The Tale Of The Zones: A Danger Days Fanfiction(book 1)

Chapter 16: love Bites

Toxic Kitten POV:
"I promise. " Poison said.

I smile and gasp as soon as the pain in my leg shoots up through my body.
I forgot that I had been shot.

"You alright?" Party Poison asks with panic in his voice.

"I'm fine, just....sore, tired."

"How can you be tired when you were shut down for a day and a half?" A voice booms that can only belong to the short man we know as Fun Ghoul.
I look to the door and see him amd the other three guys smiling.

They all pile into the room. "How are you?" Kobra Kid asked.

"Pretty good despite the shot wound." I say rubbing my leg. Jet looks over and grabs the wheelchair.

"Come sit here. We don't mind wheeling you around the nest." He says.

Poison and Jet help me get into the chair.

"Dr. D wanted to talk to you poison, but now that Toxic is awake... He wanted to talk to you both." Jet says.
Poison and I looked at each other.
"Ok. Let's go." I say, then Poison pushes me down the hall to the doctors radio station

We enter the dirty shack in the nest and hear the some Bulletproof Heart playing.

"Welcome back to the world Toxic Kitten. We need to have a little chat." Dr. D's voice sounded urgent.

"We saw everything that happened. We heard everything too." He started as he took off his sun glasses.

"You two are in a group. Party Poison almost dies because he wanted to go back for you."

"That wasn't her fault. She told me to go." Poison started.

"You are the leader in a rebellion. We all know what happened last time you fell, it didn't end well."

What happened last time?

"You two are in the same group."

"So are Electric Rose and Cherri Cola!" Party shouts.

"Sir, please...this is all we ever wanted. Things won't go.bad. I have no idea what happened last time....but I assure you, it won't happen again."

"Look. Poison is a leader. He can't risk anything. So I'm thinking of moving you to a different group...."

"No!" Poison yells. His face red.

"I did not almost die and come back to live with my hopes up just for you to push her away from me. She is what keeps me going!"

"Well, if you can't stay away from her, then you can't be together. Is that clear?"

We both look at each other. My heart drops to my stomach. His eyes are filled with sadness.

"This is freaking bull crap!" Poison yells.
"Is that a deal?" Death says a little louder.

Party Poison scowls at him and growls,"deal." Then Death looks at me and I nod.

Party pushes me out of the room.
A tear trickles down my cheek.
"I'm sorry, tumbleweeds, but love bites."

We roll down the hallway back to my room where a nice dinner of canned dogfood was waiting.

"I can't believe we can't be together."
I say shoving a spoonful in my mouth.

"I don't give a crap what he says. I love you." He says, still pretty heated up from the argument.

"What are you saying."

He gets down and kisses me,"I'm saying I don't give a crap what he says, I'm still gonna be with you."

I look at him in shock.

"What? We've been through hell and back. We confessed our feelings, but almost died. We have a chance now." He looks down. "My past love life..... It won't happen again." He says, mostly reassuring himself.

I look at him,"If we get caught, we're in deep trouble." I say.

He smirks," Trouble is my middle name."

"That was lame." I snort. Then I frown.

"What's wrong?" He said with a
concerned look on his face.
I twirl my fingers through his bright red hair and look into his beautiful hazel eyes.

"Poison, Death is a pretty cool guy. He's the type of guy who wouldn't care about relationships and all of that stuff. What could have possibly happened in your past love life to make him not trust you with us? Hell, I didn't even know you had a girlfriend before me.... I thought we told each other
everything." I say a little saddened.

His face turns stone cold,"I have told you everything, apart from that chapter of my life."

What could be so bad about this?

"You know I'll love you no matter what."

"That's not what I'm afraid of." He says. He looks zoned out. Like he's reliving everything.

"Poison-"

"Look, I can't freaking do this right now. Okay? Just leave it!" He says as he puts his head in his hands.

That's he first time he has ever yelled like that.

I bite my lip and wheel myself back to the room. I honestly wanted to cry, and I know it sounds stupid, but He's never used that tone with me.

I see Kobra as I'm wheeling down to my room. I was honestly half expecting Poison to follow, but I guess I pissed him off pretty well.

"Hey, what are you doing all alone?" Kobra says as he jogs to me." Let me help you out."

I tell him to head to my room and he pushes me there.

"You doing all right?"

"I'm fine. Within a couple weeks I'll be back out there shooting again." I reply.
"Well that's good to hear." He says as he takes me into the room.

I tell him thank you and he goes off to find the others.
*******************************
It's been about three weeks. I'm almost completely healed and I can walk on my own and even run. I've been practicing shooting with some other killjoys. Including Electric Rose and the prisoner we saved, Curly Fry. She was actually really cool. And one hell of a sassy killjoy. Pretty jazzy shooter too. She and Kobra got a long well, but she was dating Squinted Noodle. Sadly, Kobra Fry could not happen.

Speaking of relationships, I know it sounds stupid, but ever since Poison yelled at me, we haven't talked Much at all. It wasn't just because he was busy around headquarters, which I understand because he leads us, but he barely talks to me at all. I try to start a conversation, but he cuts it short and leaves.

I try not to be mad, but I can't help it. I also can't ignore the fact that he has been keeping stuff from me. As friends, we told each other everything and we should be able tot ell each other even more now. And he yelled at me for asking. If he wants to be mad, then so be it. Two can play at that game.
We stay at HQ for a few more days then leave, we also left Missile Kid there, deciding to pick her up when there is less Dracs on the radar. I say goodbye to Curly Fry, Rose and everyone, except for Dr. D because I was still a little
ticked off from him.

We finally drive to the diner, where we all practically hit the hay.

I, of coarse went to the roof, the one spot I was comfortable at. I lay there and close my eyes.

I finally eneter the world of dreams when footsteps disrupt my slumber.

"Who's there?" I say with my gun pointed.

I see the red haired man with his hands up as if surrendering.

"We need to talk." He says.

I put my gun down and smirk,"indeed we do."
