The Hallodean family is isn't really the flashy rich type. I mean I'm pretty sure we could afford to be, just by the look of our house but for some reason or another we choose to look like paupers.
While rich spoiled kids were getting into there BMWs, Ferraris and whatever, Kendron, Moira and I set out on foot for the cold journey home. Kendron lived only about two blocks away from us so he decided to start to accompany us home. It did make a difference though, I liked to see Moira happy, I liked the happiness she felt around him.
I felt a bit alone walking infront with no one beside me. I rubbed my cold arms through my thick grey sweater and looked around me. We were walking on a rather desolate road with a thick forest of trees on both sides. The sun now barely shone through the clouds and only tiny rays came through them.
"Hey Chenin I realized Alysa wasn't at school today." Kendron took the opportunity to tease me.
Alysa was the one girl at school I had my eye on. She was from the rich prestigious Hemmington family. But she did not act as stuck up or spoiled as her two brothers, John and Meade, who were jocks. She was kind and considerate and looked like angel material. I only talked to her once when I "accidentally" bumped into her but yet still I was obssessed.
"Today was her birthday." Moira shouted.
"How do you know that?" I turned around and shot back.
"Her friends talk alot!" Moira grinned then suddenly stopped.
She raised a finger in the air to signal for silence. Kendron and I followed the order. She seemed to be listening to something though I could hear nothing.
"Run." she whispered urgently.
Both Kendron and I knew that when Moira says something urgent we should react. We broke into a mad sprint, Moira kept up easily with Kendron. Our shoes pounded on the rough asphalt surface.
"What the hell are we running from!?" I asked on a shaky breath.
"Ares!" Moira shouted back.
That's when I heard it. A sound I had grown to know and hate so well. The Mercedes engine of Ares Robinson. He was also Alysa's boyfriend and after he found out I liked her he had resorted to making my life a living hell.
We stopped and turned around to face what was unavoidable. I saw the silver Mercedes round the corner and his possè shout a battle cry. He parked right beside us and got out with is lackeys behind him. Alysa sat suprised in the front seat of the car behind him.
"Ares, I thought we were going to see a movie?" Alysa asked, obviously not liking what was about to happen.
"Just sorting out some business here first honey." he cracked his knuckles and smirked.
"Ares, please let's not..." her voice was shaking.
Ares lifted me by my sweater and hoisted me face to face level with him. It was almost funny I thought to myself. I'm about to get beat up by a guy who has the name of the god of war. I looked into his grass green eyes and saw hell.
"Come on Alysa, how could you have compassion on this freak, look at his god-damn eyes!"
My eyes are black... and I mean black as in they match the color of my pupils. His possè laughed behind him. Kendron and Moira stood behind, dead silent... for a moment.
"Put him down" Kendron shouted and lundged forward only to be held back one of the random drunks that was behind Ares.
"Put him down Ares" Moira screamed like a banshee.
"Or what blind girl" they all laughed again.
Moira had a fair sense of finding where objects were by listening. I guessed that's how she darted forward with bird speed and sank a side kick into Ares's stomach. He let me go and fell to the ground in a fetal position. Then four things happened;
1. I swore I saw Alysa hold back a laugh with her hand.
2. One of the lackeys lifted Ares from the ground.
3. And another lackey grabbed onto Moira's hair.
4. Kendron gave a sharp twist to the hand of the guy holding him.
You can fuck with me. You can fuck with Kendron. Damn you can even fuck with Alysa. But no one messes with Moira... no one.
I found a new found strenght and rage. I snapped when I saw her cringe in pain. I was no longer me.I ran down on him like a wild animal, lept into the air and brought down my elbow into his neck. He immediately let go and staggered back, holding his neck. Kendron was a guy I knew for his temper and he didn't fall short of expectations. He came in with a heel and kicked the guy in the back of the head, sending him to the ground unconcious.
Ares and the others had already gotten back into the car and started it with haste, leaving the dude on the ground alone.
"Are you alright Moira?" I asked as Kendron and I ran to her aid.
Kendron wrapped his arms around her as she fell to the ground and sadly responded "As long as you are"
"Then you're just fine" Kendron kissed her forhead.
I reassured her "I'll never let anyone hurt you again"
