Sleeping With The Enemy (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Thirty One

--Emmett's Point Of View--

"Psst! Don't stand out in the open!" Finny hissed down from the tree snapping me out of my trance "Holy shit man, what the fuck did you do out here?" He gasped hanging down from one of the branches to get a closer look.

"Uhm. PMS?" I smiled innocently and he gave me the dirtiest look in the world pelting an acorn down at my head.

"You're a boy! I know you bottom like a girl but still!" He yelled down in annoyance suddenly stopping and flailing his arms at me but my slow reaction didn't block the bullet slicing through my shoulder.

"Son of a gun!" I yelped gripping my shoulder as someone's hand wrapped into my head and yanked my head back the cold press of a knife dug into my throat, I struggled against their grip to wrestle my yugake off my other hand.

"Please, the glove won't do shit" They sneered piercing the skin with the blade of their knife.

"The glove won't but my hands will" I laughed grabbing his arm in my hands and it exploded into purple masses of burning flesh tearing the muscle and tendons away from the bone. "That'll teach you to fuck with my skin" I snapped snatching my dagger from its holster and swiftly painted the grass with his blood.

"Shit man have you got a split personality?" Finny appeared next to me kicking at the demonoid's charred and bloodied corpse.

"Don't know, surivival?" I shrugged heading back over the tree and scrambled back up to the platform, I stuck my head back in the hollow where Ren was curled up under one of the blankets.

"Were you the one who killed Lux?" He asked looking back down at her body lying there.

My eyes started to burn and my throat started closing over "Yeah.." I mumbled rubbing my eye with the heel of my hand.

"It's the harsh reality of it Emmett I know" Finny squeaked patting my shoulder apologetically ducking into the hollow.

"I'll sleep with Cressida to keep an eye on him" I mumbled sitting down next to Cressida who was still dead to the world.

"We need to fix your shoulder though" He protested reaching out try and touch the red oozing out of the hole in my shirt.

"It's fine, it's a flesh wound" I rolled my eyes crawling under the blanket next to Cressida.

"Lemme stitch it up" He snapped yanking my jacket off and shoving the bottom of my shirt up.

"It's fine-" I cut off mid sentence by the blindingly painful stab of the needle being jammed through my skin and being pulled shut multiple times before shifting around to my front to repeat the torture that I thought he was secretly enjoying.

"Okay, go cuddle your brother in law" He beamed pushing me back down onto the ground crawling back over to where Ren was asleep.

"I need a big spoon" Cressida mumbled incoherently curling up against my side trying to conserve some body heat shivers wracking his body.

"Then you need to find a boyfriend then genius, you're cute enough for it" I laughed wrapping an arm around his shoulder tucking the blanket tighter around him falling into a fitful sleep.

"Wakey wakey. We might be going home earlier than we thought" Ren's cheeky smile appeared over me shaking me like a ragdoll.

"Why?" I yawned propping myself up on my elbows finding that the spot next to me was gone and Cressida was sitting up chewing on something from an open can he was sharing with Ren.

"There only four more mercenaries to take out, then two we can leave" Finny grinned folding up the blankets and shoving them back into a bag.

"We shouldn't stay then, we can get it over with and go home" I groaned rubbing the throbbing in my shoulder from last night.
