Temptress. (Zak Bagans FanFic)

The Father.

I stirred in the morning light and my body was focused by a cool hand, my body jolted up to see Clio struggling in her sleep.

"Clio!" I pushed he back and forth until she woke up. "It's okay." I held her body.

"Uhhh it was just a dream. Thank god" she muffled.

"Dreaming of something bad?" I played with her hair and pushed it out of her face. "That monster?"

"I'm not afraid of monsters Zak, I once loved one."

"What was it like?"

"Nothing you'd ever imagine, I never thought I'd ever be in a situation like that. He took everything from me from family to me, he destroyed who I was. I turned myself into his home for him to leave me homeless, it wasn't fair."

"And Zak?" I watched her face as it shattered.

"I don't wanna talk about this." She got out of bed and left me.

I didn't know when she was coming back so I got up and got dressed, I peaked through her drawers and found a box with 'Z' on it. I brought it over by the bed and looked inside, baby photos, baby pictures and everything else you could imagine.

"Zak I uh" busted!

"Clio."

"Digging for more information? What do you want?" She snatched the box out of me.

"I just wanna help and understand this, understand you! Why won't you let me in?"

"Because you're a man! I know what you things are capable of!" She screamed back.

"What is going on! You! You!" Randy came in blowing down the walls, he pointed at me and chased me. "I told you to go away! Leave my Clio alone!" He shoved me into the hallway.

"Dad!" Clio tried to fight him off.

"No! You can't go through this pain again! What if he knows Warren? What if he sends Warren here?"

Warren was alive?

"DAD!" She gasped loudly, she clung to her clothes and started to hyperventilate.

"Wa-Warren is alive?" I struggled to speak.

"Didn't he not know?" Randy looked at Clio.

"He doesn't know anything." She looked at me.

"Zak it's time to go." Randy helped me off the floor and walked me out.

"Look Zak, she's dealt with a lot of issues and I'm trying to protect her from Warren. He is alive, she didn't kill him. He managed to survive. See she killed Colin out of rage after Zak, she tried to kill Warren on a empty mind no rage and she couldn't do it. My daughter is no murdered." He sat down on the porch, took his glasses of and wiped his tears away.

"I can protect her Sir, I like Clio very much and I wouldn't let anything happen to her." I gave him my word.

"You can't. Warren knows Aaron, Warren will come back soon. He always does." He got up and headed back inside. "Zak, you're a good man. Thank you."

I was left sitting on the stairs again piled with questions from Warren to Aaron and Warren then back to Warren and him coming to hurt Clio. I needed to talk to Aaron and find out who Warren is and what would he want with Clio.

-----------------------------------------------

I decided to call it a night and just go home and sleep, with all this bullshit I needed a good solid sleep.

But, that's not what I got. I had someone banging down my door.

"Clio" I opened the door and let her in. "Feels weird seeing you walk through my door." I joked with her.

"Okay Warren is alive. I didn't have the strength to kill him, I should've told you but I was scarred. You Zak scare me." She admitted.

"How?" I was surprised, last thing I'd wanna do is scare Clio.

"Something about you, I dunno. I don't want to disappoint you or bring you into this mess but I know that you're good to me and would help me." She took a deep breath. "Can you please help me?"

"With what?"

"Help me get away? From my parents, from Warren, from Vegas and.."

"From me, yea?" I rolled my eyes, how could she want to this to me!

"Zak, if Warren finds me you'll be dead. Do you know why he wants me? Do you really know why Colin went on a rage and killed Zak?"

"Oh please tell me! I'm dying to know!" Sarcasm was strong here.

"Warren was Zak's father."
