"Wow, I can see why you like this club so much. It's amazing." Amara said as she looked around the club. The walls were a metallic red, with black curtains and drapes in places. There was a large red-y yellow dance floor and dark red booths around the walls. Johnny placed his hand on the small of her back and led her to one of the empty booths and went over to the bar to get some drinks. As soon as Johnny had left Amara's side a guy came over to her.
"Hey there," a deep voice said. Amara looked up and gasped. The guy was breath taking. He had dark spiky hair at the top of his head, but the rest was shaved and he had mesmerizing blue eyes. Amara felt her cheeks heat up.
"Hi," she managed to say.
"My name's Chris, what's yours?"
"I'm Amara. It's nice to meet you." Amara replied and smiled at Chris.
"I saw you were with that torch guy? You two together?" He asked.
"Yes we are, now back off," Johnny said as he came back to the booth. Amara looked up at Johnny, she was shocked, annoyed by what he had just said, but a part of her was unmistakably happy about it.
"I find that hard to believe." Chris replied as he turned back to Amara. "You wanna dance?" Before Amara had chance to reply she felt Johnny's lips upon hers. After a moment of surprise she started kissing him back. Meeting fire with fire, or in this case passion. She was disappointed that as quickly as the kiss had started, it was over.
"Proof enough?" Johnny asked as he turned back to Chris, smirking. Chris just walked away looking pissed off.
"Johnny…what, why did you do that?" Amara asked.
"I thought it would be fun." He said and winked, Amara blushed.
"And was it?" She asked playfully.
"Not bad." Johnny replied.
"Not bad? That's all I get?" She said, then she laughed as she realised what was happening. He was playing with her, quoting their earlier conversation. "Well, Mr Storm, how about this time?" She said as she leaned over and kissed him. She started off kissing him lightly, but it turned more passionate quickly. She pulled away and grinned as she saw Johnny's expression.
"I'm gonna go dance, care to join me?" She flirted as he favourite song, for the moment anyway she thought, 'Since u been gone' by Kelly Clarkson came on, she smiled as she realised it was the club mix. Without a seconds hesitation Johnny leapt up and followed her to the dance floor. They spent the rest of the evening grinding, drinking and chatting. At 1 am they finally decided to leave the club, hobbling out of the club and into a deserted alleyway.
"Well, well, well, look who's here guys." Said a voice to the right of them. They whipped around to see who had spoken.
"You!" Amara shouted, it was the group of masks that had attacked the store a few days ago. "Johnny go get the others."
"I am not leaving you." It was a statement.
"Johnny, you can flame over there, ive seen how fast you can fly; now please hurry, we're to drunk to win this on our own." She begged. Johnny stared at her for a minute then slowly nodded.
"Flame on," he shouted. He flew into the air and was gone from sight after a few seconds.
"You boy toys abandoned you. Its touching how much he cares about you." The leader mask said sarcastically. "His loss really, losing a beauty such as yourself." He added. Amara felt like she was going to be sick. "Well, again I say you made it easy for us. Now you're alone and defenceless." Not for long…I hope. She thought. I just have to keep they occupied.
"I wouldn't say im defenceless." She said, inwardly she wished she'd had time to practise her powers more.
"Oh and why's that?" Amara just smiled, she gathered her power, she casually flicked her arm. Her smile broadened as she watched the masks fly across the alley way and hitting the opposite wall.
"You just wait," one of the masks called. "You'll end up like your parents, if you don't come willingly." He sneered. Amara's smile fell and she started shaking uncontrollably, her anger, sadness and fear mixing until she couldn't distinguish them.
She was just about to shout a comeback when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned quickly; ready to throw the people into a wall if necessary. She silently rejoiced at the sight. Her friends had come to save her. Reed, Sue and Ben rushed into the alley.
"Amara, you ok?" Sue asked as she ran over to the shaking girl. "Sweety, you're shaking." Sue stated.
"Looks like you've sorted this problem out for now; let's get you out of here." Reed said.
"Where's Johnny?" Amara asked.
"We made him stay at home, had too much to drink, just like you im guessing." Sue said soothingly, with a hint of disapproving.
"Save the shouting for later, please" Amara replied. "Just take me home." She asked. The others nodded and walked home.
