Chapter 11: Fury

Arlo's hand felt like a scalding grill wrapped around Lily's wrist. "Has he always been this hot? Literally!?" Lily quickly thought. She was brought back to her senses when she felt herself being pulled forward and falling against Arlo's chest. Lily dug her heels into the ground. "Wait Arlo!? You don't understand!" Lily shouted. Arlo was so overcome with anger he wasn't listening. Lily opened her mouth again to speak when she heard something behind her, almost like the growl of an animal. Finn stepped forward and released Arlo's hand like it was nothing. The quick action made Arlo stumble backwards and that just pissed him off more. Finn pushed Lily behind him like he was her protector. "She said wait." Finn growled. Lily didn't know whether to feel excited for the passion or afraid. She glanced at the big window and saw passerby's stopping and gathering to watch like they just got the jackpot. "I know what you are trash. " Arlo gnashed his teeth together while his words escaped his mouth. "Don't lay your filthy hands on her." "She is mine." Arlo stated. Finn smiled. He was excited to fight someone like Arlo. His eyes were filled with bloodlust. Lily felt that the air in that testosterone filled room could be cut with a knife. Lily ran between them. "Stop it! You're both embarrassing me!" Lily looked at both of them with tears in her eyes and ran out the door. "Wait Lily!" They both cried in unison. Lily pushed her way through the crowd and ran far away to a part of the town she had yet to discover.

Lily's feet were killing her. She was so upset and stressed out by so many faces gathered outside to watch two boys fight over her. She had ran so long and fast she was lost. She turned another corner and sat down on a bench and noticed it was against the last building on the block. After that she saw a dirt road going into the woods. "I can not believe they acted that way!? She thought. I am allowed to have friends damn..." Lily glanced up and looked at her surroundings. This part of town looked alot poorer than where she is living with Arlo. She had this bad feeling in her gut like she was being watched and it made her very weary. Lily's intuition was strong and always right, she never disagreed with her gut. She felt eyes on her so she stood up nonchalant and turned to head back into town when she felt a strong pair of hands grab her arm. She turned her head to see two large men standing there smirking at her. "Look what we have here.." the man said happily. Lily struggled to get his hand off of her and was finally able to shake him off when she turned to run there was a third man standing in front of her. Lily eyes filled with dread. She may have been able to take on two of them but three!? "Think Lily. You have to get yourself out of this." Lily was determined to fight no matter the cost. " Hello gorgeous." The third man reeked of blood and alcohol.
