Opposites Attract (Zerrie fanfic)

Chapter Twenty One

Chapter Twenty One: 

Perrie's POV:

There was darkness all around me when I woke up with the sound of wings flapping furiously somewhere in the room but there was no gold ray of light visible as I struggled to figure out where exactly I was. If I wasn't mistaken, the sound was definitely of those magical fireflies so was I at Zayn's secret place and if so then when did I reach here? How did I reach here? Who brought me here? My throbbing mind was racing with questions that I had no answers for.

The extreme heat in this pitch black room was burning me fast and I could feel the beads of sweat as well as my own salty tears roll down onto my lips that were parted slightly by what felt like a tight cotton cloth. Not only was there a cloth wedged between my teeth but even my hands and feet were tied severely so that I couldn't move if I tried.

My whole body was aching in pain and my brain had given up speculating whether I was hallucinating or dreaming because I didn't have enough energy to even whisper let alone think straight. Ah! The constant reminder of stomach cramps and the heavy dress, however, made this tormenting experience more agonising.

My heart pounded in the pool of suspense and fear, banging against my sore chest with the same beat as the flies. I repeatedly wished this was a terrible nightmare but the pain was undoubtedly real and my hunger was widening as time dragged by until I couldn't cope any more and drifted back to sleep. Zayn... 

....................................................

This definitely was not a dream because I woke up in the same hot room as before, only this time it was less gloomy since there was some form of lights coming out of the jars which were scattered around the room. I fought to keep my eyes open because I had to see who the person opposite of me was, only if the canvas hadn't gotten in the way. Zayn? I hoped... But Zayn would never trap me like this. 

I tried to scream and shout from my clogged mouth but all that came was whimpers, even my body refused to provide help when I attempted to shift in the bed. 

"Is our Sally finally awake?", the feminine voice was so familiar but last time I heard the same voice, it sounded rather sweet and friendly unalike now which was very uncanny and even scary. 

Suddenly. her face popped out from behind the painting, frightening the living breath out of me, if I hadn't been bandaged in the mouth then I was sure I would never be able to speak again because she looked extremely terrifying with her big green pupils poking out from her small eyes and the sly smile she had on told me things were about to get worse.

"Don't be scared. I'm not going to kill you silly." Sarah mocked.

"Okay maybe I am tempted after seeing this painting. Seems like Zayn really did get in your pants huh? Naughty naughty, both of you."

I flinched as she walked closer towards me and smiled before taking off the piece of cloth around my mouth. As if the smile was going to make everything better!

"You bitch!" I spat and then started choking uncontrollably. What had she done to me!?

"Choke bitch choke!" she sneered.

"Let me go." I uttered in broken words.

"If I did then all this effort to get you here would be wasted wouldn't it now? Oh and let's not forget I am destined to be with Zayn and that's not possible if you are in the picture is it?"

Zayn! He didn't even know about me yet and this lunatic was planning God knows what next, please don't fall for the trap Zayn. Not again.

"Don't cry like a baby now! You know you should be happy that I am nice enough to keep you alive and in return what do you give me? Nothing!"

"Zayn doesn't like you. If you think -

My face jolted sideways after the sting placed by her cold, hard hand. Slowly the stream of blood from the corner of my bottom lip trailed inside my mouth. At least it gave some moisture to my dry lips. She was going to pay when I got the chance!

"Zayn doesn't know anything! He's still stuck in that stupid texting thing you two have but you know what, I love him enough to tolerate his boring talks about silly problems and cheap gifts. That's called love Perrie. I am ready to sacrifice for him."

"Too bad he's got Ariana now."

I smiled slightly, thinking her face would crumple and wither with anger but my smile faded as soon as it came when she laughed insanely. 

"You really think a fool like Ariana will get in my way? That girl is playing under my rules. Do you want to know what I have planned?"

At last, I began to see what this sick girl was plotting. Did she know I was Sally when we met outside the Buckingham palace or was she just taking advantage of Zayn's stupid mistake. No, she couldn't have possibly known because no one knew who I was except for me. I knew what she was trying to do though, get me out of the way first and then Sally as well, only this time Sally was Ariana but it didn't explain how Zayn was supposed to fall for her? My thoughts were halted when two fingers snapped sharply in front of my face.

"I would have never suspected you because I rarely knew you but Zayn's not as secretive as you. He told me to meet him in West street and I did but you got in the way and you guys do know this house is the property of the new bride to be."

"Nina?"

"Yeah but no-one wants it since it's so ugly and small. Zayn made it even more ugly to be frank."

"Sarah you don't have to do this. I know -

"Shut up! Let me finish."

Before I could open my mouth to protest, Sarah filled my mouth with the same old cloth again and I couldn't even fight back.

"So... As I was saying, you guys randomly broke in someone else's property and I couldn't help but spy on you two cheaters."

I literally felt like puking after getting in terms with what she was actually saying. I hope she didn't mean what I thought she meant.

"You're lucky the bushes and tress prevented me from seeing anything gross otherwise I would have recorded it all and sent it to every single person in London. That would have been a sweet revenge. One good moment was when Zayn opened the windows in the morning without his shirt on, which by the way makes you look like a dirty slut." 

Oh why are my hands tied? I wanted to smack her damn face so hard right then. All I could do was lay there lamely, flopping like a captured fish. Wait, was she the person I caught staring? 

"In case you're wondering how I managed to see all that. I was in tower of that farm. Luckily they were busy preparing for the wedding so I sneaked in and hid there." she rambled on.

The wedding?! Did that mean the farm Nina wanted to get married in was just outside with Zayn and everyone else close by? 

"Don't get so happy. No-one will know you are here, I'll make sure of that. And after everyone gives up on finding you, I will be there by Zayn's side to comfort him and offer my shoulder."

"And Ariana will not get in the way because as I said, she is a fool. It was so easy to persuade her to be Sally. I had to do that because I knew Zayn doubted me when he rang me up. So if I carried on pretending to be Sally, he'd have no interest. Now all Ariana has to do is make Zayn loathe Sally. Then he'll forget you, Sally and will come running back to me you watch. I win!"

"You know, I didn't know you would be Sally even when I decided to lock you up but your phone gave it all away yesterday. You can imagine I was more than shocked. I was just going to lock you here because it seemed that he was into you but thank God I got hold of your phone too! Now it'll be easier to prove Ariana is Sally."

I wasn't listening to her nonsense any more, I closed my eyes, knowing Zayn will come. He will.

Oh this was a sad chapter :( Sorry guys...
