Last time: "Rythian." The word slipped out of her mouth before she could stop it.
"Zoey?" Rythian said hesitantly. "Why are you here?" He asked.
"I, um…" She said, looking back at the big mushroom. "I was, um…" Suddenly she threw the bucket of water at Rythian. Rythian closed his eyes and felt the water cover him from head to toe. He opened his eyes and saw that Zoey was gone.
"What the…" He muttered. He flew around the mushroom several times trying to figure out she left. Then when he was looking on the ground for anything he found it. There was a staircase at the back of the mushroom. It led down to an iron wall. He stepped forward and he heard the click of pistons. The iron wall opened and an alarm sounded. He quickly stepped inside, "There aren't any magic alarms." He muttered. The inside was surrounded by obsidian and there was a whole in the middle of the small room. There were ladders leading down to somewhere. He took a deep breath, "Oh Zoey what have you done now?" He asked no one in particular. He climbed down the ladder and it led him down to an open room. There was a huge computer with words flashing, "Barry?" Rythian questioned. "Wasn't that the dumb mushroom that Zoey crowned the king or something?" He muttered. "A better question is what the hell is all of this?" He asked. He walked to what looked like a sliding door and he flicked a lever on the wall. It opened up into a hallway with door on either side. His attention was focused on the door at the end of the hall. He drifted down the hall and stepped on the pressure plate. Again an alarm sounded and Rythian quickly walked inside. He looked around and saw a bunch of monitors with different people. "What the actual fuck?" He said, flying around and looking at all the monitors. "There's one for everyone. Tee, Sjin, Sips, Simon, Lewis... everyone even herself. Except for me... What the hell has Zoey been doing behind my back?" He asked to the empty air. "After everything I've done for her. After everything... She just betrayed me like that... And under our home?!" He said, flying down to the floor. He felt tears sting his eyes, "I never should have trusted her." He whispered. Then he noticed something in the middle of the crater in the floor. It was a hatch, "What's this?"
Zoey had flown down into her base when Rythian had found her. She flew into the room with monitors. When she heard Rythian in the hallway she quickly flew into the secret underground chamber with Rythians monitor. She heard him enter and she heard him mutter things. She looked at his monitor. The threat level had gone up.

She smiled when she saw her name. Then she heard him walking towards her hiding spot and she gasped, "He's coming." She sighed, "I can't keep hiding." She said. So instead she waited. She stepped back so he wouldn't see her once he walked in. He dropped down and saw the monitor, "What the hell?" He asked.
"Hello Rythian." Zoey said.
"Holy christ." He said, whipping around.
Zoey stood tall, "I see you've found my laboratory." She said, not meeting his eyes. Instead she stared at his monitor.
"It seems I have." He said, in that eerily calm voice. "Zoey why?" Were his only words.
She took that moment to look him straight in the eyes. They glowed with a passion she had never seen before and she wanted to flinch. Now she had two choices, she could tell him the truth or she could continue this lie she had built for herself. She chose the former, "Information." Was the first word out of her mouth.
Rythian flinched, "What?" He asked, his eyes still boring into hers.
She took a deep breath and held in the tears, "I needed you to for information. Same thing with Sjin. Same thing with Lalna. I wanted revenge the moment I died. I had no idea where to start, then I met you." She said, pausing. "I figured you could teach me what to do in the art of magic. With Duncan the art of science. I went to Sjin purely for information on how mich of a threat he was." She paused again. She figured if she told Rythian the truth, it would be easier for both of them. "I stayed with you longer because I needed more information." She finished.
Rythian looked away and Zoey went back to staring at the monitor. "So what you're saying is... You've been using me." He said.
There was a moment of silence, "Yes." She answered. Rythians monitor went blank for a second but then it came back on. Everything was the same... except for one thing.

Rhythian said nothing. He activated his flying ring but before he could go she whispered, "I used you... at first." She didn't think he heard because he flew out of the hatch without another word.
What Zoey didn't know was that Rythian had heard. He was just too consumed in his anger to think straight. he needed air. He flew straight out of the laboratory and out of Blackrock. He didn't stop until he got to baby Jim. Then he landed and sat down on the basalt. It was there that he let the tears fall. They stung his face but he didn't care. It wasn't until later when the tears had stopped that he thought about that sentence. I used you... at first. What did that mean? He thought. "At first." He muttered.
Zoey was left back at the laboratory. Once Rythian left, she fell to her knees. She continued to stare at the monitor No signs of weakness it said. It didn't change. She cried. She cried and cried. "At first Rythian!" She screamed. "At first!" She screame again. She knew he wouldn't hear but really at the moment what else could she do.
Hello! I've had this idea in my head that Zoey was hiding something from Rythian. It was stuck in my head for the longest time and know you're reading it! I figured, why not just write it? So review and hope you enjoyed! :)
