Sparks of The End

Chapter 12

Zoey P.O.V.

  "Wow..." Ender stretched out the 'o' of the word as he grabbed a chair from the nearest desk and pulled it over so he could sit on it backwards, facing Zoey. Zoey exchanged glances with Lomadia, who had a sword pointed at Honeydew and a gun at Xephos' head. Minty had her own sword pointed at Sjin, Sips' weapon kicked to the other side of the room so he was defenseless. Nilesy and Panda we're off to the side, Zoey could see Keayi keeping an eye on then as she pointed a lasergun at an explosive in the middle of Martyn, Toby, and Strippin's sleeping circle that she had retreated a little ways away from so if she blew it they would get hurt, fall through the ground, but not die.

   Zoey pulled her own sword from her belt and pointed it at Lalna, almost forgetting her own duty. Then she realized, "Teep!" She called to the dino behind her, looking slightly surprised. "Point an arrow at Lalna, please, I'll explain later." She asked him, trying to make her eyes glassy.

   He nodded and held his bow out at the scientist. Zoey sighed and slipped her sword back into her belt and walked around Lalna to face Ender, who was watching her.  

  "Hello," She said to him cautiously. He rolled his eyes, they were a deep purple. "I'm not four, christ." Okay, she defiantly wasn't expecting him to have an attitude. "Well, at least we got that out of the way," She offered a smile. "I'm Zoey." She watched him carefully, a glitter in his eyes sparkled, he blinked and then it was gone. "Ender, but you probably already knew that." 

   She nodded, "So, what'ca doing here?" He opened his mouth to answer, but Lalna at her feet glared at him, "I think we'd all like to know that." Zoey kicked his side, not hard, enough to make him fall down. "Lalna, shut up, this isn't an interrogation." She said turning back to look up at Ender, "You were going to say?" She prompted. 

   He chuckled, "I don't know you, Red-head, but you're something." He crossed his arms around the top of the chair. Zoey could feel her cheeks flush, but she refused to acknowledge it. "I-It's Zoey," her smile widening. "Gotcha, Zoey, I'll have to remember that one." 

  He face fell slightly, remember, right she had a mission. "So Ender, what are you doing here?" She asked again, "Right, I was here on a 'mission', the guys back at the compound thought I'd have a better chance at convincing you guys to turn back." His face turned puzzled, "I don't really understand why they thought I'd have a better chance." 

  "Hmm, I don't know either, although you seem a lot friendlier." She smiled at him and his eyes lit up, she assumed he was smiling even though the bottom half of his face was covered with his mask. "Do you remember anything, like maybe any of our faces?" She asked hopefully. "Nope, I just remember waking up in the compound, and them explaining the situation to me. They said you guys were evil, you don't seem really evil. Just human." He observed, looking at Zoey in particular. 

   "And you're not?" She questioned, surprise filling her face. He laughed, "More or less, I mean, I am human. I'm just different." She nodded in understanding, a certain mage had said the same thing when she had asked him about his past. 

   "What's under the mask?" She asked pointing to her own jaw. His hand automatically shifted to the fabric. "Just some old scars really, they hurt like hell when exposed to oxygen, just made sense to cover them up. Their not much to look at either." He joked, but she could hear the hurt past his chuckles, that was something she'd learned to do. "Yeah, that makes sense." She smiled, trying not to show pity, that would aggravate him. 

   "Well Zoey, I should probably do what I came here to do." He got up and started walking over to her. "I'm surprised that you were able to organize something like this, really I am." He said gesturing to the men pinned to the floor with weapons. Her heart sped up as he came closer, his words sounding of the approval that she had heard various times before hand. 

   "Look, they don't really tell me much, but observing you all makes me want to actually warn you. Trip- I mean, Zombie Boss and Creeper Boss both want to warn you as well, we don't want unneeded human deaths. So maybe just think about turning around and going home." He suggested, but Zoey could feel as his eyes keep shifting to her face. Zoey nodded to the other girls, and they all dropped their weapons, except for Teep. 

   "I'm afraid we can't do that." Xephos said, struggling with his words. Ender sighed, Zoey watched as he came so close to her they were inches apart. Her breath quickened, and for a second she almost thought it was just her and Rythian all over again. His fingers dragged along her jaw and then tipped up her chin. His voice was loud, loud enough for the whole room to hear. 

"Then you should run." 

   Zoey fell to the ground seconds later, she wasn't sure if it was Ender's sudden disappearing, or the giant explosion that sounded on the side of the room that was empty. Everyone staggered to their feet and ran in the opposite direction of the explosion, Zoey couldn't feel her legs move. Her weight was lifted on to a scaly back which she assumed was Teeps. 

  Thankfully, the side that hadn't exploded was the side with the door, they all rushed out to safey as Enderman swarmed the building. They hid in the forest, averting their eyes from the screeching black monsters. They regained their breath, no one asked about what the girls had done. The explosio was to much to worry about. Although it had worked as a decoy. 

   Zoey could only think about the feeling of Ender's fingers on her jaw. The warmth, his deep purple eyes that could have swallowed her whole. She knew it was wrong to think about him like this, his was Ender, and he was on the other side. She sighed angrily. 

I guess that's just the story of Romeo and Juliet.

*A/N Does this make up for the month of no SoTE? Hopefully, because I'm going to try to write like mad. Also forgive me for the terrible fluffs. I suck. Enjoyed? Comment! Vote! I'm terrible at self advertisement! 

On the side is the song I listened to while writing this, the love song that I'm curretly obessed with! ^-^
