________________________________flashback_____________________________ __

Zachary sat in his sophomore homeroom, penciling down a song’s lyrics he saw in his dreams the night before inside a steel-plated notebook with the words “kill me“ on the cover. Slaughter’s hair was black with neon green tips, the bangs worn long over one eye. His apparel consisted of a Moonspell (death/black metal band) muscle shirt with an Iced Earth (older metal band) leather jacket, baring his last name on the back. The pants he wore were a size too large, the stitching being colored a bluish-purple with huge iron crosses running down the outer side of each pant leg, heavy, black chains reaching up from the ankle to the waist. An inverted pentagram made from goat bone hung around his neck with pride.
So thick was the silence in the classroom that a pin dropping could be perceived as a huge disturbance. The entire room of students were working extra hard and diligent at something…all except one. Weston Hughes, a big jock and self-proclaimed badass who has been known to start shit crumbled up a piece of paper and threw it at Zach’s head. The goth kid’s fist suddenly clasped tightly to the no. 2 pencil he held until it broke into, standing abruptly as three desks toppled over in his wake. Weston lifted his eyebrow and stood as well, “Look at this bitch, jumping up like he’ll do something!” The jock boy remarked, causing laughter to flare up around the room.
Just then, an enraged hand caught the overly confident boy by the throat, “Listen to me good you son of a bitch, I’m fucking fed up with you and your antagonistic games! So here’s what I’m gonna do, meet me off school property after last hour and I’ll show you who’s the BITCH!” The kid’s eyes went wide, in all the times he shared classes with Slaughter there had never been any responses to Weston’s jokes, but now this “freak” was challenging him to a fight.
“Oh well…” Hughes thought. “I guess I’ll just have to whoop his ass to show him who he fucked with…” The teacher was suddenly hovering over both of them.
“Boys…that’s enough. Finish this after school, in the meantime…SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!” The two took their seats as murmurs and whispers crept up around the small crowd of classmates saying that Zach’s death was near but this just caused him to laugh hysterically as the A lunch bell rang..
---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
Lunch time:
Slaughter quickly left his classroom and made it past the lunch aids and principle without detection. His main priority was to get outside as quick and stealthy as he could, and this was exactly what he did. After exiting the school’s back doors, Zachary made a sharp left and dove to the side. “It‘s time to scorch this green monster!” He exclaimed, pulling a HUGE white boy’s blunt made from four king-sized papers out of a case in his pocket and sparked it with a Zippo that said, ‘I’m a pot smoker, DEAL WITH IT!’ The first puff was flat-out heavenly, it’s thick smoke filling his lungs and causing him to smile in satisfaction, “Nothing is more graceful than a burning fatty, especially when you’re the only one smoking it!” Zach howled, laughing rather loudly.
Suddenly, the door opened and the already high Slaughter was too slow to duck out of view. To his relief, the person who came through the doorway was none other than the picture perfect junior Sapphire Zephyr, who’s beauty could only compare to the Mother Goddess herself. She was carrying flyers for the drama club’s school play and spotted Zachary to the side who was struggling to suck down the enormous joint which was barely quarter gone. This strange scene caused her to giggle, “You need some help there, dude?” She asked him, shooting Slaughter such a horrendously cute look with those icy blue eyes that it made his heart completely melt. The disoriented boy wheezed a bit and shook his head.
“Nah, I don’t need help, but you can burn with me anyway. I had no clue you smoked, Sapphire!” He pointed out, chuckling while some smoke escaped his lips. The excited girl took a big hit and cocked her head to the side.
“How’d you know my name?” She asked, exhaling and passing it back to him. Zachary looked at the ground and sighed.
“My name‘s Zach…I sit behind you in homeroom, but…I guess you wouldn’t really know who I am…” His sentence ended with a clearly noticeable and burdening amount of depression. Just then, Ms. Zephyr finally realized who he was, “Zach…wait…you’re supposed to fight my boyfriend, Weston…aren’t you?” Slaughter’s heart immediately sank when she said this. He awaited some smartass comments from the girl, a threat or even to get struck by her, but none of that came. The exact opposite happened when Sapphire lunged in towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck in a desperate embrace.
