Chapter Four: Unexpected Surprize

Mazikeen exited from the bathroom waving her hands about to dry them, she stopped when Maze heard a couple voices in Oliver's room. She neared the door and put her ear up to it.

"Oli I seriously think something is up with her, she been acting strange ever since she woke up this morning." Said Isaac in a worried tone

Dylan intervenes " Did anyone see that bandage on her arm today? She said it was because she fell off her bike. She hasn't been outside in months!"

Oliver replies with "Are you guys sure that Troy hasn't touched her?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Dylan's voice grew sharp with concern. "Do you think that..." He trailed off and looked down with sad eyes.

Isaac glanced up at him and proclaimed, "No way, not our little Maze...she wouldn't! Would she!?"

Oliver looked at the both of them, "We do need to rule out all possibilities..."

The secret group grew quiet. The atmosphere  thick and heavy.

Mazikeen backed away from the door and slid into her room. Sitting down on her desk chair she thought quietly to herself.

They can't be on to me yet can they? No not this quickly... I covered my tracks pretty good.

She slipped into a daze, resting her head on her hands Mazikeen began to nod off. Suddenly a slam came from downstairs, the front door. Troys home. "Dinner. OH GOD DINNER!"

I'm dead meat now!

Mazikeen's heart raced as she threw open her door and ran down the stairs as quickly as she could. Walking into a scene.

Troy has Cole in a chokehold, as Oliver was being threatened by a knife pointed in his direction with Troy's other hand Isaac was hurriedly trying to race down the hall and slammed into Maze.

All attention looked to them,Troy grinned with lust  in his eyes. Mazikeen rubbed her head, Isaac threw a quick apology and blocked Troy's path to Mazikeen. She laid there on the floor, slowly backing up.

Troy let go of Cole, flinging him into Oliver, they crashed into the sofa. They looked at each other and popped back up circling Troy.

"Give it up BOYS!"

"Not gonna happen, don't lay a finger on her." Oliver Growled. Isaac grew nervous as Troy began to step up to him. But he held his ground. Determined to keep Maze safe at any cost.

Oliver launches him self at Troy giving them just enough time to lock themselves into Isaac's  room. Mazikeen struggles against Isaac and Cole. Wanting to go back to Oliver.

"Maze! Snap out of it we have to leave him, it's okay. We're going to be fine. Dylan yelled. Mazikeen's eyes watered and she burst into tears. Saying something about it being her fault.

"Maze...no sweetie it's not your fault, none of us could even predict him being home so early."

He held her against his chest as Cole whispered sweet nothings into her ear, trying to calm her nerves. Dylan rubbed circles into her back, Cole whispered sweet nothings and Isaac held her into his chest.
