The Kidnappers - Emotions (Chapter 10)

CHAPTER 10

- Zeki POV

Their shrieking voices are echoing around the house. I thought  Sap is immune Dese's annoying personality but he so clearly isn't but then again he had some bones to pick with her, we both did really. I take my sweet time climbing down the stairs, there's no point intervening because they will just block me out and I so wanted to see how this would play out.

Anything I wanted to say Sap can say it twice as better, he just has a way with words.All I'm saying is that she should know how we felt last night and it was traitorous what she did, it went against everything we believe in as team. We're a team, we work together and everyone has a say in everything and although we have our hateful moments, we still follow that rule.She blatantly had some amnesia last night though and needs to be put down a couple of notches, to reality. 

I peer around the kitchen door and the tension hits me with a "POW". Geez! Dese and Sap are in each others faces, looks pretty intense from where I'm standing, which is just around the corner. I probably would be blasted away from the excessive emotions swirling around them two.  

Who would've guessed, calm and wise Sap can get so worked up?  

Dese yells "You're such an ungrateful little...!

 That's the best she can come up with? Great comeback Dese. Lame. She couldn't even finish the sentence. 

She whips around and shoves me out of the doorway,wiping the grin of my face. You can literally see the the heat radiating off her, she storms down the hallway to the stair like a spolit brat, who hasn't got  a lollipop.   

I'm not involved in this for once, there's no need to abuse me about it. I shoot an evil at her back, as she tramples upstairs, giving the carpet a good beating, with her bare feet.

I turn around and step in the shiny surfaced, kitchen, a heavy silence lingers, as Sap just glares at the floor with his knuckles clenched up and his body in a defending stance. I'll just give him a couple of seconds so he can calm down, I know full well how frustrating it is fighting with Dese. She is so arrogant and ignorant at times.

I grab the plate with eggs on it and perch on the marble surface of the breakfast bar, my feet dangling in the air, as savour each bite of greasiness.  

"Dude...You all right?" I ask, a few minutes later, when I finish my breakfast, dumping the empty plate in the sink. 

He sighs. I watch him as he slowly relaxes his shoulders and unclenches his hands. He slumps on a chair, all the energy sucked out of him. Sap looks so tired, dark circles sag under his eyes, pasty skin. I don't think he has fully recovered from yesterday's disastrous events. He must have gone way overboard with the amount of power, he used to heal Dese.   

"Err...do you want a glass of water, you must be exhausted from that shouting match you just had?" I qip, trying to lighten the mood a little.

How do I approach these sort of situations?

He silently nods in reply, running his hand through his hair and murmurs 

"How could she?" There is so much confusion and agitation wrapped in his question.

I swivel around, whilst filling a glass up caught momentarily off guard. "What?" 

"How could she just bargain our lives and put herself at risk as well? All of us could have died and she is just blabbering about that we were no match for Jude. What is the matter with her?" 

"Look dude, she didn't do it on purpose it was the spur of the moment, she couldn't back out of it and besides she survived. You need to put your pride aside and think she maybe good intentions." 

I can't believe I'm standing up for Dese here, she so owes me after this. But then again I'd gotten over it last night, I was just as furious as Sap is now. There's no point arguing with Dese about her actions, she just will never going to admit she is wrong, even though probably all of us know what she did was moronic and dangerous last night. 

"WHAT! You think that I'm peeved off because I didn't get to fight Jude?" he shoots up, aghast.

"Well yeah, mostly yeah. We should have had a right to fight our own matters, especially if it is over our lives." I say slightly taken aback by his violent reaction. 

"I don't care about that! She flipping nearly kills herself out there and we were completely powerless to stop that. I hate the feeling of helplessness. We couldn't do anything Zeki, except watch her. It was so wrong." He slumps over the oak table, his head resting on it.

 I lean against the breakfast bar and fold my arms. I had the exact same thoughts last night but not as intense as his. But I did punch a wall I couple times to get rid of the anger. Wall punching and having a hot shower always works. Maybe he has had a delayed reaction or was just so brain dead last night that nothing really registered.

"Sap...we just need to forget this and move on. She probably honestly didn't mean what she did and everyone makes mistake. She is grateful that she is alive and we should be as well. Dese is not stupid she has learnt from her mistake. To be honest, I think she regretted her decision, as soon as that creep put them in the shield but she doesn't want to go back on her word, especially now because everything turned out, almost fine."

She better be or shit is going to go down.  

He nods slowly, peering up at me and runs his hand through his messy hair.  I reach over and pat him on the back but I am pulled into a hug. 

It's slightly scary seeing Sap so emotional. I guess he cares for Dese. He better be a wreak, when I have a near death experience.
