Low Life (Ziggy Berman X Male Reader)

I |Welcome To Camp| I

3rd Person Pov

Ziggy Berman ran through the woods to escape Sheila, she had recently been caught stealing money from her cabin, her and her popular Sunnyvale friends had spotted her and given chase and Ziggy was doing a pretty good job weaving through the trees until she lost focus and came in contact with a clothesline from one of the popular boys.

Sheila and her friends dragged her while chanting about witches and tied ropes to her hands. They hung her by her wrists as they continued their chant. Sheila reached into Ziggy's pocket and pulled out a bunch of crumpled ones.

"Well well well, what's this?" Sheila said faking surprise.

"Goddamn thief" Will scorned.

"No no no, she's no thief, she's possessed, by the witch, that's the only way to explain her psychotic behaviour...well that or she's got a hardon for Mason Crook and wants to impress him" Sheila laughed.

"Fuck you!" Ziggy yelled and hit her across the face with her elbow. "Guess we're even now"

"You know what they did to Sarah Fier right, they hanged her, from this very tree. She would've died forever if you do what you do to witches...you burn them, gimme your lighter" Sheila ordered. She then ordered her legs be held, everyone could see what she was doing and pleaded for her not too but that didn't stop her from holding the lit lighter to her skin and singing a bit off.

"Okay, that's enough" A voice called out, everyone looked around to the source of the noise, but couldn't locate it. "Up here...yeah hi" 

A boy with messy brown hair dropped down from the tree and stood to face Sheila who looked surprised to see him.

"Uh Mason...Hi...didn't see ya there" Sheila says nervously. "Why are you...here?" 

"Funny you should ask actually...I was trying to get my beauty sleep but then I hear this...noise...what was that noise exactly?" Mason says sarcastically.

"Uh...I don't know what noise your talking about, it was probably Ziggy yelling like a bitch" Sheila scoffs at her. Mason continued facing Sheila as he motioned for Will to let Ziggy down, he heard Ziggy thud to the floor and approached closer to Sheila.

"Now it would be a shame if...Nick Goode were to find out about this little...mistake, wouldn't you agree?" Mason smiled to a now blushing Sheila.

"I...uh...um...yes" Sheila said nervously as Mason smiled.

"Great...well maybe if you apologize to Zig Zag over here and then I'll take her to the nurse...and if your lucky maybe I won't steal that watch you keep under your bed" Mason taunted.

"That's my grandmother's watch...y-you cant steal that" Sheila said nervously.

"Did you miss the first part or are you as stupid as the others say you are...apologize" Mason said in his joking manner but with a hint of seriousness.

"Sorry Ziggy" Sheila mumbled.

"What was that?" Mason asked.

"SORRY ZIGGY!" She yelled.

"Great...you can go" Mason said as Sheila marched off. "That means all of you" 

All the other kids started to run away and Ziggy also began to storm off, Mason grabbed her hand and made her face him.

"What?" She asked angrily, Mason reached into his pocket and pulled out the same crumpled pair of ones and handed it to her.

"Your money...y'know I was a lot like you when I first started stealing, naive and inexperienced" Mason laughed.

"How did you even get this back from Sheila?" Ziggy asked as they walked back.

"Well what can I say...I'm magic with my hands" Mason laughed as he nudged Ziggy, she tried not to smile but couldn't wipe the dumb grin as she rolled her eyes.

"Should probably go to nurse lane...wanna join?" She asked.

"Sure...and I gotta ask...earlier Sheila said you might have a hard on for me and you wanted to impress me...well?" Mason smirked.

"I'm not answering that" Ziggy rolled her eyes.

"Its not a no, so I'll take what I can get...and for the record you did kinda impress me, not many people can take getting burned like that" Mason praised.

"And it just means so much coming from you" She tried to act sarcastic but Mason could see the blush on her face. "Plus Sheila and practically every girl here's all over you" 

"Yeah but their not my type" Mason admitted.

"Oh really, and what is your type" Ziggy said sarcastically.

"About yay height, freckles, ginger, nice eyes...you wouldn't happen to know anyone around here like that would you?" Mason smirked.

"Your insufferable" She scoffed as the two walked to the nurses office, both getting a blue shirt to the face. They entered the nurses office to find it empty.

"Yo nurse Lane...I'm not the one injured this time, told you I was improving!" Mason yelled out.

"Come on nurse Lane I could die any minute!" Ziggy yelled out.

"So feel free to take your time" Mason joked as Ziggy punched his arm.

The two spotted a door slightly opened and due to both of their intrusive natures they entered, inside the room was a book with the 'witches mark' on it. 

"What are you doing?" Nurse Lane mumbled, scaring the two of them.

"Jesus...scared the shit out of me" Mason breathed.

"Ziggy Ziggy Ziggy, what have you done" Nurse Lane tutted as she saw the burn. Nurse Lane applied some medicine to Ziggy's arm as the two sat on the bed opposite her. 

"So um...what's the witches mark?" Ziggy asked.

"You know about my daughter right...Ruby Lane?" Nurse Lane mumbled.

"I...uh I don-" Ziggy tried saying but was interrupted.

"Of course you do, everyone does, what do they say?" Nurse Lane asks.

"Didn't she like...go crazy at a party and kill a bunch of people?" Mason questions.

"Eight people died, she killed herself too. She was such a sweet girl, had a sweet voice, she was in choir, wanted to be a singer. I was so proud of her." She says as she applied a bandage to Ziggy's arm. "Doctors said it was a psychotic break, but the kids say Sarah Fier made her do it" 

"Nurse that's a little tight" Ziggy says as her arms bandaged.

"What do you think, cos I don't think you go from a sweet girl to ripping someone's insides out with a switchblade" She ignores.

"Nurse Lane" Ziggy tried to get her to stop but she continues.

"People usually kill for a reason and sometimes that reason is justified, sometimes its not murder, sometimes its necessary" Nurse Lane continued to rant.

"Its hurting me" Ziggy mumbled as Mason's head snapped up.

"Sometimes its good-" Nurse Lane continued but was cut off by Mason.

"Cant you hear?" Mason said as he grabbed Nurse Lanes wrist and pushed it away from her.

"...Once a day for three days" She resumed as if everything was normal, the door to the room swung open and Ziggy's sister Cindy entered.

"Hi nurse Lane!" She beamed.

"Hi Cindy..." Nurse Lane trailed off.

"Ziggy...Crook" Cindy said with significantly less enthusiasm.

Let me know what you thought...K bye
