Never Give Up (UNDER EDITING)

Chapter 7. Message.

Steffi POV)

I stretch out, then slowly open my eyes, adjusting to the the sunlight pouring in from my windows and French door, I get up off my love seat, seeing Zayra isn't in my bed.

I see a note, it read.

HEYYY I went for a run;) I should be back any minute now! Xx

Z.

I smile and decide to get ready, I feel like doing something outside today. I grab clothes and go into my bathroom.

I step out and dry off, I put my hair in a messy bun, then put on booty shorts, and a white elephant crop top. I smile pleased, I then put my natural make up on. I slip on my black vans with Palm tree's. I then think about LA. I really miss it..

I sigh, Then grab my nap sack and put it on, having my gun, wallet, keys, phone, and earphones in it. I also have my knife in the back of my shorts, just in case you know.

I jump down the stairs, smelling bacon and eggs in the kitchen, I smile and see Marlee cooking, with her hair in a messy bun and her wearing the same outfit as me, "We're matching." I do a piece sign, she giggles.

"This for me?" I ask pointing to the food.

She giggles, "I can give you some."

I shake my head, "Nah, thank you though." I say as everyone else enters the kitchen, I sit on the island.

-

"Where's Zayra?" I ask worried as I look up from my phone. She's been gone for a long time.

"Not sure." Mahogany says.

I sigh, "I'm gonna take a walk." I grab a water bottle and earbuds, the song Love Robbery comes on.

I walk into the backyard and start walking a trail.

"Last seen in a little black dress, watch out for those eyes cause she's armed and dangerous like-" BOW!

My eyes widen, "Damn these are good earphones." I mutter.

It literally sounded like the shot was real, I shake my head and walk through the forest.

It's a very beautiful day today, maybe we'll set up the obstacle course again today. I take another drink of my water.

DING!

I look and see it's a voice message from a unknown number, I stop my music, I click play and listen to the recording carefully.

--

My eyes widen, I turn around, bringing my gun out, I search through the forest , "ZAYRA!" I yell.

Where is she!? Madison I will murder you personally, "ZAYRA!" I scream turning and running through the forest.

I hear a cough, or choke, I point my gun in case, I run and see Zayra, I point my gun down, her eyes are closed, "ZAYRA!" I yell and fall to my knee's.

She doesn't have the serum. Shit!

I swallow, this has only worked once before.. Maybe it'll work this time? I grab my knife, then cut my wrist, I wince as the blood pours out, I go and open Zayra's mouth, "This is gross." I mutter.

I close her mouth and tilt her head back, her swallowing it, I wait impatiently, "Come on Get up!" I yell shaking her.

I grunt, trying to lift her up, "Zayra! Get your ass up!" I yell worried this isn't working.
