Arya stopped for a while to catch a breath after running through the alley that was now getting dark for a while. She looked around for signs for anyone but didn't find any,she hissed as she brought out her phone and dialed a number and suddenly she could hear a ringtone,she recognized it and ran towards where the sound was coming from.
And there,her best friend was, kneeling amidst three ladies and another lady was seated, watching the whole drama, she was the boss of the other three ladies.
"Arya, don't do anything " Arya's best friend; Emma whimpered.
Arya scoffed in annoyance. " We're not teenagers,how can you bully someone like this? Have you no sense at all? I'll teach you all a lesson today" She folded her fingers into a fist ready to fight the three ladies.
"Beat some sense into her" The leader that was seated ordered them and stood up.
The three girls rushed towards Arya and a fight begun but the three of them were no match for Arya. She beat them up and made sure they couldn't get up.
"What now? You wanna get some beating too?" Arya moved closer to the leader with a satisfied look on her face.
"I'm sorry, please don't hurt me. If you do,you could raise some trouble for yourself...my dad is a police commissioner,you know? I'll leave now" She said in fear and made an attempt to run, but Arya grabbed her by her cloth and held her.
"You must think I'm stupid,huh? You beat my friend up and now you don't want to be beaten? I won't do anything to you, instead I'll make sure you never show your face outside anymore. Emma, the camera is still on you, right?"
The lady shook in fear and got on her knees "I'll do anything please don't release any video of me. My dad's reputation will be ruined... I'm so sorry. It's because I was angry,my boyfriend broke up with me because of her so I wanted to take it out on her"
" Fine, I'll take another video of you promising to never do this again to anyone,if you do, I'll upload it everywhere with your name and your dad's name. I'll go to his workplace and paste your face everywhere. You hear me?!" Arya shouted at her.
" Yes, yes. I promise" She said in fear and Arya released her.
"Your boyfriend, where is he now?!" Arya asked the lady.
" Huh?"
" Don't you think he should get some beating too? He's the reason for all of this. Send his location to Emma right now" Arya ordered before going to help Emma up.
*****
"Are you okay?" Arya asked Emma who looked traumatized. She nodded her head in response.
"I told you to take self defense classes! Those crazy girls, how did they even drag you down there?"
" Thanks for saving me again. I was having coffee at a shop close to here when they found me. It's Louis' fault for spreading lies that I'm his girlfriend" Emma said
" That Louis guy, I'll teach him a lesson, if he wants to break up with his girlfriends, why does he keep mentioning your name and spoiling your image. He'll regret it this time. Has she sent his location?" Arya asked as they got into Emma's car.
"Yeah, but how did you think of bringing up a camera when I don't have one on me, you're so smart" Emma laughed.
" Also, Louis isn't just someone you can beat, you might be targeted by his fans. Let's just go home, I'll warn him" Emma tried to cover up for Louis who was her childhood friend and first love.
"There's no way I'm forgiving him,also he doesn't have to see my face" Arya smiled and brought out a facemask and cap from the back seat of the car.
"I can't wait to kick his ass" Arya smirked.
*****
They arrived at a club,it was a big one so finding Louis would not be easy so they decided to split up. Emma was to look around the club and Arya would go to swimming pool side to look for him. Emma told Arya what he looked like since she had never seen him before so she set out looking for him with a face mask covering her face.
"Alright... let's see, handsome, tall,broad shoulders, black hair, would surely have girls surrounding him" Arya repeated the description she got from Emma as her eyes scanned around. Just then,she heard a couple of girls murmuring and running to a side of the pool and there a man was standing,he was beside the pool making a call.
"You're done for, you bastard" She muttered to herself and dashed towards him and with a flying kick,she hit him and pushed him into the pool surprising everyone that was watching.
"You bastard! Stay away from Emma and keep her out of your playboy games" Arya yelled at him as he struggled in the water.
At first Arya was worried because he didn't come back up but then she didn't care about a jerk who made her friend suffer. Her phone beeped and it was a message from Emma.
[ Hey, I found Louis,where you at?]
Arya's eyes widened in shock,she had just pushed the wrong person into the water and he was drowning. She turned back and jumped in the water, swam towards him and brought him out while people either watched or recorded both of them.
"Hey! Wake up... Come back!" She patted his face multiple times but he wouldn't respond. Her hands shook in fear.
"Arya,get it together. I can't become a murderer" Arya paused,then she blocked his nose and put her lips on his then tried to resuscitate him. She repeated the process multiple times before he finally coughed up water.
"You're okay now,so I'll go,okay? I'm so sorry" Arya said to his face now relieved that she wasn't going to become a murderer. She stood up to leave but he was holding unto her cloth.
"Where do you think you're going?" He groaned weakly not letting her go.
"Let go!" She pushed him away before running away from there.
Shortly after, the man's friends came to him after hearing that he was pushed into the water.
"That facemask girl... don't let her go, catch her" He said to them as two of them helped him up while one chased after her.
Arya stopped outside the club to catch her breath and wait for Emma but she was caught by the guy.
"You, facemask girl! You're in trouble now. You're the one that pushed Harris into the pool, right?" He asked holding her hands firmly to her back.
Arya tried to get herself out of his grip but he was holding her too tightly so she gave up.
"Uh-huh, you're going nowhere. The police are on their way, we'll wait here together for them"
" It was a mistake, I swear. I even saved him... I can't go to the police station" Arya pleaded.
" There's no need for that"
Arya's eyes widened as she saw the guy that she pushed into the pool,he was now wearing a long coat above his wet and dripping clothes with his two of his friends behind him.
"Harris,she said it was a mistake. She pulled you out of the water too" His friend said.
Harris moved closer to Arya slowly and looked into her eyes " I don't care, she'll pay for what she did either way, by the police or by my very own hands. How dare you push me into the water and say it was a mistake... You almost killed me, you little thing" He pushed her head with one finger.
" You jerk! Who are you calling little...I said it was a mistake and I saved you and apologized.... So let me go!"
Emma sighted Arya from a distance and ran towards them " Arya! Are you okay?" She asked looking at all the faces there and she recognized all of them.
"Emma? What are you doing here? You know this lady?" One of Harris' friends asked her.
" Louis...what are you all doing here with my friend?" Emma looked at all of them one after the other,confused.
"Wait... that's Louis?" Arya looked at Louis in shock.
" This girl is your friend? She just pushed Harris into the water and almost killed him" Louis said.
The police came while they were still looking at each other confused.
"Hey, policemen... This is the criminal here!" Harris called them and handed Arya over to them.
"Wait, wait... I said it was a mistake, let me explain" Arya said and she struggled with the policemen.
"Wait, Louis, please don't let them take her. It's my fault,at least let her explain. Harris... please,huh?" Emma pleaded on her behalf.
Arya had actually received warning for her fiesty behavior from the police, going to the station wouldn't do her any good.
"Harris? Let her go." Louis told Harris but it fell on deaf ears. They all watched as Arya was taken into the car and driven away.
