Evermore and Ari both unfroze from their laidback positions and got into a more alert stance that would allow them to fight or defend within a moments notice. Everyone mimicked them, not knowing what else to do at the moment.
"Ari," with one word Evermore had already instructed him what to do. He immediately leaped to the other side of the room to stand guard in front of the others.
Suddenly a dark feeling spread throughout the room…something was here and it wasn't good.
"Ev where is he?" Ari murmured. But Evermore gave him no reply, she seemed to be concentrating on something, her eyes kept darting all over the room. Only Ari knew what she was really doing. She was looking for a shift or blur in their surroundings to indicate where their intruder was currently located.
In a flash, Evermore's boy tensed but she was a millisecond to slow. Everyone noticed how she had tried to jump away from her spot but then in the next moment it appeared she was being bound by some invisible force.
In a surprisingly calm, collected voice Evermore introduced her captor, "Hello Fang."
Everyone watched as Future Fang came into existence. He, like Evermore, looked different to their present counterparts. Future Fang had longish, shaggy hair. (Imagine Harry's hair in Goblet of Fire.) But instead of being its normal pitch black, there were now silver-white streaks running through. His eyes were still dark brown but they had a tint of gold here and there. His still all black clothing emphasized his athletic body. He had the same muscularity as Ari but he was just a bit taller.
Anyways…
"Hello Max," intoned Future Fang in a dull monotone. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your company?" Everyone watched in awe as the two managed to have a civil conversation while Fang was trapping her from behind with his arms circled around her waist keeping her arms pinned.
It almost resembled a lover's embrace but everyone knew better. He was prohibiting her arms from having any movement and if that wasn't enough to keep her peaceful then the possible threat of broken ribs surely would.
Future Fang gave a dry chuckle, "Why bother lying about enjoying my company when you know how terrible you are at it." Something flashed in Evermore's eyes, "Oh right I forgot you always were the better liar weren't you Fangy?"
Before responding Future Fang leaned up against the wall, forcing Evermore to back up with him. "As much as I would love to continue this entertaining banter with you, I'm here for a specific reason."
"Oh yeah what's that?"
There was a dramatic pause before he spoke again, "I'm here for Ella."
