ZANE POINT OF VIEW
One my guards automatically opens the door. "Stop right there. What did I tell you before?" The guard looks nervously on the ground. Your so pathetic. "I told you to knock before you enter because..." I wait for him to answer. Finally what seems like forever he conjured up enough courage to say "you could have been practicing your magic and it could accidently bounce off the walls and kill me."

I look at him who's still looking at his shoes.

Time to teach him a lesson.

What if I don't want to teach him a lesson?

You have to...just incase their watching!

"Like this..." just as I was about to destroy him I hear a knock. Good!

"Come in!" I answered letting the irritation creep in. "Sir, they're here." I look at the two guards making sure they see me still irritated and not showing any hint of fear. "Bash, the next time you come in without knocking you'll learn your lesson." He bows his head and replied "yes, thank you, sir."

I wait till they leave. Let's get this over with. I leave my office that I would do anything to just stay in.

I walk down the familiar hallways until I reach a "off limits" door. I look around me looking for any guards. Deep breath. You can do this! Seeing none I open the door and go down the stairs with each step having to tell myself to breathe.

I get to the bottom and look at the familiar door. Get this over with and don't do anything to offend him!

I open the door and immediately was hit with the scent of smoke.

"Jack. I was worried you weren't going to come." I shift nervously under my weight as I decided how to respond. "People call me Zane now and I'm here aren't I..." I stop talking when I hear him laugh. Don't get smart with him! Stay calm!

"I think I'm still going to call you Jack. You don't mind do you?" He asked me and couldn't help the shiver that had escaped from me. "Not at all sir." His harsh tone bounced off the walls as he roared "what did I ask you to call me?!" Stay calm! Stay calm! "Sorry, your majesty."

"Very good, Jack. Now what's going on?" Deep breath. Make him happy. "Everything you wanted, your majesty. The girl is coming in next week with the necklace..." I hear a shaky laugh. Play along!

I immediately stop laughing when he starts talking again. "Is it everything I want? If it was she would have been here already. Also do you know for sure if she going to bring the necklace?" It took everything in me at least not to chuckle. "Trust me she going to bring the necklace or someone very important would get very very hurt and she knows it." I said fully confident. That's the first.

"I should trust you? Now why is that?" What do I say? Because I do everything you ask of me to do? Because she's going to bring it? Is she going to bring it? Yes! She has to...my life and another life depends on it!

"Ugh, sometimes I really wonder why I chose you out of all people to do my dirty work." Why did you choose me? I would have been so much happier if you left me alone! "Who is this important person?" Completely clueless as to what he's referring to, he continues "breaking it down yes. Who is this important person to Isa?" Oh, well now I feel stupid for not getting that earlier. "His name is Ethan Anderson."

All of a sudden I felt the room getting colder and for a guy who can't feel or be affected by temperatures I'm a little creeped out on how he can do it. "Ethan Anderson. I remember him. Oh, this is just getting interesting. She grown fond of this boy. We must bring him back. Not right away though. When you take Isa away Ethan would go looking for her. She'll lead him right into our trap." I find it extremely creeping how he comes up with these plans on the spot!

No longer able to hold it in any longer I asked "how is she?" Please have her be okay, please have her be okay! "She alive if that's what you're referring to." Not being able to hold it in I demanded "what did you do to her?!" He looks at me his red eyes glowing with anger. "Don't forget who you are working for Kyle. I could kill her with a snap of my fingers."

I get down on my knees toward his feet. "Please I'm begging you, please don't hurt her! I'll do all that you ask of me to do just don't hurt her!" I feel the anger from him surrounding me, but all I can think about is the fear that's is shaking my whole body.

"Get up, you worthless sloth. I'll give you ten minutes to see her." He walks away leaving me to gather myself up, and follow him quickly. I'm going to be able to see her!

We walk all the way to the opposite side of the room 100 feet. He opens the door. "You got ten minutes. Go!" I walk in and close the door behind me. Finally get to see the one of love!

I don't see her at first until I hear a small whimper.

"Please don't hurt me," she whispered. I followed her voice and saw her.

I wish I never saw this! She has deep bruises all over her body, deep wounds that are red with infection, and her right arm bending the wrong way.

I couldn't help the tears that fell down and landed on her cheek. She winced in pain. "I'm so sorry..." I knelt down to heal her wounds, but she stopped me. "Dooon't Jack you... can'tt."

"Hey its okay." I heal most of the wounds, but it still looked bad. At least was able to fix her arm. Remember what happened last time you healed all her wounds. The awful memory of me having to watch them torture her because I healed her.

"I'm so sorry. I.. I wish I can do something, anything. Please forgive me." I knew I should have never fallen in love, but I couldn't help it as she stole my heart, but now...she paying for my stupid mistake.

She holds out her hand which I take. "It's noot your fault Jack. Please... don't blame yourself for this... it'ss them who you should blame." Once she was done her breathing slowed, but she was still looking at me.

I feel what she thinking and I couldn't help, but smile at what she's so worried about. "Even with bags under your eyes and these... wounds that are covering you, your still the most beautifullest creature I ever set my eyes on.

I see her cheeks turn a bright red which she tries to hide. I started laughing and kissed her softly on the lips which she returns.

"Time to go!" I break a part and stare daggers at the guards.

I try to bring out my fire sword, but nothing. Ice? Nothing.

"Our master thought you would try to use your powers when we come to get you. He has temporarily taken your powers. Now hurry up before we hurt her even more." I couldn't help, but feel full hatred for the guard who smiled when his partner said that.

If you're the one hurting her I would come after you!

"I'll like to see you try." He can read thoughts? Good then he'll hear he's... "That's enough from you I wasn't kidding when I said 'we will hurt her!'"

The guards came running to me and dragged me out of the cell.

"Don't worry, Mila. I'll come for you! I promise!"

So what do you think about Zane (Jack) now?

Why would he let Mila call him by his real name, but for everyone else let's them know he's Zane?

How do you like Zane point of view? Should I do more often?

If you have any questions please let me know and I'll try to answer them as best as I can.
