Pretty Hurts - Erik KIllmonger x reader

Chapter 5

Trigger Warning!!!!

I was playing with my new Rubix cube as I smelled my mom making shrimp and grits (my favorite) as daddy rushed inside of our apartment. He looked scared, I have never seen him look so panicked before. I sat in silence as I watched him storm to the kitchen where momma was "Nikoia! We have to go now. Its happened. We dont have much time!" my mom looked at me with a worried face then looked back to my father "I understand." My mom stopped what she was doing and went straight to her and daddy's room packing all of our things. "Babygirl I need you to get up and go put on your coat and shoes" My dad said in a different accent. I was confused but I stood from where I was playing on the floor of my living room. I put on my sketchers and my coat as i watched him use a knife to pick up our floor boards. Underneath the floor boards was a big bag of cash and two guns. "Daddy where are we going?" he looked at me with a soft expression "Babygirl we have to leave. Its not safe here anymore." he said as he went to our kitchen and moved our fridge revealing a secret passageway. "Nikoia! NOW!" he shouted as momma walked in and grabbed our bags taking the and tossing them into the secret passageway "Daddy Im scared!" I say with tears flowing down my eyes. "I know baby but as long as I am here nothing will ever harm you " Ulukhanyiso Iwam ebumnyameni nesitshixo sezikumkani zam" (you are the light in my darkness and the key to my kingdoms). I couldnt understand how or why but i knew exactly what he said to me. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! shots rippled through the air "Y/n!" my dad tackled me and used himself to shield my body. Shots rippled through the air for what felt like hours. My ears were ringing and i was wet.......i didnt pee myself. My momma came rushing in from the kitchen "James! Y/n! Nooo God please not my baby!" she managed to pull my dad off of me and she looked at me with horror in her eyes. I was covered in blood.......my daddy's blood. I looked over at my daddy, he had been shot four times and was losing too much blood "Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! Please!" i said as a grabbed his hand he opened his eyes "Babygirl you have to go, Im not gonna make it. Remember you daddy loves you no matter where you are Im always with you Y/n....my precious Y/n" His grip on my hand loosende and his eyes stayed open with a faltered smile but he was gone. My mom heard footsteps approaching as she grabbed me I was still looking at my dad. I couldnt move, I couldnt breathe, my daddy was gone. "Y/n we have to go!" My mom said with tears in her eyes as she kissed daddy on his forehead one last time she whsipered "It should have been me james.....it should have been me"

y/n.....

y/n.....

"Y/n" I jumped up flustered. It was a dream. It was all a dream. I didnt even realize that Erik and I were cuddling underneath my blanket. My head was on his shoulder and he had his arm wrapped around me. "Get up princess, the plane just landed" erik whispers in my ear as I stir awake. "Ok y-yea"

I found my way to Layla and Leon and they both just smirked at me. "Yall childish forreal" I scowled at the both of them, but on the inside I was kinda thankful I had another run in with that handsome stranger. They both just laughed and we walked off the plane. As we were headed to baggage claim i felt a familiar feeling like I was being watched. Im trippin. I just brushed it off.

"So how was YOUR flight thiccums?" leon said with a smirk as i hit him in the arm "That shit was not funny! When he came and sat down i started feeling all up on him, thinking he was you! I even asked him if he was on steroids!" Leon and Layla paused and looked at each other then at me. We all busted out laughing "Girl! You did wha- hahahahaha! I knew it was gonna be good but not that damn good!" Layla said in between laughs.

"Whatever lets just grab our shit and go before i embarrass myself any further" I say trying to crouch down and grab my heavy ass suitcase. Seriously though I should have packed lighter because I cant pick it up "Can one of yall help me please?" I say fustrated. I hate drawing attention to myself but I always do by embarrasing myself. I see a large hand pick it up, I look up and see its Erik.....of course it is. "Oh thanks, you didnt have to do that. I know its really heavy" he smirks and says "Nah its not but for you sure" I go to grab it and he moves it out of my reach. I look at him confused "Where is yall ride? I can carry it there for you"
