“Chronicles of the Eclipses”

**~Blood Line~**

She giggles as Nick finishes a joke. “Yeah, I thought you would find that funny. You know the last time that happened to me was like two days ago too.” Nick smirks, gently bumping Coral on the hip.

Coral smiles, eyeing the man besides her, they had just finished eating breakfast and where were all heading out of the café when Coral hears a loud yell. Both Nick and Coral turn around to see a large overgrown overweight scruffy man grab Arianna by the arm.

“You heard what I said! Get your filthy hands off me!” Arianna hisses out, yanking her arm away from the man.

A.J. narrows his eyes angrily at the man, swiping his hand across the man’s arm, knocking it off. “Hey listen to the lady. She said back off before, stop touching her.”

Arianna glares heartily at the large man who rumbles out a drunken laugh, suddenly swinging at A.J. but accidentally strikes Arianna across her face, knocking her down on the floor.

Coral gasps out as she runs to her friend as a small crowd of onlookers began cheering the man. “Rufus! Rufus, Rufus!” The cheers rang out in the stuffy room as Coral bends down to the dirty tiles, gently helping Arianna stand up.

Arianna touches her cheek gingerly, wincing in pain at the streak of blood that trailed down her face. A.J. glares at the man named Rufus that seemed to want to start trouble.

“A.J. stop! Don’t do it!” Nick calls out worriedly, knowing fully well that Rufus man can easily overpower A.J.

A.J. spits at Rufus’s face, watching the clear white saliva slide down the burly man’s cheek.

Arianna gulps, moving past Coral to reach A.J. “I’m fine. Let’s just leave this place.”

A.J. smirks, “Na, he ain’t getting away with hitting a lady.”

Coral gulps, “A.J. listen to her, let’s forgot this. You could get seriously hurt.”

“Hell NO! I ain’t going no where ‘till that bastard get what he deserves!” A.J. growls out causing Nick to gasp.

“Yo A.J. man, let’s walk away while we still can.” Nick whispers out as the rowdy crowd quieted down suddenly when Rufus steps up to A.J., the spit dripping down off his cheek landing squarely on the floor.

“You on gone done it you little…” Rufus growls out, quickly swinging at A.J. who ducks and instead slams his heavy fist at Coral, sending her to fly backwards painfully.

“COR…CONNIE!” Arianna yells out, running over to Coral who seemed dizzy as a small trial of blood begins to drip down from her temple. “Oh God…Oh hell no. This isn’t happening now. I’m gonna get him for you girl.”

Coral begins to tremble, tears spilling down her cheeks as she cries out in utter pain. The punch was thrown with such an intense force that left Coral gasping for air as she desperately tries to sit up. Arianna sniffs, holding back her tears as she glares over at the man Rufus rooting and cheering.

“I’m gonna get him for you and me.” Arianna whispers out, reaching for a nearby table to grab a small knife.

Coral winces, shaking her head, “Don’t do it.”

“He’s just gonna feel some pain back. That’s all.”

“Ari…” She whispers out, “Don’t you start now. He looks like a bully. You can’t take him down, look at his size.”

Arianna smiles, “Well help me and we’ll take him down together. Come on Coral, you know he deserves it as much you think it!” She whispers out to her friend over the loud commotion that erupted in the café.

Coral sniffs, taking Arianna’s hand as she stands up, looking at Rufus’s bulging biceps through the ripped black t-shirt.

A.J. leaps at the man suddenly as he quickly thrown off with ease. Nick rushes over to his friend, picking him up as he drags him away.

“Stop being so stupid J! You wanna get killed?!” Nick shouts out, holding A.J. back with a struggle who wants to attack the man again.

“Let me the fu…” A.J. stops stunned as he watches Arianna and Coral make their way back to Rufus.

Arianna narrows her eyes and without thinking, pulls out the knife and skillfully slices it across Rufus’s throat before the man realized what had occurred. Rufus looks at her and growls as he feels the crimson blood slowly leak down his open wound.

Coral glares at the man and finds a metal fork, using the sharp spiked part plunges it into the man’s left eye.

Rufus curses a storm at the sudden attack, swinging wildly as the two women back away and tumble on the floor from some others gang members who begin to surround them and pull out blades and daggers, shoving it at them. Coral gasps, crawling away as she feels her ankles are grabbed, slamming her to the floor chest first. She groans out in pain as she feels herself being dragged. She propels her hands, digging her nails on the tiles as she is slowly dragged. She could hear the laughter around her as she glances over Arianna who was slammed on her back, her clothes getting torn off her.

Arianna screams out, swinging her hands in the air as Nick and A.J. try to push their way into the crowd to get the women out.

“MOVE! GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!” A.J. yells out, busting through the crowd along side Nick.

Rufus gags as a tiny river of blood floods from his face. He pulls out the metal fork out of his eye and with the one good eye watches in sickening horror at the fork in his hands. The fork held the other dark pupil, sitting numbly on the fork’s spikes.

The group of people in the gang café back away in disgust as Rufus glazes over at the two women who were beginning to get attacked by some of the perverted men in the surrounding circle.

A.J. slams the man that straddled Arianna on the floor forcefully as Arianna cries out and crawls away, tears striking her light sapphire emerald orbs. A.J. was tackled to the floor as Rufus steps over to him yelling in pain. Raising a foot to stomp on A.J., Rufus snorts eager to rid the man.

