Chapter Seven: Blackmail, Such a Cruel Thing to Do
Ecstasy was all Piper felt as she kissed Zigzag. It was perfect.....everything was perfect. They were alone in her aunt's cabin, since she left to look over some things. But then again nothing is ever perfect. X-Ray watched from just outside the window the entire scene from almost beginning to the end.
"Oh shit!" he muttered to himself as he continued to watch them. They were really getting at it. But thankfully to him Piper pulled away, said something to Zigzag and he left her looking a little depressed. As he reached the door he turned and said something to her which made her eyes get that glassy look someone usually gets when someone is about to cry. She put a hand to her mouth and slowly sank down onto the bed staring blankly at the floor. A cruel smile formed on X-Ray's lips as he moved to the cabin door a few minutes after Zigzag had.
"So, it's you and Zig huh?" he said as he opened her room door. She looked up and gave him a death glare her eyes growing an extreme ice cold that made him want to turn and run but he stood his ground. She didn't say anything but diverted her eyes away from him after a moment.
"And...your point is what exactly?" she asked coldly, she knew she had power over all the guys here.
"That's pretty big dirt on you to know that you have a soft side. And because I know about you and Caveman." He answered feeling the power shift from her to him. Her head shot up with a questioning look.
"How?"
"I told him to try and get you to go out with him because he told me how he thought you were the most beautiful creature to ever walk the earth." X answered feeling very cocky.
"So, you knew this whole time that I was with him?"
"Yes."
"And you're going to blackmail about it now?"
"Precisely."
"Great just what I need.....what do you want from me?"
"I want you to announce tomorrow in the wreck room when most of the guys are there that we are going out. And you have to show public displays of affection too." Piper's head shot up and looked at him with a warning look.
"And if I don't?"
"Well, then I'll tell Caveman about you're little affair with Zig. It's your choice Venom, but I'd go with choice A it's a lot easier on Caveman that way then to have to find out from me about what you're doing with Zig. Oh and one more thing....."
"What?" she said misery in her voice.
"You have to stop whatever you're doing with Zig; you are not allowed to go near him. No girl of mine is going to be caught cheating on me."
"Oh, so now I'm your property?!?!"
"Only if you want to. But I'll tell you this if you do decide to become my property I can make it very enjoyable for you."
"GET OUT!!" She screamed standing and moving towards him death glares piercing through him. If looks could kill he would be a pile of ashes on the floor from the intensity of her glares.
"See you tomorrow hun." He said before leaving. She sat back down on the bed and screamed into her pillow.
She sat on her bed staring out the window. She couldn't believe that X-Ray was blackmailing her and she was going to go through with it! She stood when she looked at the time assuming that they'd all be in the wreck room around now. She stood slowly her legs shaky, knees buckling underneath her. She gathered her strength and actually made it all the way to the wreck room without stumbling. She entered and there was a buzz throughout the room. She walked over to the D-Ten boys who were talking like maniacs about something important. She took a seat a good distance away from X-Ray but he didn't even notice her. There was a new guy there who seemed to have noticed her presence and was staring at her. She stared back her cold eyes making him shiver and nudge Zigzag, who turned to look at him. The new guy nodded in her direction and Zig rolled his eyes.
"She's here because there are no alls girl's camps like Camp Green Lake that would take her." He explained his eye locking with hers.
"Where's Caveman?" She asked curiously looking around still not spotting him anywhere. X-ray finally noticed her and moved closer.
"He's not here. Ran off today taking Mr. Sir's truck out with him before it crashed into a hole. Ran after Zero." He whispered in her ear his lips brushing against her ear his arm falling over her shoulders.
"Then you have nothing to black mail me about." She concluded pushing him away.
"That doesn't mean I can't still have you." He said moving closer to her as she moved away.
"No, that means I don't have to do a damn thing." She said coldly with a sarcastic smile standing and moving to sit across from him next to the new kid.
"So, who's he?"
"We call him twitch. He's Zero's replacement."
"And what happened to Zero?"
"He ran into the desert after whacking Mom with a shovel." Piper frowned at this and her eyes met with Zigzag's. She sighed and stood walking to the door glancing back once before leaving.
"What's with her?" Squid asked after viewing the whole scene.
"I'll go find out." X said starting to stand.
"Sorry X but I don't think she likes you I'll go." Zig said stopping X-ray from leaving. He went to the door and left his eyes scanning the camp looking for her. He couldn't find her anywhere, she wasn't in the tent, the cabin, or the mess hall. He walked towards the 'lake' and found her there she was starting to walk out over the vast desert of a lake. He ran out after her catching up quickly grabbing onto her arm to stop her.
"Where are you going?" He asked turning her around so that she faced him.
"I'm going to find him."
"You're not serious."
"I am he could die out there!"
"So can you!"
"I'm more experienced!"
"You can't just go out there without any water and expect to find him so easily! Do you even know how big this 'lake' is?" Piper fell silent, he was right she was an idiot to go after him. She was torn between wanting to be with Zigzag and wanting to be with Caveman. She was already unfaithful to him as it is. There's no point in trying to make things right by going after him. She sighed and looked up at him her hard eyes becoming harder. She was a stubborn girl who never gave up easily. She hated to admit that she was wrong. But this time she finally met defeat and didn't have anything to say to make the matter at hand change. So, this is what defeat feels like huh?
