Spilt Blood

"Are you okay?" Emmerson spoke in her ear.

That was enough for her to come back to reality a bit and push away from him.

"Yes! I just need to refreshen up." She said, completely flustered. She backed away from him. Her heart started to race again. As she made her way through the crowd to the bathrooms. That was a mistake, o earth mother what was I thinking! I shouldn't have let them get so close. I shouldn't have done that charm. I need to get out of here! She felt her eyes starting to swell.

She was able to locate the signs to the bathroom and followed them. They were down a long corridor with big mirrors hanging on the walls.

She washed her hands and patted her face and chest, cooling and calming herself down with water. It was all too much.

Couple of deep breaths, and she was recomposed to go back out to Elara and the others. Determined to get her part of their agreement, so she could leave.

She was walking back down the long corridor when before she knew it a strong armed wrapped their fingers around her arm and pushed her to the wall violently. It was the man that she had charmed, the one at the bar. She didn't understand, she had reversed the charm he should not feel any pull towards her at all.  

"I'm glad you got rid of the meat bag with weird contacts." He sneered.

"Let go of me!" Elodie yelled back, struggling against his grip on her.

"You are playing hard to get, that's cute. To be honest with you sweetheart, I felt a lot more chemistry between us before. But I'm sure we can find it again."

Holding her firmly against the wall, he leaned in to her. His lips were almost touching hers, when she used all her strength to push him off.

"Fuck off!" He stumbled backward and hit the back of head against the mirror, cracking it slightly.

"You fucking bitch!" He yelled and grabbed her, swinging her around into the mirror, smashing it against her back, and then pushing her back onto it again.

Elodie screamed in pain. With the second shove a large fragment of the mirror lodged into her back. Before she could even think about how she was going to get out of this situation. Emmerson landed a huge punch to the man's face. Knocking him several feet down the corridor and completely unconscious. Emmerson was shaking with rage and his eyes were a bright yellow. Cypress was right at the edge. Leon came bursting into the corridor and crash tackled Emmerson to the ground, trying to restrain him. " Emm! He is out cold, you can't kill him! Emm calm down! You can't let Cypress take control!" Leon yelled at him.

"Elodie!" Elara was at her side." O My god! Are you okay? Your hurt, let me get you to the car." She went to pick her up. But was stopped by Emmerson. "I'll take her." He said. 

"What about Cypress!?"Elara refused

"He is fine, just let me take her". 

Emmerson picked Elodie up, careful not to touch where the mirror went into her back.

Before she knew it they were all back in the car.

"I know the town hospital is closer, but I'm not risking Cypress coming forward again like that. We are going to the pack house. I'll get the pack doctor to meet us there. " Leon informed everyone as Elara got into the front passenger seat and Emmerson put Elodie in the back seat sitting next to him. Leon floored it out of the town towards the pack house.

"No just let me out on the way, I did what you asked!" Elodie started to cry.

"There is absolutely no way in hell, I'm doing that Elodie." Leon stated. It surprised her that he said that.
