Chapter 10: Above & Beyond The Brink Of Death

Levi held her close to his chest, his heart was beating so fast compared to her's. He sighed & breathed deeply, it was all over now. Isabel rested her hand on his shoulder.

"Maybe we can give her a proper burial. Like the kind humans get. She always wanted to be human." She mumbled softly. Farlan looked over to the side, glancing down to the cold ground.

"Izzy, let's just leave Levi be for now..." Farlan said taking her hand as the two walked away somber.

Now it was just the two of them, alone in the wet grass by the lagoon. The trees were billowing in the wind quietly, then Levi felt little drops of rain. He sighed & glared at the sky, he lost all his happiness. The rain started to come of faster, much more hard. They were both starting to get more wet from the storm approaching. Zoe's tail started to glow as the blood drained off. Levi kept his eyes closed, unable to even look at her dead body. Her eyes started to open, her eyelashes fluttered like a wakening butterfly. She gasped when she saw him crying, & hugged him tightly.

"Levi.... Don't cry... Please. It's ok, I'm here for you." She whispered into his ear.

"Z-Zoe... Are you alive..?" Levi said with a stutter. "Or am I just-"

"Levi... You thought I was dead?! Hahaha! That's hilarious!" She said laughing so hard she started to tear up.

"Stop! You scared the hell out of me! That's not funny!!!" He said slapping her, she winced.

"Owie! You're a big meanie! No need to be rude!" Zoe said rolling her eyes & pouting.

"Oh come here you!" He pulled her into a deep kiss, holding the back of her head tightly. She grabbed his cheeks & closed her eyes tightly. She then wrapped her arms around his shoulders, Zoe's necklace began to glow. He pulled away in shock, she looked down at her newly formed legs. The cuts have been repaired beautifully. Levi carried her aways, to find Isabel & Farlan sitting on the wet grass on the rain. Isabel looked over in surprise.

"ZOE! Thank goodness you're ok!" She said running over to the two in a tight hug. "II thought you were dead!"

Farlan gave Levi a soft smile & winked at him, which he got an eye roll in return. He laughed & joined in the hug.

"I think we should go home... I'm tired." Zoe said while yawning.

"But what are we gonna do about the body? It's still there." Levi said looking at Farlan.

"Well she did try to attack us, & since we have the scars, it's perfectly believable." He answered Levi. "I'll just call Mike, He'll get this girl into a proper place."

"But she isn't human, what if someone finds it & they send her to a lab to be tested. That'll put Zoe in danger." Levi stated.

"Well, good point. We'll just put her in the water for the time being." Farlan said, grabbing Rico by the ankles & dragging her into the water. "We need to get out of here before anyone finds out."

"Right, let's bolt." He said picking up Zoe. Isabel & Farlan started up the boat & they left quickly in the night.

(Some Time Later...)

In the morning they all woke up on the couch, Isabel got up & stretched. Then going into the kitchen to make breakfast. Levi got up with a bad case of the bed head, he walked into the kitchen groggy, sitting on the chair half asleep.

"Oh Levi... Wake up." She said hitting his head.

"Gah! Izzy!!!" He yelled. "What was that for!?"

"Nothing... It's just fun." She answered snickering. "How do you want your eggs?"

"Sunny side up." He said crossing his arms.

"As usual." She smiled while cracking an egg. "Turn on the news."

Levi pressed the button boredly. His eyes widened when he saw the cover.

The front news was about a girl found in the body of a lake, near Rose Island, but in the lagoon by Beach Sina. The reports were that she was 5,4 petite, Caucasian, silver eyes, found naked with bullet wounds found on her pelvis. They are now on the case to find the murderer for this homicide. A police officer from Mariaville Lake has reported to have seen three teenagers & the girl was strangling another girl. He reports that the two men who shot the girl were yelling at her while attempting to save the girl she was trying to attack. The officer tried to get help but they took off. He also says that there was a bright lighting strike that forcefully was used. He called it "witchcraft", & people need to steer clear of the lagoon until the case was solved.

Levi was shaking in his seat, then turned to Isabel screaming.

"We need to run!"
