Todd knocked on Sara's window. She got out of bed and opened it silently, just like Todd planned. She hugged him tight and he kissed her forehead. He closed the door quietly and sat Sara on the bed. "You love me, right Sara Bear?" Sara nodded. "Of course you do." Todd kissed Sara's shoulder but she could sense that something was very very wrong. "Toddy why are you kissing me like you kiss Alaina?" "Shh. Be quiet. Remember the game we played before they took me away? We're going to play that one." Sara remembered the game all too well. It was one of the games that hurt and didn't feel nice at all. "Toddy I don't want to play that  game though...that game hurt bad." "But don't you remember how good it made me feel? I thought you liked to make me feel good." She tried to get up but Todd laid her down. Sara squirmed as he pulled her pants down. "STOP TODD! Please!" Todd put his hand over her mouth and ignored her tears and muffled screams. Suddenly the door flung open and Todd jumped up, pulled up his pants, and let go of Sara who hurried to pull up her pants and run into Alec's arms. "Shh. It's ok Sara." He put her down and locked his eyes on Todd, and set his jaw firm. Through gritted teeth, he commanded Sara. "Go...get...Mom." After Sara ran to their mother's room, Alec spoke to his brother. "Why in H*** would you dare to hurt her? She believed in your sorry a** and you raped her. I should kill you but I'll give you a chance to get you're disgusting a** back to that rehab." Todd smiled. "You wouldn't kill your own brother would you Ally Al?" Alec's eyes burned with hatred. "Try me." Todd lunged with a shard of glass at Alec! It cut his arm. "AHHH YOU B****!" Alec held his arm for a split second then he punched Todd in the chest as hard as he could. Todd was too strong and recovered his breath easily. He restrained Alec and continuously punched his leg until he heard a blood curdling crunch. "GET THE H*** OFF ME!!!" With one swift move, Alec pushed Todd and pinned him against the wall. Alec stood on his good leg and punched Todd in the face. He then just stood there and stared his brother in the eye as if looking through his soul. "If you ever come back and hurt Sara ever again, I'll slit your throat and mix your blood with wine and drink it like the finest wine ever made. D***it I'll serve it to the president of the f***ing United States. Todd, run back to rehab. Don't ever...come...back." Alec dropped Todd and he ran back out the window and into the night. Alec turned around to see Sara and his mother in the doorway. "Alec..." was all Sara could manage. He was bloody from his arm and sweaty from the heat of his anger. He bent down and picked Sara up and hugged her as if he was their dad. Sara started to cry. "Shhh. It's ok Sara Bear. Toddy won't ever come back and hurt you. I promise I won't let him." The family had a group hug and Alec's mom said she'd drive him to the hospital now and asked if he thought they should press charges. "No. Todd is still my brother. He may be messed up but he's still my brother. Putting him in juvi wouldn't help him at all." Alec had lost a good amount of blood and they wanted him to stay over night to make sure there was no internal bleeding from his leg. That night, Alec's mom slept in the chair next to the bed and Alec fell asleep after Sara dozed off in his arms.
