( Zara fanart from my Friend Sarah )

Zara's pov a week later

My knee was better now. I was able to walk without limping too much. Problem was, Laurent and Erik were not getting along well. I'd go away for about 5 minutes and then I would turn around to look and BAM! they're glaring daggers at each other. Finally, they stopped once I yelled at them. 

"what is up with you two!? Ever since I came back, both of you have been at each other's throats!" I yelled. Both of them looked at me and then looked at the floor in shame. If I were their mother, they'd both be put in a timeout. 

Suddenly Laurent's earpiece is ringing again. he answers it. All 3 of us already know exactly who it is. Kurt. Laurent's eyes widened and his eyes started watering. his eyes glanced over my figure before a few tears fell out of his eyes. I walked up to him and I tried to get him to hang up but he shook his head. 

"why?" he choked out. Erik was just as confused as I was. Suddenly Laurent looked down and started sobbing and he collapsed to his knees. Erik and I managed to catch him before he fully collapsed to the floor. I held his head in my lap as he sobbed. I pushed the hang-up button on his earpiece. 

"what was that about?" I asked. He shook his head. 

"no no no," he whispered. What was going on? he was never like this. "I can't do it." he said.

Erik, Laurent, and I were slurping our soup. Erik suddenly dropped his bowl and passed out on the couch. I looked at him confused. Laurent put his hand on Erik's head. 

"he's got a fever. I'll take him to the couch." Laurent said. He picked Erik up and I watched him disappear. 

Soon after I finished my soup I was exhausted. I didn't even do much today besides a little training and calming Laurent down after his break down. I was still questioning what happened. What did Kurt say to him? not to mention Erik's sudden fever. What was next? Me getting kidnapped again? I wouldn't be surprised. I set my bowl down and tried to stand up.

 My legs gave out on me and I collapsed to the ground. I grabbed onto the Chair to try and hoist myself up thinking that perhaps I just slipped on Erik's soup. I managed to stand up for about 2 seconds before my legs gave out yet again and I fell to the floor. I tried to lean up but now my arms wouldn't move. 

My vision was slowly becoming blurry as I saw a figure walking towards me. I tried to call for Laurent but no muscle of mine was listening to what I was telling it to do. I felt a liquid drop on my head. multiple Drops started falling on my head. Last time I checked, it wasn't raining. Before I could figure out what was happening my vision went entirely black.

I woke up to a serious headache. I groaned in pain as my eyes opened. 

"ah, so you're finally awake huh?" I heard a very familiar voice say. My eyes filled with fear as I struggled to get free. the Ropes that bound me to the chair cut my wrists and ankles. 

"tsk tsk. no amount of struggling is going to get you loose from those ropes." Kurt said. 

"how did I get here?" I asked. Kurt burst out laughing.

"Karma hit you so bad!" he laughed. I growled. 

"JUST TELL ME BEFORE I CUT YOUR FREAKING HEAD OFF!" I screamed. Kurt looked at me with a smirk that sent shivers down my spine.

"why, My son Laurent of course!"

(CLIFFHANGER!!!! also, after this book is done-which probably won't be too long from now-do you guys want a sequel?)
