Chapter 21

              .

            “You’re being really negative,” The demon speaks, with one hand on his new baby’s steering wheel, softly as if it was an actual delicate thing. A bullet proof car is the most indelicate thing in the world of cars. I bet I could kill something off with this car. Maybe kill Daphne, Seth or Sam and the kidnappers with it, if I find a way to steal Demon’s car. It will be a worthy sacrifice.

          Demon was completely oblivious to the actual situation. Apparently, he told me the resort was a luxurious spa in the middle of the woods. His mother gave this trip as a present for something he didn’t know that he did right. You’d think he’d know his own mother.

          “In a few minutes you’ll get it,” I mumble so quiet that he probably didn’t hear it.

           “Set-”

             “Mention his name and I’ll cut off your tongue with the wind shield wiper,” I threaten with honesty. Have I ever lied to him before? He looks past the threat and smiles happily “A spa full of girls to date and hearts to break.” I heavily breathe out.

           “Okay, apparently you still don’t have a hint to what my job is and who I am. I’m your public paid girlfriend hired by your mother,” I emphasised “to keep you off other girls and to stay occupied with me until you reached eighteen. By then, you can be free.” Sort of, if I’m around, old habits will die hard.

            “Oh, so is my actual princess is going to save me from your psychotic problems?”

               “Demon, let’s face it. Nobody will bother to save us,” It was honesty “So you’re stuck with me until then. That means, keep your eyes off others.” I cross my arms and narrowed my eyes even though he didn’t bother to give one glance at me.

               “You’re real cute when you're jealous,” His word sweetly ached out. And out he came with the teasing, all over again. He carelessly teases me now because of what happened. Well there was no point to being all depressed about it. I’m tired of being depressed and worrying about everything. It’s too bad to what’s lying up ahead, is more worry and stress. The silence continued, well it wasn’t completely utterly silent since there was music but we stayed quiet. I enjoyed the view around us.

             “Why did you force me to dress like this anyway. There’s this thing called a heater that they have in the resort that keeps you warm. Didn’t your apartment have it? You should be familiar with it,” He brings on my stupidity. He’ll be crying out of joy and happiness later at me for making him wear heavy clothing. Then again, I should have wear light clothing so he can die out there.

                “I know what a heater is Demon,” I sourly reply.

                 “Just checking,” He shrugs with a hint of ‘I’m still calling you stupid’ tone. The nature wrapped all around us. Trees were covering a shack that was nearby. .He smoothly drove the car uphill into a dry dirt road.Demon scrunched up his face at the thought of his car getting dirty because of the road and that’s when a little suspicion rose to his face. He was utterly confused. I knew everything that was going on.

                  “This was not on the brochure. Why does it look like your garbage?” Demons eyes lurked over at the small shack made out of complete wood. I slipped on a smile at the woodsy appearance. It reminded me of hiking. There were many other rich people with cars parked and confused faces. Two girls were leaning against a Ferrari, neon blue and talking between each other and for some reason, I could see the crazy look in their eyes even if to others they may appear normal. Another girl, in a hot red BWM, perfect blond hair, neck lengthen and looked like a model. She was talking to someone across from her car. To a guy that appeared to be-

NATHAN!

I didn’t know he was coming here!

What is he doing here!?

            “You see why you need to be warm?” I ask him.

              “Oh I see why I need to be hot,” He slips up a big smile. What on earth is he smiling about? And that’s when his eyes glances over the model, and a girl that looked like a mini Megan fox.The mini Megan fox winked at Demon. As a public girlfriend, I must do my duty. I send the girl a nasty stare and she rolls her eyes in respond.

                “You better stay away from them,” I sing and turn to face Demon, to find there was an outlined empty spot of where he should be. This is not the first time this happened. I mumble a few words under my breath and stomp my way toward him.

“Why hey there Misty, you look beautiful as usual,” Demon as player, on. Misty cracked a smile with wanting seduced eyes.

