Then , to everyones surprise , Shadow licked my fingertips and trotted the rest of the way over to me , allowing me to pet him . I smiled as my fingers ran through his soft fur and he panted excitedly as his tail thumped on the ground , nearly knocking me over as the ground shook under his weight . H… how did you do that ? Matt asked , shocked . Shadow doesnt like strangers . I shrugged casually . Ive always been good with animals , I confessed . When was young , I used to have a dog as well . Her name was Caramel because she was the color of Caramel . Matt snickered at the name , and I smiled . Shadow rubbed himself all over me before returning to Matts side . My parents got her for me because they were never home . Caramel kept me company , I finished explaining . Something flashed in Matts eyes as he fixated his attention on his dog . It almost looked like sadness . My dad is never home , he murmured . So , Shadow keeps me company . He protects me from bad and conniving people . Thats why he bit the last tutor . She was conniving and only agreed to tutor me so she could get close to my father I raised my brows . How could a woman do such a thing ? I felt sick at the very thought that she was using this little boy only for his father . Who was his father to this woman ? How about I bring Shadow back inside so you can finish getting to know one another , Adam suggested as he walked towards the dog who only growled at him . Matt smirked . Careful Adam ; or you might end up dog food , Matt warned . Adam mumbled something under his breath that I didnt quite get but he managed to get Shadow and bring him into the villa while I stayed behind with Matt . Matt stared at me ; his arms folded across his chest as he examined me . You have good reflexes and aim , he murmured . But that doesnt mean you are strong or smart . Well , if its my brain you are worried about , I am top of my class in all my subjects . I graduated high school with high honors and Im currently a college student , I told him . I felt a little silly felling all this to a 7 year old . But I could tell he was mature for his age , and he was having trouble trusting my capabilities . As for my strength , as 1 said , Im training to be a Gamma warrior . How can I prove my strength to you ? He smirked ; giving me a look I was starting to grow accustomed fo . I knew that meant he was up I stepped backward , narrowing my eyes . Lets play a game , he finally said , surprising me . Okay , what kind of game ? Escape . Ever play it ? up to something . Chapter 0011 Escape was a game where the opponent tries to escape the other persons hold . Ive only played it with others around my age , never ones much younger than me . This should certainly be interesting . Would you wish to escape from me ? I asked him . He nodded . I might be 7 , but Im very strong , he said , putting his hands on his hips . I smiled . I dont doubt that , I told him . Okay , lets give it a shot . Before he was even ready , I already had him tackled to the ground . I must say, he did put up a pretty fair fight . I could tell hes done some training , and it made me wonder why he trained so hard at a young age .noveldrama It took me a minute to get my bearings and get control of the situation , but I eventually had him pinned and he couldnt move . He struggled against me , and I just smiled as he attempted to get out of my hold . I thought you were stronger than that ? I teased . His cheeks grew pink from embarrassment , and I laughed wholeheartedly . If become your tutor , we can work on this , I assured him . As he attempted to escape from me , I heard some footsteps from nearby and I assumed Adam was returning . But then I heard another set of footsteps ; Matt must have heard them as well because he froze and looked in the direction of the sound . I watched as his face lit up in delight ; a look I had yet to see from him . Dad !! He yelled excitedly . I looked in the same direction and my entire heart fell deep into my stomach . His father , the man of the house , was none other than Gavin Landry . </body></html>
