Beach Season

Chapter 6

You just heard Penelope screaming for Matt and you all drop everything and sprint towards the cabin.

Matt runs so fast no one can keep up.

You come around the corner and see Penelope standing with her back against the wall. Damien is standing really close to her, trapping her between his arms and the wall.

"MATT!!"

Damien has his face but an inch away from hers.

With a loud growl, Matt lunges at Damien and throws him to the ground.

Out of nowhere, Damien's friends come running up. None of them exceptionally tall or muscular so you know the guys got them even if there are five of them. They all look like twenty six year old frat boys with their polo's, khaki shorts and loafers.

Nate pulls Penelope behind him while Matt is fighting Damien. Well, pinning Damien to the floor, actually. The four others come running up, two of them jump on top of Matt while one swings at Nate and the other one goes after Elijah.

"MATT!!!!" Penelope screams.

Damien and two of his friends are taking on Matt. You've never seen Matt in such a rage. There's fire in his eyes and he looks fucking terrifying. He's clearly stronger and a better fighter but outnumbered by two.

He dodges most blows but gets a few punches in his face. It doesn't seem to stop him, quite the opposite, actually. It's only making him more furious. He treats one of the friends to a magnificent right hook, which makes him drop down on his knees like pudding.

Elijah and Nate kick the shit out of their opponents. They're really no match for any of the guys but being outnumbered makes it harder than it would normally go.

"Elijah, watch out!!"

The guy he's fighting grabs a stick from the ground and swings at Elijah. Elijah manages to avoid the hit, takes the stick from the guy and throws it away.

The guy turns to you. "Want me to shut you up, you little bitch?"

Ohh, you shouldn't have said that.

Elijah stops, looks at the dead man walking. His eyes darken with rage and you know he's about to inflict a lot of pain.

"What the fuck did you just say to my wife?"

Elijah squares his shoulders and balls his hands into fists. He towers over the "man" standing in front of him and looks down at him.

"What. Did you. Just. Say. To my. Wife?" He talks slow and with a deep and dominant voice. Before the idiot gets the chance to respond, Elijah grabs his shirt with one hand and buries his other fist in his face. Because he's holding the guy's shirt, he's able to hold him up and close by and he's turning the dude into a punching bag.

Elijah kicks his feet out from under him and presses the side of his face down in the sand. "Are you ready to apologize to my wife or do you need more convincing?" Elijah growls his words.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Suddenly the guys from the bachelor party come running up and pull the three guys Matt is fighting, off of him.

"PENELOPE, ARE YOU OKAY?"

"I'm okay!"

You, Penelope and Aria are standing at a safe distance. You're got your arms around Penelope and run your hands in a comforting way over her back.

Matt looks at Damien and tackles him again.

"I'm gonna fucking kill you! You messed with the wrong girl and the wrong boyfriend." Matt grabs Damien's blood and sand covered chin in his hand and squeezes hard. "Do I look like the guy you wanna mess with? Do my friends look like the people you wanna fuck with? Didn't think so."
