Greeting loyal readers. I want to thank you all for reading the first chapter and now here is chapter 2 for all of you. I hope you all enjoy it and please remember to review afterwards so I know how I am doing on this.
I finished eating quickly, though I made mom mad because she thought I was going to choke from eating so fast. Fortunately Val wasn't there to make me even more mad. I went back to my room and went back to playing video games for a little longer. "Zak come out of your room for a little bit." Fisk said as he came into my room.
"No." I said flatly with out taking my eyes away from the game.
"But..." I cut him off.
"No Fisk." I said pausing my game and looking at him.
"Fine Zak. Be Mr. Antisocial." Fisk said before leaving. Why do I have a feeling Val taught him that?
"I hate her so much." I mumbled to myself as I un-paused my game. I played for a little longer before I heard a crash come from the hallway. "What did she do now?" I asked as I turned off my game and stood up to check it out. I walked out into the hall to see Komodo with his head through a wall. "Komodo." I said as I went over to try and pull him free.
"We were playing a game and Komodo's head went though the wall in the process." Fisk said as he came out into the hall. How did I know that was going to be the excuse.
"You guys are idiots." I said as I tried to pull him free again. Suddenly he came free and fell on me. I then noticed Val through the hole in the wall.
"Oops. You shouldn't have been behind him." Val said as she came out into the hall. I pushed Komodo off of me and stood up.
"Why don't you just get lost already!" I said furious as I stormed back into my room.
"He doesn't mean that." I heard Fisk say before I shut the door completely. I pressed my ear to the door to hear them.
"Hey it doesn't bother me. Being who or better said what I am, lots of people want me gone." Val said to Fisk and Komodo.
"What are you?" Komodo asked her.
"Now that my friend, is a secret. At least for now." Val said and then I heard them run off. I hate her so much. I laid down in my bed and turned on the movies channel of my TV.
"God its hot in here." I said as I pulled my shirt off. I picked a movie out and just laid in bed watching it.
"Zak sweety its time for bed." Mom said through my door.
"Alright mom." I said through a yawn and I stood up and pulled my belt off. I pulled the covers back and laid back down to continue to watch the movie for a little longer. I fell asleep a little bit later.
"Zak wake up." Fisk shook me awake again.
"No Fisk. Its too early to get up." I said as I pulled the covers over my head.
"Fine I'll get Val to wake you up then. She can dump water on you." Fisk taunted me.
"Screw Val. She isn't allowed in my room." I said as I rolled over onto my side.
"She's out in the hall right now. I'll go get her." Fisk said as he started to walk for the door.
"If I see her in my room I'll kick her out the window." I said as I buried my head into my pillow to try and go back to sleep.
"You always this lazy Mr. Kur?" I heard that familiar voice say a minute later. I sat up to see Val leaning against my door frame with Fisk hiding behind her. "I'm technically not in your room lazy boy." Val said with amusement laced in each word.
"Get out of here now!" I yelled angrily as I threw back the covers and stood up.
"There you go Fisk. He's out of bed." Val said as she started to walk away. I hate her so much! I wish I could through her out of the airship but mom and dad would kill me if I did. I went to the bathroom and then got changed into my day clothes.
"Hey sweety I have something to tell you that your probably not going to like." Mom said as she came into my room. Oh great now what.
"What mom?" I asked still irritated with how I was woken up.
"Wadi's father has to go on important Hassi business so she is going to be coming here to stay with us for a day or two." Mom said quietly. Oh no. I was almost done being upset.
"Mom we cant have her here! Why cant she go stay with someone else!" I said upset over the news.
"I'm sorry honey. I know you are still upset about what happened but we are the only ones who can watch her right now." Mom said as she tried to hug me. I dodged her.
"Why do you have to make things harder for me!" I yelled before running out of my room.
Valora
Fisk, Komodo and I were busy talking when Zak suddenly ran through the room full speed. "What's up with him?" I asked as I turned to Fisk. Fisk and Komodo are the first and so far only ones that I know of that trust me.
"Mom probably told him that Wadi has to come and stay with us for a few days." Fisk said as he stood up.
"I take it that Wadi is the one who broke up with him?" I asked as I stood up as well.
