A Not so Wicked Paradise

CHP 26: Frypan

Elizabeth and I took off running towards the sound of Minho's voice. We came across a bloodied Minho on the floor with Jack and his goons surrounding him. 

"Get the hell away from him!" I shouted.

They turned towards me. Jack chuckled. 

"Nothing to worry about guys, it's just Frypan and his girlfriend." He said.

I blushed and avoided Elizabeth's eyes. I took a step forward. I balled my hand into a fist. 

"Leave him alone, Jack." I said with as much bravery as I could muster.

"Yeah? What if I don't huh? What are you going to do? Fight me? You could never win." Jack sneered.

I grit my teeth in anger. Jack turned towards Minho, who wasn't moving. I think he was passed out. My stomach turned over. Jack made to give Minho a kick in the head when I lunged forward and tackled Jack to the ground. I began punching him in the face when Chris pulled me off of him and threw me to the side. I landed painfully on my arm, but I got up again facing the men. 

"Like I said, leave him alone." I told them.

Jack got up from the ground and spit blood out. He wiped his lips and glared at me.

He was definitely pissed off now.

"Keep Frypan occupied while I finish off Minho." He ordered Ivan and Chris. Jack pulled out a pocket knife from his back pocket and turned to Minho. 

"No!" I yelled out. I rushed towards Minho but Ivan and Chris blocked my way. 

"Get out of the way." Elizabeth said, walking up next to me.

Chris and Ivan laughed. Elizabeth proceeded to kick Ivan in the groin and he fell to the floor with a shriek. I tackled Chris to the ground.

"Save Minho!" I shouted at Elizabeth. She nodded and ran towards Jack, who was about to stab Minho in the stomach. She tackled him to the floor, grabbed the pocket knife from the ground and threw it as far as she could. With a help she was flipped over by Jack, now above her. He wrapped his hands around her throat and began to squeeze. 

Meanwhile I wrestled with Chris on the ground. He managed to pin me down and was squeezing the air out of my lungs, choking me. I grabbed at his hands, his head, trying to get him to release me to no avail. I spotted a rock out of the corner of my eye. I grabbed it with my right hand and smashed it into the side of Chris' face. He yelped in pain and let me go, grabbing at his wound. I kicked him off me and made towards Elizabeth, who was struggling under Jack. With a yell I pulled Jack off of her and kicked him in the face, as hard as I could. Jack fell to the ground writhing in pain. I knelt at Elizabeth's side.

"Are you okay?" I asked, worried sick. 

She gasped for air and clutched her throat. She nodded and waved me away.

"Check on Minho, I'm fine." She croaked. 

I made my way over to Minho. I checked his pulse, thankfully he was still alive. He was just passed out. I turned towards Jack, Chris and Ivan. They were all starting to get up again. I looked at Elizabeth, who was still catching her breath from the ground. 

This was not good. We needed more help. Elizabeth and I couldn't take on all three of them at once. I rose to my feet and faced them, ready to fight for my friends.
