The Moons Darkside

Chapter Two | Consequences

Tara and Seth slowly walked back to the party. Tara ran a solid two blocks away from the house. She made it a good half-mile without slowing down. Seth would love to chase her around, wondering what would happen when she got caught. "This could be off-topic, but I have a question, what brought you to the party anyway?"Tara asked

"Ironically, it was my best friend, Milo; he practically begged me to come thinking I would be his wingman," Seth said, making Tara smile a bit. "But I'm happy he did."

"So I've never seen you around before. Are you new?"Tara asked."Like to the area maybe even the school.

"Oh, I'm not in college, and no, I've lived here my entire life; it's a family thing."Seth said, "You?"

"Adopted and raised in RoseHaven," Tara said. Seth didn't pry on the adopted part. They just continued walking, making small talk.

They got back to the party, and Allen was high as fuck and was stumbling over to Tara. Tara clenched her fist and looked at Seth. "Ex?" he mouthed, and she nodded.

"BABEEEEEE!?!?! What are you doing with this guy?" Allen said, looking at Seth.

"First of all, don't fucking call me that. You're a fucking liar. I saw you were sleeping with Liv! Don't talk to me ever again."Tara said, pointing at him. Allen grabbed her arm and twisted it, bringing her close to him.

"Don't be so mean, Tara; that's not nice," Allen said, putting pressure.

"Get off."Tara warned, putting her fist up, ready for a fight." I said get off, Allen." Tara said, prepared to ruin his face, but he was pulled away by Seth. He still had his composed face, but she was getting red with anger.

"The girl said get off."Seth was grabbing Allen by his collar."I'm taking you home; find Milo and stay with him. Got it." Tara nodded, and Seth dragged Allen away somewhere private. Tara waits a few minutes before following them to the side of an empty church not so far from the frat house. Tara was peeking over the corner, and Seth held Allen at the wall.

"You're going to fucking listen, you peace of shit. You'll never touch her or any girl like that again. you're going to fix that stupid fucking face of yours and not act like a fucking idiot."Seth growled out, and Allen was trembling. "You got that," Seth said as he grew angrier. He was getting taller, his arms were getting hairier, and his face became more like a wolf. Tara's eyes widened as his body got more significant. She quickly takes a step back, and Seth's ears perk up. She returns to the house to find a guy on the patio overlooking the area.

"Seth."He said it had to be Milo; Tara ran to him and tapped his shoulder.

"Are you Milo?"The boy nods."I'm Tara. Seths were going to take me home." Tara said she was looking around, crossing her arms. She felt someone put their head on her shoulder and looked to see a dazed Liv.

"Heyyyy, Taraaa."Liv said, slurring her words together."Tara's hands clenched into fists as she clenched and unclenched her jaw.

"You Bitch!" She screamed. She brought Liv to the ground, and they started to roll around on the sidewalk. "You're a fucking whore; how could you sleep with Allen."Tara aimed her punch at Liv's face; instead, she got hit with concrete.

"Bestie, he deserves be, and insteadtter."Liv taunts, making Tara scream; she gets a beer bottle and smacks it over her head.

"Your a dumb fucking fake blond," Tara said. They both start screaming, Tara throws punches, and Liv is just waiting for help.

"Tara, that's enough," Seth said; a dazed and fearful Allen was with him, and Seth ran and grabbed Tara lifting her away from Liv. "Milo, let's go."Milo walks behind them as Seth carries Tara.
