I Need You [A Zack Foster x OC fanfic]

How Are You Here?

"...Why...How are you...here?" Zack finally got the question out.

The last time he saw Lily was at the orphanage.

After their meeting there, they had stuck together at all times. If one was getting beaten, the other one was there to help them.

They could rely on each other.

They could trust each other.

Then a few days before Zack finally snapped and started killing, she was gone.

He couldn't find her anywhere.

And he looked, by god he looked for her.

But she was nowhere to be seen.

He was so worried...he was so worried that his first friend was dead and gone.

And when he was digging...

...When he saw that skull...

He was afraid that he would never she her again.

He wouldn't be too surprised if the two who ran the orphanage had killed her.

In his mind, she couldn't have started to death like so many others, since he always made sure that he shared whatever he found with her.

But being beaten to death? Easily possible.

She wasn't too strong after all. He had seen it himself, her trying to fight back, yet being easily overpowered.

Just how easily she could be bruised too.

And yet, she was very agile and quick. Her reflexes were sharp too. If something happened, she was quick to move and had great instincts.

They made a great team and looked out for each other.

But then she was gone.

Probably dead.

Even after he killed the two people who looked over the orphanage, he still looked for her.

He was desperate.

He wanted to find her.

He needed to find her.

But he failed.

He went through every room.

He even looked around the building, looking at the ground to see if there was any spot in the ground that was recently dug up. Any spots that he didn't dig up himself, that is. He even looked at the spots he did himself, just in case.

If they buried her, at least he would know whether or not she was really dead.

But there was nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

She was gone.

And he was alone once more.

That night, when he finally gave up, covered in blood and grime, he cried.

He cried for the one person that he came to care for and would have done anything to protect.

So to see her now, standing in front of him after all those years...

All those years of regret of how he failed her.

Of hate at the world for taking her away.

Now she was here, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
