The Tale Of The Zones: Bondaged (Book 2)

Chapter 11

Toxic Kitten POV

I couldn't believe it.

He was right here in front of me. He was holding me.

When we kissed I felt as if I forgot about everything that has happened. It felt as if the months we had been apart didn't even happen.... As if we were together all along.

"Toxic... I'm so sorry. I missed you so much. I can't-"

I shut him up by kissing him once again.

I ran a hand through his hair and he rests his hands at my hips.

I pull away and realize that he is crying.

I kiss his check and wipe away his tears, the he wipes away mine.

"These months without you.... They have been the worst.... I was stupid and everything is my fault." He says, his voice breaking with almost every word.

I lead him over to where my bed was so we could both have a seat.

"Please explain what happened." I say as I take his hands into mine."

"I will soon. Please, just for now... Just let us be happy for a little bit." He says as he closes his eyes and pulls me closer to him.

"I don't care that you were with Val. I don't care that you were carrying his child. I still love you and always will." He says out of no where.

I look up at him in confusion,"what? Poison... Val was nothing more than a friend to me. I was never with him...where did you get that idea?" I ask.

He swallows,"Cho.... She told me that you went with him and you two were having a baby together.... The one she.." He looks down, not needing to finish the sentence.

Tears well up in my eyes again. That lying punk. I never wanted to break it to him like this....."Poison.... I never slept with Val. He was nothing more than a good friend. That baby was ours. It was your son. She lied to you. She probably lied to get you against me. "

He bites his lip and quickly gets and punches a wall, then he screams in frustration.

"That is the last time. I'm going to kill her. All this time. All these lies." He said as he paced the cell, hands pulling at his jet black hair.

He looks at me and his face softens.

He pulls me into a hug and we cry together. He let out horrible sobs as the reality hit him.

"What did you name him?" He asked after he calmed down a little.

"Didn't get the chance. She threw him out before I even got to see him." I choke out.

"I could have done something. I already tried to stop her... I could have tried harder." He whispers.

"This is no one's fault but hers. " I say quietly.

He sniffles and pulls me into a hug as he kisses my forehead,"We will get revenge Toxic. This I promise. And.. And we could try again in the future."

I look at him in disbelief,"I don't even want to think about having another kid in all honesty. " I say.

No response.

I look into his hazel eyes and he just holds me there for a while,"Time for me to explain?"

"That would be nice" I say.

He breathes in,"It was a few days before we left for the mission to get Missile Kid.... I was outside getting some air, and Korse came... Not to hurt me or anyone, but to give an offer." He glances at me and continues,"He said that if I was to go into Bat City, and announced me to be dead to the world while I'm actually working with them, they would leave the killjoys alone. Leave you alone and not hurt anyone."
The dim light is shined on his face, making him appear more pale than he already is,"As you see, I didn't think it through. Didn't talk to anyone about it because I knew you would all oppose to it. But um.... They took more than just me, they took the rest of the guys. " He looks at me with hurt and anger in his eyes,"and they didn't even keep the damn deal. Look what they've done."  His voice crached and it broke my heart to see him like this.

He breaks down, sobbing into my chest,"Toxic I'm so sorry. They promised. This was never supposed to happen. I just wanted peace. I just wanted you to be happy."

I try not to, but can't help but feel angry. I know he had good intentions, but why would he trust BLi?

I wipe the tears off his cheeks once more,"Poison, I know you didn't want this to happen. But why would you be dumb enough to trust them?"

"I had hope." He croaked out.

"You knew we had something to fight for. You knew our job was to take this place down.... Not surrender to it." I say in a harsh whisper.

He looks up at me,"I promise that we will get out of here. I will get you out of here. "

"Oh, just like how Cho kept her promises?" I say coldly, but immediately regretted it.

His eyes widened and he looked down at his shoes.

My eyes widen,"I'm so sorry, I'm just a little upset."

"It's okay. I understand. "

"I still love you Poison. Just.... Ugh."

"I love you too." He says as he rubs my back,"And I don't blame you or anyone for being angry at me. All of the guys were when I explained why we weren't dead, Mikey is still pissed at me!"

I tilt my head, "Who is Mikey?"

"Oh. Kobra Kid. We can't use our killjoy identities here."

"Right... And how did I forget his name? I already knew." I said to no one in particular. 

He leans his head against the wall,"I just want things to be okay. That's all I ever wanted. For you. For us. For everyone. " he says.

I take ahold of his arm and snuggle into his warm body.

"We will find a way out of this. We always do. This time, it is more challenging."

He looked at me and took ahold of my cheek as he smiled,"After everything that's happened.... You are still as beautiful and determined just like you were when we first met. You've only grown stronger. I admire that about you, Toxic."

I give him a small smile,"You may think you did nothing to help, but you did. It all turned into chaos.... you put everyone before yourself. You sacrificed yourself. You are the strong one here."

He kisses me for what seemed like the hundreth time that night.

His warm, soft lips feeling like home. Every time our lips touched, it gave me bliss. It reminded me of the desert, back in our happy days.

I wish it could all go back to that. The dancing, partying, and ghosting Dracs.

Back when we were all happy. Yes, we had to worry about Dracs, but we were all free. It was all a giant party.

But I know that things will never be the same again.

There is always going to be a weird barrier between Poison and I. We both knew it.

Because yes.... It was his fault that things ended up this way. I know he didn't mean to, but he even admitted that he was stupid for falling for BLi's tricks.

If I didn't love him to death, I probably would have shown more anger towards him, but I know he regrets what he did.

He looked at his watch to check the time,"Damn it. I have to go." He whispers.

I bite my lip,"Will you come back?"

He looks at me as if I had just said am insult,"What kind of question is that? Of coarse I'll be back."

I grin at him before he embraced me in his arms.

"Hurry back. We have to make plans." I say as I start walking towards my bed.

He gave me a confused look, "Plans for what."

I turn back and look him right in the eyes.

"Plans to kill Cho. "

He gives me a grim smile,"Good that."