"Yeah she broke up with Zak a week ago." Komodo said as we all started to walk down the hall.
"What happened?" I asked as we turned down the hall we saw him run down.
"Sorry Zak doesn't want us to talk about it. It was really bad though. Zak hasn't left his room since as you've noticed." Fisk explained to me.
"Yeah I noticed." I said as I felt the airship land.
"Feels like we're here." Komodo said as I heard light crying coming from down the hall.
"I hear him." I stated as I put my arms out to stop Fisk and Komodo.
"Lets leave him alone. He doesn't want anyone near when he's upset." Fisk said as he picked me up. I pushed off and quickly created a cloud to float on.
"I'm good I can walk Fisk." I said with a smirk behind my mask.
Zak
Why does Wadi have to come stay with us? This is just going to make things harder for me. I sat alone in the med lab and just let my tears flow down my face. "Zak are you in here?" I heard mom call as she came into the med lab. "Oh sweety." Mom said when she saw me huddled in the corner crying.
"Just leave her here. Her dad doesn't have to know." I said as I wiped away my tears..
"Sweety we cant do that and you know that. I know it still hurts right now but maybe having her here will help you stop hurting." Mom said as she hugged me.
"More like make me feel worse." I said as I pulled away.
"Well she is waiting for you by your room sweet heart." Mom said before walking out of the room. Oh come on! Now I cant even go back to my own room. I might as well get it over with now though. I stood up and walked out of the med lab and started to walk for my room.
"Hello Zak." Wadi said as I turned the corner onto my hall. I felt like my heart was going to burst from the pain of seeing her. There was a sudden flash and the next thing I knew Val was standing in front of me with Fisk and Komodo.
"Mr. Saturday has no time for play little girl." Val said as she blocked my view of Wadi.
"Um who are you to tell me that?" Wadi asked as I moved over a little to see her.
Val chuckled lightly and Fisk and Komodo moved away from her. What is she doing. "Zak's protector." Val said rolling up a sleeve on her shirt. I noticed the Sumerian symbol right away. It was my symbol. Kur. There was another below it but I don't know what it means.
"And that concerns me why?" Wadi asked and I could tell just by her voice she was getting irritated.
"Because you bring stress, anger, and sadness to Mr. Kur, and I cant have that now can I." Val said as she snapped a finger and Fisk and Komodo moved back in front of me.
"Val get out of the way." I said as I tried to push past her, Fisk and Komodo. "You aren't my protector so get out of the way." I said as my hatred of her returned.
"Don't believe me on that do you? Believe this then." Valora said before removing her mask just enough for me to see her eyes. Her eyes had my Kur symbol in them with the same symbol that was on her wrist below them.
"Alright why don't you just leave so Zak and I can talk." Wadi said as Val replaced her mask.
"Hows about this instead." Val said as she clasped her hands together. "You leave my master alone and I wont pummel you into the ground like the tiny, insignificant, pebble on the face of this earth that you are." Val said rather smugly. Oh this isn't going to end well.
"Oh no you did not just call me insignificant." Wadi said angrily.
"Yes I did now be gone young wretch." Val said as I kept trying to get past her.
"That's it!" Wadi threw her thief yo-yo at Val but it burned up before it even got near her.
"Word of advice little girl. Don't mess with an elemental deity. Especially not me." Val said as her hand lit on fire.
"Val stop!" I yelled as I grabbed her and tried to push her out of the way. "I don't want you protecting me! I hate you to be specific! Now get out of my way and get out of my life!" I yelled angrily as I pushed her hard out of the way. She snapped her fingers and Fisk and Komodo moved out of the way for me.
"Be wise little girl. I have eyes and I can be here faster than the speed of light." Val said before she walked away with Fisk and Komodo trailing behind. What did she do to them? I knew she was just trying to use them.
"Well now we can talk finally." Wadi said as I watched the three disappear.
"Uh not right now." I said waving her off so I could go figure out what happened to Fisk and Komodo. I sped down the hall and when I turned the corner I collided with Fisk.
"What's the hurry?" Fisk asked as he picked me up.
"What did Val do to you guys to make you act that way before?" I asked as I checked to make sure he didn't have a mind control cufflink on him like Val did when we met.
