Shadows-chapter 11

Chapter 11

Gerard’s POV
Iris said we should wait for Zelda’s brother to arrive before we can do anything else. I don’t want to wait, we should look for Zelda now, and we can’t waste time. Why am I so worried about her? What’s so special about her? She is too special. For me, at least.
I was still in her room, sitting on her bed waiting for something better to happen. That’s when I heard the door close and Iris saying ‘’Thank God you are here’’. I didn’t even bother to go outside the room and check who it was, I had pretty much the idea of who I was going to see. That’s when a guy came in and asked me ‘’What are you doing here?’’ He didn’t ask who I was maybe he already knew.
‘’He is helping find your sister. Akan this is Gerard Way, Gee this is Akan, Zelda’s brother.’’ He looked so much like her, like if they were twins. The only difference was their eyes. Zelda had dark blue eyes and her brother dark green eyes, but still beautiful. I just sat there, looking at him and reminding me a lot about her. I miss her voice. He noticed the unease in my look and he turned away cussing. I looked then at Iris’’
‘’Do not mind him, he is just worried about Zelda’’ And she left too, leaving me alone again in her room. I got up and moved towards her drawer now. I opened it to try to find something that will probably tell me something. Nothing. I looked underneath her bed to find a shoebox. I grabbed it and put it on the bed. I looked at it for a long time, trying to decide if I really wanted to open something that is not mine. But no one is here with me right now. I need to open it. I did. WTF?! She had thousands of pictures of our band, but mostly of me. Is this what I this it is? No, She just broke up with her boyfriend. Lets just hope its not for Voodoo, she wouldn’t, she doesn’t. I started looking at the pictures and at the bottom of the box there was a picture of her and a guy. He must be her ex-boyfriend. There were more pictures of him and her, and I started looking at them until I heard someone coming. I closed the box quickly and put in underneath her bed again. Iris came in.
‘’C’mon, we are leaving’’ she said.
‘’Where?’’
‘’Don’t you want to find her? We are going to look for her, we may know where she can be’’ and she made her way towards the door, and I followed.
We got inside Akan’s car, a gray Volvo. Iris sat on the passenger seat. I just wanted to be in the back to think a little bit about the pictures.

Iris POV
I got out of the room because I knew Gerard wanted to be snoopy. I know he did find what he wanted to see. He’s such a great guy, but not Zelda’s style.
‘’I don’t like him. I think he shouldn’t be here’’ Akan was telling me.
‘’Well, we have no other choice’’
‘’What? Why not?!’’
‘’Because he can help us.’’ He thought I was going to say something else. I was, but I changed of mind because Akan would never drop the subject.
‘’Fine, then you go for him. I don’t care if he is so freaking famous, if he can help then that’s fine for me. I just want to find my sister, and I think I know where she is’’ I did too. But I’m too scared to face the truth.
‘’Okay, let me go tell him. Your car or mine?’’
‘’Mine’’ Men.
I gave enough time to Gerard to check the box. I knew he was going to find it, so I took a little extra time before entering the room. When I did, I found him beside the bed. He looked so depressed.
‘’C’mon, we are leaving’’ I tried to sound confident, but I’m not sure if I did.
‘’Where?’’ He asked. Maybe he is just a little bit scared of Akan.
‘’Don’t you want to find her? We are going to look for her, we may know where she can be’’ I told him and made my way towards the door, I could hear him following. I don’t like Akan’s car, besides he drives terrible. But I didn’t let him know that. I sat on the passenger seat and Gerard on the back. He never talked. As soon as I noticed where we were going I panicked.
‘’Calm down, I just want to give him a little visit’’ How can I calm down!?
‘’You think he kidnapped her, don’t you?’’ He just gave me a cold look. He does think that. I sighed.
Gerard looked at me with panicked eyes.
‘’Don’t worry, he knows what he’s doing’’ I told him and he relaxed a bit.

Akan’s POV
Iris knew what I was doing, she knows in the danger I’m going to be in, but I don’t care. I parked the care in front of his house. I know she is in there and if he doesn’t let me in-no I won’t even ask, I’m just going to get in and look for her. I got out of the car and told Iris to wait inside with the other dude. I walked over to his doorstep and knocked the door just once for him to open the door.
‘’Akan! Iris! What a surprise!’’ He said. I turned around to see Iris standing next to me. I guess she didn’t listen. I turn away and looked at him again. He put on a confusion face and I just made it clear to him why I was here. I punched him hard on the face he even fell down.
‘’Akan!’’ Iris just screamed at me.
I moved past him and made my way inside the house. He has to keep her somewhere, but where? I started looking everywhere, inside rooms, but nothing. The garage. Nothing.
‘’I’m going to come back later, so I won’t even other to knock the next time. I’m going to find her and you know that. I know it was you!’’ after telling him that, I left. Iris following me like a lost puppy. I got inside the car and she did too, and I left.

