Immortal protector

Chapter five

I start to feel water droplets hit my face, as if someone is dunking me in cold water. I try and regain focus but my eyelids feel heavy and my head is pounding. So I listen carefully to hear anything. I realize that I am moving and someone is caring me by the feel of their strong arms. That doesn't last long when I am lowered to what feels like a cold wooden table. "Tyrone! Tyrone!" I hear a door open and light foot steps, and an older sounding man. "Yes yes I'm coming" silence overcomes for a moment. "Oh dear.. What is she doing here Darek?" Darek I think to myself why does that name sound familiar. " I'm sorry but there has been a change of plans, I found her being almost kidnapped by raven and some if his men talking about their boss having some kind if interest in her." I hear more scuffling of shoes. "Yes yes of course, we knew this was going to happen, I just didn't think so soon. It's a good thing you got to her when you did, or she may have been dead." I feel one of them move a piece of my hair out of my face. A younger sounding voice comes in again. "I didn't know where else to take her, I didn't want to lead raven and his men Right to my place, so I thought here would be the safest." "Yes well.. Bring her in the back of the room, there's a bed where she can lay in until she wakes, which hopefully will be soon." The old man Tyrone says. I feel the strong arm wrap around me again and is being lifted to the room, I remain still to try and get more information. I feel the rough feeling of used old sheets and pillows, and a blanket pulled over me. "I'll be right back to fetch some warm water and you can wash her up. I'll also bring you extra blankets and pillow for you to sleep on the floor for the night." Few minutes later I feel the cloth being rubbed on my face and neck. A warm flicker of light shines through my eyelids, as if we are in a dark cottage somewhere. Sleep is about to consume once more when I hear him speak. "I will protect you Emma, even if my life depends on it." I go to open my eyes to take a look at who this darek man is.

Beep! beep! beep!

What the hell is that awful noise. I peel my eyelids open, and roll onto my back, when I realize it's my alarm clock going off. I grab my phone and hit the off button and lay it over me. I turn my head to look outside and see that it is grey sky's and raining. Oh great I think to myself. And in have to walk in that. I sit up and get out of bed, I quickly fix my sheets and blankets making it look neat and tidy. I grab my work clothes and throw them on, and run a brush through my hair. I walk out to the kitchen to grab an apple, I see that Mac is still sleeping, and I slip out the front door preparing myself for the rainy cold day ahead. I arrive at work with more then enough time to spare, getting ready for another busy weekend at the coffee bean. I pull on my apron and start my day sending a quick hi to John, Amber, and sandy. Half way through my shift it started to slow down, I help myself to a cup of water and scan around the cafe. My eyes stop on a man sitting outside on the patio set underneath the big umbrellas just sitting with his phone in hand, I notice he keeps glancing at me once in a while, I get a shock of unease but shake it off. I think my lack if sleep is starting to get to me.

Later that afternoon my shift finally ends, I go to the back and grab my stuff and check my phone. I see I missed two text messages from Mac saying to get ready when I get home and her and Ben will pick me up at 9. I also missed a phone call from my boss Maggie. I scrunch my nose up wondering why she called me. It's unlike her to especially when she knew I worked today.

I return the call, after two rings she picks up. "Hi Emma, how are you?" I start walking back home and smile to myself, I love my boss, she's like a mother to me. "Hi Maggie, I'm fine. Just finished work. I noticed I missed a call from you and was just returning it. Is everything fine?" I hear a slight cough. "Oh yes dear everything is fine, just feeling a little under the weather the last couple of days due to the rain. Anyways I just wanted to let you know that I'll be leaving to England tomorrow to see my mother, she's not doing so good, so I'm going to be taking care of her for a little while. And that sandy will be taking over the coffee bean for a bit until I'm gone, so you will have to talk to her about any changes in shifts." I frown through the phone feeling concerned. "I'm really sorry to hear that Maggie, I hope your mom is okay." I hear shuffling in the background. "Well she's getting up there in her old age, but I'm sure it's nothing to serious, but time will only tell. Anyways dear Iv got to run I'll talk to you soon, bye." "Bye" I say as I reach my apartment building.

