Not Food (The Crafting Dead! Red X Reader) [ON HOLD]

Tricks into Deals (Red)

"Oh, it is." Nick said. I noticed he was holding a rope and it seemed to pull him at times when he was and wasn't talking. He notices I was looking at the rope, "Oh! I almost forgot! I have a little someone you lost.~ Don't worry, we've taken good care of her.~"

He pulls the rope and out of the shadows...

"Let her go you fu-" I was stopped mid sentence  when three of Nick's men came out of no where and aimed their guns at my head.

Standing my ground, I calmed myself. Y/N didn't look hurt or anything, only bandages from the gun shots that still pissed me off. Fed well too. She was glaring at Nick and kept trying to get out the ropes by pulling at it.

Nick pulled his gun out and aimed it at her head. "You better stop or this bullet goes through your fucking head," he puts the gun down when she stops. "Now, where were we? Oh, you, Red. I came here to make a deal. An exchange."

I tilt my head, "Exchange? What is there to exchange? We're in the middle of an apocalyptic ending to this world!"

Y/N could tell what I was trying to do. I know it's my time. She started shaking her head "No." It hurt me to see her with tape on her mouth and wrists tied up with rope that I know was burning through her skin.

"I want your head. Your head for the girl."
"Dream it."

Nick then again, pulled his gun out and pointed it at Y/N's head. "The head, or she dies. Make your choice Red."

I could feel the world go into slow motion. I had to make a choice.. I have to make the RIGHT choice.

As I knelt down to the ground slowly, I could hear
Y/N screaming through the tape.
Tears began to fall off my face. This is my end. My end to keep Y/N alive. She will never know how I feel for or about her.

Click...

'What?'

"Mmm. Beautiful picture. Beautiful picture indeed."

I look up seeing a camera in Nick's hand.
'I'm so confused.'

"So she IS your weakness. What a nice thing to know.~"

"Did you really just trick me?" I yelled out in anger.

Nick laughed. "Of course I just did! You're not the only one with tricks up their sleeve."

Nick then pulled out a pocket knife and whispered something into Y/N's ear. He cut the rope around her wrists and took off the tape from her mouth.

For a few seconds, Y/N stood there in shock. She then snapped out of wherever she was and ran toward me.

She hugged me. The hug was long.

"You fucking idiot! I- You shouldn't have done that you stupid, fucking bastard." She yelled.

I could feel her tears. I could feel mine.

When this was happening, I didn't notice Nick and his men left. I didn't see which direction they went, nor does it matter right now.

We need to get back home, if it's still there.
