Chapter 5
"Hey Raven." Jerelyn greet Raven when she rejoined them at the table.
"They haven't come back yet?" Raven asked sitting down beside Lizette.
"No." Lizette fumed.
Tabitha started coming out of her daydream. 'If the bar had been less crowded the girl would be hurting by now.' She thought. She pushed her thoughts away, and watched and listened to the girls.
"Where's Kate?" Raven asked noticing the girl was gone.
"She went to get something to drink. She was thirsty after that lip lock." Lizette laughed.
"Hey! I heard that!" Kate exclaimed rejoining them. "What did I miss?"
Jerelyn replied noticing the blonde watching them.
The more Jerelyn watched the older blonde girl she noticed it was Raven she was eyeing. 'What is she? Some kind of sick pervert?' She thought. She looked at Raven, who was keeping an eye on the back door.
"So going to go home with Caleb tonight?" Lizette asked.
Jerelyn blushed. "Maybe."
The other girls squealed, and caught the attention from the tables around them.
"Shh!" Jerelyn said really embarrassed now.
"Dance with me Raven." Aaron Abbott said appearing beside her and starting to caress her arm.
"No Aaron." Raven said pulling her arm away from him.
"Oh come on!" He said grabbing her arm and pulling her up into his arms.
"Let me go!" She exclaimed trying to get away from him.
"No! When are you going to wise up and let a real man take care of you?" Aaron asked.
"Like you're a real man!" Raven hissed.
"Let her go Aaron." Lizette said getting up from her seat.
"Raven's going to dance with me!" He said laughing.
"Let her go!" An angry voice said from behind them.
"Going to make me Archer?" Aaron taunted.
"Yes." Michael answered stepping forward.
"You think I'm afraid of you?" Aaron asked.
"No, but you should be." Michael said crossing his arms.
Raven struggled against Aaron, who suddenly pulled her roughly up against him, and kissed her. She gagged at the taste of the liquor on him. The next thing she knew she was laying on the floor, and Michael was beating the shit out of Aaron. Somebody lifted her up from behind.
"You all right Rave?" Chandler Wainwright asked.
"I think…" She covered her mouth with her hand, and started toward the bathroom, but only made it a few feet, before she fell to her knees, and was throwing up all on the floor. She felt someone pull her hair back, and start to rub her back just like her mother used to do.
"Are you all right sis?" Ryder asked pulling her back into his arms.
"Yes." She said.
Lizette and Jerelyn looked at one another. 'Aaron's not through with her you know that don't you?' Lizette sent to Jerelyn. 'Yea I figured. No matter what the Sons or the Masters deal out to him, he'll be back till he get what he wants!' Jerelyn sighed.
Raven looked around and saw Michael and Rayne dragging Aaron away.
"Why wont' he leave me alone?" Raven asked.
"Have you looked in a mirror lately?" Matthew Archer asked shaking his head.
Ryder glared at him as he helped Raven to her feet. "You want me to take you home?" He asked her.
"I came with Tyler." She said looking toward the back door again seeing Michael and Rayne disappear through it.
"Where is he then?" Ryder asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Out back fighting." She said.
Ryder was pissed. "Come on we're going home." He grabbed her arm, but let go when she cried out in pain. He looked at her arm, and saw the bruises forming on it.
"Who the hell done this?" He seethed.
"Aaron Abbot." Lizette answered him.
"Bloody hell!" Ryder exclaimed. "Why didn't you use on him?"
"I'm not going to expose us!" She said lowering her voice as Ryder had done.
"Let me take you home." He said.
"No! I came with Tyler. I'll leave with him!" She said just as angry now.
"Aaron's gone now Ryder." Chandler said. "She'll be fine. Let's go play pool like we came here to do."
Ryder sighed before walking away.
"Cya Rave." Chandler said following him. "Girls." He acted like he was flipping his hat.
"Bye Chandler." Lizette said.
"He's cute!" Kate gushed getting dirty looks from the other girls. Matthew laughed following after his friends.
"What?" Asked Kate.
"Pogue." Lizette said matter of factly.
Kate laughed. "I can look, but not touch!"
Raven gave her a disgusted look. She'd grown up with all of them, and they we're like brothers to her. She thought of Shane, and wondered how she'd ever dated him. She shook her head sitting down wondering about Tyler.
"Come on Tyler wake up!" Caleb begged the younger boy who was out cold.
There had been six to the four of them. Two of them had jumped at Tyler right away taking him out.