Roy’s POV
I was eating in front of Zelda and I asked over and over again if she was hungry. The first three times she said yes, then she kept quiet. I was finishing eating when I hear the door knock.
‘’Hide her in the basement’’ I told the other guys.
I opened the door to find Akan and Iris there.
‘’Akan! Iris! What a surprise!’’ I said. I guess Akan didn’t know Iris was behind him, because he turned around and gave her a dirty look. He turned around to face me and punched me on the face. Next thing I know, I’m laying on the floor and Iris sitting next to me touching my face to calm me down. I saw Akan going inside every single room. Please don’t see THE door, please! I kept saying to myself. He didn’t. Before he left he told me
‘’I’m going to come back later, so I won’t even other to knock the next time. I’m going to find her and you know that. I know it was you!’’ And he left. Iris got up and left too, closing the door behind her. I got up as well and went downstairs to the basement. She was sitting on the couch, she looked so weak now. I moved towards her and she got up and moved away, noticing what I was going to do to her. I started moving faster towards her until I reached her hand
‘’Get your hands off of me!’’ She yelled at me. I grabbed her wrist harder that she started crying.
‘’Your brother just came by, you know that right?’’
She looked at me, trying to know what happened. I just nodded and said
‘’He hit me right here’’ and pointed my jaw and then I hit her jaw too. With the punch she moved back and hit the back of her head with the wall and she fell unconscious.
‘’Tie her hands and legs to the chair again’’ I gave orders.
After she was tied up she started waking up. She looked confused since she didn’t know how she got there and then she started panicking again. I grabbed the whip and hit her stomach. She cried. I hit her again and again until my arm started felling numb.
‘’Osiris’’ I threw him the whip and he caught it, he didn’t know what to do with it and looked to me again.
‘’Take care of her for a little while, me and the rest of the guys are going for some lunch.’’ He nodded. ‘’Oh, and Osiris?’’
‘’Yes sir?’’
‘’Do not let her leave. We won’t take long’’ I laughed and the rest did too, except for Osiris. He knew well we weren’t coming back until past midnight. He nodded again and I left. Hopefully he won’t mess up.
When we were outside Asar asked me
‘’Do you really trust him Roy?’’ He was the only one who called me Roy, he was my Best Friend and he always agreed with everything I decided to do. Except this.
‘’No, I don’t. But I trust him enough for him to have some pleasures with her’’ and I started laughing and the rest laughed with me again too. Asar didn’t.
‘’Relax, I know nothing wrong will happen.’’

Osiris POV
He is such an ass. After Roy left, I went inside the bathroom and grabbed a towel. I got out of the bathroom to find Zelda still unconscious. She is so beautiful, I thought. I made my way towards her and started cleaning her wounds. Then she woke up.
‘’What are you doing?’’
‘’I’m helping you to clean this wounds, they can get infected’’
‘’Thanks you’’ I looked at her. Then I saw hope in her eyes. She was hoping to get out of here.
‘’I would get you out of here, but Roy would kill me’’
‘’Please, I need to go. I can’t stay here any longer. He would kill me if I don’t go now’’
‘’No, he wouldn’t. He wants you so much’’
‘’If he does, then why is he doing this?’’ I pity her then. I kept quiet. I couldn’t tell her why, I didn’t even know the answer myself.
‘’Why are you helping him?’’ Yes, why am I helping him?
‘’I don’t’ know. I always wanted to belong somewhere and he was the one who told me that I just needed to be myself in order to be accepted in his ‘group’. Now I know it was not true. I cant be myself when I’m with him. The only one who can is Asar’’
‘’I used to date him.’’
‘’Asar or Roy?’’
‘’Both of them. And it turned out really awful.’’
‘’What happened?’’ I had to ask. And her face lighted up. Women.
‘’I first dated Asar, and he is that type of guys that are so romantic. He always showed me his love to me. I loved him too.’’ The she stopped.
‘’And what happened? Why you broke up with him?’’
‘’Because Roy came in the picture. Asar told me they were best friend and I started having feelings for Roy. The time passed and I was falling more for Roy than for Asar. Asar noticed this and he broke up with me. Roy gave me comfort and it happened. I got engaged to Roy, we bought a house and then…I found him cheating on me.’’ She stopped again, but this time I didn’t ask anything else. She disserves some peace for right now and to get rid of all those bad memories.
‘’Would you let me go?’’ She asked me again. I couldn’t answer her, it would hurt her.
‘’I thought you might understand’’ and then we both kept in silence for the longest time ever.
