Chapter Seven - "Child Lock"

Chapter Seven Theme Song: East of Eden - Zella Day

Basira St'Clair | First POV
Location: Paris, France

The car ride was deadly silent; except for the sound of a lighter flicking on and off. The annoying sound of the metal clicking together was about to drive me crazy and I wasn't too far from falling off the deep end.

I shuddered at how my night had been going.

After seen a man get shot and die right in front of me; having specs of his red blood splatter still stuck on to my skin made we want to puke. My nails dug into my thighs as I tried to keep myself calm.

Honestly I didn't know where the guy 'Otello' was driving us too; My eyes were focused on the different buildings that the car drove passed. I no doubt needed to be getting dropped of at the nearest Asylum.

I was reaching my break point!

*Click*

That's it! My head flicked towards Nico as I watched him click the lighter again. He attentively watched the yellow/large flame come out for just a second before he clicked it closed and repeated the action once again.

"Your a pyromaniac" I found myself muttering to him before turning my head back towards the window.

The sound of the lighter had finally stopped clicking. THANK YOU!

"A pyromaniac? I never heard of it" He replied back in confusion.

"Google it! I'm sure you'll find some characteristics that fit your own psychotic ones" I said harshly.

The car abruptly filled with Nico laugh. Which had me flickering my head back over to him. His lips were parted into a little smile as his straight white teeth were showing. He actually looked cute; had a nice smile. The laugh he bursted into sounded completely foreign coming from a man like him.

"She is funny, no?" He asked out loud with a smile still on his face as he looked at me.

"Yes very" The driver Otello agrees looking from the rear view at the two of us; I only glared at him.

"A comedian is she not?" Jaxon added; which made me childishly kick the back of his seat

"You think I'm psychotic sweetheart? It warms my heart" Nico said in a amused tone.

I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic with me or if he really took my words as a actual compliment.

"Among other things" I tell him holding his stare.
