Converting to Islam

Chapter 22

Tyler pulls back and wipes his lips. His eyes shoots daggers at the two intruders. As soon as I have the chance I jump up from under his grip and rush away from him; for some reason I desperately run behind Daniel thinking he could possibly help.

"...what was just going on?" Connor begins.

Connor and Daniel stand face to face with Tyler shooting daggers at him. A growl erupts from under Tyler's lips.

"None of your business. Get lost," Tyler sneers.

Tyler walks towards me and grabs my hand forcefully. He is about to pull me away from Daniel. I shriek loudly as his fingernails dig into my skin.

"Shut up! We're going home."

I continue to scream despite Tyler's threats as I try to pull away from his grip. He repeatedly cusses as he tries to pull me away.

Suddenly a hand grabs Tyler's arm, stopping him from pulling any further. Between me and Tyler is Daniel, gripping Tyler's arms like he's about to rip it off.

"What do you think you're doing?" My spine shivers to hear a deadly voice like that come from Daniel.

Tyler grinds his teeth and his eyes are bloodshot. "Let go."

Daniel repeats his question, this time pronouncing every syllable slowly and eerily, "I said; what do you think you're doing?"

Tyler frustratedly tries to pull his hand away from Daniel's , however Daniel's grip is tightly secured.

"She's my fiancee," Tyler suddenly screams, "I can do whatever I want! It's none of your business!"

"Just because she's your fiancee doesn't mean you can harass her."

"Who do you think-"

Tyler's words are cut off. A low growl comes from Daniel's throat, who is now only inches away from Tyler's face, "I swear on my life, I won't ever let you touch her without her consent."

Tyler's face goes pale. The atmosphere is tense as the two boys are face to face glaring at each other. Connor however, stands awkwardly at the side, looking startled from all the commotion. My heart is beating too fast for me to keep up. I cannot believe my eyes: Daniel is protecting me from Tyler!

"You little..." Tyler sneers. "Who the hell do you think you are? You think that you can stop me just because she likes you! Not for long Daniel, not for long. Because let me tell you one thing Daniel: You have nothing that I don't have."

Daniel's muscles loosen their grip. His body stumbles back slightly as he stares at Tyler with wide eyes.

"Likes...me?" He repeats.

I gawp in horror as Tyler reveals my feelings to the world. The look on Daniel's face spells confusion, and he looks towards me blinking rapidly.

"W-what? What are you talking about Tyler?" I say as my heart races.

Tyler smirks as he lets go of my hand and takes a step towards Daniel. The look in his eyes are demonic. It's hard to believe that he's the same Tyler a few minutes ago.

"Have you really not noticed? Wow you are one thick-headed-"

With all of my might I grab the back of Tyler's shirt and pull him away from Daniel - his head meets the ground with a hard bang.

His reaction is spontaneous. Like a bullet through the air he jumps up and throws himself at Daniel. He breathes heavily, eyeing Daniel like prey. There's a rock in his hand. Realization slaps me hard in the face as I realize what's going on: that rock Tyler has in his hand, is soon going to meet Daniel's face if I don't do anything.

Just as the rock is about to meet Daniel's head I jump and try to hold Tyler back. I pull back his arms firmly, screaming for him to stop. He doesn't though. No one really understands what's going on - Connor and Daniel don't know what Tyler is capable of.

Tyler's immense amount of rage aids his body to spring itself forward. The rock meets Daniel's face.

A waterfall of blood.

It all happens in the moment of one second, though it seemed to be going in slow motion. Tyler raises his hand high above his head, and brings it crashing down onto Daniel's forehead. It was unexpected. Who could predict someone could do something like this in the matter of seconds?

Daniel curls back in pain. He seems to be blinded by the blood pouring down his face. Tyler steps back to admire his work.
