Episode 3

“N…nick?” Gwen questioned herself in shock, she had just seen the man she saved few days ago - shooting someone in the head. Gwen started to feel guilty about her decision, about saving him. She shook her head and decided to leave like this had never happened, not like she’ll meet this man ever again.

The man noticed a presence, he reloaded the gun, pointing at the place he heard the sound from. “Who’s there? Come out now!” Gwen’s eyes widened as she remembered his words; “if we meet again, I won’t guarantee your safety.” Her hand started trembling more and more. “I said come out!” Nick was losing his patience - though he had a dark past, he wasn’t the type to shoot someone without an order. He started walking slowly step by step. “Show yourself!” Gwen thought that there was no other way out of this. She raised her hands and walked forward. “Oh.. it was you?” said the man with an unpleased face. He place the gun aside. “Get out of my sight! Didn’t I tell you the next time I see you I might actually kill you?” he said with an aggressive face while pointing at her. Gwen was anxious, but for some reasons, despite what she had just seen, she had this feeling that Nick won’t hurt her.

Gwens day was full of events, thus, she was tired and decided to head home. She put her hood on, said goodbye to nick - whom she’ll probably never see again - and headed back home.

“Jacob!… Jacob!” Called a young man. “ugh! What is it..?” “Nick… he’s alive!” “What??… but they said he was dead…. those bunch of a-holes, they lied to us?” The man face turned red from anger. As he was in disbelieve that Nick was still alive.

Footsteps across the hall, everyone looked in its direction to see who it was, as they were getting their guns loaded. “Guys.. guys it’s me put the guns away” said Nick. Jacobs face turned even more red. He took a deep breath and maintained a calm face. “Yo Nick.. how did you come out alive? We were all sure you were dead” said Jacob in a doubtful way, trying to know more from Nick. Nick responded calmly; “you know… the usual, with just some extra luck on my side” said Nick while smirking.

He headed to his room and as soon as he got there, he layed in bed thinking about his day. “Gwen wasn’t it.. Gwen, what a nice name.” Without noticing, Nick was already fast asleep.

Gwen’s place\~

“What should I do, he’s so charming, but.. how could he kill someone so easily without a second thought. No it isn’t right, he’s not a person I should get too involved with. It’s better if we don’t meet again.” Gwen was also in deep thinking about her day and Nick. They both layed in bed, in different places, but their mind and hearts were in the same place.
