Zoc made it to his chambers, grabbed a leaf to wipe the soot from his body as he looked for medicine to tend to the burns he sustained from the exploding firecracker. Spindle sat on a nearby table and watched his master. A few minutes later Hova, Lucas, Kreela, and Fugax entered the chamber. Zoc scowled a little as he saw Hova carry Lucas on her back and both Kreela and Fugax were praising him for scarring the wasps away.
"What is wrong with you?" Demanded Zoc facing his fellow ants.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Hova as Lucas got off her back.
"I mean why are you praising and cheering for him?" Asked Zoc pointing at Lucas.
"Well he scared off the wasps and got them to leave. Something you've tried doing for months, but never really succeeded in doing." Said Fugax.
"He saved us and the caterpillars." Said Hova as she went over and began to look through Zoc's shelves.
"He didn't save any of us or the colony! That Destroyer was only saving himself and by chance he scarred the wasps off! His still our enemy and his just trying to trick the colony into liking him, so he can return to his original size and form and then he can destroy us all! That's what his kind does!" Yelled Zoc.
"Sounds like your paranoid and jealous." Said Kreela.
"I'm not jealous or paranoid! Your just being swayed by his actions." Said Zoc.
"You sound like your being swayed by your hate." Said Hova with a glare.
"He abandoned you during the attack." Said Zoc.
"Because I told him to run and hide. You expect me to tell a child to attack a wasp? That's completely irresponsible." Said Hova.
Zoc flinched a little at that. He really walked right into that one. Hova looked over in Zoc's direction and a look of concern crossed her face as she grabbed a bottle of lotion.
"Your hurt." Said Hova.
"Oh I'm fine. It's not that bad." Said Zoc thinking Hova was going to tend to his injuries.
Hova walked right past Zoc and over to Lucas, who had a burn on his left arm.
"Oh Lucas has a burn! Poor baby!" Said Hova as she began to rub lotion on the burn.
"Thanks." Said Lucas.
Zoc just scowled feeling a great jealousy towards Lucas and the attention he was getting from Hova. He was Hova's boyfriend and yet Hova was showing more attention and affection towards Lucas then towards him. It wasn't right!
Lucas's wound was tended to and Hova and the others left leaving Zoc alone with his bitterness and Spindle.
To be continued.
