Chapter 4-Friend or Foe

Chapter 4- A Friend of Foe?

 

 

 

When they made it over to the barn Sahens dad jogged up in his overalls and his brown shirt; that at one point had been white before the soil of the farm made it their new home. 

 

“You ready?”  His dad said slightly out of breath

 

“Yup let’s get to work”

 

“I meant are you ready to meet the new farm hands!” His dad said excitedly.

 

“Well we’ve already met one, and my god is she piece of Arse!  Oh I meant art.” Jamila said with a very snobby pout lip.  Sahens dad just stared taken aback at Jamila until Sahen swiftly interjected.  “We met X, I don’t know what it is about her but she looks…”

 

Well she should!!” His dad exclaimed.  Sahen was just about to ask why when his dad cut him off saying.  “But never mind that; come meet the other farm hand!”  He said before jogging off towards the corn fields.

 

“Yup that’s my dad…” he said following his dad.  I wonder who the other farm hand is he thought to himself.  Jamila just continued silently behind him.  When they were nearing the corn stocks he could hear someone laughing maniacally.  “We better hurry.” Sahen said before jogging off in the direction of the laughter.  When they got closer he realized that it was X and she was leaning on his best friend Gawain’s shoulder.  As soon as Gawain saw Sahen he walked up and gave him a “Man hug”.  “I missed you man!” Gawain said.

“Wait but I thought you were helping your dad run the 7-11.” Sahen looked at him confused.

“Ya but I hate the people that come in they smell funny and there always drunk!”

“Are you saying I smell bad?” X intruded on their conversation.

“Well no… anyways shouldn’t we be getting to work?”  Gawain said avoiding the conversation.

 

Later…

 

Dude do something she’s putting us to shame!  Gawain said looking down at his bucket of corn then at X’s PILE of corn.  Upstaged by a woman! Gawain joked.  “Why are we doing this by hand again? Jamila complained.  “You mean why WE are doing it by hand” X said slyly and pointing her corn at Jamila’s two co of corn.  Gawain seemed to find this hilarious and burst out laughing at the look on Jamilas face.  “Well not all of us are getting paid.”  She said and stomped away.  “Thanks a lot Gawain.”  Sahen said as he got up and grabbed his bucket of corn.

 

“Well now that that’s over with you guys want to join me and Sapphire tonight.” X asked though it was more of a demand then a question.

 

“Wait, Sapphire?  Doesn’t she work at flower shop?” Sahen asked.

 

“My god how small is this town.  She started picking up her corn and dropped then off in the bin.  “Anyways I’ll pick you guys up at 7.”  She shouted back and with that started walking back to her car.

 

“Isn’t she going to shower?  That’s so gross!  Can I borrow your shower?”  Jamila turned to Sahen and batted her eyelashes.

 

“Ya no pro-ARGH!”  Sahens words were interrupt as pain erupted in his left eye again, this time it caused him to fall down to one knee.

 

“Sahen!” they both yelled and ran over to him.  “Are you ok man?” Gawain asked.

 

“Ya I’m fine.” Sahen said looking up to see X looking back with a puzzled expression on her face. He followed her gaze as she jerked her head to the corn rows.  Again he saw what looked to be a jackal which was impossible because they didn’t have jackals around here in fact they didn’t even have them on the continent.  He looked back to X to see a wide grin had appeared on her face and to his surprise he smiled back.

 

“Sahen!  Are you even listening?!”  Jamila accused.  “We really should be getting back to the house your probable hungry, you have eaten all day.”

 

I’m ok I’m ok!  Let’s get inside so you can shower” as Sahen spoke his gaze flitted back to where X was standing, except she had just vanished.

 

 

Fifteen minutes later X was heading out on the highway.  Driving 50 over the speed limit with the speakers blaring out heavy metal songs.

Hey babe wonna come with me and some friends for a ride?  The biggest guy directed at Saf.

My names Jack. He said reaching out and grabbing her hand.  He easily pulled her out of Gawains grasp and pulled her close to him licking his lips.

“In your dreams!” She yelled digging her  heel into his foot.

“You wench!” he screamed pulling her back to him.

In an instant X hand dropped her drink, pried Saf away and practically tossed her to where Gawain was standing.  She walked right up to the pervert and grabbed his wrist.  “I think you should apologize to my friend…Jack” she said demonically.  “Feisty huh, maybe I should take you to bed after.  I like a good challenge.”  “X STOP!” Saf yelled.  X whipped her head to look at her.  Saf gasped as she looked at X’s eye they had taken that fiery look again.  “Hey maybe we should just leave?” Gawain said noticing Saf tense, grabbing her hand he pulled her behind him.  “Hey s**t look at me when I’m talking to you!”  Jack yelled, but before X could turn her attention back his fist hit her face and she suddenly hit the ground.  Her ears were ringing so loud she could barely hear Saf calling her.  Then the world went silent.  “X!” Saf said struggling to get out of Gawains grasp.  “I’m fine... But I can’t say the same for this guy.” X stood up and started to laugh.  Both of her eyes had completely turned fiery red.  “S**t RUN!” Saf yelled at Jack.  He just looked at her puzzled.  “Gawain we have to get him out of here.”  “What! Shouldn’t we be getting out of here?”  Eyeing the rest of Jacks gang walking up to them.  “Crap where Sahen and Jamila?” At that moment he spotted them coming out of the woman’s washroom.  Jamilla seemed to be fixing her hair.  “Are you f*****g kidding me!”   In that one distracted moment Saf took the opportunity to run to X.  Holding her face with both hands she whispered softly to X.  “Hey babe let’s get outta here we can just grab a few beers and go home just you and me?”  At this X’s eyes started to calm down, and she looked like she was pondering the idea.  “Hey why don’t we just take this outside kitten?  If it’s some ruff love you want we can go in the ally.”  That slight possibility of a peaceful get a way had left the moment those words blundered off his tongue.  “You know what your right let’s take this outside.”

“What’s going on?” Sahen asked as they walked up completely oblivious to the situation.  “Well your friend here has decided to take on the leader of Blacknights.”  (Blacknights was the town gang, mostly consisting of fugitives.)  Gawain said following the others out the back door.  “What!” Sahen said turning around to face Jamila.  “Hey you stay here ok?” he said softly.  “Ya whatever.”  She said taking out a nail file and wandering over to the bar.  He ran to catchup to Gawain who was just walking out the door to the ally.
