Beautifully Dangerous (Technoblade x OC [Azalea])

Chapter 35:

Techno's P.O.V

Zia had gone with Tubbo and Ranboo to go get Michael and bring him here. I was anxious that she went with them without a weapon, but I knew she could handle herself in dangerous situations. That still didn't help with the voices.

They have been none stop talking in my mind, never shutting up. They wanted to follow her, but I told them that she would be alright. 

'Techno, can we go hunting?.... Yeah! Lets go hunting.... But what about Zia?... She'll be fine! Plus, we want blood!... blood!.... BLOOD!...'

I sighed, but got up anyways. I grabbed my cape and attached my sword to my waist, and walked out the door, telling Phil I would be back in a bit. I took a deep breath before walking into the forest. 

The quiet of the morning was soothing to my aching head. There was a cool breeze blowing through the trees. I kept walking, hear the occasional snap of a twig in the distance. I really needed to come out here more often. The sway of the branches in the trees was calming. 

I heard a twig snap fairly close to me, and turned to see a deer standing there. Specifically, a stag. His horns were a decent size, and he looked fairly young. I walked closer to it, and it lifted its head up towards me.

We stared at each other for a minute. I sighed, and sat down. The stag just continued to stare at me, not afraid at all. More curious than anything. We just watched each other, for who knows how long, before I noticed that the sun had risen quite a bit.

The voices were actually silent the whole time I was staring at the stag. I got up, and that's when the stag decided to dart off. I sigh, shaking my head, before walking back towards the house. I was deep in thoughts as the house came into view.

I opened the door, and was immediately on alert. There was shouting coming from the living room. I rounded the corner, and saw everyone was gathered there. I slowly walked out, and everyone turned towards me. That's when I noticed them.

Ranboo was in the corner, knees pulled up towards his chest, and he looked like he was having a full blown panic attack. Tubbo was standing near Tommy, panting and the same look of panic on his face. I looked around, and I saw a little piglin asleep on Niki's lap. He looked like he was having a nightmare.

I glanced around at everyone else, but they all had a look of panic on their faces as well. That's when I noticed that Azalea wasn't with them.

"Where's Zia?" I said. Everyone wouldn't meet my eyes. My eyebrows furrowed, and I quickly made my way across the room towards the stairs, walking up them. I checked her bedroom. Everything was untouched. I started to panic now. 

I looked in all the rooms upstairs, no one coming up to get me. I walked back downstairs. The little piglin I saw earlier was now awake and curled up into Mumza's side, gently crying. I looked around and saw everyone else was scared or crying.

"What's going on?" I said, getting scared at this point. Everyone was petrified, and Zia wasn't here.

"Techno, you can't freak out..." Phil said, getting up and approaching me. I took a step back, my hand going to my sword. It was an instinct at this point.

"Phil, what's going on?" I asked again, looking him dead in the eyes. 

"Techno, you need to understand, it wasn't their fault-"

"What wasn't their fault?!" I said. "Phil, tell me what's going on!" I yell at him, getting more worried by the minute.

"Zia's been kidnapped" Tommy says. I turned to look at him, seeing tears in his eyes. There was also bitterness, but not directed at me. He was looking straight at Ranboo. Then his words hit me. Zia's been kidnapped.
