“Enough” Marcus voice vibrat ing with exquisite power as it washed over everyone in the pub.
The sound of Marcus voice rushing about filling every corner of space, the musician’s stopped playing immediately . The wildness o n the dance floor abruptly stopp ing , as Siobhan and Sarah fell in a daze d heap together . The shimmering warmth of the pub goers froze as fear rose slowly around them. The air suddenly growing stifling cold, Siobhan couldn’t get a breath into her burning lungs. Glancing over at Sarah , feeling her heartbeat r ising rapidly as she saw Sarah staring open mouthed trying to breathe. Panic filling Siobhan to the point of pain, she felt strong a rms gripp ing her like a vise pulling her roughly out of the crowd . T he scream bubbling to the surface as it made its way from deep inside her. Twisting and turn ing like a caged animal, fighting the remarkably strong hold on her, but the grip around her only tightened.
“Dammit be still” Marcus hissed into her ear , commanding her to silence as he pulled her out of the crowd. Simon followed behind him holding onto Sarah as she fought to get loose. Heading towards the front door s, neither of them stopped, barreling into anyone in their path . They burst through the front doors , clambering into the street as the sharp night air slammed into Siobhan sending shivers through her body. Inhaling greedy breath s of the clean crisp air feeling the rush of oxygen rac ing to her head as the darkness began to descend.
“No, you have gone under enough tonight love, stay with us” Simon’s hands tightly gripp ing Siobhan’s face he leaned down blowing heavily into her face. She inhaled the intoxicating scent of cloves and cinnamon, eyes widening as the heat of Simon’s breath surrounded her.
“Where’s Jason?” Sarah asked in between the coughs racketing through her. She had stumbled away from them , leaning against the building as wave after wave of ratcheting deep coughing spasms tore through her. Her hands gripp ing the bricks of the building turning white from the strain as another surge of heaving coughs erupted from her.
“He must still be inside; blasted fool was enthralled with her” Simon ominously hissed before turn ing to go back inside.
“No. I’ll go, you stay with them and make sure they are alright” Marcus briskly ordered already walk ing through the doors of the pub .
Striding over to Sarah , Simon pulled her off the building wall; his hand lift ing her chin so their faces were inches apart kissing her lightly. Sarah’s eyes fluttered for a moment then flew open as another crushing wave of coughs racked through her. Mumbling curses, Simon leaned in deepen ing the kiss. Sarah pushing her hands against his chest, trying to shove him away from her. Her eyes wide ning in panic, as Simon continued to pull the air out of her lungs.
“Get away from her” Siobhan screamed as she sprinted to where Simon was holding Sarah. Shooting his arm out at the last moment he stopped her from hitting them. Siobhan clawed at his arms, fighting to get between them.
The door to the pub bursting open slamming into the building , Jason fl ying out onto the sidewalk as Marcus strolled out behind. Landing hard onto the cracked sidewalk Jason grunted loudly with the air whoosh ing out of his lungs. Moira emerging behind Marcus, pushing him aside as she rushed to Jason , kneeling down she ran her hands over Jason, concern replacing the irritation on her striking features .
Simon moaned loudly as he pulled away from Sarah, stumbling a few steps back , eyes closed tightly , his face was eerily pale covered in a fine sheen of sweat . Marcus reached over catching Simon as his legs buckled; his eyes flying open casting a luminous violet hue against Siobhan . Pulling a flask out of his jacket, Marcus cursing softly, twist ing off the cap he quickly t ilted it towards Simon mouth.
