Russian Roulette

The campfire crackled ominously, filling the silence the four of us had. The feeling of malicious mischievousness had settled deep within my chest as I glanced towards Sarah then at Alexa and Aidan. I watched as Sarah pulled out a pack of cigarettes, how she took it from her parents without them noticing, I'll never know but I took the opportunity to take one and enjoy it. I've never been one to enjoy the smell of cigarettes but if it was going to calm my adrenaline then I'll take it. I never expected Aidan and Alexa to last long, looks like they won't last much longer. I pulled out a hunting gun, one that I had stolen not long ago. "How about we play some Russian Roulette?" I questioned, glancing towards Sarah before making eye contact with Aidan.

I could feel my rage flare up as I made eye contact with him but I couldn't help feeling satisfied when he and the other two agreed.

    I motioned Sarah to trade seats with me so I could sit beside Aidan, waving the gun in front of me in a playful yet malicious manner. "I'll go first then Aidan will go and we'll follow the order like that." The three nodded, probably knowing that I wasn't going to leave anything up for debate. I pressed the pistol to my temple, starting to feel my adrenaline flare up. The cigarette hadn't done anything to prevent this but at this point I don't care. I pulled the trigger, an empty click echoing in the clearing. I smirked towards Aidan, handing him the gun. I watched, lit cigarette pressed against my lips, as he pressed the gun to his own head and pulled the trigger. I watched through observant and judgmental slanted eyes as he hesitantly gave the gun towards Alexa. I almost laughed as I watched her almost back away but she did it, although it seemed like she was about to shit her pants because of it.

    She had mentioned that she wanted to kill herself but her behavior said the opposite. She gave it to Sarah. Sarah's eyes flashed with an unknown energy, I wanted to stop her from doing it but I decided not to, hoping with my whole soul that it wouldn't be her. I relaxed as the gun clicked empty. "НАХУЙ!" She yelled, her voice full of adrenaline. I smiled at this but my smile turned into a smirk once more as I took the gun from her and made eye contact with Aidan. "You know, Aidan," I paused, pressing the gun against my head again, "I thought we were friends." I pulled the trigger, no flinch coming from my body as it clicked empty. I then pressed it against my cheek, a low chuckle emitting from my chest, "I guess I was being fake, huh?" I pulled the trigger again. "Or~" I purred as I pressed the gun under my chin, "you were the one being fake?" I pulled the trigger once more, no bullet. I gave the gun to Aidan, his eyes flashed with hesitance but he took it. He glanced towards Alexa which triggered me to look towards Sarah to see a look of relief on her face.

    I noticed that she was shaking, which wasn't unusual but my attention changed to Aidan again when I noticed that he hadn't pulled the trigger. "What is it Aidan? Are you being a pussy?" I sneered, laughing as he glared at me. My comment made him press the pistol to his head and pull the trigger. Apparently he wasn't done, pressing the gun to his cheek like I had done. "I'll take the bullet for you, Alexa," he whispered, probably trying to be sensual and impressive. I glanced to Sarah, doing my best to contain my laughter, apparently she was doing her best not to laugh as well, judging by the expression on her face. The gun clicked, no bullet again. He was copying me, pressing the gun to his chin and pulling the trigger, at this point I knew that the next pull of the trigger would mean a bullet but apparently he was too focused on being impressive. I couldn't help but laugh evilly as he pressed the gun to his temple again and pulled the trigger. This time though, the clearing echoed with the very loud sound of a bang.

    Then a horrified scream followed by my amused laughter. My eyes didn't have to see to know what happened, the adrenaline blurring my vision. But when it came back, I saw Aidan on the ground, blood on the grass around his head. Alexa was kneeling beside him, crying, devastated. I couldn't be the only one laughing at his stupidity, could I? I looked towards Sarah, a somber look on her face. My heart jumped when I looked back over to the blood once more, no regret, no worry. The police would find him and realize that he had killed himself. After a long year of him being a pussy and not killing himself, he did it. Another laugh came from me, this time, it shook my whole body and came hoarse. It sounded insane, I sound insane. Which makes sense, my sanity is nonexistent. I grabbed the gun from where it had fallen from his hand. I pulled out the rest of the amo and put it in the barrel, my brows furrowed, almost pressing together. I pulled the trigger several more times, aiming towards Aidan. It would be a bad idea but Alexa wouldn't talk and if she did I would hunt her.

    I laughed as his corpse spasmed as I shot it again and again, my head spinning. I felt dizzy, high on my adrenaline and rage. "See you in hell~" I said, my voice sing song-ish. I laughed once more and looked towards Alexa. I crouched beside her. "Be careful with what you say," I growled before standing back up and walking towards Sarah. "Come on, might as well leave and let his corpse rot here." She nodded and we both walked off, back towards civilization.