                “I see you’re you as usual,” She smirked “I’m ready if you want to go out with me again?” Excuse moi, no I don’t think so. Don’t make me go French, Canadian or gang member on you! Demon was ignoring my existence once more. At the moment his mouth opened of what I knew what was going to come out, I kicked him in the shin. He almost yelped out like a girl bust stopped.

                “What?” He speaks through his teeth with vengeful eyes directing toward me.

                “You forgot something,” I sweetly said.

                “Like what?” He annoyingly asked.

                 “You’re pride,” I dryly speak “Oh and look at that,” I knock on his head “you forgot your brain or do you even own one?” Good Demon, he was controlling his anger very well. If he wanted to play this game, then I’ll play but I’m going to win.

             “Are you going out with her?” Misty asks with pointing fingers. I’d like to break that finger off, it was rude to point.

             “Oh yes, isn’t that right honey?” I fake a smile and punched him over the shoulder but made it look playful. Demon has been conditioned to go with the plan or it’s good bye to his car, a message from his mother.

            “Yes it is, sweetie,” He faked another smile and gave me a full punch right back. We were ready to kill each other. Misty bought our act though.

            “Okay whatever, when you’re not dating someone, call me,” Misty walks like a runway toward another group of guys. How much did you want to bet that she’d go chase after Demon weather he’s dating someone or not?

            “I see you're just as convincing as before Lexis,” Nathan startles me up from behind. I still didn’t know why he would be here. Did he volunteer to be a part of this or didn’t even have a clue?

            “Ruining people’s life is her profession after all,” Demon snickered.

            “Just your life Demon,” I correct.

            “You’re still not dating her?” Nathan sighs in disbelieve. Did he not remember that I had a-oh right, I don’t have one anymore. I’m a single girl tied with a fake romance relationship with one of my guy friends. That sounds awkward.

             “You mean the psycho, lunatic, of course not? You’re my best friend, you’d know that, and plus, psycho and I agreed to being friends,” Demon states.

             “Your definition of lunatic is smart and psycho is normal,” I correct and sigh “I still can’t believe you’re best friends with the demon and serious about Karen. How did you and Karen get together anyway?”

             “You heard the song Queen of hearts?” Nathan asks “That’s what happened.”

             “Awe, that’s so sweet,” I pouted and send a disgusted look “How can you be best friend’s with a demon.”

            “I still can’t believe that you make her like you easily,” Demon sighs in frustration.

              “Well,” I start to think of something “Maybe if you acted normal and didn’t play games before I might have-” I begun “No Not even then.” Nathan came out with a laugh. I could see that he was about to bring some kind of way to defend the demon.

               “Come on Lexis, Damon’s not really a demon. He’s...” He stops for a long time “...no. But he can be...not that either...when....no...” Nothing came up and I laughed even louder as Demons’ jaw dropped. We already had a similar conversation before but might as well have it again.

                “Well let’s just say Damon has a,” He partly laughed “heart somewhere very deep, deep, deep, deep, deep, deep-“

                 “We get it, it’s hard to find something good about me,” Demon interrupts.

                 “There is no good in you,” I state as a matter of fact “I’d consider you good in the fact that you’re helping me with something but that could get me arrested.” It was nice to talk to Nathan again, since he was such a nice guy compared to the Demon. Karen was honestly really lucky to have him.

                  “Lexis, you do know that the way Demon used to talk to you before you got a boyfriend, he’d talk about you like I talked about Karen. He said ‘the psycho is giving me feelings.’” Bringing up the past wasn’t a very good idea. Those days were over and it was nice to just be friends. Maybe Nathan had a point into something but still, it wasn’t the same.

                 “Not anymore, don’t get any ideas,” Demon warned me.

                “Hmm, oh okay, we’ll see in a couple of days if the player falls for me this time,” I smoothly let the words fall out. Nathan largely smiled as if he had suspicion that something was going to come up. Obviously, I was only joking. I glance at Demon with questioning look if he could fall for me, being sarcastic of course.

