The Queen and Her Falcon

Chapter 2

We pulled into KAI's it was packed to the brink when we walked in. Sweaty bodies rocking in time with one another, people hooking up in the corners, the bartender behind the counter. I smirked, lowkey I loved everything about clubbing the excitement, the provocative atmosphere, and the danger. Pear and Harrison made a beeline for the dance floor; where as I headed straight to the bar. Tonight a very beautiful redheaded woman was bustling about behind the counter.

I placed my clutch on the counter and sat down. The barista looked at me and smiled, ¨hi! I'm Tina what can I get ya?¨ I scanned the many bottles aligned on the shelf, ¨could I get a dirty martini double olives?'' She nodded and went to work making the drink. ¨You must be here cuz friends dragged you,¨ Tina yelled. I smiled and shouted back, ¨we graduated today and they wanted to celebrate. I enjoy this atmosphere though feeds the woman I have locked inside.¨ Tina set my drink down and leaned in to say, ¨get your kicks kiddo while you still can.'' The redhead and I talked well shouted more throughout the night I told her where I'd start working and she said she was looking to work at Stark Enterprises to. I drank a few more martinis since Harrison decided he'd be designated driver.

Around 1am I'd had enough and was ready to scram. I waved goodbye to Tina and stumbled off to find Pear and Harrison. I looked and looked but couldn't seem to find the two love birds. I took my phone out to call an Uber the sweet lady said she'd be there in 20 minutes. I stumbled outside and sat on the curb watching the occasional traffic rush by. A rather drunk man slinked over to me asking for me to give him a good time. I wasn't that drunk to realize that I needed to leave. So I stood up and began to walk off until he grabbed the edges of my dress pulling me with him behind the club. I screamed and slapped at his hands which he only responded with drunken grunts and laughs. Even though this man was intoxicated, he still towered over me like an unrelenting wall.

¨Clothes off slut,¨ he said in a gruff disgusting voice that made me want to regurgitate all the previous solids and liquids I'd consumed that day. I violently shook my head and looked for an exit anything to get me out. The grubby man spit into the dirt and backed me up against the wall, ¨what a shame pretty lady,'' he murmured hauntingly in my ear and began to tear at my dress ripping it up the side till my upper thighs were exposed. I felt hot with rage this was happening to me. I felt the well of tears began to rain from my eyes. I felt the air being sucked from my lungs suffocating me slowly. I felt the earth on my feet I wanted to be swallowed up to be protected. He laughed as his hands rubbed my thighs,¨a yummy treat for me.¨ My hand felt hot as I reached forward to strike the man. But it wasn't skin that struck him because he was burned on the right side of his face he yelled like a wounded cat. Then came the water from nowhere he began to drown in some kind of tidalwave. He started to choke when the water was gone just like the air had been taken from me. Finally, his wrists and ankles were bound into the ground locked tight like a prisoner.

I ran. My phone lit up that my Uber had made it and I climbed in and told the woman the address of the dorms. I could tell she was looking at me in the rearview, but I didn't care I was scared and tired oh so tired. When the dorms came into blurry view I stumbled out and gave the woman her money. Slowly, as if each step rid me of a bit of energy I climbed to my dorm. For once, I was grateful the girls didn't listen to me and lock my door because I had only enough energy to fall in and rip what was left of the dress off. I reached my bed and my head started to spin and my vision became spotty. I collapsed and drifted into a deep slumber.

Et erunt quasi fortes matrem.
(she is strong as strong as her mother)
Vires sunt undeveloped.
(her powers are underdeveloped)
Et in fide sua.
(have faith in her)
Quod si non sit paratus ?
(what if she isn't ready)
Noli aemulari in illa erunt.
(Don't fret she will be)

Everyone hi! I just wanted to let everyone know I apologize about the Latin I used google translate and that doesn't necessarily mean it's correct. Hope everyone's staying cool this Saturday.
