Artemis in Borderland (Multiple Yandere's)

Ch. 5

Artemis pov

My wound on my stomach was tender, I won't be playing any games any time soon. That leaves more time for exploring, I spend the day in the shadows exploring every nook and cranny of The Beach.

Everyone here was so carefree, I don't understand how they do it.

I skipped breakfast and hid among the people in case An was serious about me being forced to eat meals with people. I'm so used to eating so little my body is used to it, my stomach no longer grumbles and aches when it's hungry knowing it will go ignored. So what if I skip a few meals, my body can handle it.

I grunt as I bump into a body on my way up the stairs.

I look up to see the man covered in tattoos. I gulp as he stares down at me, something in his stare is unsettling. I slowly move around him only for him to angle his body to follow.

I go up the stairs and my body tenses as he turns around fully to follow me and I stop, he freezes behind me and I frown.

I send my foot back to kick him and he tumbles down the stairs, I continue up the stairs and press the elevator button, I press the first floor and press the close door button.

I hear the door to the stairway bang against the wall and my eyes widen as I see him panting as the elevator doors close. I'm quick to push the second-floor button knowing he saw I was heading to the first, once on the second floor I sprint only to bump into someone else and I gasp and shove them away from me as I pant.

"Hey, are you okay? What's wrong with you?" I look up to see Niragi, he takes one of my arms in his hands and I flinch, he stares down at my shaking hands and sits me down on a bench. he kneels in front of me, and looks up at me with concern in his eyes.

Niragi's pov

The new girl was hot, not only did she have a smoking body, a little underfed but still strong and athletic, she had a beautiful face to match.

She has been in borderland for 4 months, how a 19-year-old girl survived that long all on her own baffles me, but she acts like it. She's closed off, and reluctant to open up even when answering small and simple questions.

But there was something about her that drew me in like a moth to a flame.

Maybe it was the way she looked up at me so helplessly as she lay on the table getting stitched up by An, or her sweet scent that I was surprised I could still smell past the scent of iron, that was flowing from her wound.

She reminded me of a defenseless animal, like a small little bunny and I was the hungry wolf. I needed her near, I needed her to want to be near me. The way Chishiya took her hand and comforted her, enraged me.

I was jealous, I can admit that. But why did it have to be Chishiya, and his fucking eyes that always looked down at me, as if he was so much better than me?

I sigh, I'm addicted, she was my new obsession.

A body rams into me and I wrap my arms around the incredibly short figure.

I look down at my angel in my arms, her sweet scent taking over my senses making me freeze, this must be heaven.

She shoves me away, her skin pale and sticky, her hands and legs shakey, her eyes full of fear and terror, anger takes over me. I reach out and gently take her arm even though she tries to flinch away, I set her down on a nearby bench and kneel in front of her.

I look up at her trying to look smaller so as to not frighten her.

I would only kneel down on the dirty floor for you my love.
