Knox came up next to us. “I got this, Creed,” he assured his little brother and a look passed between them. Creed reluctantly backed away, letting go of me completely. Knox took his place in front of me. The intensity of his stare and the way he towered over me made me feel like he was blocking out the rest of the world. Knox was the strongest out of the five of us. I found myself leaning toward him and resting my forehead against his chest, hoping to absorb a little bit of his strength.
