Intrigue Par Vous -(COMPLETED)-

Chapter 9: Raging Fear

BLAZE'S POV:

I was flabbergasted that everyone was cheering for me. I giggled and hid my face with both of my hands, then removed them, staring at everyone, confounded. A man walked up to me with his mic.

"Wow!" He spoke into the mic, smiling. "You have talent, Blaze!"

I guffawed. "Thank you"

He grinned. "I assume you sing most of the time. You could earn a lot of money with that voice!"

I beamed. "No. I'd like to be a designer. Designing clothes, and yeah"

The audience clapped, obviously pleased with my response. It was the truth, I had a passion for designing and drawing. I thanked the man and jumped down the stage, shyly prowling through the audience to my table. I sat down. Paige's jaw dropped. Adam was talking, telling me I was a really good singer and all. Blah blah blah. A waitress came to take our order. 

"Good evening, ready to order?" She asked sweetly.

Adam grabbed her attention, obviously wanting to place his order. "A grilled chicken please, with a coke"

"I'll take the same" replied Paige. The waitress wrote everything down.

Zayne looked at the menu, then spoke. "I'll take your lasagne, with a 7up please"

I looked at the menu. 

"Right, I'd like your large beef burger, with large fries, a medium calamari, a medium pepperoni pizza. For drinks, I'll take two large vanilla milkshakes, a coke and a glass of water" I grinned, giving her the menu. Zayne grinned, in shock. Adam and Paige just looked at eachother and laughed it off. I admit, I am quite a big eater. Soon, the food arrived and we dug in into our food. Then after a while, I realised Zayne wasn't eating. I tapped him on the shoulder and motioned him to step outside. 

I sighed heavily. "Are you okay?"

He chuckled, then left. I followed him. 

------- 45 MINUTES LATER --------

It had been 45 minutes and my legs were aching in these heels. I unstrapped my shoes and carried them. I didn't care if walking barefoot hurt, I wanted to know what was wrong with him. I eventually followed him into an alleyway. I realised there was a door at the end. I followed him inside, making sure he didn't see me. 

"Didn't expect you here" A voice spoke.

"I need to protect her" Zayne growled.

"She's just a girl!" The voice laughed.

"No. Xavier's up to something!" Zayne replied, obviously angry. I then had the suden urge to sneeze. I whimpered.

ATCHOO!

"Someone's here" The voice growled. I backed away, feeling something behind me.

"It's a girl!" They exclaimed. Shit. I bolted for the door until someone grabbed my arm aggresively. I yelped and faced him. He was raging with anger, a side that I hadn't seen. He got out his gun, making sure it had bullets. He pointed it at me.

"Did you follow me?" He asked.

"I...uhmm...y-you see...uh..er...erm" I stammered. 

"Answer the question" He spoke louder. I looked down in shame...I realised now what this was. He was in a gang.

ZAYNE'S POV:

She looked petrified. She shouldn't have come 'ere. This was a stupid idea. I gripped on her wrist harder, making her scream in agony and fear. My heart began aching when she turned to me with tears in her eyes. She turned away, hiding her tears. I was doing this for her own good, she didn't realise that. Xavier knew I cared for her, in a way. If he knew it, then obviously he'd use her against me. I couldn't bear that because she was a friend. The only one I felt I could trust. I don't know why I don't even know if she cared about me. I pulled her closer, her eyes staring wide open at mine in fear. She was shaking and breathing heavily. I turned to the side of her head.

I whispered, slowly and clearly. "If you ever say anything about me or this place, I will kill you" 

Her eyes widened and I heard her whimper. I whispered again."Get out"

I dropped her and watched as she ran out.
