Sebastian took notice by how deep in the shadows they were. She didn't want to be seen at all. That made Seb feel like she was for sure not from around here, and that there was no chance that he had ever seen her before. Sebastian huffed softly before hearing her voice. "You really shouldn't be passing through gang territory." His voice had grown slightly stern. Anybody knew that. Unless she was just new to the entire city as well, it was common sense. A lot of the times, any person who was new and just showed up in the gang territory was taken in for questioning. Sebastain wasn't going to force anything out of her though, unless he felt the need to do so.

"Doesn't matter if we see each other again. Where are you from?" Sebastian asked, growing suspicious. The atmosphere changed in a way that he hadn't felt so often, as most of his encounters included the other person just running away because well, he's Sebastian Adriel. And if you know that an Adriel is around, it's probably best to run if you're an enemy, and maybe even run as well if you were on their side. Adriels tended to be a bit angered. Sebastian knew that.

"You're on gang territory." He then mentioned, trying to get some sort of reaction out of her. Something was off still, and he wasn't sure what it was, but he didn't think of it anymore because it wasn't his concern. That is, unless she decided to make it something to be concerned about.

JJ, Maxwell, Xander, James, and Derek had arrived at Hunter's house. Loud music boomed from inside from speakers that were in the corners of the room. The loud voices of others speaking over the music was heard, and there was a small crowd dancing. Hunter caught eye of JJ and his small group, coming over and greeting them. "Where's Seb?" He talked loudly to make it audible for the group to hear.

JJ simply shrugged. To be honest, he wasn't sure. He knew that his older brother had a lot on his mind, and he couldn't exactly blame him. The marriage, rivalry, probably some other girl problems that Seb didn't dare talk about. He was known to jump around between women, never really sticking to one.

That caused problems.

"Where I'm from and who I am is irrelevant, all you need to know is you should watch your mouth. Might just land you in some trouble one day" Her voice shook, her head knew better but she couldn't resist. The Sherwoods were known for having short tempers and big attitudes, she was no different. If he wanted to test her patience, let him. He'd be the one in trouble, not her. Hannah's attitude had landed her in bad situations before, but at least it was worth it.

"Gang territory? What's new? You act as if I've never been on gang territory before, and yet here I am." Hannah definitely wasn't going to tell him who she was, the only way he'd know is if he recognized her and then maybe she'd be in some trouble.

"Maybe I should be the one asking questions. A young woman like myself wandering in the middle of the night in neighbouring territory doesn't really call for an intervention does it? So tell me, what are you doing out here?"

Sebastian scoffed. There was no way that this girl was really trying to threaten him. He was about twice her size, mainly muscle, and stood at six foot four. She was like a toddler comapred to him, and yet she still had dared to make such an assumption that he was even bossing her around or telling her what to do. That wasn't what he was doing, it was just common sense. "Whoever said that I was telling what to do and what not to do? And I'm and Adriel, you best keep that in mind." Sebastian said. He wasn't expecting her to know who he was, but names mattered. Especially when you're one of the most ruthless gang familys out there.

"Telling to watch my mouth isn't gonna stop me. And trouble is no stranger to me," he said, narrowing his gaze. His veins were filled with adrenaline and the anger was bubbling up inside of him. The audacity of some people, he thought silently to himself before Seb heard her voice yet again.

He scoffed. She was assuming. Sebastian didn't appreciate people who assumed. "Nobody ever said you've never been on gang territory, darling. I just would think that if you had, you would know how dangerous it can be." He clenched his jaw slightly. Her face was still hidden in the shadows, but he didn't care much. Then she began to throw questions at him.

"Partying." He simply said. "I'm partying," he repeated. "Now what's it to you and why should it concern you?"

"Oh I'll do more than tell you to shut it. I'll shut it for you if you'd like. Although, I'm sure it won't be very enjoyable for you. It's your choice really, shut it, or I will" Leaving without some sort of fight was impossible now, she'd gone too far, threatening an Adriel on their territory. Whatever happened tonight, it was most likely to play out the way she wants it.

Although she'd been in her fair share of fights, Hannah was becoming quite nervous. He was clearly way more advantaged in the physical aspect, but that plus the fact that we're in his territory was quite a bad deal. Hannah had no doubt te rest of the gang were nearby and would be here in a flash at his beck and call.

_"Partying" Did Hannah expect any less? No, the Adriels knew who to party, that's for sure. But with that said, a bunch of drunk Adriels out and about while she was wandering around threatening them, was not going to lead to a good night.

