I dashed my way over to the scene while Jasper broke out into a booming laugh behind me. I changed my mind, I'm glad that asshole wasn't paying attention to my confession.
Artemis and Crimson were greatly outnumbered, and I could tell that they had already taken quite a few hits already, yet they stood their ground. I counted as I made my way over to the group, my heart sinking more and more as the numbers increased.
There were around thirteen of them, and they looked about a year or two younger than me, but definitely older and stronger than my poor children. The opposing suddenly turned their attention to me, their grins widening at the sight of another easy target.
Without hesitation, two of them lunged at me, the one in the front ready to throw a punch. I managed to dodge it rather quickly, allowing him to stumble past me while I threw a punch at the second person, landing right at his face.
My heart leapt- I was terrified, certainly, but seeing that kid fall to the ground sent a wave of pleasure coursing through my body. With the dumbest looking grin imaginable, I pushed my way into the fight.
I quickly made my way over to Artemis and Crimson, and sort of stood in front of the two like a shield.
"Gray! What are you doing here?" Artemis huffed, his back against mine as he deflected a strike that was aimed at him from behind.
"I'm here saving your asses." I grunted in response. I glanced at Jasper, who had caught up to us and was now standing at a distance, watching the fight unfold with an amused grin. He seemed more interested in observing the situation rather than jumping in to help. He caught my gaze, and all this bastard did was smile and give me a thumbs up.
That just about did it. It pissed me off so much that it fueled a burst of power within me, and suddenly I felt as if I could take on all these people at once, all on my own.
Well, that's how I felt right before I was socked in the back of the head by a crushing punch. Suddenly, with their newfound advantage, they began coming at us in all angles, their attacks coming from all directions.
Despite the fact that we were getting our asses beat, the adrenaline rush still persisted, and each hit I took only had me more exhilarated.
I noticed one of them heading straight for Crimson, while the boy was distracted with holding off another one about his size. I dashed towards them and clashed with the second boy, trying to gain control of the situation. We wrestled right there, me trying to push back against him. Over his shoulder, I saw that Artemis was doing surprisingly well, despite the fact that he was facing three of them by himself, and had already took two down.