"What are you talking about?" Fisk asked me like I was crazy. A second later I fell when the airship was shaken badly.
"What the hell was that?" I asked as Fisk helped me up again.
"Master." I heard that ill hiss that I remembered from back when I defeated Argost. I turned around to see an ugly green Naga slithering straight towards me.
"Oh why today." I said as I reached for my claw. The Naga spit something that hit my claw sending it flying into a wall. Where is Val when I need her. The Naga reached me and lifted me up by my shirt.
"Hey ugly!" I heard that familiar voice come from down the hall. "Let go of Mr. Saturday." Val said as she charged at the Naga full speed and when she hit it felt like a hurricane hit it. I was sent flying into the wall with my claw.
"Did you have to do that?" I asked as Val helped me up.
"It worked didn't it." Val said as she turned back to the Naga who was getting back up.
"Insolent human!" The Naga hissed angrily.
"Who are you calling a human!" Val said as her body lit on fire only this flame was blue. I backed away so that I wouldn't get burned from her. Where did Fisk go? "I ain't no human filthy Naga." Val snarled as she charged the Naga again and slammed him into the wall, burning him badly in the process. Man it would be awesome to use that in battle.
"Val I think he's had enough." I said as Val threw the Naga down the hall.
"Now he's had enough. Did he hurt you?" Val asked as she stopped flaming. How is it that she doesn't burn anything else in the hallway but what she is going after?
"No I'm fine. Why are you protecting me even when I told you I hated you and wanted you gone?" I asked confused that even though I've told her to her face I hate her, she keeps staying around.
"Because." Val said turning her back to me and starting to walk away.
"That's not an answer." I said as I followed.
"Yes it is Zak." Val said still walking.
"Alright then answer a few questions for me." I said as I stood in front of her to block her.
"Shoot." Val said crossing her arms in front of her.
"Why are you still around first of all." I asked as she pushed me aside and shot a ball of flame past me. I looked back to see the Naga fall back to the ground with a bad singe on its chest.
"I told you the answer to that one already. Next question." Val said keeping her eyes on the Naga behind me.
"Why do you always were that mask and cape?" I asked as she shot another fire ball behind me. I didn't look this time.
"Because I'd rather wear them then not." Val said before walking past me and over to the Naga. "Now I think I know what to do with you." Val said as she placed a hand on the Naga's head. It then started to freeze slowly. "Now that its on ice it can be removed from the airship easily." Val said as I walked over to the frozen Naga.
"Okay." I said still stunned that she was able to do that. I heard someone coming from the other hall and when I looked back up Val was gone. "Where did she go?" I wondered as I looked around.
"Zak are you okay?" Mom asked as she turned into the hallway.
"Yeah I'm fine. The Naga isn't but I am." I said as I moved away from the Naga.
"What happened to it?" Dad asked me as I noticed Fisk, Komodo and Wadi turn into the hallway as well.
"Val did that to it." I said as I looked away from Wadi.
"She did?" Mom asked as dad picked up the frozen Naga.
"Its still very much alive. Just cryogenically frozen I guess you could say." Dad said as he picked the Naga up. "I'll take it back to the lab." Dad said as he started to leave with the Naga. Mom followed him.
"Can we talk now Zak?" Wadi asked as she walked over to me.
"What's there to talk about with you." I said turning away from her to hide my pain.
"Zak I still want to be friends with you." Wadi said as I started to walk away from her.
"Wadi just go away will you." I said as I started to walk for my room.
"Zak I know your still upset about our break up but..." She stopped when Val appeared in front of me again.
"Did you not hear him? He said go away." Val said and I could hear the irritation in her voice.
"Why don't you just mind your own business." Wadi hissed angrily at her.
"Zak is my business to be precise little girl." Val said as her hand turned to ice.
"Quit calling me little girl! Your probably the same age as me." Wadi said angrily as I just watched them.
"Well you act like a little girl now scram before things get uglier than when you walked in." Val said which got Wadi really mad. This is not going to end well.
Wadi turned to me. "Zak please get your little servant to leave us alone so we can talk." Wadi said in her pleading voice that always got me to do what ever she wanted.
"Val..." Val cut me off.