Arianna picks up another metal knife scattered across the café’s floor as she swings the item, letting it hit dead center in the man’s forehead. Rufus’s mouth drops open as he groans, touching the plunged knife. He looks over at Arianna as a tiny river of dark blood breaks from the forehead wound. Pointing at her, he groans out in pain as Arianna in a fury of anger, yells and pulls out the knife from the man’s forehead, striking him over and over again in the chest as his flesh breaks open with each hit. She digs the knife into the man’s chest one last time as he keels over dead, landing on his back as A.J. breaks away from another’s man’s grasp. He stands up and gasps, gazing at Arianna’s action.

“An...Ana…you just stabbed him to death.” A.J. worriedly whispers out in horror.

Arianna gulps, nodding her head, staring at her bloodied hands: “I don’t know what came over me. He, he was asking for it though. God he was asking for it!” She cries out, looking around at the circle of people watching her.

A.J. steps to her, gently taking her hand as she begins silently crying, the quiet tears running down calmly down her cheeks.

Coral tries to scream as another man covers her mouth, striking her across her face as he straddles her. Nick breaks into the circle of men and kicks the man off her as she breaks into tears when another man grabs her dark locks, yanking on it as she is pulled away to him. Nick pushes the man into a chair, lifting another chair and slamming it on the man. The man caught in surprise, releases Coral’s strands immediately as he cries out, crashing and flipping off a chair onto his back. The man growls as he begins bleeding from the nose and mouth, standing up to glares at Nick.

“Check this sh…” The man pauses as he looks down to see a wooden leg from a chair penetrate his abdomen. He gasps, his eyes scroll over to see Coral’s hands slide off the wooden leg as she struggles to stand up with Nick’s help.

The man moans out as he drops dead, falling on his back.

Coral gasps, “Oh God…he’s dead...I didn’t think he was…” She murmurs out in fright. Nick gulps and embraces the woman as they exhale watching the group disperse the café.

A.J. gulps, looking over at Nick as he shakes his head. “Yo…we, we gotta get the hell out of here!”

Arianna gulps, rushing over to Coral who seemed in shock by the entire thing. “Coral?” She whispers out to her, a stream of blood cover her cheek.

“What?”

“I think we just found a way to stay here for good.” Arianna smiles, glancing around the deserted room as A.J. and Nick grumble and whisper to themselves about something.

“I think we’re getting kicked out.” Coral whispers, gulping, slumping into a chair, covering her head with her hands.

Vincent sighs, settling back in his office chair, gazing at the surveillance camera in distaste. He glances back at Brian who was curled in a seat shivering in fright.

Smiling, he sits up looking at Brian. “I’m glad you came when I called you to my office this morning. I have a question. Do you see what your friends just did? I’m assuming you know those two women that killed off two of my best members, correct?”

Brian gulps, settling his legs back on the stained carpet. “They were two of the women picked up from the club.”

“Hmmmm…well they sure know how to defend themselves.” He smirks, glancing over at Kevin who seemed lost in thought, his eyes locked on the surveillance camera, watching the fighting replay again.

“Kevin, what do you think I should do to those two women?” Vincent asks, smirking.

Kevin gulps, looking over at him. “Not sure. Maybe keep them?”

Vincent snorts: “How funny…seriously though.”

“I am serious. They killed two of the top members off with no ease. These women are more than just your average ladies.” Kevin traces his fingers over the glass screen, watching the fighting in slow motion.

“Are you implying that because they wiped the floor clean with the two men that we should consider women in the gang?” Vincent sits up, the chair creaking with his movement: interest flooding his eyes.

“Well just those two perhaps. Imagine the surprise when an attack comes along and the women are there to defend and catch our enemies. Vincent, maybe you haven’t considered the factor of the world drug trade. Mafias from all over the world come here to get the best and if they see the wonders the two women did here, how funny would it be. They can slip in and out certain areas without drawing attention. Women are less likely to be chased after by the cops when the trading is done. Think of the possibilities in that Vin.”

Vincent smiles: glancing down at Brian: “Brian, what do you think of the prospect of us taking those two women in for the time being?”

He gulps, “He has a point sir.”

“I’m sure he does. Kevin bring me the man you caught yesterday. Brian, I want you to help set up the initiation for tonight.” Vincent orders: waving the men out of his office as they set about to do their given jobs.

He gazes at the cracking white cement ceiling as the sound of a fly buzzing around, hums near his ear. Swatting the fly away from him, he sighs, slumping further back in the dirty bunk bed, bored out of his mind. Gulping, he hears a sound of footsteps approach the small closed in room he was being kept in. The door jiggles as the knob turns, the lock clicking open as Kevin steps into the room.

Howie sits up in the bed, glancing over at him. “Glad to see you remembered me. I thought I was gonna be left here to rot.”

Kevin silently enters the room, sighing deeply. “Why…why did you come here?”

“I told you the answer already.”

“I know. I just don’t see how it’s gonna happen.” Exhaling, he gazes over at Howie: “I have to take you to see Vin. He’s preparing your initiation as we speak.”

“Wonderful.” Howie mutters out, sighing as he gets up from the bed.

“Come on. The faster this is over with, the faster I can go back to my room and drink away this misery.” Kevin grumbles, leaning on the threshold as Howie exits the room behind Kevin.