"Well, it does seem quite suspicious to come across one Adriel by himself, something I haven't seen before tonight. Although, no matter your name, I could easily take you without hesitation. It'd be in your best interest to not provoke me" She told him, a small smile appearing on her face as she stepped towards him. Hannah knew she was way out of her league here and didn't stand a chance against him, but she was not going to back down.

This certainly was going to be an interesting night.

JJ sighed softly as Hunter went back to whatever he was doing. Maxwell and Derek had moved over to the bar. Hunter's house was just a mansion, a large one at that, and JJ took notice into how neat a tighty everything was. He admired it in a way. Their house was messy, but clean enough to not bother anyone or have a word said about.

JJ had began to grow worried about his brother. He pulled his phone out of his back pocket, unlocking it. He went into a group chat that was created a long time ago for him and his friends.

JJ

Gonna head out for a second, I'll be back asap

He typed with ease before he locked his phone, slipping it back into his jean pocket. He pushed his way pass people before he slipped out of the entrance. JJ couldn't be far away, as he felt as though Seb would let the group know where he was. Sebastian never really just disappeared, especially since word of the marriage got out. People were at his throat.

"Sherwoods don't scare me, and never had." Sebastian furrowed a brow. "Adriels and Sherwoods are just names, yes, but when you are like me, you can make people run with just a simple mention of your name. But everyone is different, such as yourself. So tell me Sherwood, what makes you so angered?" Sebastian had hints of anger laced in his deep tone, and without a doubt, he was becoming annoyed. Not because she wasn't scared, but rather a Sherwood was on Adriel territory.

They were the ones going at each other's throats.

JJ spotted two figures in the distance. One was rather small, the other tall and large. He could define that one was for sure his brother, but the other, he assumed was the girl that he had pointed out earlier in the night. JJ swallowed, closing in on the pair. The atmosphere changed as he felt the anger within it.

"It's not just one," JJ said from behind his brother, hearing the girl's comment. "And I doubt you could take both," he added. Sebastian wipped his head to the side to spot his younger brother who stood next to him.

"Take me and you take the whole fucking Adriel family."

Hannah studied them both, attempting to read their expressions, but she couldn't tell what they felt. She was never good at it, why did she think she'd be able to now? Feeling her temper snap, she glared at the boys, she would not let some cowardly Adriel beat her, no matter what it took.

The fact that he really had the audacity to bring other people into something that was between the two of them, it was almost laughable. He clearly underestimated her, but there was something else. Something didn't feel right. Hannah focussed her eyes and cleared her throat. If he didn't back off now, shit was going down.

Stepping up closer towards him, Hannah knew exactly how to push peoples' buttons, she was quite good at it really for better or for worse. Quickly noticing purely how tall he was, she fought to not have to physically look up to see him. Glaring at him, she looked at him all over, struggling to contain her laughter.

"You know, I think I've figured it out. Why you Adriels are so adament about using your name is scare people off. It's because you're so conceited. Simple as that. You are all so far up your own asses that you still believe that the Adriels are above everyone else, especially the Sherwoods. But maybe, just maybe, you've started to realize you guys aren't as good as you think, which is why you decided to arrange a marriage between the two gangs. I know all about that move, it's your laughably stupid attempt at keeping your limelight, your money, your power over the power who were stupid enough to live here. The truth is, us Sherwoods would beat you in a flash if it came down to it. You have pretended to be superior for so long, you actually believe it. That's the saddest part of it all" Hannah hissed at the two boys, smirking at them in turn. If this didn't show them how she felt, she didn't know what would prior to punching him in that arrogant face of his.

"You think you scare me? You think I'm afraid of you and your little friend over there? You think threatening me with your family gives you the upper hand? You must be truly conceited if you think that's going to stop me. I'll take you and your little friend right here, right now if I have to. Try me, I fucking dare you"

"No, I didn't. In fact, he actually cares about me. I doubt you do, seeing that you are a girl, alone on Adriel territory." Sebastian said, his gaze narrowed on the girl. She really knew her way around words and pushing somebodys' buttons. Especially Seb's. And when you say that the Sherwoods and the Adriels butt heads, this is what you mean. They just do exactly what they're doing right now; crawling under each other's skin until somebody leaves. Sebastian wasn't going to be the one to walk away. Sure JJ could leave, but he didn't encourage it. To be honest, he didn't want JJ to be here in the first place. This was a fight for him and this Sherwood, not two Adriels and one Sherwood. You should always have even fights, in numbers, that is.

Sebastian bit the inside of his cheek seeing her glare up at him. You could tell she was trying not to look up at him because of the height difference. If you really wanted to do that with Seb, then you would have to take a couple of steps back. But he knew that space wasn't going to be created just because he wanted it to be. No, it didn't work like that.

