Hi there! Hope all of you are having a good time because I am. Guess what… I'm gonna do a quote of the chapter thing and here's the quote for today from our trainer in deb soc "Don't worry guys…I'm a nice person" Me: *screams from the back* " depends who you compare yourself to" he replies with "I'm at least nicer than Hitler" ….anyway here's chapter 14.

Zazie's POV

It's already been 2 days since my birthday but the events of that night still haunt me. The haunting look in Gambit's eyes, the way his white half mask gives him an eerie look, I remember it all so clearly. It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. What happened to Nathalia though is a different story. She still acted the same as if nothing happened. She was, as usual, annoying, funny and still childish but I know it's just a cover.

She apparently isn't here in the city as of the moment because she went on a short hunting trip yesterday and is expected to return the day after tomorrow. I couldn't imagine her being with Gambit, it just seems so… wrong. I don't know why but I feel like something should pull them apart. I feel the need to save her from herself. Maybe she doesn't know what she's getting into?... I guess, I can't think of an excuse good enough to think that she is innocent. My opinion on her changed now, I just really don't know what to believe. I can't even imagine Nathalia pretending to be our friend.

I punched the wall beside me and just started to control my anger. The people at the hive stared at me but they all resumed their work since they know I'm the type of person who gets angry easily.

"Zazie, stop or you might hurt the wall…" I know that voice but…

"Nathalia what are you doing…" I turned to look at her but I froze in shock. Her body is covered in small cuts and bruises, three larger cuts on her torso, her clothes were quite destroyed, her hair is kinda messy but still fine and she was sporting a black eye.

"GET HER TO THE MED BAY QUICKLY!" I heard Dr. Thunderland yell from behind and soon some people in white lab coats were escorting her to the med bay.

What happened to her…?

~~Time skip…~~

I entered the med ward and it seems no one was inside except for Nathalia. She was asleep so I guess, it is fine to just make sure she is ok. I went over to her bed and saw that she was now wearing a white dress, a black eye patch and most of her body was covered in bandages. What has she gotten herself into?

I sighed and sat down on a chair in one corner of the room. I should keep watch just in case she tries to do something stupid.

Nathalia's POV

"Zazie, stop or you might hurt the wall…" I saw him punch it at least three times the past few minutes and I'm worried he might hurt himself or worse the wall. I don't know what happened next because my vision was getting blurry then I saw Zazie open his mouth but I can't hear what he said. I steadied myself then I heard a faint sound in the background. Someone was yelling and I can feel myself getting closer to the edge of consciousness but I am trying to keep myself from falling. Soon figures in white were by my side and the last thing I remember was I was brought to a white room then everything went dark.

I woke up and found Zazie sleeping on a chair in one corner of the room. I sat up and took some of my own clothes from my bag and I changed. I noticed all injuries I got. Damn, this is gonna be hard to explain. I took a deep breath and started to stand up. Pain shot through my body and I winced with every move I made but at least I could stand up. I inspected the bandages and saw some red on it. I think I opened my wound a bit when I stood up.

"Hey Zazie wake up." I slapped him softly until he finally opened his eyes.

"You should go lie down and get some rest. It is important to get yourself fixed up." I pouted and pulled on him but I felt as if my arms were being torn from my body so I stopped. I felt a single tear drop from the corner of my left eye, my good eye. He stared at me then helped me back to bed. He tucked me in and sat at the edge.

"Aren't you gonna insult me now?" I said. He must be thinking of something witty to say because he furrowed his eyebrows and a small smirk made its way to his features.

"Maybe when you're better." He opened his mouth to say more but Lag and Niche suddenly burst through the door and from the looks of it, Lag has been crying. I studied him, his hair and clothing was a mess and his eyes were bloodshot. Niche just simply kept quiet and would from time to time comfort Lag. Soon all of us were lost in our conversation when Lag suddenly brought something up.

"Hey… Do you guys wanna have dinner at our place? I mean Sylvette really wants to have visitors and I guess you won't be hunting soon Nathalia… and I bet that Zazie would go, I mean he always does, so do you wanna go?" He said rather sheepishly. I smiled and nodded while Zazie was nearly falling asleep at the edge of my bed. I decided to kick him to wake him up but… he fell.

I laughed while Lag and Niche helped him up. Seriously, if Lag was a girl he'd be Zazie's girlfriend by now. He could keep Zazie from hurting himself.

Then it suddenly occurred to me… why was Zazie hitting the wall? I stared at the white walls of the room and thought about it… does he know? That's impossible… it's impossible. I shouldn't worry. It must be a different reason. It must be. I just hope it is.

I need more inspiration for this story... maybe if I eat some food….. speaking of which…I'm in the mood for I dunno…. Beef jerky?…or maybe ice cream… purple yam ice cream… you know what…I'm just gonna raid the fridge…see ya later
