Diamond in the Rough
A/N Once again guys, sorry for the length. Here's the long awaited chapter 8! Also I've started working on chapter 9 and I'm gonna try to make it extra long in reward for your patience. I hope to have it posted soon, but myself and my editor both have finals coming up :/ But I promise there will be many more chapters to come and more frequent updates once the semester ends! Thanks for all the feedback! I love hearing from you guys! So without further ado….
Chapter 8: Victor's Victims
How'd it go, Slick? Saw you in the audience, nice acting ;) Nick smiled at Judy's message and typed a response.
It went great! And you made the acting much easier for me, Angel ;) lol
Nick watched the text send, then put his phone down and groaned. Flopping his head down on a pillow, Nick dragged his paws down his face. It did not go great. Well, Nick had at least got into Victor's group, but "great" was far from how he would describe it. Victor was scary. Badgers are known for their long claws, but Victor's claws are exceptionally long, and sharpened to a point. As Nick was talking with Victor, he couldn't help but think of the pictures. The long slashes, the scratch marks around the eyes, the ragged holes on the lips through which a string was thread sewing them together. All signs that indicated Victor carried out the murders with his own claws. Victor's voice was gravelly and he had a thick Russian accent. His snaggletooth smile sends shivers down the spine. When Victor laughs, goosebumps raise and blood curdles. Victor told him to come back the next day for more information. Nick found himself wishing he was still in school and could fake being sick so he wouldn't have to face the bullies. His phone buzzed.
You sly fox. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were flirting with me! Nick was grateful for the distraction.
Dumb bunny, who said I wasn't flirting? We are high school sweethearts after all ;)
Ok, then since you paid attention so well, how'd I do?
How'd she do? She was amazing! Nick wanted her. Not just her body though either. Nick was madly in love with Judy. But how could he tell her that? He's a fox, she's a bunny, it would never happen. Still, he wished she was there next to him.
I think you had myself and the audience as wrapped around your finger as you were on the pole. Nick stared at his phone, watching the corner where he could see Judy responding. He chewed his lip, both wanting and not wanting to see a response. Did he cross a line? Is she going to be upset? Or is she going to brush it off? Or is she going to flirt right back? C'mon Carrots, say something. Nick's thoughts pleaded.
A/N Oh my gosh, it's so short… Sorry again, It'll get better I promise
