BETRAYAL?

{ZOEY'S POV}

Ugh.

Zoey groaned as she tried to open her heavy lids, her vision was hazy and blurry so she had to blink a few times before she could see clearly.

Where am I?

She was in a darkroom and could barely see a thing.

What?

She stood up in panic as soon as her memories refreshed and all the images and scenes of those vampires flushed in.

She blindly tried to survey her surroundings and saw that she was in a cell room, a tall cell room at that judging from the height of the metal door.

There was little light coming from the metal bars ontop of the door that made her see atleast herself but she couldn't make a clear sight of the ceiling.

Huh?

Reality dawned on her.

She took a step back in fear and anxiety, had she been abducted by vampires?

She quickly ran to the door and tried to push it whether it would open but it didn't budge she then started banging the door and yelling at the same time "hey! Who's there!? Let me out!? Hey! Heyyyy!" she was screaming while repeatedly hitting the door with her palms.

"hey! You have the wrong person! Hey! Who's there!? Anyone! Let me out of here!" she yelled to no answer.

She was now desperate and anxious and continued to scream and wail but there was no answer. She soon got tired and slid down the metal door, sitting on her butt.

Where am I?

What did those vampires do to me?

What do they want?

Will I be assaulted?

Am I already someone's food?

Is this place like a storage for food?

Different thoughts went through her head and her face went pale, she felt like she had swallowed a metal ball too big for her throat.

She balled her fists in desperation and stood up, she continued the banging and yelling.

"Please! Let me out! You've got the wrong person I promise! Hey! Anyone there!? Ahhhhhh!" tears were already dropping from her eyes.

"Please!" her voice was already breaking and it was evident that she was crying.

Unexpectedly, the door made a loud unlocking sound and was pulled open.

A tall vampire with a toothpick in his mouth came into view.

"you are making a lot of noise, disturbing the peace of the environment " he said with a visible frown as he eyed the average heightened girl in front of him.

Zoey took a step back on seeing the vampire, all that vigour from before was gone and was now replaced with fear and anxiety plus sweaty palms.

The man laughed heartily and said "Weren't you yelling a few seconds ago? Why so quiet now?" he asked, laughing.

"L-let me go" Zoey mustered up courage and managed to say.

The man put his hands up as if he was surrendering "Nothing's holding you back" he grinned.

Zoey frowned and said "y-you have the wrong person,"

"You are very funny. What makes you think you aren't the one we want? Huh?" the man asked with a bemused expression.

"I haven't done anything to warrant this and it is against the law" Zoey said, summoning more courage.

The man laughed for a few seconds but he stopped and his face went sober "get out " he said.

Zoey eyes widened in confusion and a little bit of shock.

Was he letting her go? Did they already get what they wanted while she was unconscious?

Zoey didn't dare asked this as she carefully took some steps forward, her eyes not leaving the man.

She was trying to leave but the man stood firmly in her way, not budging from that spot "let me through " Zoey said, looking at him.

She instinctively took a step back in fear of the man in front of her, he had a wide grin on his face as if he was watching some sort of clown show.

"hhahahahaha she really thought I would let her go" he said with a chortle.

He moved closer to her and took a firm grip of her hand, he forcefully pulled her out of the cell since Zoey was trying to struggle and release her hand from his grip.

She used her other hand to try and loosen the grip, and also put all her weight to drawing him back, opposing the direction of his motion.

The man gritted his teeth in annoyance and applied more force, Zoey was caught off guard with the force so she fell flat on her butt.

"Ah you bastard! Let me go!" she hissed, still trying to release herself.

He ignored her and continued dragging her until they got to the front of a brown door.

"Come in" the vampire didn't even knock but a voice already said from inside.

Zoey's heart dropped into her stomach.

Was that her predator?

"arghhahahhah!!" she yelled and tried to kick the man but the man punched her face in annoyance.

Ugh

Zoey's head hung back from the punch, she silently cried as she was already tired and her throat was sore and now she had a throbbing cheek.

The man dragged her into the room.

"Leave us" the one sitting on an office table said and the other bowed and left.

Zoey looked at the scar-eyed man sitting in front of her blankly.

"Hello Zoey " the man said with a smile as he stood up.

Zoey's eyes widened and she paid more attention to the man.

He knew her name! She didn't tell anyone here her name! How!?

"Let me go please? What do you want with me? Who are you?" Zoey pleaded.

"Who I am doesn't matter" he chuckled and stood up from his chair, he walked towards Zoey who was sat on the floor and squatted in front of her, he used his index and thumb fingers to grab her chin up, he turned her face sideways as if he was checking something.

"Beautiful, nice hair, nice lips, smooth skin..." he was listing whilst looking at her.

His eyes then travelled lower down her body.

Zoey suddenly felt naked and her hands subconsciously went over her chest as her lips quivered in fear.

The man chuckled at this behavior and stood up, he put his hands in his pocket and turned around, backing Zoey.

"Xavier sure has a good eye for the pretty ones" The man said with an evil smirk.

Zoey didn't see this smirk infact she stopped listening after she heard that name.

"What? W-what do you mean?" Zoey stuttered as she slowly stood up, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Oh, did I stutter? The person that planned your abduction was Xavier," the man turned around and said with a poker face.

"No, no it's not possible, maybe it's another Xavier. H-he cannot! No! No!" Zoey stumbled back as tears dropped from her eyes.

The man burst into a full fledged chortle and said "Oh, you thought you had a tall and handsome vampire boyfriend? That's just his job Zoey, Xavier and some others, that's what they do for a living, tricking young human girls into love and then bringing them here."

"Did you think you were special? You just happened to be one of his victims " the man further said, adding salt to the wound.

Zoey stood in shock, her lips quivering, her eyes looking blankly at the man, tears dripping from her eyes, flashcards of Xavier and herself going through her head, images of her worried grandmother searching for her flashed through her head and then she remembered her grandmother's warning on that one day.

She fell on her knees with an emotionless face "I- Xa-vier, h-he was the one who planned my abduction with these vampires?" Zoey asked herself, she soon burst into a round of bitter laughter and said "I am such a fool".

"Now now, do not degrade yourself, it's not your fault, it's just his charm, it's a special attribute, it was inevitable " the man tried to cheer her up?

"Too bad for you Zoey, you're already here, there's no going back" he said with a bitter smile.

He cuffed her hands and called someone on the telephone.