               “Don’t give me that look, you know Nathan is just playing with you,” Demon says.

               “You’ve been with Karen for a while, it isn’t a lie right?” I smartly ask and up came deadly smile on his face.

              “Why...? Is that interest in your eyes for me?” He sharply asks a question Demon would usually ask.

            “Try, and I’ll make you run down the street looking like a clown,”

              “I already love you Lexis,” He smiles taking close steps “Can’t I just play with you for awhile?” Demon cleared his throat, pushed Nathan back and clears out a statement “Yo, my public girlfriend.” Well he always hated to be cheated, even if it is fake dating.

              “Sorry to interrupt your love fest,” Misty all the sudden came out with a couple of friends behind her. All of us stood in one huge group. Including the girls that looked little crazy but completely harmless and innocent. I’m most likely the only non-rich person here. There were about five guys counting Nathan and Demon.

             “Yes?” I calmly respond.

              “Haven’t you noticed that there is no road past this point or place to say?” She asks me, maybe because I looked the most smartest out of these people.

              “Noticed,” One of the girls popped out.

              “Where’s the party?” An average guy asked. With those classes and skin, I don’t think he should be going to any party. Plus, with his physical appearance. I could take him...

             “You think we got the wrong directions?” Mini Megan fox.

              “All of us?” Nathan questions.

             “Are you free?” Misty asks.

              “Sorry girl but I’m not, I’ve taken another,” Nathan apologized. Why couldn’t there be a guy like Nathan that was single and that I could hang around? He’s the perfect guy. He’s hot, he’s cool and he quit being a player and dedicated to one person no matter what offers he get. I want my own ex-player!

            “More importantly, we’re in the middle of the woods, possibly with a serial killer out to get us,” Another girl states out. And I thought I was the negative one. But yes, that could be possible but it wasn’t. I already knew what it was about.

           All heads turn when cameras appeared directly aiming at us. I just hoped that the conversations I had weren’t being filmed. I forced a girly fan scream down my throat as the host of the show came out of hiding. It was exciting to see the host of the TV show you’ve been watching for years.

           “Welcome the rich and wealthy,” He speaks with motions of his arms. All of them gave a puzzled look. Most of them probably didn’t recognize him. They should because he may be their worst nightmare. And the announcement was soon to come on.

            “To my reality survival TV show,” He continued on with a smile. All faces dropped pale, except for mine of course. It was really amusing to see their expressions. At least I was prepared for this. Done a little researching of how to survive too.

             “Are you kidding?” One boy spoke in shock.

             “I ain’t being on a survival show!” Mini Megan yelled out loudly.

             “Well, you are,” The host said with a little laugh “If you win, you’ll get to go home. If you lose, you’ll be known as a coward and as a rich brat for the rest of your life. How well do you take that?” Status for them was everything and so I doubt they’d want to drop. Demons and Nathan looked as if they’re anger was being tempted with and about to break loose.

             “Well they’d hate that, kind of rude though,” I mutter very quietly.

              “Billionaire’s girlfriend says what?” The hosts bursts in front of me. Now that got on my nerves. He better watch his runny mouth because I’ve got a borrowed Assassin in my hands. Who in the world would want to deal with that?

               “We all wonder is your love for the money or the actual guy?” He questions and I force a little murderous smile. Demon took my hand and acted like the sport he was. I bet he was going to say for the money.

               “It’ll be the guy and keep that camera off her or it won’t end up pretty for the cameras,” He deafeningly speaks with an ‘oh so sweet’ tone.Nathan created a sound as a hint for me. It was nothing, he shouldn’t be encouraging it. There was no way I’d ever want to go back to relationship again with anyone that involves Demon or Seth. I’m done with them, both. The end.

               “Damon we have nothing against you two. Many love you as a couple. Usually, we won’t have someone not rich here but Lexis might be what saves him through days in the tough wilderness. What’s your thoughts about it lexis?” He asks an opinion. I already felt the pressure.