"Nice try Wadi but I'm not going anywhere." Val said as she pulled off her mask. Her violet eyes stared back at me like they were piercing my soul until she turned back to Wadi. "Now I suggest you be on your way before you meet the same fate as that Naga." Val said as ice spikes grew on her hand.
"Alright Val go away now." I said pushing her away so she wouldn't try and hurt Wadi.
"Yeah listen to your master." Wadi agreed with me which I shot a glare at her.
"Shut it skank." Val replied with a snarl as her eyes changed from Violet to blood red. Oh no. Now things are going to go way bad.
"What did you just call me!" Wadi said furious as I quickly moved in between them.
"You heard me. I can see what your trying to do." Val said as my Kur symbol became visible in her eyes again with that other symbol below it.
"That's it I'm going to kill you!" Wadi said furious as I blocked her from getting to Val.
"You can't kill me. I am too strong for a human like you." Val snarled as she dropped her mask on the floor.
"Val go away now!" I said as I kept blocking them from attacking each other. "I don't need you trying to protect me every damn moment of my life so just get away from here." I said as my anger took over.
"As you wish then Mr. Saturday." Val said as her mask flew into her hands and a white cloud appeared below her feet. "Remember though Wadi. I have eyes so I will know if you try anything to further harm Zak." Val said before she floated away on her cloud.
"I hate her." Wadi said as Val turned onto a different hall.
"I heard that!" Val shouted back as I turned to Wadi.
"Alright now what do you want Wadi? Haven't you caused enough problems with me by now." I said as my sadness started coming back.
"Zak I'm sorry that you're so upset with me for breaking up with you but it was for the best." Wadi said as she put a hand on my shoulder I brushed it off quickly.
"How? What did I even do to make you want to break up with me?" I asked as I looked her in the eyes.
"Zak I just wasn't feeling that spark with you anymore. I'm sorry. We can still be friends though." Wadi said with a small smile.
"Yeah whatever." I said as I walked away from her.
"Zak." Wadi called after me as I went in my room and locked my door.
Valora
My turn. I turned back onto Zak's hallway and saw Wadi waiting at Zak's door. I cleared my throat rather loudly. "Mr. Saturday has no more time for you so go on and leave now." I said as I walked over to her.
"Why don't you just get away from here. Its not like your going to get Zak now that he's single." Wadi said with a snarl. I pulled my mask away and laughed at her comment.
"Wow are you dumb. Is that why you think I protect him is to get close to him? Boy you humans are idiotic organisms." I said as I dropped my mask against the wall.
"Then why else would you keep finding ways to come around here." Wadi said as I leaned against the wall.
"I'm a Kur protector idiot. That's what this means." I said showing her my marking again. "Why would I go after him?" I questioned as I folded my arms in front of me.
"Because your evil." Wadi said as I heard Zak listening on the other side of the door.
"Contrary to your beliefs I am in fact a good person. I just don't act the part around those who don't deserve it." I said with a smirk as I felt my eyes change color again. They change in accordance to my behavior or by my command. In this case it was command though. They changed to their golden color.
"Your the one who started this fight with me." Wadi said as I yawned in boredom.
"Actually you did when you caused harm to Zak." I said as I closed my eyes and looked down at the floor. "Now hows about you be a good little girl and leave." I said with a smirk as my mask flew back into my hand. "And that means now." I said as I sprouted a blue flame on the tip of my index finger.
"Fine but I'm not afraid of you." Wadi said as she stormed off.
"No one said you had to be." I said as I put my mask back on.
Zak
Man I wish Wadi would just leave me alone. I wish Val would leave and never come back more though. She isn't my protector. I don't need one. I'm fine as is. I laid down in my bed and watched TV for a while until mom came and got me for dinner. "Sweety you need to eat." Mom said as I just kept my eyes on the TV.
"I don't want to see Wadi." I said as mom turned off my TV.
"I know you don't sweet heart but she is going to be with us for a few days so that isn't really an option." Mom said as I sat up.
"Yes it is. I will just stay in here until she goes home." I said as I grabbed the remote off of my nightstand and turned my TV back on.
"Zak you have to eat though." Mom said turning my TV off again.
"I'll eat later when Wadi isn't around." I said as I turned my TV back on. Mom sighed.
