Chapter 26
Okay, chapter 26. Enjoy.
I don't own nuffink
Tris' POV
Me and Tobias pull up together at Zeke's, only to discover it quite calm. Only our friend group is there. I raise an eyebrow at Zeke. He shrugs.
"Thought I would keep it simple, but you had better watch out for the party I'll throw for winning the final!" he says. Oh no. I sit down, Tobias next to me. I quickly place myself in his lap. A minute later, everyone else has arrived, and we start with Bed wed or dead, instead or Truth or Dare. I guess for a change. Uriah starts.
"Okay! Zeke! Bed wed or dead, Chris, Marlene and Tris!" He says. Zeke looks uncertain as Tobias glares at him.
"Ummm. Well, dead Tris?" Zeke shrugs at Tobias, who smiles, satisfied. The silly boy.
"Wed Marlene and bed Chris," Zeke finishes. Fair enough. But now Zeke gets to choose. His eyes skim the circle, landing on Will.
"Bed wed or dead, me Four and Uriah!" He says triumphantly. Will shrugs.
"Dead you, we Uriah, bed Four." I glare, and he grins, before asking:
"Bed wed or dead, Chris, Four and Zeke," odd one, but it's pretty clear to everyone.
"Dead Chris, we Four, bed Zeke," I say. Christina looks at me like I'm crazy.
"What do you expect? Come on Chris!" I say, exasperated. If I can, I will only bed and wed guys.
"Now, Four, my good friend," I say. He smiles. "Bed wed or dead me Zeke and Uriah," I say. He pulls a face.
"Umm, well wed you, bed... Zeke, dead Uriah," he finishes with a flourish. Roughly what I guessed. Now it's Tobias' turn.
"Lets use people who aren't here," he says with a devilish grin. "Zeke, bed wed dead Eric, Peter and Molly." He pulls a face.
"I can't handle that. Can we forfeit?" we all look at each. Might as well. We all chorus:
"Yep," and Zeke whips off his shirt.
"Guys, this is kinda dull, can we go out somewhere?" asks Chris. She has a point, this isn't much fun.
"I agree, this is kinda dull," I say. Marlene and Uriah are nodding along, and I elbow Tobias. He starts nodding too.
"Well, I guess so. Let's go to that nearby club," says Zeke, giving in. He didn't put up much of a fight, surprisingly. Who cares though? We're headed out!
We make it to the club a minute later, chattering amongst ourselves. We walk in, to pounding music, sweaty bodies and alcohol. I feel the heavy bass of some dubstep vibrating through my feet, making me want to wiggle my feet. I grab Tobias' hand.
"Let's go dance!" I shout over the music. He nods and smiles, as we move to the dancefloor with Chris, Will, Zeke and Shauna. Marlene and Uriah slope off to the bar. We're all dancing around, jumping and having a great time to celebrate the team's recent win. Finally, we're all worn out, and me and Tobias head to a booth, where he sits down.
"I'm gonna go get a drink, want anything?" I ask him. He nods, smiling
"I'll have a beer!" He shouts over the music. I walk to the bar, strobe lights flitting over my body, my hips still swinging slightly to the music.
"I'll have two beers please!" I shout to the barman, who nods, and turns around, grabbing two bottles and spinning round again, in one swift movement. He pushes them across the bar to me, and I throw a fiver at him before heading back to where Tobias is sat. Halfway there, I see another girl leaning across the table, getting slightly close to him. I can see him trying ton push her away.
"I'm sorry, I came with someone, can you please leave me alone?" He manages awkwardly, sitting as far back in his chair as possible. I smirk, and walk over, clearing my throat.
"Go away, I'm busy with my date, the girl says over her shoulder. Oh hell no. She did not just say that.
"Nope, I came here with him, and can you not see he's uncomfortable?" She finally turns around.
"What, why would he come here with you?" she asks. I narrow my eyes.
"Because he loves her?" Tobias pipes up from his seat. I smile at him.
"Bullcrap!" She shouts. "You are just a 12-year-old! Who do you think you are?" I cock my head at her. She can't work out when to leave, huh? I smirk, throwing her off, before slamming a fist into the side of her head. She crumples, and I spit on her before pushing her away and sitting beside Tobias. He grins at me.
"Nice moves Trissy," he says. I grin back
"Well, I thought you might need some help Toby," I reply. He smirks, and we continue flirting and kissing in our booth until Chris turns up, tugging at my arm.
"We're going home," she said. Good plan. I look at Tobias, who nods. I turn back to Chris.
"Alright, we might as well go with you," I say. We stand up, and cross the dancefloor, to get to the door, but Tobias and me are stopped by an arm, which flies up, in the way. The man it's attached to now comes into the light. I don't recognise him, and nor does Tobias. But we do recognise the two who come up on his right and left. Al and Peter, smiling maliciously.
"Wow, what do you want," I spit at the man in front of us. But I am uneasy, he's too confident. I see a glint at his belt. A knife. Upon closer inspection, Peter and Al do too. Tobias notices this, beside me, as he stiffens ever so slightly. But now the man is responding.
"I am James. And you have lost me a lot of money," Oh, it's someone from the gambling crowd. And it seems he's found some people to help him attack us. No way can I beat him, but I can already see Zeke, Uriah and Will fast approaching, even if Zeke is stumbling a little. They come up behind our little 'friends', and headlock them. Well, Will and Uriah do. Zeke stumbles at the last second and James spins round, slashing Zeke across the cheek. He collapses, but Uriah and Will are still ok, despite Uriah and Shauna's joint cries of dismay. Tobias begins to advance on James, but, he's already spun round, slashing Will's hand, leaving a small gash, but still one big enough to cause his grip to loosen and to let Peter spring free. Tobias faces off James, and I realise the dancefloor has been evacuated, and there is a wide circle of people watching us. Not important right now, I think, as James advances on Tobias, and Peter on Uriah, yet Will has stumbled forward, grabbing him by his collar and throwing him backwards, onto the floor. Will leaps on top of him, punching him in the face repeatedly, mercilessly.
Uriah throws Al down, and knocks him out with Peter. He quickly moves to Zeke, whose cheek appears to be fully slashed through, to form a second mouth. Oh god. The girls advance on them, but James and Tobias are still circling each other. James throws the first punch, but Tobias dodges, kicks his guts and knees him in the face. He reels back, surprised and clearly dizzy. Tobias goes for a quick knockout, but James has lashed out with the knife and Tobias jumps back, the blade swinging where his head previously was. But now, instead of advancing on Tobias, he goes towards me. He grabs me, spins me round and holds the knife to my throat.
Ooooh, fight! Well, that was chapter 26! Enjoy the sort-of cliffhanger? Thanks for reading, etc. few things, one: supernatural stuff. One guest has said no to it, two or three people have said yes, so it will most likely happen as I also want to do, but I am still open to suggestions at what supernatural creatures they should become etc. Also, quick second shoutout to AmitySwiftie for all the extra reviews, they make anyone, especially me, feel a lot better. Moving on, please do review, when you don't it's like making a garden and not knowing if you're doing it right, but trying anyway. Thanks for all support and similar, and also note I'm not trying to get people to say nice things about my stories in their reviews, just to tell me what they like so I can improve the content. Just said that to get rid of any comments on that front. Thanks again.
Toodle Pip!
