The sky was overcast when Kara awoke in the morning. She had slept in the basement with her uncle after the storms, not knowing what havoc the tornado had caused to her uncle's property. The staff that had shared the stock room with her in the wee hours was now busy cleaning the grounds of tree limbs, debris and everything else her uncle asked of them.
Climbing up the stairs to the main room Kara could hear her uncle screaming out orders to remove a tree that had hit the right wing of the house. Glass pieces from the windows were scattered across the marble floor making it almost impossible to walk around. As she carefully walked out the front door Kara could see Cain helping his men tie ropes around the gigantic oak that slammed into the roof.
The damage the tornado had caused was minimal Kara noticed as she surveyed the grounds from the front lawn. Trees were ripped from the ground and set all over the grounds as if they were the tornadoes rag dolls. The right wing of the mansion however wasn't so lucky. The big oak that crashed into it over night had driven a mighty limb into the roof and down to the floor below. Shingles were ripped away and there was visible water damage.
Kara breathed a sigh of relief; the night before was the scariest thing of her young life. Cain now rolling down his sleeves and wiping the beads of sweat off his brow walked over to Kara. His chest was heavy; visibly you could see the strain as he took in deep breathes.
"I am so happy you're awake, Kara."Cain said as he shoved his red rag into his pants pocket."I didn't want to wake you. I know you; I mean we had an eventful night last night."He wrapped one arm around her shoulders pulling her close to give her a kiss on her forehead.
"I was terribly scared, uncle. I thought we were all going to die last night because of the tornado." Kara said as she rested her head on his shoulder. He smelt of sweat, bourbon and cigars.
"I told you everything would be ok." Cain said as he patted her back in reassurance."Now all there is to do is move that beastly oak off of the house and patch the hole. My men and I should have it fixed before this evening."
As they walked back to the house a car was pulling up in the drive. Myra, who had been missing rushed out of the cab towards Kara and her uncle. Open arms greeted her as she embraced them both.
"I am so sorry for not being here last night. The storm came in fast while I was at my family's home, we had to bunker down when it hit." Myra held onto Kara as they all walked inside the house. She could feel Kara's hand resting on her ample ass and squeezing a bit, this made her quiver down below.
"Not a problem, Myra." Cain said as he motioned them to the dining hall."We are just glad you're alright. Tell me, did your house get hit by the tornado too?" He said as they all sat down as one of the maids brought them a buffet of breakfast foods.
"We thought it had come over our house but there were no signs of damage. Well, we had a down burst that took out a few trees, that's about it."Myra said as she took a blueberry streusel scone from the wicker basket and began to devour it.
"That's wonderful, well not the down burst part but not getting hit with a tornado part." Cain replied as he fixed himself eggs, bacon and corned beef hash."We need to talk about your work here after breakfast, Myra." Cain said as he forked away at his food.
"Is there something wrong, Sir?" Myra said wondering if she had done something wrong. This thought made her stop picking apart her scone and look directly at Kara.
"No, nothing is wrong. I just think since you and Kara will be starting college soon you two lovely young ladies should hang out more."He said as he took a big gulp of orange juice which instantly made his stomach wince from the now growing ulcer."Would you be ok if I let you go? I can see you and Kara having lots of fun together."
