KRYSTALLIA

"Get the fuck out of my face, you burnt toast," I said to the new female gang member who was all up in my face. Her scowl deepened and she called out someone. I raised an eyebrow and a boy came, treading through the crowd.

"Yes?"

She nudged her head at me and the guy suddenly wrapped his hand around my throat, squeezing tightly. He had lifted me up and pushed me against the wall. I poured the beer in my red solo cup at the guy before kicking his balls.

He let go and I dropped onto my feet, taking in air. I got a glimpse of a bottle of beer and took it, pouring its contents on the girl's head before throwing it on the floor, smashing it to pieces.

Straightening the shirt under my flannel, I dusted my hands, "That'll teach you."

"Fuck you," the girl sneered, sweeping her alcohol-stained hair away. I pulled my hand back and slapped her across the face, "You earned it, bitch. Learn to respect the leaders."

I walked away from them both and noticed everyone looking over at us. I raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Just like that, they went back to partying. I squeezed through the crowd and reached the bar. I sighed in relief when I see a brown head of hair. I took quick steps towards him and hugged him from behind, "You don't know what the hell happened just now."

I heard a deep laugh and he turned around, wrapping his arms around me, "Cat fight?"

I unhooked my arms and Zach picked me up, placing me on the barstool. I sighed and waved the bartender, Casper, over, "Cas."

He quickly served the other customers before coming towards us with a smile, "How may I help you, miss?"

"A cosmopolitan," I said and he nodded, "Coming right up, miss."

Casper went to make the drink and Zach rubbed my back, "What happened?"

"This drunk new girl thought it was a good idea to come and hit me with a beer bottle. Luckily, she missed. She then got all like 'you're an idiot, you know' and I was like 'fuck off'. Then she called her boyfriend or whatever and he choked me, but I kicked him in the nuts."

He nodded and kissed my temple, "Did you kill them?"

"Not yet. I poured beer all over them though and slapped her across the face."

He smiled and pecked my lips, "That's my girl."

He then held my chin before tilting my head upwards. He grazed the pad of my thumb over my neck, "Kris is gonna kill the two."

I raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

"There's a visible bruise in the shape of a hand around your neck. I think that's enough for Kris and Landon to go on a rampage. KT though..."

"He'll be cleaning the wound," I said and heard a glass being placed on the bar. Casper wiped his hands on a towel, "A cosmopolitan for the Queen of Crystal Undead."

I smiled gratefully as I accepted the drink, "Thanks, Cas. Owe you one," I flicked a quarter coin at him and he caught it in his palm.

"No need, miss," he smiled before walking away to attend to other customers. I took a sip of the drink and asked, "Where is everyone, anyway?"

"The twins are picking up Blake at the airport, Mark went somewhere with a girl, Sam is on the dance floor, and Howards went back to the quarters."
