Nico POV
But my little brother had already made up his mind. He launched at me, and I yelled over my shoulder, "lila, run!"
With a hard shove I pushed her out the door and ducked just in time as Damon fist came flying toward my face.
With a punch to Damon gut, I jerked up straight and flung my other fist toward his face, my knuckles connecting against his cheekbone. Bone cracked, grunts and roars of anger echoed.
Damon spun from the force and collapsed on the ground. For a second I wanted to kick him while he was down.
I wanted to beat him to a fucking pulp for threatening lila, for whipping her, and for every ounce of hate he had directed at her.
But lila was out there running through a house she didn't know, guaranteed to find a threat around every damn corner. I had to go find her.
I rushed out the door and down the hall. There was only one place in this house she knew how to get to my bedroom.