JJ was quick to reply. "You see, my boy Seb here is about to marry one of you sick assholes. And nobody ever said that us Adriels were above Sherwoods, because your big egos don't seem to help with that concept. If you weren't so oblivious either, especially coming on Adriel territory, at night, with no help, you for sure are the one who is conceited by believing that you can manage two Adriels, let alone one. So really, you're the one so far up your ass you cannot fucking manage to even make a good choice by not checking out where you are." JJ replied. Sebastian glared at his brother as if to say, really, after be brought up the marriage.

Sebastian had enough of this girl's bullshit. With ease, he took one step forwards and quickly pinned her up against street light, lighting up the both of their faces. He got a good glance at her face, his lit up a bit more as he was more underneath the light. He had a grasp of her shirt, a good one, and stood tall close to her. "I'm fucking trying you, what do you have to try back against me? Huh?! Scream for help?!" He raised his face, his eyes wide. Sebastian had had enough, and it was becoming obvious.

"Seb, get the fuck-" JJ was caught off by Sebastian turning his head to look at his younger brother. He clenched his jaw before looking back at the Sherwood girl.

"Better take the fucking hint," he said, making sure every word was emphasized. And by hint, he meant leaving. He wasn't very sure how the Sherwoods ran their own territory, but with Adriels, you would normally take any newcomer in to Markus for questioning. Especially Sherwoods.

That didn't seem to go through the girl's mind though.

With her back pressed onto the smooth cold metal of the streetlamp, she laughed. 'He must be conceited to think he's scaring me' Directing her attention to him, she smirked at him, they surely didn't realize the made the biggest mistake they could.

The fact that little one had let slip his name was a big mistake, if and when she got out of here, she knew exactly who to go after. He'd be begging for her forgiveness when she's through with him.

"You know, Seb, you should really get your hands off me. You don't want to harm me, your daddy won't be very happy if he sees me with any marks at all. Isn't that what you always do? Take your poor captives to your daddy to deal with because you don't have the guts to do anything yourself? You're pathetic"

"Sherwoods don't scare me," Sebastian spat, and it was obvious that what he was saying was indeed true. Sebastian never really was scared of everything, especially with everything they've been through. Robberies, deaths, murders, more death, more uncessary bloodshed, and this whole time, the Adriel family went through with just about every single action they did. It was all for a purpose, and what he was doing, had a purpose.

"Nobody did, but you, especially a Sherwood, I would fucking expect not coming onto rival gang territory. But wait, you wouldn't realize that, would you? No, because you're just some egotisical asshole." Sebastian replied, subtly licking his lips. She was just pressuring him into more anger, and he doubted she realized that. Or maybe she did. Who knew, you really couldn't tell with these Sherwoods.

Sebastian huffed as he used his nickname. If it wasn't for JJ, she wouldn't know. JJ simply stood by, and the urge to say something was written all over his soft face. He gulped as he felt Seb look back at him for a quick moment before his brother's blue gaze went back to the girl, who he still had a grasp on. A grasp that was too strong, and she wasn't phased by it. Nobody said she would though, and he took notice that she always assumed.

"You're not a captive if you're already on our land. That's tresspassing, you should know better. Huh?" Sebastian said. Obviously this appeared to be a normal neighborhood, but by looking at it with the amount of rich people in it, you could tell there was more than just ordinary people. No, they were more than just ordinary. Their names meant something to some, others not so much. Like this Sherwood girl here, which Seb still had a grasp on before he took a step back, her shirt still in his strong hold, and pushed her slightly to create space in the direction to leave.

"Careful, I don't have my father do everything. You would be quite surprised, wouldn't you, little soilder?" He questioned her. His eyes showed no mercy. He didn't care much if he harmed this girl, physically or mentally.

This guy needs to learn that no matter what territory he's in, no matter his name, the Sherwoods were not ones to mess with, especially Hannah. Her temper will end badly for them all if he decides to provoke her. By laying his hands on her, he broke her number one rule, and for that, he'd pay.

"Little? Just like your little friend over here? Lets' see, shall we?" Hannah questioned, failing to conceal her smile. She walked up to the other boy, he looked younger than Seb, but strangely similar. Brothers maybe? Hannah already knows his weak point being family, all Adriels are the same, the apple really does never fall far from the tree.

Grabbing the boy around his shoulders, she looked at Seb. Lets' see how this will play out. She carefully traced a hand over the boy's shoulder, grasping him by his jaw. She had to play this right or she'll end up in a bad place, quite quickly. Maybe she might be able to teach this Seb some manners.

"You should really be more careful with who you bring along on little adventures like these. some are very fragile, so easy to break if you're not careful enough"