                “In some ways it’s true, in others I’d probably kill us both,” I honestly spoke because of my terrible direction skills.

                “I thought we were supposed to go to a luxurious place?” Megan asks dully and he eyes with stubborn rage.

               “You thought wrong Lizzie, now don’t throw a tantrum but you wouldn’t be the first,” The host spoke. A firm hand pulled me back, toward the direction of his car. I dig my heels on the ground but it didn’t seem to work.

             “We’re out of here,” Demon decided.

              “Damon, the last guy who tried got their cars killed,” Misty informs. Demon turns with a hell and pushes me forward with a large smile on his face. That was out of the question.

             “When do we start?” He eagerly asks. The host smiles and faces the camera directly.

              “I’m Ryan Conner, your host for the survival of the rich and wealthy. This week we have the most richest son in the world, Damon hunter following by his girlfriend Lexis. Along with Nathan Reilly, currently known as Damon’s best friend. Perhaps there is a love triangle between them-“

              “-I have a girlfriend!” Nathan blurts out.

              “Stay in tune to find out. As for the rest we have, Raven and Nikki slaunter, Misty Sparks, Lizzie Waverly, Brian Cleave, Logan Reese, Ralph Gavin,” Ryan continues. Damon glanced around the rest but avoided any eye contact with Raven and Nikki. The two girls looked alike in a way, hair and eye color different but same height, body and suspicious look in them.

                “Avoid eye contact with the slaughters,” Demon whispered under his breath, only made for me to hear. The slaughters...?  The Slaunters, those two girls...? Well he thought I was psycho, so he must be wrong about those too.

               “Ryan,” The brunette one called as the cameras remained but lowered “I think you should cancel the show.”

               “Why, Raven...?” Ryan dryly questions her.

              “There’s a serial killer on the loose,” Raven was being utterly serious too. I already liked the girl. The rest all looked panicked and was set to leave this hell hole.

               “No, there isn’t,” Ryan assured with a little laugh. The girl may be right.

                “No, he she is right. Everyone should evacuate immediately before the two serial killers come out during the wilderness,” The blond twin strictly warns. Was it weird that I understood they were talking about themselves? No, it can’t be, they were probably joking. I nicely laugh at the their theories.

                 “They’re being serious,” Demon warned. Nathan patted demon over the shoulder and gave one glance at me “He had problems with them when he was younger.”

                 “It’s not cancelled and there is no serial killers,” Ryan dryly stated. Even the camera crew looked haunted.

                  “Okay, but-“ The blond started off.

                  “-don’t say we didn’t told you so. I guess that means we get see-” Raven continued.

                  “-bob and jimmy again,” They both speak in sync.

                  “They’re a little crazy,” Nathan explains to me. I shrug my shoulder and look at the girls. Hey, if Demon was afraid of them, then I should go make friends with them. The girls looked back and waved at me with a kind smiles.

                 “Those smiles,” Demon brings in horror “they’re plotting something. I just know it. Lexis, stay away from them. They could seriously injure you.” Ha-ha, Demon was afraid of two innocent looking girls. How sad is this? I took steps toward them and I already noticed Demon almost grabbed my leg to hold me back.

                 “Everyone shall go into the shack, for a day training in the wilderness,” Ryan speaks as Demon wins this match by not letting me go. At least I’m one thing he doesn’t let go. I bet all of these rich people will cry out in the middle of the forest and begging for a flast screen TV or expensive food. I was the only one here that wasn't rich, it came in handy since I probably had more skills in the wilderness than them.

My BFF: LikeNeverBefore birthday is coming up :), even if she doesn't care for it. Gotta love her for being born. Anyways, Raven and Nikki are based on us, our crazy side personality of course. Our characters will be our voices of what we want to do to the story, for example: Push another character in the water or put Damon and Lexis into a situation. If you have any suggestion of what Raven and Nikki should do during the chapters in the wilderness, just post a comment, saying what you want them to do to others and I’ll inform only you if I’m going to use it.
