Zen: Zac!
*Zen ran over to the body laying on the ground unmoving.*
Zac: Z-Zen?
Zen: It's me buddy, oh god your bleeding so much. It's going to be okay though, Lucy will fix you up. Just hold on until you get there buddy.
Zac: Zen...I can't see you, it's all blurry.
Zen: Shh it's ok, I'm going to take you to Lucy.
*Zen wrapped his arms around Zac about to carry him to Lucy when Zac grabbed onto Zen's sleeve. Zen looked down and could see the life slowly leaving Zac eyes.*
Zac weakly: Tell Lucy I love her and thank her for taking care of me.
Zen: D-don't talk like that, your going to be fine."
*Zac chuckled but it ended in him coughing from the pain.*
Zen: Shh it's going to be okay buddy.
Zac: I don't even know where to start with you Zen. I have so much to thank you for.
Zen: Don't thank me until I save you
*However Zac didn't hear him.*
Zac: Thanks for saving me from my old painful life and giving me a new one.
Zen: Zac...
*But Zac ignored him knowing he didn't have much time left.*
Zac: Thanks for giving me a home and showing me what having a real family looks like.
Zen: Zac don't..."
*Zen starts to feel tears from.*
Zac: Thanks for showing and teaching me new things.
Zen: Zac please...
Zac: And thank you for showing me love and for always taking care of me, no one ever did that to me till I became part of the family.
Zen: Zac there's no need to thank me, I and the others were able to do it because you are such a nice boy. There no reason to thank me for anything.
*Zen's voice cracking at the end.
Zac: I'm sorry I can't be with you guys any longer—"
Zen: No what happen wasn't your fault and your going to be okay so there's no need to apologize.
*Zac smiled weakly and a tear ran down his face.*
Zac: I love you dad.
*Zen felt Zac go completely limp in his hold and the little life that had been there left in his eyes.*
*Zen started to sob and held Zac close to him not caring about all the blood that was getting all over his shirt. Lucy was running towards him what was wrong but Zen didn't answer. Instead he just held Zac tighter and whispered softly.*
"I love you too son."
-----
*Zen sat up from his bed sweating and breathing heavily. He closed his eyes and sighed.*
Zen head: It's been a while since I've had that nightmare.
*Zen looked over and found Lucy still sleeping.*
Zen: At lease I didn't wake her up.
*Zen slowly gets up and heads down stairs. He grabs a glass of cold water and then sits on the couch in the dark.*
*Zen takes a sip of it and sighs. He then looks at the coffee table and at the sorry board box.*
Zen head: That's right, we played sorry with Heath after not playing for it so long. It definitely brought back memory's, that's probably why I had that dream too.
