Sweet Revenge

Chapter: 5

Drake kissed her on the other side of her neck. " Mmm you smell so good Zoe, what is it? Vanilla?" He asked. " Yes, but-" She pulled away from him. " I want to know what's going on, No I demand to know!" Drake smile, and let out a small chuckle. " What??" Zoe said frustrated. " Your so cute when your bossy." He bit his bottom lip. " I want answers, How long have I been here? Where is here? How did you find me? Why are there so many weapons? Are they yours?" Question after question poured out of Zoe. Drake glanced around at all the weapons scattered among the room. " Hm I guess I do have alot." He mumbled. " That's not an anwser." Zoe yelled. She was getting mad at him. " You asked alot of questions at once, ask them one at a time then maybe just maybe I'll anwser them. And I'll only anwser three of them." She thought for a moment before speaking. " How did you find me?" There was a long pause. Drake looked like he didn't want to tell her. " I was... on a job.." Seeming sastifised with the anwser he gave, Drake smiled. " Job...?" Zoe said confused. " Is that another question?" Drake asked, raising his eyebrow. " No, how long have I been here?" She asked him. " Three days." He said calmly. " WHAT??? THREE DAYS??" Zoe yelled, bewildered. " Yes, now next and last question?" " Woah woah wait, I need more questions now!" Zoe demanded. Drake stared at Zoe, his blue eyes looked sad. " No, I can't tell you much. I'm sorry Zoe, I really am." Drake sighed. " Why are there so many weapons?" Zoe asked, and gustered to the whole room. " They're mine, and I use them."

"... You use them? On what... People...?" Zoe said, her voice was shallow and barely came out at all. " ...Yes..." Drake anwsered, and looked away. Zoe gasped, and covered her mouth with her shaking hands. She started to back away from him. Drake looked up, eyes full of pain. " Zoe..." He said, and reached towards her. Zoe turned to run, but Drake stopped her. He pulled her to him, and embraced her with his big arms. " Zoe wait... let me explain." He said softly, his head resting on her head. Zoe tried desperately to pull away, but he was to strong for her. " Let me go." Zoes said, frightened. " It's not what you think..." Drake said. " Your a killer." Zoe replied. He let her go. " No, it's not like that, trust me." His eyes were soft. " Dante told me to stay away from you... now I know why." At the mentioned of Dantes name, Drake became mad. " Don't listen to him, he's worse then me." Drake said through his clenched teeth. " What? No no no, Dantes good, he's my best friend. I-I..." Zoe stopped before she said it. Drakes eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. " No, you didn't. No no Zoe he's bad for you. Please don't." He reached to touch her, and Zoe smacked his hand away. " Don't talk about him that way, you don't have the right too." Zoe was now mad, really mad. She hated when someone talked bad about Dante. Drake glared at her, and he started to move towards her. " No, stay away from me." Zoe said as she once again grabbed the blade she had before. Drake has mistakenly put it down. She held it up to him. " Don't come any closer." She warned. " Zoe... put it down." He said and took another step forward. Zoe turned and ran out of the building.

It was night time, and Zoe didn't really know where she was. So she began to run faster. She ran farther and farther down the street, untill she say light up ahead. " Thank god." She breathed as she reached a gas station. Out of breath from running, she went inside. " Geez..." She said as she looked around. The place was worn down, and dirty. The cashier was reading a magazine and picking his teeth with a tooth pick. His dirty black mountain boots were up on the counter, and a small pile of dirt could be seen around them. His uniform was black and green, and was wrinkled. He had a brown mustache, and brown hair under a plain blue baseball cap. The shevels in the store were hardly stocked, and the produce was old and rotten. " Eww." Zoe said to herself. Zoe turned to the cashier again. " Umm hello mister?" He contuined to read the magazine, and ignor Zoe. " Hello mister?" Zoe said louder. " I'll be with you in a minute, hold your horses." He said not looking at her. Zoe took the time to gett a better look at him. He had a name tag, and on it was imprinted: Carl. He had some food stuck in his mustache, but didn't seem to bother him. He was skinny, and had long legs and arms. Both were very hairy. " Alright what is it?" Carl asked putting down the magazine and looking at Zoe. " Oh um Hi. I'm lost and was wondering if there was a phone I could use." Zoe said as she rocked back and fourth on her feet. She was nervous, she didn't want Drake coming and finding her here. " Why do you have that?" Carl asked, and pointed to the Guardian Blade. " Oh" She said, and quickly hid it behind her back. " It's a Guardian Blade, it was a gift from a friend. So if I ever ran into trouble, I could protect myself." Zoe lied. " Your not here to rob us are you? Cause we don't have much to steal." He eyed her suspiciously. " No, no. Just want to use a phone. " You can use mine..." He said and handed the phone that was next to cash register to Zoe. " Thanks." Zoe said with a smile.

" Zoe?? What the fuck? Where the fuck have you been?? I've been so worried about you. You have been gone for three days. Where are you? I'll come get you." Zoe called Dante, he was the only person she trusted at the time. " Hi to you too." Zoe said with a giggle, it was nice to hear his voice. " Zoe... it's not the time for games, where are you?" " Umm I'm not sure, one moment." Zoe replied, and turned to the cashier. " Excuse me, where are we?" " 2970 BanBurry Rode." He said, not looking away from his magazine. Zoe was susprised. " Hey, yeah um I'm at 2970 BanBurry Rode..." Zoe said, she knew it was far away. " What the hell are you doing there? Do you know how far away that is? It's almost seventy miles." Dante seemed mad. " I know... Dante..." Zoe replied. " Yeah?" Dante said. " Will you come as soon as you can...?" Zoe didn't want to be there any longer then she had to. " " Of course I will...I'll get ready to go now." Dante said, he seemed to relax now. " Zoe...." Dante said. " Yes Dante?" There was a long pause, and Zoe was starting to wonder if he hung up when he finally spoke. " Nothing, I'm heading out now, wait for me." He seemed far away. " Always." Zoe replied.
