Last day of freedom

I think this video and song describe Zoey to the letter. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.


I mumbled some insults to the alarm as it dares to wake me up. I asked Marcus last night to be the one that wakes me up. I had never had a cellphone before and Marcus gave me one with the excuse of communication. He was the first guy I accepted a gift from... Of course, the stupid phone came with a set of rules...

 This was my fucking point and the reason I didn't want to be with the Slayers. Everything was rules, rules, rules... Marcus said absolutely no, but I gave him a look that said I was serious. He returned the look that said he too was serious. 

I set up my alarm to 10 am because if I didn't have an annoying thing waking me up I would sleep like the dead. Our plan was set in motion... If Nathan were to ask where I was I would tell him the Slayers took me against my will trying to recruit me, but I escape...

Marcus said it was safer that way. I slide my legs out of the bed and picked the phone Marcus gave me, with a small smile on my face. No tex, no call. Just like he said. I glared at the phone. Why was I the one that put more effort into things? For once it would be nice to be wanted.

"I guess you wanted to sleep in today?" His reply came instantly.

"What took you so long?! I have been waiting for your text for hours!" I looked at the clock. It was 10 am. I did tell him to text!

"You could have text in the morning to wake me up."

"I wish... you know the rules." I pouted glad he couldn't see how pathetic I was being. I have been alone for a long time and I grew attached to Marcus in the three months we spend together, but he was always so right he wouldn't break the fucking rules, even for me. I needed him to put me first instead of the Slayers.

"You could have text. The bloodsucker won't waste a morning coming to see me."

"Well, that's good..."  I smiled at his response. Marcus was really jealous of Nathan he kept telling me, I was going to confuse the lust I fell for him for love. I scoff...  As if... Another text came when I didn't reply him fast.

"But you know the rules Zo... Safety first. We can't risk him finding out you know everything." I glared at the text. I hated when he talked like this. He wanted to be with me but he was so strict about following the rules.

"He would never be in my house this early even if he has been looking for me he doesn't give a fuck. He would spend time with his vampire first." Ugh!  I regretted sending that text after I hit send, I sounded too jealous...  Let's face it... I was jealous.

"You text first. Rules are rules." Ugh! Your infuriating son of a bitch!

"FINE! Bye. I have lots to do. Good luck waiting patiently tomorrow for my text!" I shut off the phone and hid it under my mattress angrily. I went to my bathroom feeling like a small kid but I didn't give a damn.

I took a really long cold shower so I could cool the fuck down. Marcus and I were like the yin-yang. I was reckless and went with the flow. Marcus was strict and always followed the rules. I hated that about him, it was so like Nathan...

That was one reason why he always watched me from far away never talking to me. He develops a crush on me, but never acted on it, even when I tried to seduce him at the compound he never budge. He showed me one day of weakness and I threw it at his face making him tougher about having sex with me. Marcus said we could make love and the words made me cringed. I wanted sex, he wanted love. Ugh!

I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around my body and walked to my bedroom staring at the bed feeling guilty. I miss Marcus... Whenever I acted immaturely and believe me I acted like a child often towards Marcus... He would just run after me and melt my anger like chocolate melts in your mouth.

Marcus' mouth... I stared at the bed and I could see the cell phone staring right back at me telling me to stop being such a bitch and apologize. Being a bitch towards Marcus would make him realize how broken I truly was... I might lose him...  I have never before had someone in my life I cared about...

The cold shower took away my anger and I started to think clearly.  Marcus did not deserve the way I was treating him after he helped me clear my head... I took a deep breath and started walking towards the bed about to pick up the phone and text an apology to him, maybe even call him.  I should show him a caring Zoey from time to time...

I almost reached my bed when a voice stopped me in my tracks.

"FINALLY!" I jumped startled and turned towards the voice, but my heart started to beat fast against my chest, but I could control my hormones. I was not expecting Nathan to show up this fast or come looking for me in my own home...

"Who are you?" He smirks and leaned against the door frame enjoying my fake ignorance.

"Who am I is not important. What is important is that I know what happens to your parents." I frown and glared at him at the same time. This was new, he never talks about my parents unless he was asking about them to open the fucking wound. He was breaking protocol.

Talking about Deja Vu..."If you want to know what happened to your parents. You should come with me." He extended his hands towards me with one of his fake's smile. 

I stared at his extended hand for a long moment. Last time he told me this exact sentence I went willingly. I didn't even question him. I was so stupid and naive and to be honest lucky that my so-called father was the king of the vampires. I shouldn't be so trusting and so full of my self... I was sure this repeat of our first meeting was not a good sign...

"That's the last thing I want to do! I mean... How stupid do you actually think I am?" He shot his eyebrow's up in surprise. Apparently, he thought I was pretty stupid. Which by the way. Ouch!

"I thought the whole reason for you're little killing spree was to find whoever killed your parents."

"It was... and still is," I said carefully.

"Then what's wrong?" He asks with such a fake ignorance that I threw up a little bit on my mouth.

"A lot!" I snap at him. "First you are a vampire. What gives me the guarantee you're not taking me into a trap?"

"Because I'm not." There it was... His fake smile again, the one he use when he was tricking me. He was lying to me... I don't think the asshole was going to kill me but something changed in his plan to make me fall in love while being free. Under no circumstance, I could go with him.

