Forbidden Creatures

Chpt.10 Nickalyia Riverson (Skinner)

I've been going back and fro the shooting range and gym. I needed to release all this pent up anger, sadly there was no one for me to kill when i arrive home - such a waste. Oliver quirked a brow at my arrival, without a word he was on my trail to the shooting range. Oliver and i have a very love/hate type of friendship, we'd have fist fights (a couple bruised ribs for me and black eye with a bruised jaw for him); and after fighting we'd sit  down and talk about what's bothering us. He's my best friend, we made a blood oath to always be there for each other since we were 10 years old. Papa had always taken a liking for him but after our first fist fight and him eye fucking my sister, papa's ideal fantasy of the perfect man for me vanished- however, he entrust my life to Oliver. He earned his name, Slingshot, for his first kill - he used one bullet to kill 29 people. It was a technique he created, by setting the gun a certain angle and swinging your arm when you pull the trigger allowing the bullet to curve hitting target after target.

He loaded the guns for me, set up the practice target and box filled with bullets. So i shoot, releasing a little of my anger each time, thinking that the practice target was that stupid bitch at Jayden's house. Another round of bullets for myself, for my stupidity for once allowing myself to feel - even if i am so fucking confused as to why I'm feeling like this - for someone. Oliver then followed me, wordlessly, to the gym. He just stood there, not saying anything. He wasn't being his taunting self and it's pissing me off, so punched him, you could hear a slight crack but i didn't care. He back handed me causing me to fall to the ground, i kicked him in the stomach and he fell, taking that opportunity, i straddled him and started punching him. He then flipped us, allowing him to be straddling me and squeezed my throat while slapping me across the face. After a few more kicks and slaps by both of us, we took out the ice packs out of the freezer and started icing each other.

" I slept with him"

I didn't have to tell him who 'he' was because oli was too observant for his own fucking good.

"I felt something other than lust for him but i don't know what it is and it fucking confuses me."

He remained silent, gently pressing the ice pack on my eye.

"There was a girl there, claiming to be his fiancée - i almost killed her."

His body tensed slightly, he was shocked, i have never, ever, given up the opportunity to kill someone.

"She was disrespecting papa, me and the gang. I was so close at slicing her throat open - then he came, telling me to put the knife down. His voice did something to me and for the first time i found myself fighting the urge to kill. I left, he didn't stop me and am angry that he didn't and am angry that am angry about it but am confused because I'm not suppose to feel anything!"

He stopped icing my eye and dragged to his chest, he hugged me tightly. With a shaky breath, i cried - it's been a long time since I've cried.

"You're fucking scared to feel Nica and that's fucking okay. "

I remained silent, oli's voice was thick with emotion.

"  You aren't a ray of fucking sunshine but you're you. "

" If he feels anything for you at all, he'll be back or I'll fucking drag him here myself. "

I hugged him tighter.

" If he's an asshole, we can always lynch his skin off and have fun like the two fuck ups that we are"

I laughed softly at this, i was feeling a bit better.

" Love you Nica"

"Love you Oli"

We stayed like this until the door knocked. Someone was outside for me.

I got up with Oliver and we headed to the lounge.

With Oliver towering behind me, i opened the door

" Green eyes am so sor - "

He was here.

He came!

He stopped talking when he saw my face, his eyes were filled with rage

" Who the fuck put their hands on my green eyes!!!!? "

I still couldn't believe he was here.