“OH ZACH!” She cried, tears filling her eyes. “PLEASE SAVE ME FROM THAT MONSTER OF A SO CALLED BOYFRIEND!” Zach studied the weeping girl for quite some time, then brushed away the teardrops.
“What has that bastard done to you?!” Thundered Slaughter, his fist slamming into the brick wall behind them. She took a deep breath and buried her face in his chest, mumbling her response.
“It’s too horrid to speak of…” She muttered, just loud enough for him to hear her. Zachary exhaled some smoke, shrugging his shoulders.
“If it ails you to recall what he has done than his actions must have been truly terrible. I won’t bother you about it again…” The tone of his voice jumped from a maliciously sinful snarl moments before into a gentle, soothing whisper that warmed her heart just by the slight sound of it. Sapphire could not help herself nor could she control the quivering tears that endlessly cascaded from her perfect glacier eyes, the streams stinging the sides of her face as she realized how cold it was outside. When Ms. Zephyr comprehended this, her body began to shiver relentlessly, the paper thin t-shirt she was wearing did nothing whatsoever to shield her milky white skin from the frigid weather.
Zach felt her unstable quakes and quickly removed his leather jacket, handing it to the nearly freezing girl, “Here Sapphire, it’s too fucking cold out here you’ll get hypothermia!” He exclaimed, once again drying her tears. She sighed in relief, but was suddenly struck with astonishment as her eyes enlarged as big as they could go in awe. The heavy chained leather jacket had been hiding perfectly toned muscles literally bulging out of his black muscle shirt! She reached out to him and touched his muscles, realizing they were real.
“W…wow…” She muttered, looking back up at him. “You’re cute, sweet, a stoner, AND you’re fucking ripped! I’m one lucky fucking girl!” Zach took one last hit from the blunt and put it out, letting the bud smoke roll from his mouth. For a minute or two there was a dense, unbroken silence that seemed to loll on until the end of time and she even found her self becoming infuriated with him. But he finally splintered the period of muteness with a powerful but heartwarming laughter that seemed inappropriate to the wrathful Ms. Zephyr who was ever growing more and more irritated by the second.
“Stoner moment hun, sorry about that. Anyway…what did you mean by saying you were ‘one lucky fucking girl’?” Zach questioned out of the blue, baring her a seductive smile. Sapphire shook her head for a second, then returned with a full-out pounce that lead her lips to touch his in a heated kiss.
She shot him a sexy grin in the same fashion as he, “I think you know EXACTLY what I mean, hot stuff!” Sapphire gasped, blushing and giggling as she realized her current position. Slaughter had slowly taken her to the ground while pulling up her shirt and fondling one d-sized breast while sucking hard on the other. Suddenly, she began to let out tremendously audible moans that kids and teachers alike on the other side of school could probably hear them. Zachary, who became aware of this, stopped what he was doing and redid her bra, sliding her shirt back down the way it was. “I’m sorry baby girl, but we can’t do this here, I gotta get off you for now.”
Ms. Zephyr began to pout, “Aw…okay…” Just as he helped her up off the ground, the B lunch bell sounded.
“Um…Zach…when we walk back into the cafeteria, don’t kiss me, don’t hold my hand, and PLEASE don’t give me any of those LUSCIOUS sensual glances of yours!” Sapphire’s words fragmented his soul like a crystalline wine glass thrown into a pure granite floor. “I don’t want you fighting Weston in school and getting taken to jail, okay?”
Damn, what a relief! Zachary had begun to believe his new love was ashamed of him, but she had clarified it by that second statement. Slaughter kissed her on the lips one more time before nodding in affirmation, “Gotcha, I’ll go straight to my lunch table, but after school you’re mine! That is…AFTER I break your boyfriend‘s face!” Ms. Zephyr grinned brightly and returned his kiss.
“You got it, you fucking sexy beast, now let’s get in there and ignore each other!” And with that, they ventured into the school, going separate ways. Slaughter slowly approached his friends’ table and sat down, everyone immediately noticing he had no jacket. “Where’s your leather, man?” His friend Ty inquired. “Dude, that thing costs like…a lot of money, and it even has your last name on the back!” Added a druggie nicknamed ‘Indo’ (real name Herman) for obvious reasons. Zach, who was WAY too stoned just realized that he had broken his word to Sapphire.
