Duck Drama: BOOK 2

Chapter 14- Zehra

MATT POV

I hate that I had to make Zehra watch that, but apparently Emma had some beef with her, an had to do it.

I keep reminding myself it's for Zehra... so she doesn't die...

But... It's hard. I really, REALLY, just want to go home... even if it means hanging out with Athena...

Right now I'm getting cozy since Emma told me to wait in her bed as she talks with Zehra. 

Wonder what they're talking about...

DEWEY POV

"You are the reason she left, after all..." Liam smirks. Turbo growls and barks.

I have a feelings he can understand conversation... 

Anyway, I don't have time for this bitch. He can go fuck himself. I'm going to find my girlfriend.

I know her. She would never leave without a reason or a goodbye. 

Right?

She cares about me... She's proved it. In her kiss, when she thought I died, when she says I love you, when she cares for me, treats me when I'm sick...

She- She does love me... and wouldn't leave... right?

NO! SNAP OUT OF IT! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT LIAM WANTS!

I roll my eyes and walk down the trail. That's where she was supposed to go, unless something happened.

Who am I kidding? OF COURSE SOMETHING HAPPENED!

I stop once I see footprints on the dirt. It shows two people and a dog. I follow them, Liam behind me and Turbo next to me sniffing the prints and wagging his tail. 

Yup. 

It's Zehra's...

I stop.

Another pair joined the three and it looks like Zehra fell... WHAT HAPPENED?! Did she hit her head?! 

Liam notices too, because he gives me a worried look.

We follow the two footprints and watch as the paw prints sprint towards the house. Damn... Turbo got lucky.

The two prints disappear and we start following a tire print...

Oh... this is going to take a while.

LOUIE POV

Wow. He left. Why am I not surprised? 

I know, I shouldn't be too hard on him... I guess I sorta was rubbing it in his face that my girlfriend is still here.

Athena's taking a nap on the bed, and I'm laying behind her, spooning her.

But I can't stop thinking about Dewey... maybe I should check on him,

'Dewey...?'

....

'Deweyyyyy!'

Ugh. He's too far. And he left his phone here- Why is he so reckless?!

And how did Zehra manage to love that about him?! Like, actually!

Whatever. Love is love.

I caresses my girlfriends shoulder. I can't believe she'll have to give up her child. And I can't believe she hasn't told me yet! Does she know I know? No..

She probably knows I know, and knows I know she knows.

UGH! GIRLS ARE SO CONFUSING! 

I silently scream into my pillow, hoping I didn't wake Athena up. 

At least I have her, though. I can't imagine what I'd do if Liam were over here trying to steal my girl...

What is happening to Zehra right now? Is she okay? Do we need to call the cops?

ZEHRA POV

I lay in the cell Emma left me in. It's cold, wet, and dark...

But I don't complain. 

I can't complain.

In fact, I can't talk.

My energy has been drained... and I feel like a hollow shell of the girl I used to be. My magic is still here, but only to keep me alive. Not to use. To survive...

Emma burned me.... stretched me... broke a few of my rib bones... cut me, stabbed me, sliced some of my skin off... you know, the usual. 

But what's really strange... I- I saw Dewey! He rescued me! He saved me and kissed me and talked to me- 

Until I realized I was hallucinating again. It happened when I was alone with no on there, and now it's happening again.

I wish I could fight, talk, whisper... but I can't.

The only sound I make is crying, like I am right now, or screaming, like when she tortures me.

I never knew that I had this many tears... 

They burn. The salt in them burns the cuts on my face, seeping inside. Emma even took my chains off. She decided that I was so weak, it wouldn't even matter..

But I think she's just trying to torture me even more.

By showing me, "Hey! I don't have any chains! I can walk out whenever I wanted to!" But then... "Oh no! I'm too weak to move!" 

I haven't seen Matt since he... um..... fucked Emma.

If I had known who and what she was a long time ago, I would never have allowed Matt to see her. But I didn't. So I let them see each other, and I wanted them to get together. 

Now that they are... I see it wasn't the best choice.

But... at the same time... It- It looks like Matt's enjoying himself... so...

Do I let it happen? Or stop it?

Will I loose a brother? Or save one?
