I Need You [A Zack Foster x OC fanfic]

Food

Both Zack and Lily sat there on the bed with a large cheeseburger sitting in front of them. After Zack had woken Lily up, she had gone out to get food.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much money on her at all, so she was only able to get a burger, and nothing else.

But that didn't deter Zack in the slightest.

He reached over and grabbed the burger. He then attempted at trying to tear it in half without making a mess on the bed.

Zack wasn't exactly a clean person, but he didn't exactly want to be sitting in a pile of ketchup or something.

Zack held out the hand holding the larger half out to Lily, waiting for her to take it. This was a normal thing between them. After all, he refused to let her be starved to death back at the orphanage.

Seems like old habits die hard.

Not that Zack particularly cared about how his habits were.

Yet Zack couldn't stop the confusion he felt when Lily made no move to take the food that was being offered to her.

"Hey...what's up? What are you waiting for?" Zack motioned his hand toward her again, waiting for her to take it.

Lily didn't move for a second, before she looked at Zack and then smiled, while closing her eyes.

"It's okay, Zack. I don't need....I don't have an appetite. You should eat it, or it'll just go to waste." Lily said.

Zack narrowed his eyes.

I know what this is. This is when she refuses to lie, but doesn't want to tell the truth either. She changed what she was gonna say. She's hiding something.

But I have no idea what.

Lily squirmed under the intense gaze Zack was looking at her with.

She eventually reached out and grabbed the burger piece from Zack's hands and took a small bite.

After a moment, Zack began eating also. He practically inhaled the smaller burger piece in just a few bites.

He sat there and waited for Lily to finish her piece, but the girl kept taking very small bites, and would chew each bite for long periods of time before swallowing. Then she would hesitate before taking another bite, but she would comply when she glanced up to see Zack staring at her. She was about halfway down with her piece when Zack felt a familiar feeling flow through him.

Kill.

Zack knew exactly what this feeling was. It was bloodlust. He wanted to wait until Lily was finished eating to make sure she ate it all, but he didn't want to risk letting his bloodlust make him turn on her. The thought of hurting Lily made him feel nauseous.

He couldn't help but remember when he made Ray run away from him when he couldn't control his need to spill blood.

I know that it was the poison that dead bitch gave us that made me really lose it......but still......

"I'm going out." Zack stated suddenly, standing up and walking out the door with his scythe in his hand, not saying another word.

***********************************************************************************************

It wasn't long after that, Zack came back, blood on his scythe and splattered on his face.

He shut the door and leaned against it with a long and contented sigh.

But when he looked up, he frowned when he saw that Lily was gone and a piece of the burger lying in her spot. It looked as though that she didn't take another bite once Zack had left.

Seriously?! Why is she-

BLARGH!!!

Zack's eyes widened at the lout sounds of someone throwing up and gagging. His eyes trailed over to the bathroom door.

There was no hesitation when he strode over to the door and kicked it open.

There Lily was, leaning over the toilet, with her face red and tears coming down from her eyes. While he was gone, she must have taken off her jacket, because now he could see that she was wearing a slightly tight pink shirt.

But what shocked him was how skinny she was. He couldn't tell before with the jacket on, but now it was clear as day.

He has seen kids a lot skinnier than her, by far, but that was not long before they died because of it. Although Lily looked close to keeling over right than and there.

Zack made a strangled noise in the back of his throat from surprise, and Lily's eyes immediately shot over to him. She stood up quickly with a panicked look on her face. Although, that look quickly disappeared as her eyes lost focus and she fell to the ground unconscious.
