Ch4pt3r F1v3 - Raylan Charles Lowell

Natasha's Pov

"TASHA," Before I knew it I was being tackled to the ground in a strong death grip.
"Zane for the love of god you're going to kill me," I wheeze wriggling against the cold tile floor in attempts to escape him.
"Ah, so that's your name," Lowell's voice echoes from behind causing Zane to freeze.
"Laurence Charles Lowell I see you have finally decided to turn up," His voice wavered slightly as he spoke.

"Zane Ace Brentford annoying as always I see," Lowell's voice was considerably lower and an unknown hatred hung behind their words.
"I thought his name was Lowell," I whisper only loud enough for Zane to hear but he shakes his head dismissing it quickly.
"Let's get going we already missed first period," Before I knew it Zane was gripping onto my arm dragging me away from Laurence.

His piercing cold blue eyes following my every movement. Glancing back I glare back at him only for him to tilt his head slightly his face flooding with curiosity. Tearing my gaze away I allow myself to be dragged around by a ranting Zane.
"I mean the nerve of that guy!" He yells flailing his arms ranting. 
"To be fair to the guy you did kinda start it..." I mumble as he continues his rant.

"Oh, so you're taking his side now huh?" He growls letting go of my arm eyes narrowed.
"What are you talking about? What side?" I laugh no humor in it.
"Are you stupid!? You just-"
"Whatever Zane. Go take your anger out on someone else,"  I turn on my heels away from his frowning face.

I felt my body heating with anger and i was struggling to maintain my even breaths. Fuck it. Taking a sharp left i booked it out the next exit and followed the rotting outline of the building until I reached the fields. The occasional tree stood swaying gently while the plain sheet of green lay motionless. Here and there were specs of white yellow and blue from where the few stray flowers actually managed to grow without being trampled.

"So she has a bad side" the familiar voice chimed sarcastically behind me.
"What do you want Lowell?" My voice was almost a growl as I struggled to contain my frustration.
"Calm it jesus. Who ruffled your feathers?" he continued his voice holding an obvious amusement.
"Just leave me alone" I spat matching in a direction away from him.

"Don't walk away from me" a cold hand snatched my wrist yanking it backwards causing me to stumble.
"Excuse me" I laughed humour evaporating from my words.
"I wasn't done talking to you" this time my eyes met his.

He was serious. His browns wrinkled slightly his lips sat on a thin line and his body stuff. But still I couldn't stop the short curt laugh that slipped my lips.

"I didn't realize I had to ask for permission to leave," I growl his eyes darkening at my words.

Yanking my wrist out from his grip I spin on my heels middle finger high in the air as I marched away from him. I could feel him following me as I walked. His eyes burning into the back of my head causing a overwhelmingly strong anxiety to fall over me.

"You don't know who I am... Do you?"

I stopped. My mind began flicking through familiar faces trying to match him. Thinking more about it his face rung a bell in the back of my mind or more of an alarm.

"La Fratellanza. Non mi fai paura" i spit as he moved closer his body towering over me.
"Solo gli sciocchi non ci temono (only fools don't fear us)" his breath fanned against my face the hint of cigarettes lingering.

"then i guess I'm a fool"
