(A/n) Darkness writing again. Time for something sad. I'm not even sure what I'm really writing but let's go with it, shall we? This is a joint OC, Zera, between Exhilarating, wwB and me. wwB adopted her off of DA, Exhilarating threw in her two cents as did I. Meh, this is a little drabble about Zera and how she killed Zuke, another joint OC that wwB adopted. So enjoy.

Zera felt the rain sting her skin as the tears rolled down her cheeks, the salty liquid from her eyes mixing with the fresh water from the sky. She hadn't realized how much blood he had lost until it was all gone, his PAK shorted out. The magenta-eyed Irken plopped to the ground, cradling the body in her arms mere moments after killing him.

"I am so sorry, Zuke." She murmured, his blood staining her undisguised face. "I'm so sorry." She looked at his mangled face through the blur of rain and tears. Zera swore it looked as if he were smiling gently at her. No mischievous pranks waiting behind the corner, no surprise guest asleep on her couch, just quiet in place of his rambunctious noise. She got to her feet, the rain pounding her, her skin burning with a new pain, as if she were just realizing how much it hurt when water hit her skin. Zera wiped her eyes, eyeliner smearing as she picked up Zuke's cold body. She cradled it in her thin but strong arms and began trudging back to her base. She sluggishly splashed through the puddles on her sidewalk, the pain burning with a new intensity. Her bony shoulders shuddered as she cried.

Zera opened the door to her base, dripping wet as she dropped to the floor. The rain washed away all of his blood from his body and hers alike. Steam curled off of her skin as she savored the pain from that and her heart both, having guilt weigh her down to the point where she felt as if she couldn't move.

"It is funny how he always wanted me to love him." Zera rasped, laughter dry. "And now that he is dead, I realized how much I actually do." A broad grin peeled across her face, laughing as tears poured down her face. Zera chuckled sorrowfully as her hand felt across his chest, touching all the scars she had given him for her enjoyment of his pain. Her hand moved to her arm, feeling the scars she gave herself for enjoyment of pain, they were so prominent they could be felt through her sleeve. Zera peered outside, the rain was only a drizzle. I should not bury him here... He deserves to be on Irk for that. But I cannot get back. All she could do was cradle his body as comfort for herself. And one could possibly imagine her shock as his arms draped themselves gently over her shoulders.

"Hey Zera." He muttered.

She glared at him. "I thought you were dead."

"Me too." Zuke smiled, regaining his strength. "It'll take a while to recover from that one though."

Zera tore away, glaring at him while smiling. "When you feel better, I am going to kill you."

"Love ya too, Zers." Zuke chuckled.

(A/n) Next post will probably be Exhilarating, she's been working on something supposedly... Well tell me what you thought so I may improve. Please, do not go to wwB and bitch. At least go to Exhilarating and me first. Because they are JOINT CHARACTERS. I normally would've had Zuke stay dead but, meh. It's a drabble for the drabble bank.
