"No, if I do when they are older, they will hunt me for the death of their parents"

"Shut the door" Zed told Pharian who sighed but obeyed though he was still confused on why Zed made his raw form known to Skye.

He heard bitter screams and weeps and soon the door opened to reveal Zed wipping off the blood from his lips and Pharian was happy to see his brother looking more healthy.

"I would hug you but I can't" Zed smiled and Pharian forced a smile, he had never known the joy of being hugged by someone.

Zed noticed that his words grieved his brother though he wasn't one to be sympathetic he walked over to Pharian and engulfed him in an awkward hug and tapped his back.

Pharian was shocked by the action,  he had hardly been shown any kind of affection. He blinked, hesitating  befor3 he hugged his brother back tears brimming in his eyes, after a few seconds to let him relish the hug, Zed pulled back and smiled at him.

"Don't get emotional it's my way of saying thank you" Zed smiled as he ruffled his brother's hair making Pharian smile.

"I better go back to skye" Zed recalled turning around.

"Be careful with her" Pharian warned and Zed smiled at him before disappearing.

Him being with Skye was making him more human. Pharian thought

Zed appeared back in the world of the living. In Skye's room only to meet Helen.

"Where is my wife?" Zed asked his Amber eyes searching the room for her.

"S...She is in your chambers sire" Helen replied shocked at how he appeared in the room. But he didn't care to explain before disappearing again and Helen screamed.

He appeared in his room and met Skye rolled on his bed.

"Skye?" He called causing her to look up and notice his presence. Her face held an expression of shock and evident fear. She was scared, he made her afraid. He hated himself for it.

Regardless, she rushed towards him and embraced him.

"Please don't ever die again" she pleaded and it made Zed frown.

"I won't" he assured her pulling back.

"I'm sorry for hurting you" he pleaded. He only ever apologized to her.

"That wasn't you, you were possessed Pharian told me" she shook her head.

If only she knew that was actually the real him.

"Please stay with me tonight" Zed asked and she watched his eyes before nodding. He was tired and wasn't fully recovered.

He lifted her up and she squealed not expecting the action, he slowly and gently laid her on the bed before entering into it with her he wrapped his hands around her pulling her closer to him. She felt taciturn, weird but oddly comfortable___ and safe.

It didn't take long for her to sleep off, peacefully in his arms and immediately she did, Zed smiled and shut his eyes sleeping off almost immediately he had never been more tired.

The next morning Skye woke up feeling free and not crushed like last night she sat up and stretched looking round the room she first noticed she wasn't in her room.

She turned to the side to find Zed at the far end of the bed sleeping. Why had he move away from her?

She moved over to him and noticed his breathing was rugged and forced, he was sweating profusely and muttering some thing in his sleep.

"Zed" she called and shook him gently causing his eyes tp force open. They were dark red, they looked malicious.

Skye moved back in shock as she noticed that his nails has also elongated. Zed turned to her and studied her for a while then his pupils dilated.

"Apologies good morning" he smiled seeming normal.

"Morning?" she asked still confused she watched his eyes dilate they were almost fully Amber.

"I had a bad dream" he answered her unsaid question.

"Oh...." She wanted ask what it was about when she recalled whenever she asked him a question, he would ignore.

"You look pretty" he smiled and she stared at him shocked, she was probably a mess disheveled hair and puffy eyes after all the crying of yesterday.

"You speak nonsense how do you feel" She asked worried.

He chuckled at her saying he spoke nonsense.

He saw why she was precious to her father. she was a pure soul.

He raised his hands to her cheeks they were soft.

She was still confused about what had happened to him.

"Zed, can you tell me why....." She stopped herself.

"Why what? "Zed asked.

"It is not important" She replied shaking her head oddly becoming intrested in a loose thread of her robe.

"Still say it" he urged she hesitated and looked up at his expectant face before she spoke.

"Why do you drink blood?" she asked making him frown.

"That question goes a long way" he replied not ready to explain and she only nodded.

"I will tell you if you can give me something" he smiled, concocting mischief in his blue covered head

"And what will that be?" she asked.

"You are not to know until the time though I will still tell you now" He informed

"Okay" She agreed though she was confused on what he would ask for, she hoped she would be able to grant it. He smiled at her answer.
