Chapter Thirteen

Hate

Chloe looked back at Nicholas, her eyes blazing, "You bastard!" she hissed "how dare you show your face in my presence!" "Chloe" said Nicholas "please…don't talk like that!"

"Why shouldn't I?" spat Chloe "you had me sent down the block!" Nicholas felt really uncomfortable; he looked down at his shins where Chloe had been kicking him. "You shouldn't have been fighting Chloe" he said "you know the rules of the prison"

"That wasn't my fault! Maxine and Frances have been giving me shit!" shouted Chloe "they started it!" "Calm down Chloe" said Nicholas holding up his hands in case Chloe lashed at him. "No!" shouted Chloe "those bastards were making my life hell!!!"

Nicholas stepped towards Chloe "Look Chloe" said Nicholas, still trying to keep calm, "I only did what I did, I'm just doing my job" "Putting me down the block! Because of something I didn't do!" shouted Chloe "following the orders of that old bint Sylvia!"

"Chloe!" said Nicholas "I was only doing my job, if Sylvia were here, she'd have you down here all Christmas" Chloe snarled, "You didn't stand up for me Nicholas" she snarled "why didn't you? I wasn't doing anything wrong! Maxine and Frances were bullying me and they deserved to get the beating I gave them"

Nicholas sighed "Chloe" "just get out" said Chloe "leave me alone" "Chloe" said Nicholas reaching out to touch her hand, "don't touch me!" snapped Chloe "don't fucking touch me! Just go!" Nicholas looked saddened "Chloe" he said again "please don't be like this"

"I said…" snarled Chloe "GET OUT!" she screamed loudly, Nicholas felt his heart jump went he heard Chloe shout that, biting his lip and holding back his tears, he turned away from her and walked out the door, Chloe curled up on the bench and began to cry again as she heard the lock being turned.

Nicholas sighed as he looked at the door then turned away, as he walked back to the office next to the black cells thoughts began to fill his mind, when Chloe first arrived in prison and how he offered her comfort after he had seen her crying in her cell:

Flashback

Nicholas paced the block silently, making sure the inmates were locked up, as he paced he could hear some inmates still talking quietly in their cells, but he could also hear inmates yelling abuse further down the block.

As he paced he heard crying coming from one of the cells, he stopped by one of them and looked in, he could see Chloe sitting on her small single bed crying and sniffling. Nicholas's eyes widened, he couldn't believe she was crying like she was heartbroken and scared, when he saw her earlier entering the prison after being sentenced to life, she had told all the other prisoners proudly that she had stabbed her cheating boyfriend and her mother to death and butcher them, thus earning the name 'Butcher Girl' and saying she was never sorry.

Nicholas took his keys and unlocked her cell door, "Chloe?" he called softly "Chloe" the sobbing white poodle looked up to see him, "hey..." she said between sobs, "you ok?" asked Nicholas sitting next to her on her bed, Chloe shook her head. Nicholas tried to look at her though she had her head down and tears were dripping rapidly from her eyes and off her nose.

"Why are you crying?" he asked, "they betrayed me" Chloe whispered "they both did…I thought I trusted them…How could they!?!" Nicholas then realised she was talking about her slutty mother and her cheating boyfriend. "I found them…fucking each other…I did what I did! I'm not sorry for slaughtering them! I hate them! They betrayed me!"

Chloe was starting to get more and more hysterical, Nicholas then wrapped his arms around her, "Shhh Shhh" he whispered "it's ok…it's ok, I understand" Chloe looked up at him, still blinded by her tears. "You do?" she whispered, Nicholas nodded, "first time I've heard a screw say that" sad Chloe softly, she rested her head on Nicholas's chest still crying softly. Nicholas then began to stroke her head and hold her close as her sobbing softened.

End Flashback

Nicholas sighed again as he sat down and took a drink from a cup of coffee he had left on the table, "Oh Chloe" he thought, "I hope you calm down soon….I've never seen you lash out like that before, you were always good in prison, hardly got into trouble"

He then thought of Maxine and Frances, "If I know those two" he thought "they were always causing trouble, especially when Buxton was around" he took another sip of his coffee. "If I know them, they cause a lot of trouble and Chloe wouldn't attack them for no reason" he narrowed his eyes, "after Chloe's been let out the block, I'm gonna keep an eye on those two bullies"

So Nicholas has decided to keep a closer eye on the bullies, but will he see them misbehave and give them what they deserve? And how are the other murderesses feeling now their friend's down the block? Wait and see!