Marcus made me swear I was going to keep the pretense and not let this asshole know I knew everything. BUT we never plan for the bloodsucker, to change plans on us. I needed to be ahead of the game.  I need to let this asshole know I knew everything it wasn't in his best interest to take me to the same house John lived.

"What are you doing Nathan? This is not part of your usual script." He stood up straight and stared at me with an open mouth and face that scream disbelieve. I smiled feeling proud of myself. It was nice to have the upper hand for once and make him be the one that looks stupid.

"You know me?" He whispered.

"You can cut the act," I told him annoyed. "You have been drinking my fucking blood and erasing me. I'm half vampire. What the fuck do you think was going to happen? You were slowly and stupidly turning me into a fucking vampire!" I was breathing hard and was telling him all of this almost yelling.

"Well, I wasn't completely lying I do like you." I pursed my lips and put my hands into a fist the nails digging into my palm.

"As of what? A fucking snack?" He smiled really amused.

"That's part of it. But I can honestly say your different-"

"STOP! DON'T! Cut the fucking crap. What about the slut that you're in love with." I spat. His smile died on his lips and he glared at me. I crossed my arms satisfied that he was the one angry now.

"Don't ever talk about her."

"I don't need to talk about that BITCH. Thanks to your stupidity I have your stupid memory. Now I have more than I bargained for with you! She's John's slave. Yet she's fucking you and him at the same time. That makes her a slut in my book." 

Nathan was in front of me in an instant hand raise about to slap me but he held his hand in the air while glaring down at me. I must admit I was talking out of pure jealousy. Who was I to talk? I was a slut too. I was actually worse than Aurora.

 I slept with whoever I pleased no string's attached. "The spell you put me under broke. Thanks to the Slayers I remember who I am first and that's a hunter. I will NEVER agree to marry you."

He growled at me and pushed me on to the bed making the towel fall off my body and my feet dangled in the air. He pinned my hands to the bed. His fist closed around my wrist hard, and I knew bruises would be there soon.

"I can't erase your mind. You're right about calling me stupid." He leaned down and bit my neck hard and rough. I scream and trashed against his hold. He did not budge. He stopped a little bit and bit down on his wrist making blood flow. My eyes widened in horror.

What he was doing looked scarily like the process of turning me into a fucking vampire. He wouldn't kill me, would he? He still needs me, as a human!  I guess this was the reason Marcus wanted me to play stupid. "STOP!" He growled at me, making me stop in my tracks for a moment. "I am not turning you into a vampire. That's out of the question now. You know everything... You will never be a vampire."

I stared into his green eyes letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding. "You are making that sound like that's a bad thing," I said relieved.

"It is for you. It means I will accelerate my plans and kill you before I ever have to lay a hand on you." He put the wrist on me and a burning sensation invaded my body. "But I can't have you warning your father against my plans. So when you see him. You will not talk about my plans to him and every time you try, a pain like you would not imagine will invade your body as if you are dying. It will keep hurting you until you stop the nonsense of trying to tell about my plans." 

He smirks looking down at me with an angry expression. This jackass has to be the first man that was on top of another woman naked and not get aroused. "And when you see Aurora. Which let's face it you will. You will always smile at her and answer all her insults with a compliment. Your compliments should be about her beauty because she is beautiful. BUT DON'T mentions our romance, the pain would be unbearable." He licked my neck seeling up his blood inside of my body. I could feel the compulsion working already...

He got off me and stood up slowly glaring down at me. I glared right back with pure hate. "I hate you," I murmured.

"Yeah, well the feeling is mutual." He glared and got in front of me grabbing me by the arms and pulling me to him. A hand went behind my neck and he pinched a nerve. Pain invaded my whole body making me lose consciousness fast. At least not more drinking my blood to make me pass out...

The last thing I saw was Nathan picking me up bridal style in his arm before I hit the floor...

MARCUS P.O.V.

"FINE! Bye. I have a lot to do. Good luck waiting patiently tomorrow for my text!" Oh god, I have angered Zoey Lehane.

"Zoey... Don't be like that! You know why it has to be like that right? Is it safe for you? Zoey the last thing I want to do is lose you, please answer the text?"

No reply. I called her and it went straight to voicemail. She shut off her phone. I put on my leather jacket and started to leave the house. When a hand stops me.

"Where are you going?"

"To see Zoey... I upset her, and she is not answering the phone."

"Maybe she's busy-"

"She turns off the phone. You and I both know that's dangerous."

"Is it? She's a big girl and she's been handling her self for years. Your feelings for her are clouding your mind."

"No. I know what I'm doing-"

"Do you? Or you just want to make sure she's not having sex with the vampire she's in love with? You know jeopardy out the mission by walking in on her?"  He gave me a cruel smile.

"She's not," I said putting my hands into a fist.

"Yeah, because Zoey is so strong against a vampire's saliva." He said sarcastically. "I'm sure all that strength won't be nothing when the bloodsucker is fucking her-" I punch him in the face making him fall to the floor.

"Zoey is not like us! She's strong, stronger than you and me together." I step over matt and walked to my bedroom infuriated. He had a small point of thought. I just wanted to verified she was following the plan and not having sex with the vampire. If I went and she was alone I would leave my scent jeopardized our mission. Her last text haunted me for the rest of the day.

...Good luck waiting patiently for my next test." She would not text me back for a few days knowing the stubborn girl... But maybe once she turns on her phone, she'll see my text and cut me some slack... God, I hope so, not talking to that girl would drive me mad. Eventually, I would go to her house to show her how much faith I have in her...
