Something My Mind Made Up

21. Awake

It's been a few days since I've seen King. I can't get him out of my head.

But why?

I should go visit him.

He might be a bad guy but he's still human.

I got out of bed and put on a hoodie since it was cold and I'm not wearing a bra. I made my way down the stairs and knocked on the interrogation room door.

"Aww, kitty!" I heard Rip squeal.

I looked towards the sound of his voice when the door opened.

"Vera? It's 3:25, why are you here?" Ezra asked.

"Can I see him?"

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Don't feel bad for this guy. He's a murderer. He's held people hostage, he's tortured people and taunted families. He's not ti be pitied." He said and I heard a yawn come from inside.

"He's awake, just let her see him. What's the worst that will happen?" Liam asked from inside.

"Fine. But we switch guards in four minutes. If they tell you you need to leave; then you need to leave." Ezra said and I nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Bagger."

He stepped to the side and I walked in. I wrote my name on the visitors log and walked into the small room.

"Vera Bizarre Zamora! Can I call you Zammy? Or maybe Verry? Ver ver?"

"Why?"

"Because I think those are all such cute names for you!"

"Is my name not cute enough for you?"

"It is. But I just wanna squeeze you!"

"Weirdo." I sat down on the chair and he smiled.

"I think you're the weirdo for missing me."

"Missing you?"

"That's why you came to see me! Because you missed me!" He suddenly gasped. "What if we're soulmates!?"

"Hardly." I scoffed. "I don't have a soulmate. Love isn't for me. And if I did have a soulmate, it wouldn't be a psychopath."

"You never know!"

"I think I do."

"Who hurt you? Your daddy?"

"Shut up!"

"Okay, I hit a nerve, I'm sorry. I won't go there again." He shrugged.

I looked away and crossed my arms.

"I don't care."

"I'd like to apologize for upsetting you. I'm sorry, Vera."

"It's fine, I don't care." I looked at him again and he smiled.

"Psychopaths are supposed to be charming. Don't think I'm falling for any of this."

He just smiled and suddenly there was scratching at the door.

We both looked over and I uncrossed my legs and arms.

"You should probably open that."

I looked at King before walking to the door sbd opening it.

"Meow!"

In ran a small orange cat.

"Meow!" The cat closed the door and I stared at it.

"Why hello there friend! Aren't you the cutest thing here?" I bent down and began to pet it. It began to purr and I picked it up.

I noticed he was a guy and I booped his nose.

"Meow!" He hopped out of my arms abs sniffed around.

"About time! I was staring to think you abandoned me and took the title of number one assassin!" King laughed and I looked at him confused.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Meowdy there."

I spun around and gasped as I was gripped by the neck.

A man with red hair and purple eyes smiled at me and tightened his hood on my neck.

"German, play nice!" King chided.

I tried to cough up some smoke, I wanted to fight back.

Why isn't anyone coming? Did he knock the guards out?!

I noticed the blood on him.

"Come on, King!" German whined.

"No, don't kill her! I like her!"

"Fine."

Tears filled my eyes from the lack of oxygen and I could feel my face turning red.

I'm gonna die.
