Leather Jacket: Book #1 [COMPLETED]

Chapter 12

Nikki's P.O.V

I did it. I shot Lucas Tucker. For him being a psychopath I was kinda scared. The arrow went straight into his neck. Then boom, bye bye Lucas. I had been good at shooting arrows for the past few years now. It will never change the way I am now.

The cops came up to my. Their face was in shock. I drop the crossbow. One of them raised their eyebrow. "I surrender. I know I killed him. I'll take it. I'll go to jail for killing a person" I hold out my hands for them to put on the cuffs.

"What do you mean? We're not going to take you to jail for stopping a serial killer. You should be awarded not taken to jail." One of the cops said. I drop my hands to my side. "Really?" They nod. "Yeah we were going to put him in the electric chair today. But he got away."

"So I guess it doesn't really matter. Thank you for your service ma'am." Another cop spoke. I was completely shocked. Then reporters came running around me asking me a lot of questions. I know that Piper can see me on tv right now.

Piper's P.O.V

"Uhhh guys?" I point at the tv while everyone talked to Dally. Everyone turns their heads to look at the tv. "What the hell did Nikki do this time?" "It looks like she killed Lucas." I read the caption. It said: 14 year old Nikki Cade saves the entire town of Tulsa from a serial killer.

"B-but. HOW?!?" Pony sat there in shock. Next thing we know she is handed her crossbow and in the background they are picking up Lucas's body. The reporters asked if she can demonstrate on how she killed Lucas.

"Well he ran out of arrows and he started running up to me. So I look in my bag and see my one and only explosive arrow. So I take it out as he's running towards me. Then the arrow wouldn't get in the chamber. So he was about 5 feet away from me"

"So then I finally got the arrow in the chamber and shot him right in the neck like this." She pointed the arrow at the dummy and shot it perfectly into the dummy's neck. Perfectly. The cameraman held the camera up close to see where she shot.

"Wow she is a good shot" Soda said wide-eyed. "And that is why you need to practice what you want to be or do in life. You wanna do it right? Then you better start practicing." She smiled. "Uhhh hey guys?"

"Yeah what's up Pony?" Darry looks at him. "Remind me later on life to never mess with my girlfriend ever again? Will y'all do that for me?" Everyone nods. Including me. "Well we should get to bed everyone, we have a big day tomorrow." Darry says.

Nikki's P.O.V

Before all the cameras went off, there was a loud bang near by. I ran to the edge of the cliff and see a house on fire and a man in a black hoodie running away from it. I hesitated for a moment then run down the hill.

I have saved the town once. I can do it again. I look at the burning building and back at the people. They are all staring at me, I run up to a lady that just came out of the building. "Is everyone out?!"

She shook her head no. I run through the front door and through the house searching every single bedroom there is. I see kids in the bathroom screaming. They look about my age so I told them to climb out the window that's behind them.

I run up the stairs, search every room there is up there. I see a small 5 year old sitting in the corner of her room. I run up to her and run out the front door with her. The front door was about to cave in. I don't think I can make it in time.

I throw her out the doorway. Just in time she made it. But how do I get outta this place? I ask myself. I run to the back door. The handle is burning hot I touched it. I scream, I look at my hand it has a burn mark on it. My eyes are watering up from the smoke.

I can't breathe. I go to the bathroom and see the window still open. I climb through it. I got out! I made it! I save an entire family! I thought. I was happy until I stumbled out to the front of the house where everyone else was.

Piper's P.O.V

Before Darry turned off the tv there was more chaos. We watched until Nikki collapsed onto the ground covered in ashes. They are doing C.P. R to her. Is she alive? "Well?" One reporter asked? No response from a firefighter. He stood up picked her up and....