“Shit…please forgive me Sapphire…” He muttered, waiting for Hughes to approach. But for some reason. the bastard never did.
Herman gave him an astonished look after hearing Zachary’s almost discreet words, “Is that what you were doing outside, dude? Talking to Sapphire Zephyr?” Zach’s face turned red and he flipped his bangs in the way so no one could tell that a blush was quickly spreading like a plague across his face.
“Um…y…yeah…” He stuttered, hoping no one else overheard him. However, someone did. Well, actually…that someone was the whole damned table! Suddenly, a couple dozen gazes were all upon him now and the awkwardness was insufferable. Just then, a fist connected with Indo’s skull which jolted him backwards.
“AH FUCK! What’d ya do that for?!” He shrieked in pain, just as a hand pulled the whining boy by his collar.
“Shut it, Indo,” Slaughter thought he whispered this but actually shouted. “No one’s supposed to know about us, numb nuts!” Chuckles sounded rather noticeably from the lips of the children at the lunch table.
Just when things began to settle down and people went on with eating, Ty had observed an usually large amount of jocks and preps gathering in one corner of the room. From within the swarm of kids, a girl’s muffled yelps of pain could be faintly heard. Zach was WAY too blazed to notice this and commenced shoveling countless plates of cafeteria food down his throat. A few minutes went by and Ty finally realized Slaughter still had not observed the strange scene in the corner of the lunch room so he struck the drugged teenager in the arm. “Eh Zach, some shit’s goin’ down over yonder, mate! And I think yer girl’s got somethin’ ta do with it!” Ty’s Australian accent was fairly evident when he got excited.” A fist returned at lightning speed, but stopped just two inches away from the Aussie’s face.
Slaughter leaned in and kind of yelled when he spoke but was trying to conceal his voice from everyone at the table, “WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY? YOU MEAN SAPPHIRE’S WITH THOSE LOSERS?!?!” This did, however, bring attention once again but no one knew what the hell the two were wailing about. Right away, Zach knew there would be no good in Ms. Zephyr being in a circle of Hughes’ friends since she was wearing HIS jacket with the words “Slaughter” on the back. Just then, a thought made its way to Zach‘s head. Weston’s so-called girlfriend was pleading with every ounce of her life for Zachary to kick his ass and take her away from him…
Slaughter’s fists clenched tightly together and his eyes went red with fury. As quick as he stood, he was already at the frontline of the circle. While brutally checking into a mass amount of kids, he made it through immediately and discovered exactly what he had feared to see. Hughes had poor Sapphire on the ground and was slapping her around like a rag doll. The leather jacket that read Zachary’s last name on the back was thrown a little ways away from her. The pissed off voice of Zach was deep and terrifying, echoing and hissing like a demon’s growl, “YOU SON OF A BITCH, TAKE YOUR FILTHY FUCKING HANDS OFF HER!” He boomed.
Weston kicked Ms. Zephyr in the stomach and stood, approaching Slaughter, “You say something, bitch?” He taunted, trying to drown out Slaughter calling him out. Others commented and made some stupid cynical remarks, but it did not faze Zachary who had already made a move towards Hughes. The jock wasn’t fast enough and caught a fast blow to the nose. Blood began to drip down his face, causing the woman beater to run in swinging. But pure brutality did not match quick thinking AND brutality, as Zach ducked under the blows and pummeled him in the stomach. Weston jumped back and caught his breath, running in again and finally skimming Slaughter on the chin. This caused his teeth to crack but it was nothing too serious. Back again came Zachary, his fists returning Hughes’ swing to his chin, but WAY MORE SKILLFUL. Every hit caused the jock to spit blood from biting his lip, this match was in the hole.
Things were looking up for the half-baked goth boy, but maybe someone should have taught Slaughter NOT to celebrate his win before a fight is over because no one would have expected what came next. A shiny black dagger was handed to Weston as he thrust it quickly into Zach’s stomach three times. Luckily, his adrenaline was pumping and kept the pain from surfacing, but this tempted his anger to beastly proportions, causing Zachary to throw the stabber against the wall and grip him tightly by the jugular. “You…dirty…little…fucking…rat…you want to play games and try to kill me…I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU‘RE SORRY SOUL WILL BE MINE!” Slaughter howled as if the Dark Lord had permeated through the troubled boy’s heart and engulfed his mind in pure malice. Fists seemed to fly from every direction as Zachary had literally beaten Hughes to a bloody pulp.
