Alternative Universe:, Nick Venom [me reader TXT] 📗

couldn’t make it farther than a few feet from the couch she was positioned on.

Amanda rushed to unbind Kiya while Braiden and Nathan brought the supplies in. Nikki entered last, locking the door behind them. She watched as Braiden and Nathan went up to Kiya, asking who tied her up. 

“Rope? Binding to the couch?” Nikki muttered before dashing to the kitchen counter. As she feared, there was a note on the counter addressed to her. 

“Nikki, I miss you.” She glared at the letter before stuffing it into her pockets. She already knew who bound Kiya and broke into the house. It was her ex-boyfriend, an abusive bastard that toyed and played with her. She hated his guts and tried to forget him, but he reappeared. He was back.

Episode Seven "Percy Katell"

The doors and windows were properly barricaded while Kiya recovered. She had gone through a lot while the others were gone; tied up and dehydrated.

To prevent another break-in, they established night guards, placing a pair on watch for a few hours. Nobody was allowed to guard on their own, especially Braiden. Nobody wanted him to be the only one up while the rest were sleeping.

Nikki was given the time between 3 AM and 6 AM along with Nathan. She woke up a few minutes before her set time, wandering around the dark and empty halls. She changed into a black leather jacket and ripped jeans, putting on sneakers to match her new look.

She entered the living room and noticed Nathan walking around. He held a lit candle, using it as his only light source. There were no flashlights in the house, seemingly missing from their normal place. “Hey, Nate.”

Nathan nearly jumped out of his skin, turning to face her. “Nikki, don’t scare me like that. If I wasn’t careful, this house would’ve gone up in flames.” He whispered. Everybody except for them was sleeping quietly in the three bedrooms. Amanda slept in her bed with Kiya while Braiden rested in Andy’s room. Amanda’s parents’ bedroom remained empty.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you.” Her lips curled upward. “But that reaction was funny.” She intimidated his jump of fear. “Maybe, I should do this more often.”

“My heart wouldn’t be able to stand it,” Nathan remarked, raising the candle higher into the air to bring more light into the room. “Are you ready?”

Nikki’s smile vanished. She shook her head.

“What’s wrong?” Nathan approached her, his eyes softening and his eyebrows pointing downward. “Is it him?”

She nodded, handing him the note. He skimmed through the note before crushing it in his palms. “I’ll deal with him.”

“No, you’ll anger him more. I’ll go and meet him. I’ll be armed, so don’t worry about me.”

“No!” Nathan shouted, nearly waking their sleeping friends and Braiden. “Let me go with you.”

“You’ll anger him. He only wants me to go. Even if he wouldn’t be angry, we need someone to protect the others.” She told him. 

“But…” He whined. “What about your safety?”

She bopped his nose. “I’m armed and I know a bit of karate, so stop worrying. You remind me of the younger you, a crybaby.”

Nathan smiled. “I’m always a crybaby for you.”

“And you always will be one.” She left through the backdoor, leaving Nathan to look over the others. He locked the door after Nikki left, watching as she sprinted away. He dropped his head, shaking it.

“I’ve always been a crybaby, especially after you rejected me for him.”

***

Nikki brandished her pistol as she neared her ex’s house. She peered into a boarded weapon for the bastard. He was inside somewhere. “Give me a shot and there’ll be a bullet in your head.” She muttered as she walked closer to the door. 

The door swung open and a man walked outside. The man was her ex, Percy Katell. He wore a black blazer with a black tee under it. His jeans were ripped and worn out. Their blue color had faded to whitish-blue. The white overpowered the faint reminders of its original color. 

The man’s dark blue hair flowed down his back, stopping at his waist. He took good care of his hair, brushing it until it retained its straightness.

The man stared deeply into Nikki’s eyes, hypnotizing her with his green reptilian eyes. He stuck out his tongue as he neared her, his tongue brushing her ear. “You’re back, Pretty Doll.”

Nikki’s body shuddered as the stench of his alcohol breath wafted into her nose. She took a step back, pointing the gun at him. She was in point-blank range. She wouldn’t miss him.

Even so, her finger never pressed the trigger. It lingered on the trigger but never moved.

