Eclipse
Texting.
It started last night and started again this morning. Amelia told me that Arc wasn't coming home last night, but refused to tell me why. Thankfully this morning she was giving me some answers. She told me Lancelot did something. That was her last text. I haven't responded yet.
Me: What exactly did Lancelot do?
Amelia: He assaulted her.
Me: What the hell does that mean?
Amelia: He tried to put his hands in her clothes as he forcefully kissed her.
Me: What? That didn't go further did it? Is she alright?
Amelia: Octavius was there and he saved her from that creep
Me: That bastard
Amelia: Yeah, I just wanted to let you know in case Arc doesn't tell you
I was furious. I got up off my bed and began to throw my black clothes and jewelry on. I was going to go and find Lancelot.
Amelia: You still there Eclipse? Don't do anything bad. Arc doesn't want that.
"I don't care." I mumbled as I got ready. "Arcadia is practically a sister to me. No one does anything to her and gets away with it." I picked up my phone again, but didn't text. I called my boyfriend/soulmate, Rellic.
"Hello Eclipse." Rellic said, answering almost instantly, like he knew I was going to call.
"I need you to come and pick me up." I said quickly.
"Why?"
"There is a creepy jackass that I need to murder." I responded, like it was the most normal thing.
"Alright, sure. I'll be over in a second." Rellic hung up and so did I. I smiled. It was amazing how he just goes along with whatever I say. He's surprisingly supportive of even murder. How awesome is he?
"I'm glad Arc's soulmate saved her. Maybe she can be happy like Rellic and I are." I mumbled. Rellic showed up a few minutes after he hung up the phone. When I left the apartment with my purse, I saw he was driving his new 2015 black Camaro.
"Where are we going?" Rellic asked once I got in his car.
"Let's go to the coffeehouse. He's there all the time." I said as Rellic sped away. I told him all that Amelia told me on our way. Once we got to the coffeehouse, we saw that Lancelot was there at the counter like usual. We walked up to him instantly.
"Hello Eclipse and Rellic." Lancelot said, with a smile on his face. I wanted to punch him right then and there, but that would be bad.
"Can we talk to you outside?" I asked, quietly.
"Sure. Nick watch the counter!" Lancelot yelled to the teenager. He then led us outside behind the coffeehouse. "What is this about?"
"You tried to force yourself on my best friend!" I snapped. Rellic put his hand on my shoulder.
"Oh, you heard about that?" Lancelot said, as if it was a totally normal thing.
"Yes I heard about that you jackass!" I growled. He just smiled before responding.
"I'm glad Octavius intervened. I have a feeling that she wouldn't do very well in bed. She didn't fight me as much as I hoped."
"You bastard!" I moved forward, but Rellic pulled me back.
"Is there a problem? Maybe I should try with you. You seem like you'd be a fighter." Lancelot smirked. Before I could speak, Rellic punched Lancelot, right in the face. The blonde man stumbled backwards, but stayed on his feet. His nose was clearly broken now.
"No one should talk to a woman like that, and you sure as hell won't say that to my girl." Rellic said to Lancelot. Rellic was angry now, which was worse than when I got angry.
"So you mean I shouldn't talk to you like that?" Lancelot was commenting on Rellic's long black hair. Before Rellic could do anything, I stepped forward and hit Lancelot. This time, the man fell to the ground. Before anyone could speak, or Lancelot could get off the ground, someone else came out of the back of the coffeehouse.
"You hit him didn't you?" The three of us turned to see Arcadia.
"Arc!" I rushed over to her. "Are you alright?" I was fussing over her, pulling her arms and moving her to check for marks.
"I'm fine Eclipse!" she slapped my hands away. She always did have a no touching thing. I explained to her what we did and she glared at us.
"I know you didn't want me to do something but-" I was cut off by Lancelot's laughter. Arc pushed past me to go to Lancelot. She was furious, I could tell.
"How dare you laugh! You are a worthless creep! Who tries to force themselves on a girl? I don't care if you thought I was your soulmate or not! You don't try to fucking force them to do shit!" Arcadia was nearly in tears. Lancelot, bleeding from the nose, just laughed.
"Oh well-" Was all Lancelot got to say, before Arc pounced on him. She punched him again and again, until Rellic got a hold of her. He dragged her off of Lancelot and restrained her.
"If you mess with another woman, I'll be back with my twin brother to teach you another lesson." Rellic threatened the bloody man. Lancelot groaned and whimpered.
"Come on, we need to go." I said pulling my best friend and boyfriend away. We quickly left and Rellic and I got into his car, as Arcadia got into her car. We quickly drove to Arc's and my apartment. When we got out of the car, Arc chuckled nervously.
"We better not get our asses arrested. I can't afford that again." Arc told Rellic and I, as the three of us entered the apartment.
"I know Arc." I laughed, but also hoped we wouldn't get arrested. When we sat down, I looked at the last text Amelia sent.
Amelia: You still there Eclipse? Don't do anything bad. Arc doesn't want that.
Me: Everything is alright. Don't worry.
Alright for us, not Lancelot, but I won't tell her that. She'll find out soon enough.
