I DO NOT OWN ZATCH BELL
Tia woke up, only to find herself in a stone-brick cell, chained to the floor. She grunted loudly as she tried to escape from her shackles. She heard laughter, followed by malice voice cockily greeting her.
"Hello Tia. Fine day, hmmm?" Out of the shadows stepped the nutorious Zeno. His purple eyes glowed with satisfaction that, ironically, still had glints of hunger for more revenge. His pake skin and white drss seemed to be mocking her. He was looming over her on the other side of the iron bars.
"Zeno." She glared icily, attempting to intimidate him. "Whatever you're up to you will not get away with. Zatch will rescue me, he always does."
"Really?" He chuckled. "I'm sorry, that little weakling doesn't even know you're gone. I plan on having him-" He air-quoted the word "rescue" "-you, because you will betray the little guy."
"WHAT?" She stood up in rage. "He has saved me countless times. Other than Megumi, he is my best friend, my alli, someone whom I can trust my life with! If you honestly think that is how I'm going to repay him, you're dumber than I thought!" Her face said that she had made her point.
"You will if you want him alive." She looked at him in horror.
"You...you...wouldn't...do that...right?" Her body shook a little. "He's too strong...for...you...to burn his book."
"I won't burn his book till after I kill him. I'm not just talking about sending him back to the mamodo world, I'm going to kill him! I'll send him to his Maker!" Tia couldn't contain her fears any longer. She collapsed on the ground, sobs shaking her body. Tears cascaded down her face.
"You wouldn't..." She began in a broken voice. "Do that..to him...he won't...let you."
He laughed again. "First Maruss was the betrayer. Now his little girlfriend is going to follow in his footsteps." He laughed and walked away. She gasped loudly.
How does he know about Maruss? She asked herself. She cried quietly, knowing there was no way out of this mess.
