Sweet Revenge

Chapter: 8

There was one single sword hanging on the wall, but a few smaller swords on a stand in the corner. Every place holder was filled, except a small one on the small wooden desk. There was a board with a lot of pins and string connecting faces. And in the middle was her moms face. A black suit hung on the wall beside the sword. It looked like what a ninja suit would look like. But that would mean...

Backing away as quick as possible, Zoe tripped over something and fell. She made a loud sound as she fell. This caused Dante to notice her there, and he hurry to help her up. He reached down and picked Zoe up off the floor and said.

" Zoe are you okay?"

" Hell no I'm not!" Zoe shouted and pulled away from his embrace.

" Dante how could you?" Anger raged inside her.

" Zoe... I couldn't put you in danger. You weren't suspose to see that."

Zoe gazed down. " I don't know who to trust anymore..."

She took one last glance at Dante, then left his house. Zoe walked the mile back to her house, and unlocked the door and went straight to her room. Before she opened it, she heard noises inside and stopped to listen. It sounded like someone was in there, but now only Zoe lived here. Who could it be. Zoe slowly turned the knob, and opened the door.

" Zoe!" Drake turned and walked to her.

Zoe started to cry, she hated that she seemed to be crying a lot lately. The worse part about it was that it was always in front of the guys she liked. Crying had to be sooo unattractive, but yet no matter what she did she cried her eyes out in front of them.

" Zoe what's wrong?" Drake asked, and lead her to the bed to sit down.

" You were right, Dante has been lying to me." Zoe sobbed.

" Oh, Zoe. I'm so sorry, I just thought it was best if you knew the truth."

" I don't know who I can trust anymore..."

Drake reached over and wiped away the tears on her face. He moved closer to her, and held her hand. Looking into Zoes eyes, Drake pulled her closer into a hug.

" You can trust me, I'll never lie to you." Drake said softly.

" Will you tell me everything? Please I have to know what's going on."

" Tomorrow, you've had a long day. You need sleep, come on." Drake pulled away and laid on her bed. He patted the spot next to him, wanting her to lay with him. His blue eyes were soft. Zoe laid on the bed next to him, facing him.

" W-will you stay..." Zoe didn't want to be alone.

" Of course. I'll stay as long as you want me to." Drake said with a smile.

Zoe smiled and shut her eyes, she was really tired. In a few seconds she was sound asleep.

Zoe woke with a start she was having a bad dream. She sat up and images flashes through her mind. In it, Dante had killed her mom, and he was planning on killing Zoe next. She was sweating, and disoriented. Her heart was pounding. Zoe glanced around frantically, trying figure out where she was. It was dark, and the only light was from the moonlight coming in through the window. Zoe breathed a sigh of relief, she was still in her room. She glanced at Drake, he was asleep. He looked cute, and had a small smile on his face.

" Well at least he's having a good dream." Zoe mumbled.

" Mmm... Zoe?" Drake barely opened his eyes

" Oh sorry, didn't mean to wake you." Zoe said quietly.

" There you are." Drake mumbled.

Suddenly Drake grabbed her arm, and pulled her back down and closer to him.

" Drake!" Zoe said startled.

Lying in bed, held tightly in his embrace, Zoes heart began to race.

" I love you." Drake said.
