Born for Royalty

Chapter Thirty

"So how do you use this?" I asked reaching for the gun trying to feign innocence. 

Felix and Harleam, who I was going to call dream because every time I heard his name all I thought was "Do the Harleam Shake," were in front of me trying to 'teach' me how to use a gun, and they were doing a terrible job.

I reached out for it and Felix pulled the gun back "It's heavy," he said.

I stopped the urge to roll my eyes, oh really?

I looked over to where Eden was helping Nik, they seemed to be having more fun, when can I start shooting? Apparently there was a legend and it was said Eden was one amazing shooter, a "pro," but let's see about that.  

"Just give it to me me," I said lunging for the gun sick of their games as Felix kept pulling it back thinking it was funny. It wasn't funny, in fact I might just shot his hand to show him it was't funny, but of course Alex would probably shoot me in the heart if I did that. 

I grabbed it easily holding the gun in my hand, seriously judging the type. To begin with it was a handgun, when really using a rifle would have been easier for these kids, and secondly it wasn't any handgun, it was a pistol, a fairly big one compared to my little beauty.

Rotating it in my hand I could tell you where it was made, and looking at the bullet I can tell you what shop they made it at.

"Okay so what you do is spread your legs,"

I looked up as Felix started talking again and stepped out widening my stance. Really un-necessary, but a beginners guide for support as shooting a gun, was a powerful thing.

Dream on the other hand decided to laugh making Felix turn a lovely red colour.

"I didn't mean it like that!"

"Mean what?" I asked confused at what they both were talking about. Felix grew even redder and shook his head muttering 'nothing' under his breathe.

"Okay so- yea raise your hands like that. Good. And place your hand under- okay well done you're catching on fast,"

I didn't even need my left hand acting as a support, but I decided I will humor them anyways, I was meant to be a good girl. 

"Okay so see that can in the distance,"

I nodded, an empty coke can sitting on the haystack in the distance, or I hoped it was empty or that was waste of a good soda. Especially since the sun was beating down and I felt a bit too warm in my jumper. 

"It's about fifty meters away, now I doubt you can shoot it," he scratched the back of his head, if only he knew.

Fifty meters was nothing for me. But if I shot it right in the middle, and I would not miss, it would give it all away, I was Nik's cousin or whatever, I was a daughter that was brought up with perfect etiquette, I scoffed at that, me with manners,  yea right.

"Now press the trigger, you will feel a lot of power, and you fight fall backwards so I'll just stand here beh-,"

I narrowed my eyes as Felix tried getting behind me, "I think I'll be fine," 

Dream laughed muttering 'rejected' under his breathe.

I stepped aside and shot a bullet quickly, making sure it hit the hay so there wasn't a stray bullet laying around, as much as my hand urged me to shoot it perfectly in the middle, maybe I can even shoot it at the top so the can wasn't damaged and then I could drink the soda inside.