“Oh, you’re really fierce. This apocalypse, however, has shown your true colors. You’re nothing more than my Pretty Doll.” His voice deepened on the last word. “Show me more disobedience and I’ll treat you with the same.” He pointed towards the inside of the house. “A few of my boys-”

Nikki’s body began trembling. She was sickened, but couldn’t do anything. Her body froze up on her. She was stuck in place, watching as the man---who brought her much pain---tormented and laughed at her. She was nothing but a toy for him.

“-are here. Continue holding the gun and you’ll meet with them.”

Nikki’s body reacted, quickly lowering her weapon. Percy chuckled before going into a laughing fit. “Oh, Pretty Doll, your obedient nature is returning. Good.”

“L-L-L-Leave us alone!” She spat.

Percy looked at her strangely. His lips straightened as his muscles tensed up. He balled up his fingers and struck the wall next to him. The punch dented the brick wall. “Demand something again and you’ll see where this punch will go.”

Nikki nodded, bowing her head. “I-I’m sorry.”

“He spat on her head. “Good, my Pretty Doll. You’re remembering. Now!” He exclaimed, attracting the attention of a few zombies. “Bring me two women and I’ll leave you alone. I like that dark-skinned girl and your best friend. Oh, and if I were you, I wouldn’t make myself wait. I broke in once, I don’t mind doing it twice.” He threatened, smugly smiling. He exposed his teeth, which had a few gaps here and there. His hygiene wasn’t important for him.

“Yes,” She obediently responded, raising her head and turning around. However, Percy grabbed her arm and turned her around, stealing a kiss. A dirty and ugly kiss. A kiss that stained her. A kiss that certified her loss of freedom. A kiss that nearly broke her.

“I’ll give you another one if I don’t have my two women soon.”

She nodded before turning around and sprinting off. Percy watched with joy as she sobbed while running. It brought him the utmost enjoyment.

“I love the apocalypse. It brings the best side of myself.” He remarked before brandishing a shotgun from inside his home. He let out rounds at the nearest zombies, blasting their heads off. “Oh, the fun I’m having. Soon, it’ll be three women to play around with. Pretty Doll, don’t betray me here.”

Author’s Note: Percy is depicted as pure scum. His actions weren’t used as a joke. Abuse---sexual, mental, or physical---is not to be taken lightly. My intention with Percy’s character was never to make light of the situation. He is pure scum that will die a bloody death. However, until then, he will continue to reappear and be a thorn in their side.

Episode Eight "Forrest Ranch"

Nikki returned within an hour, banging on the backdoor. Nathan peered out of a small window and recognized her, opening the door. She walked in, her body still trembling as Nathan closed the door behind her.

“Are you okay, you’re shaking…?”

She shook her head. She collapsed, her legs giving up on her. “We need to leave.” She whispered.

“Can you repeat that?” He asked, crouching down to meet her line of sight. “We need to do what?”

She stared at him, her eyes glazed over with tears. Her body shook more and more as Percy ran through her mind. He would soon go for them, and even if they fought against him, he would still win. Nobody in their group had any proper training - even Amanda’s training focused on hunting animals, not humans.

Percy was skilled at it. He was seven years older than them, returning from the army when he met with Nikki. She thought she was in love, even though he was creepily older than him. A 24 in love with a 17-year-old. A clear case of him being a pedophile. However, Percy racked up blackmail to use against Nikki if she ever told the police. This allowed this sick man to walk the earth with no consequences.

“We… WE NEED TO LEAVE!” She screeched. Nathan nodded as she became a sobbing mess. He went to the rooms and gathered everybody. Amanda heard Nikki’s sobs, rushing to her side. The slightly wounded Kiya watched the best friends embracing each other.

“Who’s crying like a banshee?” Braiden asked, emerging from Andy’s room. “Tell the person to quit it.”

Nathan glared at the teacher. “Shut it. Pack your stuff, we’re leaving.”

“Leaving?” Braiden questioned “Why are we leaving? We got weapons, a roof over our heads, food, and water. We don’t need anything else.”

Nathan approached the man, grabbing his collar and pulling him downward. He looked Braiden in the eyes. “We’re being targeted. If they get in, they’ll ransack our supplies and kidnap the woman to do unspeakable acts. So pack your stuff or else we’ll leave you. You’ll enjoy two days of peace before they barge in and see that we’re long gone. Guess what?” He imitated somebody being decapitated. “They’ll kill you and use your body as zombie bait.”

Braiden gulped loudly before grabbing Nathan’s hand and ripping it off his collar. “Refrain from touching an adult’s collar, you’ll wear it out. As for our current
