bars to make ends meet. Well for your information he's
taken so back off sister." I can feel the rage building inside of
me and know that there is nothing I can do to stop it. Quick as a
flash I elbow her sharply in her stomach and as she relaxes her
grip I twist around to face her. The rage is now consuming me and I
can feel the fire in my eyes. Her expression changes to one of
disbelief followed instantly by one of fear. I grab hold of her arm
and twist it until she cries out in pain. I let the fire burn
within me and it transfers to her body until it consumes her. I
watch her pain and her eyes dilate and the fear overtakes her body.
I can see everything within her and I use it against her. I can
feel the fire in my eyes as I direct them towards her. "Just a word
of advice sister know who you're dealing with before you pick a
fight. For your information Drake is not your boyfriend and I am
not interested in him. If I was I wouldn't let a piece of trash
like you put me off either. Now I don't like to get angry and you
have brought my inner devil out which annoys me. The only thing
that is stopping me from sending you straight to hell is the fact
that I'm working and I kinda like my job so if you know what's good
for you you'll leave this place and never come back, got it?" Tears
are now running down her cheeks and she nods. I can feel the pain
in her as I hold her in my grip. She is no match for me and she
knows it. In disgust I release her and follow her outside as she
runs from the room. There is a crowd of her friends waiting outside
who look at us in stunned disbelief. Before she can leave however
the exit is blocked and I sigh heavily as I see who it is. Filling
the doorway is the intimidating site of my army of brothers all
clad in their trademark leather jackets, their eyes flashing with
menace. You could hear a pin drop in the bar as they look at the
scene in front of them. The girl runs towards Caleb shouting, "Get
her Caleb, she attacked me for no reason. I need you to sort her
out." Suddenly he laughs loudly and is joined by my brothers. The
girl looks totally confused until Caleb says, "Well Morgan, I see
you've met our sister."
    Morgan pales and looks between
us all blindly. Her friends look away and there is a tense silence
in the room. Looking at my brothers I say wearily, "What are you
doing here?" Caleb laughs and his eyes flash with excitement. "We
were sent to check on you, although by the looks of things you've
got it covered." They move to the side and Morgan races outside
closely followed by her friends. Once again my brothers laugh and
then head towards the bar to get a drink. I notice that nobody
looks at them as they pass and I can feel the fear in the room. I
push my hair back from my face and realise that I am bleeding.
Sighing I head off to the rest rooms to see to the cut.

Chapter Four
     
    When I come out I see that my
brothers are still here. They are quite an intimidating sight and I
wish that they would leave. Before they see me I duck into the
kitchen. Mac looks up as I enter. "You alright honey, things got a
bit fraught out there for a minute." Nodding I sink down on to a
chair. He pushes a glass of water towards me which I accept with a
grateful smile. Before he can say anything we look up as Drake
comes into the kitchen. His face is thunderous and I feel suddenly
nervous. He comes over and looking at me intently reaches a hand up
to my head and traces the cut that won't appear to stop bleeding.
Taking a hanky from his pocket he holds it to my head and applies
pressure. He sits down beside me and then says gently, "I'm sorry
Scarlett. I should have known that Morgan would go after you. You
didn't deserve that." I feel in total shock. He is looking at me so
kindly that I feel strangely vulnerable and tears well up in my
eyes. I am not used to people being kind to me and it takes all of
my resolve not to dissolve in a heap in front of him. Instead I
just blink and shrug. "It's ok. I probably
