I'm dressed in camo thinking about my woman and the fact that she doesn't want that nerd geek.
I felt relieved when she admitted it but I'm even more relieved to know that she basically admitted to wanting me. We even almost kissed and that only tells me she is going to be mine soon enough. I hated the fact that we were interrupted but that just means that when we do finally kiss it will be like heaven. I probably won't want to stop kissing her after.
The sound of howling from a distance brings me back to what I'm doing. I look up at the night sky as I try to listen for any movement around me. It's dead silent except for the occasional sound of wild animal or insect so the dumb fuck has to make some sort of noise when moving around.
I'm in the middle of nowhere on an abandoned farm.
The owner of the farm put a hit on his son in law or something like that. Apparently, he killed his daughter and then threw the rest of the family out of the farm. The guy knows I'm here. I entered the home and then he ran out so now I'm looking for him around acres of land.
Heavy sounds sort of like footsteps sound toward the barn. Hiding within the shadows, I make my way over. I stand beside the doors of the barn that are slightly open. I listen closely to hear him running around in there. With my rifle in hand, I aim it toward the door waiting for him to come out.
It then goes silent and I'm sure he found another way out. I open the barn to see animals sleeping but a back door wide open. I go through the entire place quickly just to realize he is outside again. I walk out the barn in time to see a shadow run toward an old pickup truck.
Tired of this little game of hide and seek, I go toward him. I manage to sneak up behind him. He's holding a fucking machete in his hands while peaking over the corner of the truck trying to look for me.
"I'm behind your dumbass." My voice causes him to literally jump.
He suddenly turns around attempting to behead me with the broad and heavy knife. He obviously misses but somehow manages to slightly hit my arm. I ignore the stinging of the deep cut and using a fast kick, I knock the weapon out of his hand. He tries to reach down to grab it but with a hard and swift punch to the face I knock him down.
I kick the weapon further away as I aim my rifle right between his eyes. There is a pleading expression on his face but before he can utter a single word I pull the trigger, exploding his face and brain.

The sound of my cell phone interrupts my peaceful sleep. With closed eyes I reach for my nightstand to answer it.
I put it to my ear as I attempt to sit up with my wounded arm. "Hello."
"Good morning, Silas." Orion's voice is what gets me to open my eyes fully.
"Orion, good morning." I try to make my voice sound like I've been awake as a smile makes its way onto my face.
"Do you want to come have breakfast with me and Cat at the house?" He gets straight to what he called me for.