After the mess had cleared, a security guard finally approached the sight of the brawl (took him long enough) and threw Zach, who was thrashing like a fighting bull, against a table, handcuffing him. “Boy, when the cops get here you‘ll be going away for a long time, you little fucking psycho!” Stated the guard. But Zachary had an objection to ‘going away’ and quickly bent a safety pin from his pants so it fit perfectly into the keyhole. The rent-a-cop turned to talk on his walkie-talkie as Slaughter awaited the clicking sound that meant the lock was open, until finally it had come. The cuffs suddenly dropped off his wrists, signaling him to make a break for Sapphire, who was still lying on the ground. It was then that Zach had acknowledged the rapidly bleeding stab wounds in his stomach, the pain finally reaching his head. He ran as fast and hard as he could, just reaching the badly injured Ms. Zephyr before dropping to his knees and coughing up blood.
“Sapphire…please…wake…up…” Breathed Slaughter, his eyes beginning to water. His pleading was answered then and there when she half-opened those stunning icy blue eyes that the poor boy had fallen in love with not too long ago.
“Zach…you…you’re here…I can’t…thank you enough for being…with me…for the last time…” Sapphire gulped for air as she spoke, blood drizzling out of her mouth and down the side of her cheek.
Zachary gently caressed her face soothingly as he leaned in, “Baby girl, don’t say that! It’s not the end Sapphire, this is NOT the fucking end. I will NOT let you die…not unless I die first…” People watched as the seemingly emotionless kid poured his soul out to this girl, “How is this fair?! He almost killed you angel, and I get stabbed all because the stupid cunt couldn’t defend himself and had to beat up on a girl! I LOVE YOU SAPPHIRE! But this world isn’t going to let us be together one way or another, so please…just stay with me until one of us fades out of existence…“ After those final words, Slaughter kissed Ms. Zephyr’s sweet lips one more time before collapsing onto her chest. Sapphire eyes began cascading tears, but it hurt her to even cry, so she let the pains slowly put her to sleep as well.
The whole lunch room was in dead silence, some kids were crying, some were enraged, some were even afraid, but none could make a sound that would shatter the twisted serenity that loomed over the room. Nothing seemed to happen for the longest duration of time until finally, red and blue lights flashed and the door was kicked in. Policemen and women wielding riot batons and bean bag shotguns rushed across the cafeteria and headed towards the circle of people, “Where is he?” One of the officers asked the security guard that Slaughter escaped from. The guard pointed toward Zach who was almost drowning in a pool of his own blood, keeping a death grip on Sapphire. But the officer shook his head in shame and ran towards the badly bleeding boy. “Are you that fucking ignorant and stubborn? I hear this kid picked the lock on your handcuffs, which you can’t even put him in because you’re a security guard, but he’s bleeding, maybe to death!”
The security guard puffed out his chest, “Th…that kid is a sadistic being, you’d know if you saw him fight so I’d put him away if I were you…”
A fist slammed into the table behind the security guard, “DON’T YOU EVER TELL ME HOW TO DO MY MOTHERFUCKING JOB YOU FAT SLOB OF A DISGRACE TO UNIFORM!” Warned the cop. “Look, just get the fuck away from me and put those two kids on a stretcher.”
The rent-a-cop gave the real man in uniform a strange look, “You’re not going to send that kid lying against the wall to the hospital?”
The policeman nodded his head, “We’ll send him there, but he’ll be going there in the back of a squad car, I don’t think Mr. Slaughter and Ms. Zephyr will live long unless they go NOW. Zach Slaughter is a hero anyway, simple as that. Anyone who would take three stab wounds or a bullet to stop someone like Weston Hughes from beating up a girl is a fucking hero. Oh yes, I almost forgot… from what I’ve heard from the principal, your absence during the fight is landing you in the unemployment line, just so you know, sir.” The security guard’s jaw dropped as the police officer walked away, picking up a radio and saying something into it that was gibberish to the wannabe pig.
