Chapter 4

Two days later, it was a dark night. It was too late for Zara to be out; there she was coming out of a coffee shop at midnight. It wasn't like her to be roaming the streets at midnight. She knew better but sometimes she had to. It was just one of those things that you had to do once in a while.

Zara came out of the coffee shop. A tall drunken guy was leaning against the wall outside the coffee shop. He whistled as he took in her stunning black dress and silver heels. She felt her skin crawling with spiders as his eyes raked over her body.

Zara cursed herself for not bringing a coat. She cursed herself for presuming that she would get a lift home. Zara felt like her brain was running through a maze and hitting all the dead ends. She did not know what to do. In swift movements the drunken man was now an inch away from her. His hands travelled along the sides of her arms. Her reflexes took over. There was no reigning in her pissed off demon. How dare he touch her? She swung a punch in the stomach. That was all it took for him to go flying. But the man refused to give up, he was determined to take her home.

Emmett was passing the area and he noticed Zara standing outside the coffee shop. Emmett glared at the man standing in front of her. Zara noticed Emmett and gasped. His glare made her blood freeze; it was the look of a determined killer. He approached Zara. She noticed that the man had fled to safety, which is far, far away from here. She stepped back and realised that she was against the wall. He finally spoke, "What are you doing here at this freakin' time?"

"I was visiting someone," Zara managed to say.

"Who?" asked Emmett. She did not respond but Emmett continued, "Can't that someone meet you at an earlier time? Have you even seen what time it is?"

If it weren't for the look, the closeness and possessiveness of his voice definitely scared her. The mind numbing fear had gripped her. Emmett stopped shouting and realised that she was scared. He shook off his jacket and helped her into it.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have scared you. That look was not for you it was for him. But seriously why are you here at this time?" sighed Emmett. She did not reply again. He sighed and began opening the door to his car. He opens it but she doesn't get in.
