Serenity was still unconscious, and Crystal could only pray that she would wake up as soon as possible. Serenity's ability as a 2nd Dan Black Belt Taekwondo master would come in handy right about now. There were more than ten men in the room, and one of them was a police officer. If they didn't do something quick, they would both be assaulted and possibly even murdered.
The situation seemed hopeless. What had started as one of the best Birthdays of Crystal's life was quickly turning into a nightmare.
"Have you figured out who you're going to screw first?" Richard wondered. "If I get the first shot at you, and you satisfy me, I will pay you handsomely!"
Crystal sniffed the air and made an ugly face. "In addition to the smell of shit on you," she said, "there's another smell."
"Really?" Richard smiled evilly and said, "That must be my pheromones!"
Crystal smirked as she kicked Richard between the legs.. "Could be," she said, and she laughed viciously as he bent over and fell to the ground. "But that'll take care of that. Now all I can smell is your shattered balls and bruised ego!" Crystal tried to pick Serenity back up, but the police officer put his hand on her chest and pinned her down.
Crystal scowled and said, "Well, if this is the way it has to be, then so be it." She grabbed an empty beer bottle from the table and smashed it against the table's edge, and broke it into two pieces. Then, with her free hand, she grabbed Richard's collar and brandished the broken glass against his neck. "If you don't want your friend to die, then let go of my friend."
But for the sound of the music, the room went deathly quiet. Everyone was stunned, even Crystal. She would never have expected that things would escalate to this point. Antony was dumbfounded. Crystal is so strong - he thought- "She's also unique! Amazing! And Perfect!" He turned to Eric and grinned. "If you're not into her," he said, "I certainly am!"
Eric smacked him across the back of the head and said, "You'll have to talk to my manhood about that." He laughed. "She's my woman, so don't even think about it."
Richard began to panic as Crystal pressed the broken glass into his tender flesh. "You dirty bitch," he whined. "What do you want?"
Crystal: "Don't you know what I want? Let go of my friend. If you do, then perhaps you might still live to see the sunrise. You have a lot of money, but I'm just a pauper. I have nothing to lose. Think about that."
"If you harm me in any way, I'll kill your entire family!" Richard shouted. He couldn't get over the fact that a girl who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old would dare stab him.
"Go ahead," Crystal chuckled. "I'm an orphan, I don't have a family, so death has no hold over me. But you're different. If you die, think about how sad your parents will be, and think about the money you haven't spent yet. Wouldn't it be a pity if I cut your life short so early?"
"Fuck!" Richard groaned. "What a sharp tongue you have, and yet -" Before he could. finish what he was trying to say, the glass pierced his skin, and he felt a slow trickle of blood run down his neck. "Ouch!" he cried. "That fucking hurt..."
"Shut up!" Crystal shouted. "No more talk. Let. Go. Of. My. Friend. NOW! Any more stalling will cost you your life!"
Richard was more scared than he had been in his life, but he also felt humiliated. It was embarrassing to be overcome by a woman. "Okay," he said. "How about we make a deal?
You let me go first, and I'll tell my friend to let go of your friend at the same time."
"Do you think I'm a fool?" Crystal asked. "If I let you go, your friend won't let go of my friend. Anyway, this isn't a negotiation. You are my hostage, and you know my demands!" As she spoke, she pushed the glass deeper into Richard's neck, and the flow of blood increased and pooled on his shirt collar.
The room was filled with the acrid scent of urine as Richard urinated in his pants.
"Damn it!" he cried. "Let her go. This crazy bitch is serious!"
"Oh. My. God!" Antony shouted excitedly. "fuck! What a Nancy Boy! He's pissed himself! For God's sake, just let them go. This situation is getting out of hand!"
The police officer leaned back, looked at Crystal, and said, "Go ahead. She's all yours." Crystal cracked Richard over the head with the blunt end of the bottle, and he collapsed unconscious on the floor. Then, while still brandishing the bottle, she helped her friend to her feet, and they staggered out of the room together.
Eric and Anthony were both impressed by Crystal's ability to stay calm in the face of danger. She was courageous, intelligent, bold, and loyal to her friends, all of which were endearing qualities in a woman.
Richard was only unconscious for about a minute, and when he sat up, there was a look of triumph on his face. His neck was bleeding badly, though, and one of the women shrieked.
"Quick!" she cried. "Call an ambulance, quick!"
"fuck the ambulance!" Richard shouted. He grabbed a napkin and pressed it to the wound. He looked at the woman and said, "Call your mother!" Then he turned to the police officer. "Hurry up and catch that dirty bitch! How dare she hurt me!" After being tormented and humiliated by Crystal, Richard knew that he would become a laughingstock unless he taught her a lesson.
The officer hurried to get up, but Eric stopped him. "Don't even touch her," he said.
Everyone looked at Eric. Eric was a powerful man, and there were very few men who dared to disobey him. For a moment, the room was utterly silent - except for the sound of the music. Then, after a moment, Antony said, "That settles that. There is no reason to let those two girls ruin our party. Go on enjoying yourself. Keep in mind that if you piss off Master Bush, he will make you regret it." Richard was glad that Eric had finally done the right thing and stood up for Crystal.
Richard was going to say something, but after hearing Antony's words, he was forced to swallow his pride and suppress his anger.
After what had happened, Eric was no longer in the mood to party, so he excused himself and left the room.