------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------

Two Days Later:
Zach awoke with a pain he had never felt before. It had been as if a vampire hunter had driven a stake into his belly over and over and over again until his entrails had leaked out onto the hospital floor. Looked like it too, the three two inch stab wounds were insignificant compared to the incision that was now right in the middle of where the punctures were. Slaughter had guessed the dagger’s blade had pierced his liver, small intestine…large intestine…spleen…something like that, and the hospital had fixed him up. Just then, a knock came at the door and Slaughter told the knocker to come in. Five kids in black hoods flooded into the room and stood over him, staring down maliciously. Zachary looked up, shaking his head slowly, “Look man, if you‘re wanting to take my life, do it before I can stand up because Lucifer WILL give me enough energy and power to cast you all into Hell.” The hooded children stood, staring at him through dark eyes and holding a sharpened meat cleaver, a hand scythe, an ice pick, a clawed hammer, and the dagger that was used to stab him two days ago .
This caused the injured boy to stand slowly and lean in towards the others, “Are you going to drop the hoods and let me see my killer’s faces? You at least got to give me that before I die.” The kids nodded and cautiously lowered their only facial cover they had, except for the one with the ice pick. Two of them were of course Hughes‘ friends, but two of them, to Zachary’s surprise, were Indo and Ty!
Ty spoke, “Oi, sorry mate…it was either we kill you or Weston and his friends kill us…”
“Yeah man…” Stated Indo, “They like…wanted to kill us and…stuff…” Ty sighed at this and punched the fried-out kid in the chest
“I already covered that part, jackass! Why don’t ya just keep yer mouth shut and help us DO THE JOB!” Threatened Ty.
The other three were fed up with Zach’s ex friends arguing, so the kids with the hand scythe and the dagger approached from behind, letting both blades slowly slide across the boys’ great veins in their throats and causing the white walls to be painted a scarlet hue. In an instant, both had lost too much blood and died. The hooded kid with the ice pick, obviously the leader because of how he ordered everyone around, told the two to take care of his neighbor next. Zachary didn’t flinch at his friends dying but when he had realized who his neighbor was and her coming fate, all pains left. It was Sapphire, finding this out caused his veins to pump adrenaline through every inch of his body once again, the HUGE slice that ran from the bottom of his chest to the lower stomach had been forgotten as he ran into battle like an unarmed PCP crazed junkie. When Slaughter had finally reached the two, he started swinging like a monkey. Two of Weston’s friends took multiple blows at insane speeds, their bodies absorbing every hit until they dropped their weapons, stunned.
“Catch this, bitch!” Exclaimed Zach as he pulled a spin kick maneuver right in the face of the boy with a hand scythe. The move actually killed the kid, caving his facial structure in. Slaughter flipped the scythe up in the air with his other leg and lifted the remaining kid off the ground with the blade through his throat. Another one down, but one still to go. A sudden burst of shock caught him unaware, he had forgotten about poor Ms. Zephyr, who’s life the leader now had in his hands. The ice pick was pulled high into the air and was jabbed down, right when Zach had caught the killer’s hand. “You…will not take her life! I’VE ALREADY MADE THIS CREED! NOT UNLESS I FALL FIRST!”
The boy laughed, “Then get ready to die…!” He cried as the ice pick was stabbed into the sewn up wound and slid downward. Suddenly, Zachary’s intestines dropped out of the incision and he hit the floor. “S…shit…I‘ve failed you for the last time…Sapphire…” He gasped as his life ended in a gory puddle of insides and blood. For a moment, the leader stood there in awe at the destruction he had caused, with help of his now dead friends and the dead target, Slaughter. All he needed to do was take out the girl and he would have all the glory to himself, but as he went to drop the blade on her and end Ms. Zephyr’s existence, a terrifying roar had stopped him from completely sliding the weapon in. The sound seemed to come from the dead mess of guts and crimson liquid spilled out on the floor, but that was impossible.
“Zach is dead…” The murderer assured himself, “and nothing in THIS world can bring him back…” This statement would soon be proved true.
