Bearclaw Valley Be Prepared

The more adamant the male came about them going with him, the more stubborn Steph was being about not going with him. It does matter, because you are nothing but a stranger to us! she retorted. Steph was fully prepared to tell him what he could do with his options, feeling highly that Clary would stand with her.

But, then, she locked eyes with her sister. Steph couldn't believe she was going to go with him. How could she trust him? Steph felt his threats were nothing but lies. Even though her sister was walking towards him, Steph planted her butt firmly on the ground where she was. She met his gaze, her own full of defiance. Her mother had never told her about having a brother, and Steph would believe her mother's lack of information over his confession that they were related. 

She was not going anywhere with him.
