*Please don't kill me* I'm so very very sorry for leaving it this long! Please don't kill me but Year 10 has been full of tests and revision and I simply haven't had enough time to write so I'm sorry but please R&R!
Anyway on with this chapter…
Dan didn't hesitate to kick the door down that lead inside the old warehouse. After kicking it off its hinges Dan sprinted inside to see another door leading too 'The Crime Minister's office' as it said on the sign.
Dan rushed inside, Tom and Aneisha right on his heels as they searched the office as quickly as they could to try and find any source of Zoe and her whereabouts.
"Urghh" Dan almost growled, kicking over a very ugly looking flower pot that was sat on a cabinet in the corner.
"Dan! Calm Down!" Aneisha shouted giving a harsh but somehow sympathetic look towards the blonde "We will find Zoe!" She finished going back to looking for clues.
Dan was about to argue before Tom called them both over to him.
Tom was standing beside a table, more like a desk, and was holding a note in the palm of his hand.
'Shame how things turn out, losing a so-called loved one. You'll be happy to know you won't have to bother with her anymore, I have… how would you say… disposed of her. See you in the next battle. The CM'
Tom read the note to the two other teens. Dan snatched the note and ripped it into shreds and watched as the torn pieces fall to the floor. Tears forming in his eyes as he looked down on the tiny pieces of paper.
Before he looked away, he spotted a red blur to one of the pieces of paper. As tears spilled over his tanned face he bent down and picked up part of the note to see the number 'Door 13' in red writing.
"Door 13…" Dan started as he controlled his tears and rushed out the room.
Tom and Aneisha gave each other a concerned look before they both shot out of the room after Dan.
"Oh my God…" Dan whimpered as he stared into room 13. Aneisha and Tom both froze in horror whilst looking over Dan's shoulder to see inside. Dan took a few steps into the room slowly pondering what to do.
In front of him he saw a transparent cube filled with clear blue and cold looking water. Inside the cube however was his beloved Juliet. Zoe's clothes clung to her very slim body, indicating she had lost a lot of weight since her disappearance. Her head was bowed and she was floating due to the water lifting her up, however she was stopped due to a large metal ball holding her down so the she was just a floating body in the midst of water.
"No…" Dan whispered as his knees gave out underneath him, making him topple to the floor. He heard sniffling off to the right and looked as much as he could see due to his watered eyes, to see Aneisha walking towards him with something shiny in her hand.
"Do it!" Aneisha said, pure determination in her voice but her eyes holding a waterfall of tears, as she gave Dan her lipstick. Dan had a confused look in his eye for a pure second before realising it was her 'cut through anything lipstick'.
Dan nodded bringing himself to stand up, even if it brought him great difficulty. Standing up he lifted the lipstick and switched it on, creating a large circle that the laser cut threw. After finishing the circle, the glass broke into a million pieces water instantly flowed out, coating the whole floor in water.
As the water thrashed out of the cube. The chain around Zoe's ankle snapped, letting Zoe free as she moved with the current of the water, lifeless, through the circle and onto the floor apart from she only really encountered the floor for a millisecond, being already picked up into Dan's arms and carried out of the water filled room and into another, followed by a crying Aneisha and crying Tom wrapped up in each other's arms.
The room they entered was rather plain, and only had a large table and three chairs around it.
Dan instantly laid Zoe gently on the table and watched in fear as her head lolled to the side. He looked down her body to see her clothes saturated and clung to her body like nothing, her eyes were still shut and her skin deathly pale.
Dan placed to fingers to the side of her neck to check for any vibrations of a pulse but came up with nothing Dan looked up to see Tom on the phone tears still in his eyes as he sobbed down the phone with Aneisha still in his arms.
Tom looked towards Dan giving him a gentle nod. Knowing what Dan was thinking, but knowing Dan he was assessing every situation.
Dan gave a quick nod back before placing both his palms at the epicentre of Zoe's chest before gently pushing on her chest in gentle beats as he opened her mouth and began to blow air inside of her. Giving everything he had to get her back to him again.
After ten minutes of pumping her chest with his palms and arms and blowing air into her, he began to feel light headed. He stood back regaining his breath as he took a chair and sat on it getting Zoe's hand and placing it in his own as he began to cry. Tears flowing down his face for everything he had lost.
The girl with the big smile.
Big heart.
Kindness and happiness.
The girl that he gave his heart too.
His Juliet.
As he was crying his heart jolted for a moment when he felt his hand being squeezed weakly. Dan looked up tears still sliding down his face as he looked at Zoe's chest to see it very slowly and weakly rising up an inch and back down…
There we are! Again I am so so so so so so so so sorry for leaving it this long but I hit a massive case of writers block and have simply not had enough time to write my lovelies!
Please please please review! I have missed all of your reviews so much! Tell me what you think will happen next!
Lots of love,