Before I knew it, it was 8:39 I was doing the last touch ups to my outfit and hair. I chose to be simple and put on my long sleeved tight black dress that reached mid thigh, and wore my hair down in lose long curls. Iv always got compliments on my hair because of it's unique natural colour. I was born with fair skin, green eyes, and dark reddish brown hair with light and dark red high lights. Where as my friend Mac is the opposite she has medium length blonde hair and blue eyes. I go to sit on the couch when my phone chimes.

*Hey girl, we are just leaving now to come and get you. We should be there by 9. So wait for us outside. C u soon.

*okay c u soon to

I put my phone I'm my hand bag and grabbed my long dress coat, and headed down to the lobby to wait for Mac and Ben to arrive. 10 minutes later I hopped into the back if bens car and met a guy names Kyle who was also in the back. We parked around the block and walked the rest of the way to our destination called the upstairs club. We paid our fee of $4 admission and went straight in. The music was loud but good, and it was already crowded with tipsy people and slutty dancers, the men found a table for us near the back away from the dance floor right near the bar, which was lucky for us. We all order a pitcher of beer to share to start off with, Mac and Ben are already in a conversation with each other about something. I look over to Kyle and introduce myself since I didn't in the car, "hi I'm Emma" I say and out my hand out, he takes it with delight and introduces himself as Kyle. "Iv heard a lot about you Emma since Ben and Mac have met, you seems to be what Mac always talks about." I take a small sip of my beer and give a small smile, "yeah well what can I say, I'm her favourite person." He grins. "yes I can see why." And winks at me. "I give a little giggle not really liking where his mind is going but brush it off as nothing. We all finally fall into a good conversation and the drinks start to flow more easily. I start to feel the effects of the alcohol through my body and my mood lifts to a more bubbly side of me, I look over at Mac to see the same. She grabs my hand and stands up. "Excuse us gentlemen but me and my girl are going to dance are butts off." Ben and Kyle just shake there heads and go back to drinking and talking.

Mackenzie and I start moving to the beat of the music, because if the couple of drinks Iv had I start to let loose more and just go with it. Mac and I start dancing together and shaken our stuff and laughing due to our buzzed feeling. I turn around so that my back is facing Mac. I feel a pair of unfamiliar strong arms around my waste, I turn my head to see that it's Kyle, and he's smiling down at me, why placing his hands on my lower hips, moving to the rhythm with me. I look to the side and see that Ben has Mac as well. I start to feel a strange pulling sensation in the pit of my stomach and assume it's the alcohol. I don't want to give Kyle the wrong impression, but it is dancing so I let it go. I start to get lost in the music and dancing with Kyle, he pulls me closer against his front so that we are grinding, everyone dancing is covered in sweat. We dance like this for a few minutes and my mouth goes dry, I need a drink. I turn around and make the sign for thirsty and agrees and we go up to the bar, I see Mac and Ben walk back to out table, so Kyle orders another a pitcher of beer and join our table as well. I sit down next to Mac and she leans in. "I'm see you having a good time dancing with Kyle." I roll my eyes but don't show it. "I guess so, he seems nice, and he's not to pushy." We look over at him and he smirks like he knows we're talking about him, we both smile sweetly back. "Ben says Kyle is doing an internship as a contractor, that's pretty impressive." I internally groan, Mackenzie just doesn't get it, I'm not interested. "I.. Ah got to use the washroom then I think I'm going to taxied back home early. I have an early morning." I say to Mac, she frowns at me knowing I'm cutting the night short do to other reasons, but doesn't argue. "Okay Emma, be safe and text me when you get home." I stand up and grab my purse, "what about you Mac what are you going to do?" I say putting my coat on, "I'm going to stay the night at bens and go to work tomorrow from his place." I kiss her cheek, then look over at Kyle who looks a little disappointed. " thanks for the dance as well Kyle." He nods in acknowledgment " anytime Emma, maybe there will be a next time." I just smile and say goodnight to everyone.
