If only I’d held my tongue.
If only I’d done what Aslan had commanded and stayed quiet.
Then they might’ve harassed us and moved on.
It shouldn’t have mattered what these bastards thought of us. They could call us names and slander Aslan with their racist bigotry but who cared? They were nothing more than idiot losers, offended at life and unwilling to be nice.
They meant nothing.
So why did I retaliate?!
“GET OFF HIM!” I snarled, kicking someone’s ankle. “Stop it!” I slapped someone’s cheek.
I was nothing more than a pesky mosquito.
Fists flew, grunts sounded, I ducked out of the way as they crashed to the ground only for Aslan to spring back up and punch with single-minded determination.
I clung to my phone, cursing our stupid Uber driver.
Where the hell was Mazda TYZ129? If only he’d arrived sooner, we wouldn’t have even been here when these idiots walked by.
Call the police.
I tripped back as Aslan round-housed a guy, sending one of the older, fatter ones whirling to the ground. The way he moved. The sheer power he possessed. It was awe-inspiring. Heart pounding. A beauty to behold how effortlessly he embraced bloodshed, all to keep me safe.
He groaned as someone’s fist crunched against his jaw.
Only for that someone to go flying as Aslan punched him back with a right hook far more vicious. The fight escalated from a drunken brawl into a free-for-all feud.
Grunts and curses.
Blood and bruises.
Aslan was a whirlwind in the centre of the scuffle. A black riptide, sucking them down, drowning them punch by punch.
I swiped on my screen; my fingers poised over the emergency number.
If I called the police, would they question Aslan?
If I begged them to come and stop this, would they arrest Aslan for public brawling?
I looked up and winced as one of the younger guys with his gym-bulging body screamed and flung himself on Aslan.
My heart hurt.
My breath caught.
Guilt roared. Panic stung.
One of the guys cried out as Aslan wrapped his arm around the guy’s neck. He twisted and flung himself backward, his eyes blacker than death as the guy scrambled and gagged in his hold.
With a violent twist, Aslan choked the guy into unconsciousness. The floppy body of his enemy tumbled out of Aslan’s arms, slumping on the ground in an unnatural way.
Alive.
But...not functioning.
Aslan didn’t stop to see if the guy would get up. He hurled himself at the other three assholes who roared with hate for what he’d done to their friend.
