***ADDIE'S POV***
It was time to deal with these men and the situation they were threatening me with. Nolan and the others would be waiting for me, if they weren't already on their way to find me. I wanted this situation dealt with before they even knew the extent of what was going on.
Clyde knew something was going to happen right away. He ordered his men to attack even as he started forward. Three of the other men rode with him, but the others stayed put. They clearly didn't want to be hurt, and they were suddenly wondering if this was even a good idea.
As quickly as I did with the others, I placed barriers around the men who stayed put. They weren't attacking me, at least not yet, so they would stay safe in this battle. Clyde and the others, however, were the ones who needed to be stopped. And subsequently punished.
