Bloody hands

Chapter 5.1: Oh that...

Selena's POV

Sadly, one of the tents had holes in it so we probably had to fit four people into one tent.
"So, Jack, what are our tasks?" I asked. He put the map down on the ground.
"Fishing, gathering firewood. Who does what?" He looked at everyone.

"Selena and I (with emphasis on the I) are gonna get firewood." Ryan shouted and stood next to me before Pete could even speak up. I would rather go alone but no one ever asks ME.

Ryan pulled me along with him and we walked through the woods. The weather was good over the last few days so we didn't have to search long.
He touched me 'accidentally' every now and then but I couldn't really do much because I had my arms full of firewood, so I had to talk to him later about that. When we had enough wood, we began to walk back but no one was there yet.

Ryan took the firewood from me and I headbutted him.
"What was that for?" he asked and rubbed his head.
"That was for the whole thing you pulled before."
"Oh, that...How about I make you a nice little fire to make it up to you?" I rolled my eyes and sat next to him on the ground while he tried to ignite the firewood with a small lighter.

"I thought we weren't allowed to bring stuff like that?"

"Do you rather want to be cold the whole time?" he asked back, annoyed. He put the burning piece of wood on the campfire site, I shook my head and held my hands over the flames.

It was already beginning to become dark and warmth was gone soon. Jack came back when it was dark but Pete was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did you leave number four?" Ryan asked and gestured for his brother to join us.
"He said he had to pee but didn't come back. I'm sure he'll find us while we're eating." Jack threw some fish my way and I began to clean them. I had done that sometimes before, Dad liked to go fishing.

When Pete still didn't come back we decided to go to sleep until he would come back. We put out the fire and got in the tent.
"Who's gonna lie where?" I asked.
"The lady in the middle." Jack replied and laid down on my left.
>Okay, but just for this night. < I thought to myself. I laid down on my back and drifted off to sleep. If only I knew what would happen that night.

Jack's POV (some hours earlier)

I hate you right now, Ryan! Why could he stroll through the forest with our angel while I have to fish with this idiot?!
Ah, yes, Ryan was older... that only makes me hate him more.
"Hey, what do you think of Selena?" Pete asked and I thought that he only asked to disturb the silence.
"I think she's great. I mean, look at her..." I stopped abruptly to not begin rambling.
"Oh, I looked at her often enough! How about we set up the other tent too, what do you think?"

I just shrugged.
"If you want to share a tent with Ryan so badly then go do that." I replied and pulled a fish out of the river. Pete began to laugh.
"Not like that. I thought that you could share a tent with your brother so I could be alone with Selena if you understand what I mean." I understood what he meant, I understood TOO well. I put the fishing rod away and turned to him.

"I don't think she would like that." I stood up to seem taller and Pete had to lean his head back to look at me. "SHE doesn't have to like it as long as I have my fun!" he said with an evil grin. You couldn't miss the innuendo in his sentence.
"YOU WANT TO WHAT?" I screamed at him.

I could feel myself getting red with anger. It seemed like I provoked him because he stood up and pushed me back.
"I do what I want! You can't tell me anything! If I want the girl then I'm gonna get her!"
He pushed me again but he just signed his death warrant. Because it was my turn to push now. And he stood with his back to the river, not the forest.

"You will not touch my angel!" I shouted at him and pushed him back.
"You will not hurt her." Pete was just some centimetres from the riverbank.
"You will not do anything anymore."

I punched him in the face and he fell backwards into the river, where his head hit a rock and the water carried his body down the river.
>What did I just do?!<
I just killed someone. But he had it coming. He wanted to harm Selena, my angel. It was his own fault. How unlucky.

I got the fish and went back to the camping site. My brother and the blonde angel were already there.
"Where did you leave number four?" Ryan asked and did a little gesture that probably meant 'sit down'.
"He said he had to pee but didn't come back. I'm sure he'll find us while we're eating."
I lied and threw the fish Selena's way. She began to clean them with such precision that I almost understood Pete's way of thinking. Almost.

As expected Pete didn't show up. He was laying in the river somewhere. We decided to go to sleep and got in the tent.
"Who's gonna lie where?" Selena asked somewhat shyly. She didn't need to be scared!
"The lady in the middle." I replied and laid down on her left because I knew which way she would turn in her sleep.

A/N: Next one made his way into the grave (or river).

Today's question:

Do you like hiking/ mountain climbing?
