Beautiful Tyrant

**..**..**..**..**

A/N:

In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the inspiration and chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet.

Chapter 9. Draw, if you be men.

Emmett Cullen, so alike his antagonist in temperament, did not wait for further slurs against his character, but reached back and swung with deadly precision at Laurent. Incapacitated by one too many drinks he'd imbibed, Laurent was slow to avoid the blow, staggering back against the pool table with a grunt.

James Swan took in the raw intensity on Jasper Cullen's face, just begging to enter into the fray, then the sight of Laurent's rapidly swelling eye, and the trickle of blood dripping down from his temple. He entered the melee, escalating the drama with the sound of breaking glass.
