[DISCONTINUED] Protector (Zane X Reader) Book 2

Chapter 2

A/N: (Y/H) - Your Height

Your P.O.V

We arrived at a cave, confirming my theory of where he chose to hide out.

"So what have you figured out so far regarding the weird glowing thingy." I asked, and he growled. He must still be mad about the spitting thing.

"Geez, don't get your panties in a twist. It was just a joke." I replied before stepping inside, nearly pissing myself as I caught sight of a blonde girl silently reading.

"Holy mother of- Zane who is this?!" I asked in shock, scaring the girl as she whipped her head around.

Then, she started trembling. "S-Stay away from me!"

That was when I realized she wasn't a helper. Well, at least a helper with consent to help.

"Zane." I started. He replied with a small 'hm'. "I may just be jumping to conclusions, but please tell me you didn't kidnap this girl." I replied, noticing how scared she seemed of both of us and how tired and dirty she appeared.

"Of course I did."

"Zane!" I exclaimed and whipped around to face him. "You can't just kidnap people and not tell me!"

He only rolled his eye. "It doesn't matter at all. You're a shadow knight, your job is to murder and kidnap people. Why are you so surprised?"

This made me let out an exasperated but annoyed sigh. "Zane, I already told you. I'm not a mindless killer. I don't feel comfortable with this." I said as I motioned towards her.

He only whipped out his sword and placed it on my neck.

"Do we have an issue? Cause I think I know a surefire way on how to end it." I stayed silent at his words.

But in the end, I sighed before pressing my finger to the point of his blade and pushing it away from me.

"I won't say anything else, but I just want you to remember that I'm not just some squirmy librarian. I can wield a weapon too, so keep that in mind next time you threaten me with a sword." I said before walking to the side of the cave and leaning up against the wall.

Zane only watched me, lost in thought before turning to the blonde girl. This made her yelp at the sudden attention.

"Have you found anything useful?" He asked her, and she gulped before a new air of confidence surrounded her.

"No. I haven't. Probably because you won't let me sleep! I need sleep to function!" She exclaimed, and I had to bite back a laugh.

This guy doesn't even know how to kidnap properly.

But he only growled in response. "Well, if you could find any information, then maybe I'd consider it! But you haven't found anything, have you?" He asked, and her face turned red from anger and embarrassment.

"You try searching for information on something you've never even heard of! You don't even know the name of it!" She yelled, and the two went into an argument, him throwing insults and her throwing facts.

"If you'd stop being so dumb maybe I'd actually learn something but no! Zane Ro'meave doesn't sleep so why should anyone else sleep! That's right, I've seen you stay up all night you nocturnal animal!" I snorted at her comment.

"Listen here you dumb blonde! I'm the one holding the sword, so if you keep spouting things like that I'll personally slit your throat!" She scoffed at this.