A sadistic laugh broke out of nowhere and was so disturbing, it caused the boy to nearly piss himself. “LORD HADES…I AM YOUR VESSEL FROM WHICH YOU CAN CONTROL THIS WORLD…GIVE ME ULTIMATE POWER THAT FAR SURPASSES LIFE AND IN RETURN…I SHALL CAUSE UNPARALLELED HAVOC UPON THIS MORTAL REALM IN YOUR NAME!” The bloody, lifeless body of Zachary Slaughter rose, levitating off the ground as he swiped his limp hand across the gigantic mess spilling from his abdomen. Then, like some kind of magic, every trace of any kind of wound on his whole body disappeared. “Ah…alive again… and as the living dead I get to claim your friend’s essences, which pretty much means their souls belong to me.” Multicolor orbs floated above the corpses on the ground, sat there for a second, then was drawn in like a powerful vacuum into the demon’s hand.
His muscles writhed and grew a little bit, eyes glowing with power, “Yes…this is what I have longed for…I WILL MAKE THEM ALL PAY FOR ALLOWING MY BEAUTIFUL SAPPHIRE TO RECEIVE A FATE LIKE THIS! GET READY FOR VINDICATION AT ITS WORST!!!”
The hooded kid with the ice pick was now mortified by this devilish beast, he stepped back and threw the weapon with all his might. Adding to his own horror, the pick stopped in midair and twirled around. He dropped to his knees and groveled for his own life, “Please…I’m begging you…I don’t want to die…please find it in your heart to spare m…” He could not finish. The tool had flown through the boy’s shoulder and stuck him to the wall. Zachary approached him slowly, ripping out the ice pick.
“You better listen good you little mother fuck because this is the one time I’m going to tell you this. I hate beggars, when you and your moronic friends tried to kill me, did I fucking beg? No…I’ve smashed them all like puny little flies with my own strength as a fly swatter. You’ve dug your own grave, Lyle Welter…you will see what happens when you play games with the Devil… because he plays a hundred times as hard!”
The hooded boy stood, dumbstruck. “How…the fuck did you know my name, I‘m wearing a voice changer under a mask AND I‘m hooded…on top of that, you‘ve never met me before, SO HOW DO YOU KNOW?!”
Slaughter chuckled with a sinister grin, “I can see through your soul…it isn’t that hard, really.” Things were starting to annoy the demigod a little too much, so he put his hand out toward Lyle, “ Look…you’re life really bores me, do you realize that? I think it’d be a simply superb idea for me to put a bland being like yours out of continuation.” Zachary began to chant something inaudible to Lyle’s ear, his hand gaining a deep black glow. A sudden flash sent the wannabe murderer flying through the air as he hit the wall, “INVERSION!” Zach bellowed, turning the boy completely inside out with that one command. In a flash, a large portion of the hospital staff and a flock of policemen and women came rushing in to find the graphic scene that was once Slaughter’s room only to realize that Zachary was not amongst the dead. In fact, they later deducted that he was nowhere to be found, Sapphire Zephyr was missing from her bed and a window had been broken near it.
___________________________________________________________________ ___


Somewhere in a secluded area at the outskirts of town:


Zach huddled around his quickly fading love, her heart beating slower and slower by the second and the scarlet flowing ever so abundantly from her side. Blood red streams of tears were slowly dripping onto Sapphire’s face as he held her to his chest, her breathing was starting to become very faint. He sat there for quite some time, then sighed and finally spoke, “You make me love her, god…then…you take her away? What have I learned from this? Now you know why I follow the ways of the devil and curse your name. I wish Lucifer had given me powers to heal others as well…! I…I want to speak to her one more time, just to hear that sweet voice say my name…it’d be like I‘d actually been released from this pain and joined her in heaven. But…knowing I shall never see her again, not even in the afterlife…it’s…unbearable! I love Sapphire Zephyr and I always WILL!!!”
A small gasp for air caught his attention as he looked down at her bloody face, “I…love you too Zach…but… god didn’t make you love me, your heart made you love me, as mine made me love you, you’ve made me the happiest girl to ever live. In a couple days…you save my life twice and die once doing it, you‘ve cheated death to be by my side.” It had appeared that her whole body was overwhelmed with a rush of horror, “My life…I can feel it slipping fast…please Zachary, hold me closer I don’t want to leave you!” She suddenly flinched from the overwhelming agony in her side.
And so he did hold her, as close as he could. But too close to notice that her last quart of blood had leaked out onto his muscle shirt, her lips had turned an icy blue, and her body temperature had plummeted dramatically. “I don’t want you to leave me, either Sapphire. And you won’t, I WON’T LET HEAVEN, HELL OR ANYBODY ELSE HAVE YOU…NO ONE BUT ME!!!” His voice caused her body to warm up a bit.
