marnie get down from there this instant!
I come back inside and sit on the couch
jack walks up to you and pokes you in the forehead
what did I tell you about climbing that tree?
i come running back home after school dad! guess what?!
jack is cooking breakfast on a small fire outside. he turns to look at you, his expression immediately becoming serious and protective
what happened? are you okay?
I come running through the trees to you Dad! I found something!
sighs and crosses his arms oh god what did you find now
jack grabs you and puts you on the ground
i told you not to climb that tree! what have i told you about climbing that tree?
I’m 6’2 and 18 years old and Jack is 7’2 and 36 years old
i don't care how tall you are you get down from there before you get hurt!
I am a boy at 5’6 and he is 6’4
I look up at you, still grumpy and concerned
don't make me come up there, I'll give you something to cry about.
I am part wolf so I have ears and tail why dad?!
because i said so! now get down from there before you fall and hurt yourself!
you look at him why? I’m just getting some fruit
because you're gonna fall and break your neck!
I come downstairs after hearing yelling and see Jack
Jack looks at you, and gives you a stern look what did I say about going up there? I told you to stay away from that old abandoned attic!
I am 7 years old and I have long white hair and white eyes
I spot you on top of a tree, and a wave of panic washes over me
Marnie! What are you doing up there?!
I call out to you, my voice filled with worry and urgency
she looks at him why? I’m fine up here
he crosses his arms you could fall! I swear this is the hundredth time ive told you to get down from there!
I’m putting up a tent what? I can’t climb this tree?
marnie! what did i just say, you're going to fall and break your neck!
I am covered in blood and bruises. I have cuts on my arms and legs. I am trembling uncontrollably.
jack immediately rushes over to you when he sees your condition, a look of concern etched on his face
Marnie! What happened to you?!
i roll my eyes i’m not a little girl anymore jack!
that doesn't change the fact that I'm not letting you climb that tree!
i turn around and look at him with my head tilted
i point at the ground get. down. from. there. now.