"Fine Zak but you better eat later." Mom said as she walked out of my room. I jumped up and locked my door then went back to my TV. I ate something later before bed so I knew I wouldn't run into Wadi.
"Zak sweety its time for bed. Did you eat yet?" Mom asked as she came into my room.
"Yeah mom I did." I said as I put down my video game controller.
"Alright then. Good night Zak." Mom said as she kissed me on the head.
"Night mom." I said before she left my room. I re-locked my door and went back to my game for a little longer before I started to feel tired. I turned off my game and got into my pajamas for bed. I was about to get in bed when I heard a knock at my door.
"Oh great what do you want Wadi?" I asked as I opened my door.
"Zak can we please talk about why we broke up before you start to plain hate me?" Wadi asked as I leaned against my door frame.
"No Wadi. I was about to go to bed so I suggest you do the same now." I said before I tried to close my door. Wadi put her foot in my door though to stop me.
"Zak I know that your really upset especially since I broke up with you over the video phone." Wadi said as she looked me in the eyes.
"Wadi go away or I'll call Val to get rid of you." I said now getting angry with her.
"Zak I still want to be friends with you though. I know your upset about it but I did it because I just wasn't feeling that spark I felt when we first started going out anymore.
"Wadi go back to your room now. I don't want to talk to you." I said as my sadness came over my anger.
"Zak..." I slammed my door on her and locked it. I went back to my bed and laid down. I felt like I wanted to cry but I held it in. I'm not going to cry anymore over her. I turned off my light and rolled over to go to sleep.
Valora
Insolent child doesn't know when to stop. I watched Wadi walk away from Zak's door and felt a spike of anger that she kept disobeying me. "I will deal with you when the time is right." I muttered to myself as I felt my eyes change color again.
"Deal with who?" Fisk asked as he came up behind me.
"Huh? Oh no one Fiskerton." I said as I put my back to the wall. "Why aren't you in bed?" I asked as I looked up into his eyes.
"I'm nocturnal. Why aren't you though?" Fisk asked as I heard someone coming down Zak's hallway.
"Same reason I guess. I don't need sleep." I lied to him. Technically I only need one hour of sleep and I'm good.
"Alright then." Fisk said as he walked away. I sighed in relief and looked back down Zak's hallway to see Wadi drop a note at his door.
"Insolent girl!" I hissed as I watched her walk away. I crept slowly down the hallway and picked up the note and opened it.
"Zak I know your really upset with me. I am sorry you are. I still want to be friends with you though even though we've broken up. I just wasn't feeling that spark anymore because we weren't around each other as much. I'm sorry again for the pain I've caused you. Wadi." Wadi wrote on the note. I burned the note in my hand and looked back to see if Wadi had been watching.
"Good." I said as I let the ashes fall to the ground. I then pulled out the little trinket I wanted to leave for Zak to aid him. I slid it under his door and walked away from his room. "He should appreciate that." I said as I cracked my knuckles.
"Who should appreciate what?" Komodo asked as I turned down a different hall.
"Let me guess your nocturnal too?" I asked as I looked down at Komodo.
"No. I'm just not tired. Who should appreciate what?" Komodo asked again as we started walking.
"I left a little something to lift Zak's mood a little. Maybe then he'll stop being so cranky and seclusive" I said as I kept my eyes ahead.
"What did you leave him?" Komodo asked me with curiosity laced in each word.
"Just a little trinket that should help lighten his bad mood due to his recent heart break from that insolent child Wadi." I said which I pretty much spat out Wadi's name.
"You really don't like Wadi." Komodo said in amusement.
"What do you think." I said as we walked into the containment unit area. "She brings pain to Kur who is under my protection right now." I said as I felt my markings pulse at the sheer mentioning of my protecting him.
"You are too strict." Komodo said as I opened up my unit. "You need to loosen up and have fun." Komodo said as I walked in.
"I would if that skank wasn't around." I said with a sneer as I sat down. "Good night Komodo." I said to him.
"Night Valora." Komodo said as he walked for the door. I laid down and let sleep take over my body easily.
Val sure doesn't like Wadi being around Zak. What was the thing that Val left for Zak? I hope you all enjoyed reading this! I am working hard on this for all of you. Thank you for reading and please remember to review for me.
