Chapter 26

(SONNA'S POV)

School had finally ended and Zeyco and i were about to head home. We got outside the school and before we left he looked to me and said "Wait right here Sonna." He then took off in a hurry leaving me there. I sat on some stairs and took out my sketch book. I began to draw a man. The man had smooth hair that dropped in his face. He had a scowl on his soft face. His eyes held little interest in them. He was wearing a tank top and had a revolver in his hand.

I stared at the drawing and sighed. It was Chase and seeing him brought a pang of guilt in my chest. I felt terrible for tossing him to the side like that. He was more to me than a coping mechanism for my lack of intimacy. I should've told Chase about Zeyco, but I kinda just forgot to mention it.

"Damn it all…" I said as I ripped the paper. Chase hated me and here I am drawing a picture of him. To make things worse, R seemed to be mad at me as well. I sighed. "What the hell Zeyco…" I wish I knew where he was.

I looked up at the setting sun before I started another drawing. This time it was of Zeyco and his Protosatorian. While I was drawing, I noticed that Zeyco came back. "Hey Sonna, I'm back!" He said. I jumped at the sound of his voice. I quickly tried to hide the drawing of him. He looked at me questioningly and I began to get nervous. "Can I please see the drawing?" He asked with a childish facial expression.

"No…" I said.

He pressed his face to mine and said "Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssseee…" He then started to poke me and I struggled to keep my composure. I laughed like a small child due to his constant poking. I wanted to fight back but decided that it was a lost cause and gave in. I handed him the book and he stared wide eyed at it.

"That's supposed to be you with Protosatorian. You're also holding the dual magnums I told you to get." I explained to him.

"This is amazing. Sonna you got a talent for this type of stuff. I wish I could draw." My heart fluttered at his compliment. I loved drawing and he would always praise my art.

We began to walk ourselves home. We were almost there when Zeyco stopped and said "Sonna I want you to know...you have this square thing poking out of your pocket." On instinct, I grabbed my Arsenal and swiftly tossed it to my bag. "What was that?" He asked.

"Don't worry about it." I giggled oddly. We walked for about two hours. Once I was finally at my house, I turned to him as he said "See ya Sonna."

I waved lightly and said "Bye Zey." I got to my house closed my door then let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I looked to my Arsenal and realized I was needed for a mission.

"Oh boy…"
