Elijah ignored the children for now. They didn't know what he was trying to do, that he was doing this for them. He glared at the man that he used to always look up to and adored. "What? Because my parents died? Because I do remember them a little, and I still had my grandparents for a few years. None of them hit me. I see lots of people in town, and I have never thought hitting someone cured a problem! Tell me I'm wrong, Ben. Give me one instant where it worked and didn't just make him scared of you? If I don't know what's what.. You explain to me why it is alright to hit your children just because they don't do what you want."
