Sidetracked

Chapter 4

"FIGHT....FIGHT....FIGHT" the drunken chant rose over the sound of the club's thumping music. Turning, I watched as the once intoxicated dancers had migrated into the furthest corner.

"What's going on?" Elma squeaked hopping off the bar stool she'd been sitting on.

"I-I don't know" I replied pivoting towards Will, whose face had gone deathly pale "Will?"

"Antebellum?" He responded as a sickening crunch rippled through the room.

"OH...MY...GOSH" Lara jerked back at the horrid sound.

"Finn" Will and I muttered at the same time.

"How do we get him out?" I rotated to Will

"I'll get him"

"No, William, this is a bar fight, what are the chances of you not getting hurt?" I claimed.

"Bellum, it doesn't matter, what matters is giving you the best harm-free birthday" Will rebutted already approaching the swarm.

"Will" I wailed anger quick to flow through my body "You're not going in there".

"Lara, Elma, take her back to the car, I'll be out in a minute" Will instructed diving head-first into the throng of people.

"Will" I pleaded trying to go with him but stopped by Lara.

"Let go" I threatened swiveling towards her.

"Antebellum we're not going in there" Elma attempted to console me.

"Why not?" I retorted, her calming voice only throwing more wood into my fire.

Stunned Lara spoke "Will doesn't want you hurt Antebellum, are you really going to do that to him".

"Don't pretend like you care Lara" I sneered unable to calm down. Nothing was making sense to them because they didn't understand my need to protect my friends. Finding some remaining strength I snatched my wrist from Lara's grasp and bolted into the beehive of people.

"Excuse me" I muttered shoving people left and right.

God, how many people are in this place?

"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" the chant only got louder as I navigated through the crowd. Finally breaking through the crowd I couldn't help but gasp. A lumberjack sized boy with silky black hair was standing over Will.

Oh Will

Will was sprawled across the ground, his left eye swollen shut and purple. Blood was running from his nose and split puckered lip. Searching quickly, I saw Finn being leaned up against the wall by a girl who also had a dark silky mane. Turning back towards the boy and William, I watched as he pulled back his arm as if about to hit Will again.

"STOP!!" I screamed catching the dark haired boys attention.

Whooh

The boy had turned his head and I noticed that his left eye was an Ice blue while his right was a vibrant green.

"Don't you dare-"

"Crunch" Will's fist connected with the boys solid face. Lighting fast the boy started to lay punches on Will hard enough to stop Will from protecting his face with his arms.

Seeing enough I unconsciously jumped onto the boys back. Wrapping my legs around his sculpted waist, my short dress rose to squeeze tightly around my butt. Rearing back I tried to shift enough weight to pull him away from Will.

A growl ripped through his chest scaring me.

"Get off-"

Wrong idea
