Azkadellia walked to Zero's cell. Eight annuals had passed since the Battle of the Eclipse and Zero was up for parole. He was suprised to see her.
" After all these annuals you visit now. My parole must've been turned down." Zero chuckled.
" It was." Az simply said. She turned to the guards. " I would like some time alone with him." The guards hesitated."Now!" They left.
Zero laughed. " You still have the ability to strike fear in people's hearts. I wondered if that died with the witch."
" You miss her?"
Zero's face got serious. " No. You know I hated that bitch. I stayed for you. Everything I did during the witch's reign was to protect you. "
" Somehow I knew that but you do have a sadistic side."
" Yeah I'll cop to that. You secretly loved it though. The power I weilded. I saw the fire in your eyes and I know it wasn't the bitch."
" Your annoyingly charming. Why did you make a pass at me?"
" I wanted to but I would have bedded the witch not you. I wanted you not her. She was frigid but you were fiery. You still are. "
" Any regrets, Zero?"
" Protecting you from the O.Z. ,from the witch, never. Wish you would visit though on happier occassions ." he grinned.
" I regret meeting you. You had so much promise but you threw that away. For me. I'm sorry for the way things turned out. I'm sorry for helping create the monster you became to shield me. I'm sorry we missed our chance."
" Who says we missed it ? Neither of us are dead. We could make do with what is given us. Plus you kinda owe me for all I did for you." He gave her a wicked grin.
" You want a mercy fuck? Has life here been that bad your turning to me for sex?"
His smile turned into a cold glare. " I don't need this. " He got up to get a guard. Az blocked him. She kissed him. Zero, in your own sick, twisted way you loved me, didn't you?"
He answered with a fevered kiss. She locked the door with her magic. She wanted no interuptions or witnesses. An hour later she emerged from the holding room. Her lips swollen and walking a little funny. The guards noticed Zero licking his lips with a huge grin. They swore they heard him mutter. " It was worth it. Selling my soul,everything."
Ten months later Azkadellia came back to visit him. She wasn't alone. She carried with her a blonde newborn. Zero was shocked to say the least. She handed him their daughter. For a short while his cold demeanor faded. He actually looked up at Az and smiled. " I named her Zoe. Finally after so much death we caused ,we finally made life." Az smiled as father and daughter bonded.
