(This chapter gets weird and makes little to no sense but stick with it. I'm weird with the ways I write and how physics work. anyways I hope you at least enjoy it a little bit. Zara fanart from my Friend Shelby.)

Zara's Pov

My Heart stopped, Lungs stopped allowing air, Brain gave out, Eyes blurred. Nothing was working anymore. My head fell downwards so I was staring at the floor. Soon, the only thought that was running across my mind was;

Laurent betrayed me

"He wouldn't do that. Never!" I yelled trying to not show that I had given up all hope on trust. Kurt Cackled and then had to stop because he started coughing.

"Oh, but he did," he said, he started coughing again. he turned around and pulled something out of his pocket. I heard him wheezing and then suddenly a woosh of air. It was an inhaler. I was able to quickly make out what happened.

He was sick

I tried again to get out of the ropes that bound me to the chair but an aching pain spread through my head and the stinging continued in my wrists and ankles. Suddenly a man with a mask on, with the number 435 came into the room with a metal table. I couldn't see anything that was on the table but I heard a lot of clinking noises.

Kurt put the inhaler in his pocket and nodded and the man grabbed a syringe off the table filled with a gray liquid. 

"what is that?" I asked quickly. My heart picked up its pace. 

"Oh, it's a special formula we have made. It had some pretty bad side effects on other people, but I think it will work on you. You are pretty strong." Kurt said smirking. 

The man started approaching me with the Syringe. I struggled harder trying to get out of the ropes. 

"what are the side effects?" I asked. He sent an evil smirk my way which made a shiver run down my spine. 

The man then shoved the syringe into my stomach. He pushed the liquid into my stomach and soon the pain got so intense I blacked out. 

~time skip~

My stomach had a burning pain spreading through it and my head was still sore. I felt that I was being carried. Someone's arm was behind my back and another under my knees holding me up. 

"I got you." I heard someone say. I recognized the voice but I couldn't figure out who exactly it was. Soon the stinging went away and all that was left was the light throbbing pain in my wrists and ankles.

After a long while of being carried, I felt a comforter under me and a blanket being pulled over me. A hand grabbed mine and held it. 

"It'll be okay. I promise," they said. I still couldn't figure out who this person was. They sounded too familiar. 

My eyes opened slowly. Everything was a blur at first, but soon I could see. I looked at who was holding my hand. Erik.

"what happened?" I said Hoarsely. Erik - whose head was down at the time - looked at me shocked. 

"h-how are you awake?" Erik asked. I shrugged but hissed in pain once my stomach had a small spasm. My grip on Erik's hand tightened. The spasm stopped as soon as it came.

"you alright?" he asked. He looked at me concerned. 

"peachy," I said. "how did you get me out of there?" 

"I work with the German government, and for some reason, they want you alive so they sent me there with a few troops. When we found you we only took out 3 people. They are at Germany's government office being interrogated." Erik said. 

"and Laurent?" I asked. I honestly didn't want to know, but even though he betrayed me he had to have a good reason. that crying wasn't for nothing. 

"I have no idea. After I woke up, both you and Laurent were gone," he said. I ignored the pain that shot through me when I sat up and attempted to stand up. My legs stopped working and I fell but Erik caught me easily. "what are you doing?" 

"We need to find him," I said. I tried to move but I couldn't due to the pain. When I couldn't get up I gave up and fell to the ground and sighed. "he had to have left a hint or something." 

Erik looked around for a second. He let go of me and ran to the kitchen area. He grabbed a note and read it real fast, then he handed it to me.

Dear Zara,

 I know that you think I betrayed you, but I didn't want to. When I broke down, it was because my father - more commonly known as Kurt - threatened that if I didn't turn you in he'd kill both Erik and me. I know it sounds stupid. RIsking your life for Erik and my life, but I panicked and didn't know what to do. After I brought you there I ran away. Far away. You probably won't see me again. At least not for a long while. I just wanted to let you know one thing,

I love you and goodbye.

PS. take care of Erik for me. Even though I hate his guts.

                   Love, 

                    Laurent. 

(No this is not the end of the book. like I would end a book like this. You are wondering what the side effects of the serum are, aren't you? Well, if you know my style of writing you'll be able to catch it real fast. Thanks for reading!)
