When Two Worlds Collide
Chapter 1: Half A Soul
Description: Everybody always thinks Zane is so perfect. What if he wasn't? Well there are two sides to every story. And every Crime.
It was winter break. The day was Thursday and Riley was sitting at Zane's house when Zane came downstairs.
"Can you believe it, we're gonna be graduating in a few months!" Zane said hugging Riley. Riley smiled and sat back down on the couch. After all Riley did live with Zane now, since his parents were very disapproving of his sexuality. So he decided to live with his boyfriend instead. The Parks were very accepting. And Zane was thrilled.
"I know right. Did you hear about that killer who abducts people and kills them?" Riley asked. Zane shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah, I did. It's a shame too. Some of those people were people my dance teacher used to teach dance to. Those poor people probably had great futures ahead of them." Zane said shaking his head. He went over to the printer and pulled out a paper and showed it to Riley.
"Cool, is this the rest of that story?" Riley asked. Zane smiled.
"I honestly don't know. All I know is that I feel like, I don't know, half a person. This feeling just feels really weird, you know?" Zane said sitting down beside Riley. He then took out a drawing of someone that looked exactly like him.
"Wow that's a pretty good drawing of you." Riley said. "I think you'd look good with green eyes." Riley said nudging Zane.
"Really? I don't know about that." Zane said.
"Don't doubt yourself so much. I used to do that until you came along." Riley said and kissed Zane. While Zane was getting into the kiss, he looked at his clock and realized he was late for his dance classes.
"Oh no, Mr. Dell is gonna be pissed at me for being late." Zane said getting up.
"Alright have fun maybe we'll talk about that story later. It looked really good. Is that guy supposed to be you?" Riley asked.
"I don't know. But it feels like I know him. See ya later Riles." Zane said and was out the door. Mr. Park heard that last bit of the conversation. He had a look of guilt and suspicion on his face.
When Zane arrived to his dance class, he went right inside. He saw some of his friends there. He went over to them and began a conversation.
"Dude you were almost late. You know how Mr. Dell is about tardiness." Doug said. Zane smiled his 1000 watt smile.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it. But I made it didn't I?" Zane asked. He then heard the sound of a throat being cleared.
"Yes you sure did, Mr. Park. You're very lucky." Mr. Dell said. Zane lowered his eyes to the ground.
"Alright class, I am sorry to say that another of my students was murdered on Monday." He said. The class became silent and them some of them murmured amongst themselves. Zane couldn't believe it. He had that just seen that girl last weekend. The class went on as usual, but Zane was preoccupied on something else. Mr. Dell caught on to this and after class he pulled him aside and spoke with him.
"Zane you're usually so graceful, what happened out there today?" he asked. Zane didn't know what to say.
"It's just; these murders have me really freaked out." Zane replied.
"Yeah, I know the feeling. Lindsay was one of my best students. I'll miss her terribly. So are you still on for the dance competition in 3 weeks?" Mr. Dell asked. Zane sadly shook his head.
"I don't think I want to dance anymore." Mr. Dell was shocked at this new development.
"But Zane, you're one of my best dancers! You can't just quit when the Young Dancer's Competition is only weeks away." Mr. Dell exclaimed. Zane slowly headed towards the exit.
"I understand that, but I want to be a writer or screenwriter. I still love to dance, but I just don't want to do the competition. I'm sorry, Mr. Dell." Zane said and left. He could still hear Mr. Dell calling his name.
When he got home, he threw his bag down and went to his room. Riley was at his laptop watching clips of sports games. When Zane entered the room, he saw how distraught Zane looked.
"Is something wrong, babe?" Riley asked getting up and sitting down next to Zane on the bed.
"Well, I quit dance class today." Zane said sitting up. Riley raised his eyebrow.
"Wow, but I thought you loved to dance. What happened to that?" Riley asked. Zane got up and walked over to his closet.
"I do and I always will. But the killings are starting to freak me out. Besides I like writing too. Rayne Woods is a very interesting person. I can't stop writing about him." Zane said.
"Yeah, and from what I've read, he seems likes he's so… different from you." Riley said. Zane shook his head.
"Alright, you want to go to the movies?" Zane asked. Riley smiled and thought of a thought.
"Sure, but what about those murders?" he asked. Zane shrugged his shoulders.
"What could go wrong? And besides, you're my back row movie partner. You'll protect me right?" Zane said with a seductive smile. Riley quickly grabbed his coat.
"Alright let's go." It wasn't cold outside, but it was dark. Riley and Zane met up with Fiona, Anya, Drew, and Bianca. (Riley and Drew had settled their differences by the way.)
"Hey guys." Fiona said as she hugged Zane and Riley.
"What's up?" Riley said.
"Nothing much, we were gonna go see that scary movie, uh what is it…" Drew said looking at the movie board. "Oh, it's that Priest movie, in 3-D." Bianca looked plain bored.
"It looks okay, but I'll see when we get inside." She said. Anya smiled at her and then they all went inside. The movie was awesome. There was a lot of action in it. Riley and Zane came out of the theater fixing their clothes. Anya and Fiona laughed at the.
"Wow, did you guys even pay attention to the movie?" Anya asked. Riley and Zane blushed.
"Of course we did. We saw that part when, um, you know…?" Riley said. Zane looked confused but played along.
"Yeah, I do, it was so cool." Fiona wasn't convinced though.
"Enlighten us then." She said. Zane and Riley were at a loss for words,
"Alright, fine. We made out through most of the movie." Riley said finally admitting it. Fiona and Anya giggled some more. Drew and Bianca had guilty looks too.
"Well, you're not the only ones, guys." Bianca said and blushed a little. The whole gang laughed then. Zane saw some of his dance buddies not too far from the theater.
"Hey Riles, I'm gonna go talk to some of my dance buddies. I kinda owe the truth to them about my quitting the dance class." He started to head over to them, when the crowd started to get hectic.
"What about being freaked out by those murders? You shouldn't really go out there alone!" Riley called after him. Zane smiled and shouted back, "Either I'll meet you back here at 11:45 or at home!" and then he was gone. Riley smiled at his boyfriend as he and the gang started up another random conversation.
It was about 11:43 when Riley showed back up to the theater. It did get a little chilly since then, but he didn't care. As it started to get late, Riley could still see no sign of Zane. So he decided to go back to Zane's house and wait for him there. But when he rounded the corner of the theater, he ran into Doug.
"Hey Doug, have you seen Zane?" Riley asked. Doug shook his head 'no'.
"Hmm that's funny, because the last time I saw him, he was rushing through the crowd to come see you guys." Riley said.
"Well he never showed up. I haven't seen him since dance class today." Doug replied. Some more of Zane's dance crew showed up.
"Please tell me you've seen Zane?" Riley asked frantically. The girls shook their heads 'no' too.
Where on Earth could he be? Riley thought to himself.
In some strange warehouse, Zane was strapped to a table. He was in pain, due to the blow to the head he had just received.
Where am I? He thought to himself. He then heard a noise and suddenly became nervous.
"Whose out there?" Zane shouted while trying to loosen his restraints. Suddenly a dark figure hovered over him. "Who are you?" Zane asked. Then all of a sudden, a needle was stuck in Zane's arm.
"Don't worry about that now. But you're in for a lot of surprises." The figure said as Zane fell unconscious.
