Young and Beautiful Demons

Chapter 8

Skylar's POV

I pace back and forth and Nick is filling up the tank with gas he stiffened from some cars around. How the hell is he not worried

"Where the hell are they?!" I ask, slamming my hands down on the trunk again.

"Calm down, they will be here soon." Nick says calmly.

"Fuck you I can't calm down, what if they are hurt, or worse..." I keep going over the terrible images in my mind.

"They aren't. I promise. Now stop thinking like that, you're freaking me out man." Nick says as he runs his fingers through his hair.

"I'm going to go find them." I say picking up a knife.

"No, they are fine. I believe in Elizabeth."

"Yeah you might, but I don't." I spit. It was a lie. I just wanted to talk to Alyssa.

"Shut up. If you weren't a dick to Alyssa in the first place, she wouldn't have fucking left." Nick's voice raises. A biter started stumbling towards us.

"Fuck." I swore under my breath. I went and stabbed it in the eye with my hunting knife. Well, not mine. Ray's.

I see four other biters walking towards us. Wait, they aren't biters. Its Alyssa, Elizabeth, and two other men.

"Who the fuck are they?!" I ask harshly when they approach us.

"Well, we ain't fucking psychotic like you." The southern one replied back with same force.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I say through gritted teeth.

"We could hear your bitching from the department store. You sounded like you were having a damned duck fit." He spits at me.

"What the fu-" I raise my hand. I see Alyssa step in between us.

"Stop it Skylar. I met them in the department store. They were trying to save me." She says calmly.

"Save you from what?!" I say, anger still boiling.

"We were tryin' to protect her from you. We thought you were psycho, and meetin' ya, I still don't think it's safe for Doll to be around you." He says looking straight into my eyes. His nick name for her irritated me even more.

"Don't call her that." I growl.

"Don't get your panties in a twist." He jokes.

"Stop it. Both of you. You are acting like fucking little kids." Elizabeth chimes in.

"Who are you guys?" Nick asks, calmly. Why the fuck is everyone so calm.

"I'm Glenn." The Asian looking guy looked at Elizabeth and then held out his hand.

"Nick." He said, shaking his hand.

"I'm Sam." Sam didn't hold out his hand, but he nodded his head.

"I'm Skylar." I say sternly.

Awkward silence.

"Look, They have been looking for a group to join for awhile and I-"

"No" I cut Alyssa off. "No, do you not remember the last time we had six in our group?" I say harshly.

"Skylar." Alyssa squeaks. I can see tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Alyssa, I'm sorry." I say, realizing what I did. I reach for her but she cowered away.

"Don't touch me." She whispers as she turns back to the car.
