Embry Call- Three Chapter Special

2 - Katherine's trouble

Embry watched in silence , the loud banging of the music did nothing but make him more anxious. He didn't know why he travelled all the way to Seattle on a school night (making a fake ID in the process), all he knew was that he needed to see how she was doing. Jacob told him that if he wanted to be noticed, he had to make himself known. So for the final time, he will try once more. Damn the consequences.

Katherine was on the stage again, singing her heart out. Embry thought her voice is so lovely, if only he could tell that to her. Although the younger audiences were enjoying the music , it seems that the others were enjoying other things so much more, their eyes glued to the blue haired girl on the stage. Embry felt a foreign feeling that came upon him, an emotion that he so rarely feels. Anger.

When the performance ended, he waited patiently to see Katherine. The backstage was blocked and only the staff could enter. Embry felt a tap on his shoulder, turning around, he found himself disappointed to see a blonde woman smiling at him suggestively. "Do you want to have a good time?'' she said, trying to sounds seductive but ended up sounding like a dying kitten. "No" Embry walked away, not wanting to wait anymore. Maybe he could just wait near the backstage.

As the music continue to blast around him, Embry with his recently acquired hearing, was able to hear sounds of struggle of a female. When he went to close, a tall and buff bouncer came and stopped him as he pointed to a sign nearby that says Staffs only. "My friend is there" he said, trying his best to see anything behind the closed curtains.

"Staff only" the man repeated and there was something in his eyes that told Embry not to try again. After somewhile, he saw the members of the band walking out one by one. But Katherine was nowhere to be found. A particular man had to be dragged out, a trace of blood pouring from his lips. "Let me go!" he said, trying to go back but there was more men that came to take him outside. "Katherine is in trouble!" he screamed one last time before he was dumped outside like trash.

"Sorry," Katherine said, eyeing the hand on her knee. Pushing it away forcefully, she stood up. "But I'm not that kind of girl" The owner of the club laughed, liking how much she was fighting him. "Listen, girl, if you want to be a regular, you have to make a few sacrifices" he stood up, approaching her slowly like a predator.

Trying to hide the fear that was in her, Katherine smiled. "No, sir, I'm not that desperate". When he came too close again, she took the pepper spray hidden in her back pocket and sprayed. The man yelled in pain, pushing her hard on the ground despite the fact that he could not see. "What are you doing?!"Martin said as he saw what was happening, trying to approach the two, he was suddenly grabbed by two men behind him. "It's none of your business,'' the one one the right said."It's better if you leave"

"Katherine!" he yelled, trying to catch the trembling girl on the floor. When he tried to resist , he was met with a series of punches and kick, with the last kick leaving him in pain that he could not stand. "Martin.." Katherine said as she watched him being dragged away from her. Trying to leave the room, she saw two more men blocking her way.

She felt scared, the same feeling that she hated so much. Katherine wanted to be strong, she didn't want to need anyone. Once the man recovered, his face looked much more scarier. He looked angry enough to kill. "We can do it the easy way or the hard way'" he warned, rubbing his eyes back and forth.

"I'm a minor, you will be arrested" The man laughed and gestured for the other men to hold her down. "Even better" Katherine tried her best to run but they were faster and stronger. What will happen to her now?
