Part 13. Standing Together
The boisterous crowd seemed to have died down
Seemed to be sitting and waiting without a sound
The lady and the magician sensed there could be a fight
They knew something was not right
The magician thought odds could be too great
Bella’s had always been a popular diner
Good food drink and laughter
Watergiver was doing the last of his daily chores
Preparing food and brushing down his horse
Bella was finishing up in the kitchen
Bella, Annetter, Watergiver felt elated
To sit with their lady and her man, eat, laugh, talk patiently this they had waited.
The kitchen was closed and last orders served
A rest for the workers and a good meal for the hungry was truly deserved
Most of the diners had left and gone
Annetter removed her waitresses apron
Not the crowd near the kitchen, them she had forgotten
As she passed a hand reached out and roughly grabbed her
Annetter screamed struggled and fought to slip away, she was the weaker
This man rubbed his hands over her body
This bully was cheered on by hungry crowd
That was becoming very nasty and loud
Anneteter blouse became ripped
Bella came running to help, but she was tripped
Watergiver came to see what the commotion was
Two men were trying to strip the clothes off Bella
These men were thugs more than likely outlaws
Watergiver saw what was happening to Bella and Annetter
He rushed blindly to their aid without knowing better
Three men turned and attacked watergiver in the blink of eye
Tormenting him that these women needed real men
They were going to have these two again and again
Watergiver was heavily out numbered, yet he heard Annetters cry
Things wasn’t so easy with Bella, she was like a tiger
But the mob were winning
They didn’t hear the tapping
The first felt a rather sharp tap on the shoulder
All he saw what he thought was a shabby looking drifter
Looking like a evil butcher, he lounged forward
Feeling quite confident the drifter would be a coward
Suddenly he felt a sharp pain between his eyes
Looking at the drifter, he knew he had been unwise
Clearing his head he made ready to re charge
Magician didn’t wait, he hit him with a three punch barrage
The looking butcher went down a beaten blighter
Watergiver was fighting well, and he gave as good as he got
With the magicians help he didn’t face an onslaught
The attackers were to get a lesson taught
Watergivers second attacker turned to attack the magician
He suffered very quickly from blurred vision
In less than a split second he felt his legs buckle
The pain he felt made him scream, it was brutal
In less than a eye blink, his jaw was broken
He lay in shock unable to function, frozen
Watergiver smiled as now it was one on one
But he knew he his fight would not be easily won
He fought with the heart of a lion
He was worried about his sister and woman
Watergiver caught hold of his attacker
Threw a barrage of blows in desperation, there was no answer
The lady with the crystal ball
Suddenly looked menacingly tall
Bella had taken a beating
But she was game and still fighting
The lady broke a bottle over the first attackers face
His nose was completely put out of place
As he held his face in his hands, he whimpered
His pain showed his face had just been altered
Bella was now one on one
She had a black eye the size of a onion
Partly naked, she didn’t care she showed no caution
This would not happen in her restaurant in her life’s passion
Annetter was struggling, she wouldn’t hold out much longer
The magician broke one of her attackers leg without so much as a eye flicker
Annetter was looking the worst for wear and tare
Blood had run into her hair
Although the weaker of the two
She bit and scratched like a wild female Sioux
The magician, caught Annetter’s other attacker
Broke his ankle and left him screaming in despair and fear
Annetter knew she was no longer in danger
Her concern was first Bella and Watergiver she ran to her man
They smiled and kissed, she was his maiden
Watergiver took his shirt off she smiled such a gentleman
The lady with the crystal ball kept a eye on all
She made sure nothing evil would befall
Bella’s last attacker was on a sticky wicket
Suddenly those he was with were quiet
She had been attacked and was angry and annoyed
Furniture in her diner had been broken and destroyed
As they all stood around the last attacker
The magician gave his robe to Bella
The last attacker knew he had lost not won
He told them all, they knew it was the evil one
Cause as much damage and harm, that was the mission
The attackers were truly beaten, no pity for vermin
The gang were left to leave, and they did so
Helping each other their leaving was painfully slow
Annetter and Bella went away they needed some privacy
Both needed new clothes, both were bloody
Bella fussed around Annetter, who was with carrying child
Annetter had tears in her eyes and she smiled
Bella looked somewhat quizzically
Do you think dinner is burnt she asked lightly
When they came down there were two more guest’s
They were hungry and wanted to taste some of Belle’s best
Seven people sat down to eat, 5 could hear their heart beat
Not all was complete, there was just one more little feat.
