The Strange One ↠ Z.M

chapter 8

I was petrified. I stood there, my throat swelled up. If I ran, Zayn would sure catch me in no time. If I tried to hurt him it wouldn't work. I was screwed. There was nothing I could do to try and save myself.

"Please..." I softly whispered. "Please don't hurt me"

Zayn smirked, practically mocking me. "Hurt you? Oh Violet" he snickered. He started to circle me like I was his prey, and he was ready to pounce at any second. "If I wanted to hurt you I would've done it already" He's told me that before. I can hardly believe that. "The thing you should worry about is what would happen to you if you told people my secret"

Zayn was standing before me now, our eyes locked. He slowly reached out, grabbing my hand and rubbing his thumb over my knuckle. I jerked my hand back, Zayn looked enraged but he didn't act on his feelings.

"Leave. Please, if you don't want to hurt me you'll leave right now and never talk to me again" I told him.

Zayn looked hurt I wasn't sure why, he brought this on himself when he came here this afternoon, "don't do this, Violet."

I sighed, "Just leave"

Zayn nodded, finally understanding that I can't be around him. He walked towards the front door, switching the lock to unlock it.

"Just remember, Violet. If you tell someone my secret I will come after you, don't think you can hide from me. I will find you"

Those words sent chills down my body. I stood still as he opened the door and left.

I ran a hand throw my hair, slowly my breathing gradually got faster. I was hyperventilating. Thinking about what could happen to me if I did something that made Zayn mad, I was afraid what he would do.

Anna called me tonight, she was crying. I didn't know what to do because I'm not really the best at comforting people, especially over the phone.

She apologized for everything. Including Elena's behavior. I forgave her and Marie, but if Elena wanted me to forgive her she would have to come and apologize herself.

I was alone for most of the night, I had no clue where my parents where, but honestly I didn't care. I was worried about myself. But I also had a question.

How did Niall know Zayn was a vampire?

Niall knew just by looking at him.

I had the question raging in my head all night, I was so confused yet terrified at everything going on. I couldn't really trust anyone right now, I was all alone.

At around 2:30am I couldn't stand the voices in my head. I was laying in bed since around 10 but couldn't fall asleep, the things I thought about were terrifying. The thoughts were gory, disgusting, violating, everything horrible went into my thoughts.

I decided to call Niall, not only to ask questions but to see how he was doing, he did faint after all.

I didn't have his number programmed into my phone so I asked around, texting people who I thought might have it. Finally, after texting about nine people I got Niall's number. I quickly called him, hoping he would answer.

It rang.

It kept ringing.

It didn't stop ringing.

Then it went to voicemail.

"Hey this is Niall, I couldn't come to the phone right now so leave your name and number and I'll call you back" I listened intently to Niall's recording though it gave me no answers.

Why would it? It's just a voicemail? I thought.

The phone beeped and that was my signal to leave a message. I cleared my throat, "Hey Niall, it Violet. I needed to ask you something...it's kind of urgent, so if you could call me back as soon as possible that'd be great. Okay, bye"

I hung up, setting the phone down in my lap. I was exhausted. My parents were still jot home, Niall wasn't answering his phone, and whatever or wherever Zayn is, is a mystery.

I sulked out of bed, making my way downstairs to the kitchen. I flicked the lights witch up and the lights flickered on. I opened up a drawer and pulled out a tea back, reached up and got a coffee mug off the hook, and put some hot water in a kettle on the stove. Usually I would just put some hot water in the microwave but since it's hot like I'm sleeping much tonight, I have a lot of time.

As I searched for a snack the kettle softly screeched, getting closer to the boiling point. I opened up the freezer, hoping to find something. But as I opened up the freezer door I noticed a note that resided under a magnate.

I took the liberty of taking the note off the fridge to read it, it could've been from my parents. My eyes scanned the note and the kettle started to screech louder.

' Hello Violet,

If you'd like to see your parents again I suggest you do as I say.
