"Mother?" Beatrice whispered and her mother's ghost smiled at her while Pharian watched them.
"Thank you for finding me Beatrice" her mother smiled looking relieved.
"I'm glad I did I had no idea you were here" Beatrice's eyes were teary.
She couldn't believe her father would do this.
"Of course you wouldn't, I thought I married the right man" her mother smiled, s sad one and it ached Beatrice's heart.
"He would pay" she gritted her teeth angrily.
"No, don't stoop to his level" her mother pleaded.
"Though I do wonder what brought you here" she asked confused that Beatrice had come to the discarded room.
"Father said I am a witch just like you" Beatrice replied and the ghost frowned.
"What made him say that?" Her mother asked. She looked tensed.
"I can see demons and have been able to use some inhumane strength and power" Beatrice replied watching her.
Her mother turned to the man who was leaning against the table, watching them and she frowned more.
He was a demon. Demons and human witches had been enemies for centuries.
"Who is he?" Her mother asked with distaste.
"Oh" Beatrice turned to Pharian beckoning him to come with a smile and he obliged.
When he stood infront of her, she raised her legs and kissed his cheek shocking her mother.
"He is my husband Shawn" Beatrice replied and Pharian smiled at her, while her mother's face grew even paler with a deep frown.
"Why would you marry a demon?" Her mother asked looking worried. If Beatrice was indeed a human witch it would be catastrophic for both of them to be together.
Never in history had it happened that a demon and human witch be together.
"I don't care what specie he is I love him and that's all that matters" she retorted displeased by her mother's reaction. Pharian's smile grew wider watching her stand up for him and he shamelessly claimed her lips not minding her mother's presence turning Beatrice red.
"He has fooled you dear child that's what they do they are deceivers!" her mother warned.
"Mother it's fine, I trust Shawn" she retorted and her mother sighed at her child's ignorance.
"Am I a witch" Beatrice asked instead.
"Yes your aura is obvious but it wasn't when you were a child" her mother smiled with a little wave.
"Oh" Beatrice replied looking down. She already knew that, she slowly turned to face Pharian who sighed.
"I'll rather not think of you as one though you are" he replied lightly pinching her cheek and she smiled.
"Beatrice would you please bury me in a more suitable place" her mother asked.
"Of course mother" Beatrice replied.
"If you ever cause harm to my daughter...." her mother narrowed her eyes.
"You can't do anything witch" Pharian chuckled and smiled at her making she frowned, she knew he was one of the insane demons.
"But rest assured I love Beatrice and won't harm her or let any harm come to her" He winked at the ghost
....
"Skye" he held her face in his hands. He looked weary.
He shut his eyes and when he opened them, bright red eyes glared at her and she remembered the time he came back from his 'trip', this was how he was.
"Forgive me but I have to give you to my people" he said emotionless.
"Z...Zed what do you mean" she was confused. What did he mean?
"No human survives the underworld,
"Rest in peace.... Skye" he said then pulled away from her, keeping a certain distance between them.
"Please don't" Skye begged Zed who stared at her for a few seconds.
"I have no choice" he replied looking weary.
"You do, you are the Lord of the undead please I am begging You!" She pleaded falling on her knees in front of him as the tears overwhelmed her.
"I can do nothing and as their Lord I have to give my people what they desire" he replied sternly looking away.
Skye couldn't believe her ears was he really going to hand her over to the undead she was still so young and had her whole life ahead of her.
Her hands trembled and she hesitated before grabbing his hand and tying herself to him, she felt that shock she always did whenever she touched him to remind her that he was partly dead and he tensed up like always he never did like being touched.
"Skye!" He warned but she didn't let go as rivers of tears rolled down her eyes. Zed felt a sting his heart as he heard her sob but he had always been in control of his emotions.
Squatting to her level he grabbed her wrist in a steel grip and forced her to her feet she almost stumbled back to the floor but his grip on her hand held her steady. She couldn't be more amazed at his strength.
He stared at her, her bloodshot eyes and tear stained cheeks. Suddenly she screamed and tried to break free from his grip but it was no use.
Looking down at her wrist, he noticed his claws digging into her skin and he froze horrified but didn't let go amd watched her blood flowed down his own hand.
She was still going to die anyway he couldn't deny his people what they wanted, the soul of a pure hearted human and Skye was the perfect person.
"Zed!!" she screamed in pain as more tears flowed but he only pulled her closer his grip still on her arm she watched in shock as he pulled her hand and sucked off all the blood in a single slurp but she kept bleeding.
She stared into his eyes hoping to find him, but they were a deep shade of red, signifying how angry he was. It wasn't her Zed.
"You do not have to do this" she murmured still sobbing. He couldn't do this to her she knew in her heart that Zed wasn't this ruthless.
Using his other hand, he grabbed the back of her neck in a firm grip and harshly pressed his lips to hers, relishing the moment, it would be their last kiss. His heart began to thump faster she tried to pull free, but his grip was tight as he focused on claiming her lips and she soon gave in, immediately she did he pulled back.
"I have no choice" he whispered and the ground beneath opened up.
"Zed!!!" She screamed she begged and tried to run to him but he put a barrier between them.
"Goodbye Skye" he murmured mostly to himself watching as the ground began to pull her in she looked for what to grab onto but she couldn't find anything, she could hear the screams and rejoicing of the undead.
"Zed!!!!!!!" She screamed out her lungs as the ground swallowed her up shutting like it had never opened. Zed raised his hand as if to reach for her before he crashed unto the floor and did what he had never done he cried.
Zed Legge cried.
