually managed to touch it, but I was just barely touching it. I didn't bother to bring it closer to me just yet because I was fading away and so I decided to act quick and pulled back on the robbers pinkies, but I made sure that I broke them, which caused him to loosen up on his cokehold. So, to finish my job I started to pound his kidneys as hard as I could. Surprisingly it was enough to get him to stop. I grabbed my knife so he couldn't use it and stopped to catch my breath.
"You fucker."
Once I had managed to regain control of my breathing I lured the robber upstairs and out to the front yard. At least this time I could see somewhat of the robbers face, he looked to be a middle aged white man. I couldn't see his hair but, I could see his eyes. They were green, so I made the assumption that he had black hair, but I could've been wrong.
"You're not going to hurt my family! Now, I'll give you two choices. Leave now or stay and die!"
"You? Kill me? Ha! You couldn't even hurt a fly."
"Wanna bet!"
He looked at me with challenging eyes and I gave him the same look.
"But first. Put your knife away, unless you're chicken."
"I'm no craven."
I took out the sheath and placed my knife inside and placed it down on the ground.
"Kid, you're going to wish that you never got out of bed."
"No I'm not. I'm protecting my family and if I die doing so, then at least I won't be dying in vain."
The robber threw the first punch which hit me on my left cheek and then he did the same thing but he hit my right cheek this time. The moment I saw him trying to land a pinch on my chin, I grabbed his arm mid point, headed behind him and pushed his arm up.
"Are you going to leave me and my family alone?"
"No!"
"Then you leave me no choice."
"Do you really think that you can kill me?"
"I never said I was going to kill you."
I walked up to the robber and when he tried to punch me I just blocked it. I pulled him down to the ground, wrapped my legs around his body and put him into the kimura lock. I made sure that I was pushing his wrist to his head with all of my might.
I could tell that he was in pain and I just continued to push it up towards his head.
"Are you going to leave my family alone?"
He didn't respond, so I just pushed his wrist even closer to his head and I could hear his bone start to crack.
"I said are you going to leave my family alone?"
"Yes. Yes, I'll leave them alone."
Just to be sure I pushed his wrist all the way toward his head which instantly broke his arm. When I stood up I just looked down at him and said, "DON'T EVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN! And if you do, I'm going to do more than just break your arm. I'm going to kill you."
I walked away from him and before I headed inside I picked up my knife and looked at the robber again. I then headed inside and noticed that everyone was awake and they were wondering why I was outside.
"I was just getting some fresh air, that's all."
"Oh, okay. Well, breakfast will be ready in ten minutes."
"Ok. What are you going to make, mom?"
"I'm not cooking breakfast today, your brothers are."
I looked at them and just smiled.
"Do you really think you can top my cooking?"
"We're going to try to. Just don't kill us if it is." Chandler remarked.
"No promises."
Once I was upstairs I went for a quick shower and brushed my teeth. I then headed downstairs and I was just in time to, because breakfast was just being served.
"So, what did you two make?"
"Blueberry, chocolate chip pancakes, some bacon strips and some hash browns." Grayson exclaimed.
"Sounds good."
"You're going to love it. It may be better than yours." Chandler declared.
"I guess we'll see, won't we?"
"Yeah I guess so." Grayson stated.
So, we all took our seats and started to eat. When I took my first bite of the pancakes that were on my plate my eyes widen and then I looked over to my brothers.
"Well? How do you like it?"
"It's ok, it's not the best. It's not my cooking but, it's good anyway."
"So, you're saying that our cooking sucks, aren't you?"
"No, not at all. I was just messing with you two when I said that. It's actually very good."
"Better than yours?"
"Now let's not get carried away, but if I had to rate it from shit to mine...it would definitely rate to be as good as mine."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it."
After we finished eating and before anyone would do anything else I knew that I had to tell them about why I was really outside.
"I have to tell you guys something and it's really important that I tell you."
"What is it Daniel?" Mrs. Riggs asked.
I took a few deep breaths before I answered since I was a little bit nervous and I wanted to rid myself of that.
"Daniel? What is it that you want to tell us?"
"Someone was trying to rob us."
"What?!"
"It's true, he nearly choked me to death and so I broke both of his pinkies. Then I lured him outside and that's where I got punched two more times, but after that I broke his arm. I had to be sure that he didn't come back. Plus, I had to make sure that all of you were safe."
"Thanks."
"Also, I was just making sure that he would never come back."
"Thanks for telling us."
"No problem."
"Tell you what Daniel, since you protected all of us and got rid of the robber, I'm sure that William would agree that we should take away your two day grounding."
"I agree. Thanks Dan."
"You're very welcome."
"Now, go have fun with your brothers."
I just smiled and nodded.
"Come on Daniel, let's go and have fun."
"And where do you propose we do that Chandler?"
"At the park we usually go to."
"Oh, ok. And what are we going to do there?"
"Play grounders, and you're going to show and teach us how you broke our robbers arm."
"Ok, but who's going to be the test dummy?"
"Both of us."
"Ok. Just to warn you guys it's going to be painful."
