Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Damon .
Im your sister .
Noelle she said with a playful grin .
Damon wasnt having it .
His faced darkened , and he shot her a sharp look.
Dont play dumb .
You know exactly what Im asking There were too many things about NorÃe that didnt make sense .
She wasnt just skilled , she was too skilled .
Most people her age wouldnt even come close to what she could do .
It was almost like the had cheated her way through life .
And now , she had taken a bullet , hadnt seen a doctor , and yet , somehow , she seas already healing .
Way too fast Damons mind raced .
The only logical explanation was that she had been part some top secret organization , trained for God knows what .
That would explain the insane abilities , the unnatural recovery Noelle saw the way he was looking at her , like he wasnt going to let this go .
Her gaze flickered , her usual carefree expression dimming just a little .
The shift was subtle , but the air around her felt different ity kills the cat .
Her te was light , but there sull , she smiled , Soft , calm , almost lazy .
I get that youre curious , but you know what they say curiosity was something sharp underneath .
I really dont want you dying just yet .
So how about stop asking ? Because if she told him the truth , she would have to kill him to keep him quiet .
People al e always thought Noelle was all fun and games , nothing but smiles and jokes . But when she got serious , she had a way of making the air go Damon felt it.
A quiet warning He stared at her , his usual confidence shaken just a little .
Noelle ... For a second he wasnt sure how to respond .
Then , almost like he was switching topics out of nowhere , he asked .
By the way where are the Noelle blinked at him , caught off guard by the question .
Hmm Assassins ? She tilted her head , her expression all wide eyed innocence , like she had no clue what he meant .
Then , after a beat , she smiled and asked , Damon , are you sure you want to know what happened to them ? Noelie didnt really mind selling him , but she figured it might freak Damon out Damon suddenly felt a chill run down his spire .
His throat felt dry , but he finally managed to ask , Umh , are they gonna be a problem for us They wont Noelle grinned .
Chill .
Theres no way this comes back to us , I swear .
Ikamon just stared at her , completely at a loss for words After everything that happened today .
Damon saw Noelle in a whole new light .
All the things she had said before , the ones he brushed off , were Marting to seem a lot more real He remembered that night after the competition , during the celebration party .
Two guys from the team had ined to pull something on Noelle , and she had beaten them so badly they were barely breathing .
At the time , she had looked at him , dead serious , and asked if she should just finish the jobs and get rid of the evidence .
He thought she was joking , but now ... he wasnt so sure .
If he hadat stopped her back then , she would have actually done it .
That thought alone made his blood run cold .
For the first tam tame , Damon felt something close to fear when it came to Noelle .
And worse , he started worrying about the Anderson family as a whole .
This girl is dangerous .
What if someone in the family crossed her one day ? What if she got pissed off and- Ne Damon denteven want to fish that thought .
The car fell into an eerie silence .
Nyelle , meanwhile , was watching him , her head tilting slightly as she took in his expression .
His face kept shifting , going pale , then dark , like he was dast in sotar horrible thought .
She blinked .
What the hell is he thinking After a moment , she tried to put herself in his shors , just like Nick hard taught her .
Then , it clicked Her eyes brightened , and she let out a small laugh before flashing Damon a reasuring umile .
1/2 773 AM C ë¤ Chapter 119 Damon , are you seriously worried that Id hurt you ? she asked , amused .
Come on .
Youre my family .
Youre not like the others .
And if anyone ever Toner 1 after you .
Ill be the one protecting you .
As if to prove her point , she reached over and gave his head a light pat , like she was comforting a scared puppy .
It was almost funny , considering she was about to kill him earlier .
But in Noelles mind , none of this contradicted itself .
If it werent for the labs orders , she would never lay a hand on her family .
In fact , she would do the opposite ; shed protect them .
After all , she liked them .
There was no reason to kill them .
Damon stared at Noelle , unsure what to say .
He had wanted to ask if everything was true .
However , then he remembered , back at the illegal street race , when they got ambushed by those thugs . They had threatened to break his hand , and it was Noelle who had stepped in to protect him .
And this time , she had taken the hit for him .
That was the only reason she was so badly injured .
Even the assassins admitted it Noelle was fast enough to dodge bullets .
If he hadnt slowed her down , she wouldnt have gotten shot at all .
Damons gaze drifted to Noelles face .
She might have been acting all casual , laughing like it was no big deal , but her body couldnt lie .
Noelle must be in pain .
Her usual healthy glow was gone , replaced by a sickly paleness .
Even her lips had lost their color .
She was clearly holding on Is she pretending so I wont worry ? That thought hit him harder than he expected .
A wave of guilt crept in as he remembered how , just moments ago , he had been afraid of her .
He had actually thought she might kill them if she ever got angry .
But the truth , when it really mattered , Noelle had been the one to protect him .
Not many people would do that .
Damon feli silly for having such negative thoughts about his sister over something that hadnt even happened .
Damon sat there , wrestling with everything that had just happened .
Finally , he looked at Noelle again .
He wasnt great with emotional stuff , but for the first time , he reached out , resting a hand on her head .
Noelle ....
thanks for this one .
