Chapter 21
Hunters POV.
Two days have gone by without Zoe. Two days! I think I'm going insane without her small body sleeping next to mine in bed. I've been going crazy, ripping my hair out trying to make sure she is safe every second of every day!
But here I am sitting on the couch with all my friends around me including Alex and Tony who have earned my friendship, but defiantly not my trust.
"So what is the plan?" Tristen asked, pulling his face out of his hands to speak.
"I have no clue," I breathed, rubbing my forehead. "It's already been two days! I can't believe my dad hasn't tried to come here yet! He's planning something... something bad."
"He's right," my brother agreed, standing up as I did before. "When Drake takes awhile to kill someone, it means he has an evil plan in mind. I hate to say it-"
"Don't!" I growled ripping my hair out. I knew what he was going to say.
"Dad might know where Zoe is," Tyler finished and I clenched my hands into tight balls at my side.
"Zoe's safe with Damon! He won't let anyone hurt her!"
"I want her to come home!" Casey finally spoke bravely. "I need my best friend back by my side!"
"It's too dangerous for her here," Mark sighed, leaning back further in his chair.
"Zoe is staying with Damon," I announced. "If she comes back here, it will be harder to take down my father."
"Yeah but Hunter think about it," Casey spoke. "We could use her as bait and kill Drake."
"It's not that simple Casey. My father will surly have men with him. If we kill him, they'll all attack us."
"Not exactly," Tyler began, his expression changing into his thinking mode. "If you kill Drake, you'll take over the gang! Whoever kills the leader takes their place!"
He did have a point. But we couldn't use Zoe as bait! She was in enough danger as it is.
Zoe's POV.
I jolt up from my amazing nap from the loud crash that boomed downstairs. Thinking Damon had dropped something and needed help, I quickly dashed down the hallway, and soon heard voices coming from the kitchen that were not so friendly. Why did you come out here Zoe why? You dingle berry!
I saw guys standing outside the open front door with guns in their hands, and soon saw a bunch of sleek cars waiting outside. "Where is she?" a deep, dark, dangerous and extremely familiar voice snarled.
"She's not here!" Damon yelled. After that, I heard a thump and knew Damon was being pushed against the wall.
"Tell me where she is and I won't hurt you!"
I gasped and immediately knew that was NOT a good idea when the room grew silent, and the air grew thick. I held my breath as the one person I had not been expecting to pop up in this situation glared down at me.
"Hello Zo," Cole smiled sweetly, causing me to stumble back slightly.
"What's going on Cole?" I asked, giving him a questioning look. It wasn't like him to do something so repulsive like this! I didn't even know he had this many friends!
"I came to rescue you!" he grinned, pulling me into a tight hug. "I heard about Drake and wanted to keep you safe since your like a sister to me!"
"Need... air!" I breathed and he pulled away chuckling, throwing me a sorry. "Is this okay with Damon? And why are all these men here?"
"Yes it's okay with him and because if Drake follows us, then we have people to protect you."
