Chapter Six

Mikey

Licking my lips, I dragged the loaded pistol across my naked body. Goosebumps prickled as the cold steel slid across my skin.

Getting Jerrica to meet me in the woods was easy. I told her that if she didn't meet me, I'd create fake Instagram account and post pictures of her from the night she hooked up with Leo. I wasn't even sure it happened in the first place, but it was amazing what people would admit when faced with accusations that would obliterate their reputation.

Closing my eyes, I pictured the night I had killed her. The weather had been warm and muggy. Sweat dripped down my face as I slid the mask down, hiding my identity. A pair of gloves would hide my fingerprints.

When she saw me, she let out an ear-piercing scream. A scream that made my ears ring.

She started to run, but the click from cocking the trigger had been enough to cause her to freeze in her tracks.

I told her to put her hands up and to drop to her knees. As she followed my instructions, I cocked my head to the side and studied my prey. She was essentially a victim of circumstance. She had been retched to Calla, a bitch to others, and she loved to flirt with older men. One day, she actually bent over in front of her best friend's dad, all while wearing a skirt so short you could practically see her ass cheeks hanging out. She wiggled her butt in front of him, teasing him to the point where his face had turned bright red and couldn't formulate a proper sentence.

Easy target. Easy kill.

The corners of my lips twitched. Jerrica had cried like a baby. A big blubbering baby. Her flawless makeup ran down her face and dripped on the soft moss-covered ground beneath her knees.

I hadn't hesitated, I hadn't chickened out. I just did it.

The exhilaration of hitting her over the head as she knelt on the forest floor and prayed for forgiveness had left me breathless. The moment her skull cracked and her brains spilled out, my stomach had faltered, but only for a few seconds. The uneasy feeling was quickly replaced with a burst of energy surging through my body and a perma grin spreading across my face.

Pinning the crime on that bitch's dad was easy. I had watched them make dinner, then later that night, broken into their house and stole the knife her father had his hands all over while making his retched daughter her favorite dinner.

After smashing Jerrica's head, I grabbed the knife and plunged it into her body, repeatedly.

As the blood leaked from her lifeless body, I tore her shirt ran a bloody glove over her white bra and matching panties. Try and get out of this one, I thought with a smirk.

Closing my eyes, I held the gun up in the air and pretended to shoot.

I desperately wanted to practice. The shooting range would have been a perfect place, but I'm sure someone would have reported me for placing a picture of Calla Vinson on the target.

Even though things were taking longer than I anticipated, I knew my time would come. I had put together a failsafe plane. I wouldn't fail this time. Her father would rot in prison for the rest of his life and his disgusting, vile, daughter would be dead once and for all.

Buzz buzz.

I set the gun down and grabbed my cell phone off my nightstand.

The corners of my lips twitched in wicked anticipation.

"Hey," I purred into the phone.

The familiar voice on the other end dripped with panic.

"Whoa, slow down. It's going to be okay. I promise." I tried to keep my voice slow and steady.

His voice cracked with emotion as he choked on his words. He was a mess.

Rolling my eyes, I picked the gun back up and pretended to cock the trigger. "Babe," I said, letting my voice drip with sugary sweetness, "how about I come over and make it better?"

He fell for it. Hook, line, and sinker.

Rolling on to my stomach, I tucked the gun back under my mattress. "Okay, I just need to change and ask my parents if I can use the car, okay?"

Pausing, I listed as he sniffled into the phone.

With one more eye roll, I hopped out of bed and grabbed a t-shirt out of my closet. "Don't worry, Row. I'll be there soon."
