Here is the ninth chapter of 'I love you' and I really hope you enjoy it! And as promised it is a bit longer!
Slowly Zoe opened her eyes, to just realise that she felt cool heavy metal around her right ankle and her wrists. As she pulled herself up into a sitting position she took in her surroundings. She was in some sort of transparent cube. There didn't appear to be a door but there were drains where she was sat.
She started tugging on metal cuffs that weighed her to the ground.
"Ahh V95, I see you are awake" A faint voice called out from outside the box. Zoe turned slightly to be given the sight of the Crime Minister with a malicious grin on her face.
"What?... why am I here?" Zoe asked desperately trying to unshackle her cuffs, but had no luck.
"Ahhh, good question well we had a little…. Helper to help us find you" The Crime Minister cackled. Even though she was outside of the transparent cube her laugh could've broken the glass she was placed in.
"What….. where am I?" Zoe asked tears brimming her eyes. What she really needed right now was not the information on how she got there or what was going to happen to her. No. What she really pleaded for was to be in Dan's arms him telling her that everything was going to be okay.
"You're in Spain, you never left the country, just simply down a few streets to here!" She smirked. Zoe turned away facing the other side of the cube so her back was towards the witch.
"Aww, V95 do you want your beloved boyfriend with you?" The Crime Minister said sarcastically "To die by your side!" She quickly finished smiling nasty.
Suddenly Zoe's head whipped round to face her again. Not because the fact that The Crime Minister had just practically announced that she was going to die. But the fact that she knew about her and Dan.
"H-how did you know about that?" Zoe asked her heart screaming for Dan's voice and touch and comfort that only he could provide for her.
"Ha ha I know many things V95 that you may not know!" She cackled darkly. "I know that you call yourself Zoe London. I know that you and Dan have been together since the beginning of the school trip you were on" She finished saying the word 'Dan' as if tasted nasty in her mouth.
"You know nothing about us!" Zoe declared her eyes filling with tears again.
"Yet evidence suggest otherwise" She laughed.
"How?" Zoe whispered to herself not realising that The Crime Minister was listening to her.
"You want to know how?" The Crime Minister asked "Here!" She finished snapping her fingers together to create a sharp sound that echoed through the cube.
Zoe twisted more to the side as she saw a figure emerge from the shadows and stand next to The Crime Minister, her eyes filling with anger, betrayal and most of all hurt.
"No…" She whispered looking at the body in front of her that had a smile on its face.
Dan started to wake up from his short nap that he didn't even realise he had. His blue eyes fluttered open hoping to see Zoe either sitting at the end of his bed or on hers. Instead he saw empty sheets. He looked at the large clock on the wall to see that it had been a couple of hours since Zoe left.
She can't still be talking to Neish…. Can she? Dan thought to himself as he begun to sit up properly and un-wrap himself from the bed sheets that were tangled around his muscly body.
Dan swung himself out of his bed and left his and Zoe's room and headed for Tom and Aneisha's just down the hall.
He knocked three solid times before opening to see the sight of them both playing cards on the floor and laughing at each other.
"Dan? Is everything okay?" Tom asked concern written on his face.
"Wait… where's Zoe?" Dan asked becoming more and more worried each minute.
"I don't know we haven't seen her since the walk" Aneisha said getting up from her spot in the floor and standing up.
"She said she needed to talk to you about something and said she was coming to you!" Dan said his voice thick with worry.
"What? I haven't seen her at all, I haven't even heard a knock" Aneisha replied "Oh no!"
Dan felt tears brimming in his sapphire eyes as he felt guilt weight his heart down to his feet. He wanted to punch something, but more than anything he wanted Zoe with him, holding him.