Ms. Zephyr worked with all her might to form a smile, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, my dark and handsome hero…I belong to no one but you and that is how it shall stay, but I must leave you soon…”
A lump formed in Slaughter’s throat and it was hard for him to breathe, “Don’t say that angel…please…please tell me you’re coming back to me!!!”
The bled out girl had the grace of a dying swan as she moved her hair out of her eyes to see him better and shook her head, “I can’t…my destiny isn’t here with you, although I love you with every ounce of my soul! It’s in the heavens with my long-lost friends and family members, they’re calling me Zachary. You fulfilled your promise, dying once and protecting until my last breath There’s only one selfish favor I ask of you…kiss me one last time…like a gift for my departure…” She made it sound so casual…
He tried to speak up, but his throat was dry and scratchy, producing no sound whatsoever. Finally, words came, but loud and overexcited, “YES MY DEAR…I PROMISE I WILL MAKE IT THE KISS OF YOUR LIFETIME!”
She weakly leaned up towards him, her eyes slowly closing, “Then kiss me, my love. I want your lips against mine…”Zach lifted her head up to his and he gently, but firmly pulled her into the deepest and most sensual embrace she had ever experienced. They savored each other’s tastes for what seemed like hours (but was only two minutes) as she gripped his hand tightly. But those precious two minutes quickly gave out as the pain in her side completely disappeared and her grip on life was slowly loosening, as was her grip on Zach’s hand. Then, like a lit candle in the wind, her life blew out and her existence went cold.
Zach noticed this and pulled her away, propping himself against a tree and letting her lay on his chest. “Lie here and rest in peace, my delicate flower…perhaps heaven doesn’t deserve such a perfect soul within its gates but then again…I have no choice but to let them have you. Maybe if I redeem myself, I’ll be able to see you again, until then…please don’t forget me either way.”
The last of Ms. Zephyr’s energy seemed to go into a small grin as she whispered her final words, “I’ll always remember you…if you remember me…” A sorrowful breeze whistled through the branches as if on cue when her life had ended. Zachary gazed into the blue, cloudless sky, “I’ll always remember you as well…”
Suddenly, the sound of a police siren jolted Zach out of his solemn trance, “MISTER SLAUGHTER, WHAT THE FUCK WENT ON HERE?!?!?” Cried the policeman that a few days earlier had called Zachary a hero.
A bloody tear ran down the demigod’s cheek, “He killed her, sir…” His voice had lost the demonic tone. “That kid who’s inside out in my hospital room…that bastard took my Sapphire away from me…”The officer cautiously approached Slaughter, knowing he is unstable, “Y…you killed those kids, son?”
“Yeah…” Zach replied, “I’m a heartless beast, I know, but they were all sent to eliminate Ms. Zephyr and I, so…”“So you fought for what was right once again? Jesus…I wish things like this wouldn’t have to happen to a person like you…”The heavily burdened kid shrugged his shoulders like it was all nothing, “Shit happens and will continue to happen, sir…unless I disappear if you catch my drift. In a couple years, I will resurface but as a metal singer. People will not recognize me as a hero or a monster anymore…they will see me as a GOD OF ROCK AND ROLL!!!”
The cop kind of understood, “I’ll tell them you disappeared without a trace but I’ll give them your story as a hunch to what happened, got it?”
Zachary nodded, “Thanks man…I knew you’d understand…oh yeah…one of these days I gotta do you a favor as well, I owe you one…make sure they know what really went down…”
With that, he vanished into the air, leaving behind a teary-eyed policeman who screamed for help, “We got another body…it’s…Sapphire Zephyr…but Zach Slaughter is no where to be found. I fear someone may have escaped and taken his body.” The rest of his squad scouted the scene of the crime and found enough evidence to prove that Zachary had killed the boys out of self defense and that Sapphire fell to the boy with the black dagger. As the officer that saved Zach and Ms. Zephyr before started towards his car, he heard a faint voice of a girl in the sky, “You and Zachary are both heroes now…” The policeman just nodded and started his squad car, driving off…
“Thank you Sapphire, I’m glad I was there for you two in your time of need…” He responded quietly.