"This is all you're fault Reid!" Pogue said glaring at him.
"I know it." Reid said quietly holding Tyler in his arms.
Pogue looked at Caleb shocked. Reid had always talked his way out of the blame before. They realized he wasn't as reckless as he used to be. The back door opening caught their attention. They looked to see Michael and Rayne literally throwing Aaron Abbott out in the alley.
Michael noticed the sons before Rayne. His eyes fell on Tyler passed out on the ground and he sighed. He nudged Rayne as Marcus came up behind the, and nodded his head toward the sons.
"Well what do we have here?" Rayne asked heading over to them. He noticed their faces realizing they had been fighting. His eyes fell on Tyler, and he shook his head.
"Jesus! He's out here passed out while Abbot here was mauling my sister. Some boyfriend he is!" He snarled.
Caleb, Pogue, and Reid glared at him. "Is she all right?" Reid asked.
"No thanks to him! If it hadn't of been for Michael getting there in time."
"It's my fault! Not Tyler's!" Reid said hanging his head. "I was the one they we're pissed at."
Rayne sighed. He was still pissed, but he went and healed Tyler's wounds. A few minutes later Tyler groggily came to.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Two of them gotcha baby brother." Reid said. "I'm sorry Tyler."
"It's not you're fault Reid. It was my choice to come out here. You didn't force me!" He said.
He looked up to see Caleb and Pogue watching him concerned. Rayne Downing though was glaring down at him. Standing a few feet behind him were Michael and Marcus.
A moan came from across the alley drawing their attention. Tyler was confused seeing Aaron laying there. They hadn't been fighting him. Just some of his friends.
"What happened to him?" He asked getting up with help from Caleb.
He noticed his brothers avoid his eye. Rayne though glared at him and informed him.
"Why you were out here fighting. Aaron made a pass you're girl Simms. My sister! If it hadn't of been for Michael getting there in time…" He left it hanging.
"Is she all right?" Tyler asked in alarm.
"No thanks to you!" Rayne exclaimed.
Marcus put a hand on Rayne's shoulder. "Come on man just let it go!"
Rayne shrugged it off, but he threw one last glare at Tyler, and went back inside. Michael and Marcus turned to follow him back inside. Michael flipped his hand and Aaron flew into the trash bags sitting by the dumpster.
"Might as well finish taking out the trash." He quipped.
Marcus laughed as they disappeared into the building. Tyler followed them in as they heard sirens heading toward Nicky's. Caleb, Pogue, and Reid hurried after them.
Raven sat at the table sipping a coke and staring into space. Her stomach was still churning. She was worried about Tyler though, and avoiding the waitress's glare as she cleaned up the mess on the floor.
"Here they come." Lizette announced glaring at the back door.
Her glare turned into a frown of concern when she saw how bad they looked. She watched Tyler hurry to Raven's side and squat down beside her.
"You all right Raven?" Tyler asked.
"Not really. Can we head back to the dorms now please?" She asked him.
"Sure." He said hugging her.
"I'm ready to go also." Lizette said her gaze on Reid whose right eye was starting to swell and turn black.
"I'm ready to go also." He said glancing at Tyler with concern in his eyes. "You sure you're all right to drive Tyler?"
Lizette didn't say anything, but she wondered what happened. She looked over at Jerelyn who Caleb was helping put her coat on. Tyler stood up and was a little dizzy. He looked at Raven. She was pale and not to with it.
"Give me your keys." Reid said holding out his hand. "I'll leave my truck here, and drive everyone back."
Tyler reached in his pocket and pulled out his keys handing them to Reid. Lizette looked up as the door opened, and she saw some cops walking in. She waved her hand shutting her eyes, putting an illusion on the guys hiding the proof they had been fighting.
Tabitha was sitting back enjoying the show. She'd loved it when the boy had gone after Raven. 'Interesting.' She thought seeing the boys heal before her eyes. It was the redhead who had hid her eyes, and waved her hand. Hell she'd found a whole coven of witches!
A boy sitting across the room saw the blonde girl sitting alone. He started. She was the spitting image of his mother. He pulled out his billfold and looked at his only family picture he had from when he was one. His mother was holding him, and his father was holding his brother Devin. Standing between them was his older brother Evan and his sister Tabitha was holding Evan's hand. Was that little girl from the picture the girl sitting across the room? He looked back up and to his dismay she was gone. He quickly excused himself from his friends and headed home to talk to his brothers.
