Hey guys! Hope your liking it so far and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Here is my Christmas present to you.. My next update after that amazing cliffhanger! =P Anyway, hope you like it all you Zammie fans! Here we go...

I was dragged farther into the alleyway, quickly turned around, picked up and thrust against the brick wall. I was frightened, I admit it. I had shut my eyes closed, afraid of what I would see. I knew my chances of it not being a COC agent were quite slim. Shit.

I had only just begun to find answers and I was already caught. I was one of the worst spies ever! Not to mention that I couldn't even tail Zach.

After a couple of seconds. The suspense was killing me. I had to see who my captor was, even if I didn't like who it was.

I slowly, and timidly opened them, unsure if I wanted to see this. I was met with startlingly, piercing green eyes that I had, long ago, gotten lost in more than once. I almost blushed.

"Zach." I breathed. I was flooded with relief. I even felt like leaning down and giving him a kiss, right then and there.

But he only pushed me harder against the wall, it actually kind of hurt. He growled at me, giving me a dark look as if he was demon straight from the fiery pits of hell, "Who are you, and how do you know my name?"

I then remembered that he wasn't supposed to know anything. I zipped my lip and refused to answer.

"Tell me!" he growled again, louder this time.

"I am Tia Vanire." I choked out. Surprised by Zach's feircness and my longing to kiss him blocking my chances of speaking. This Zach frightened me, a lot.

"I don't believe you." He growled again this time raising his voice even louder, his voice angry and rugged. I saw his arms twitch as if ready to punch me in the face.

"Let me go! Please!" I sobbed, losing my accent in the scariness of my problem. Zach looked almost hotter in his angry state.

He dropped me immediately. His face shocked beyond belief. So shocked even, that I felt like bursting into laughter, no matter how hysterical or insane it felt.

It was quite hysterical really. Him only realizing now even though the store bought dye was already washing out of my hair and I just expected to have a soul connection with him even if I didn't want to admit it.

"Gallagher Girl," Zach whispered in utter disbelief, "Is it really you?" He was shocked to say the least. I could even see hope glimmering on and off his face as if he wasn't sure if he should even let himself hope.

"Hi, Zach." I gulped. This so wasn't a goo idea. Not a good idea in the least.

Happiness swelled across Zach's face. As if his dreams had finally come true.

He swiftly let me down and then pulling me towards him, tenderly kissed me. I can't say that I didn't kiss him back either, that would be a lie.

I had missed Zach so much. I really did and thats why it was all the harder to have to do what I did next. As we kissed, I took out the note I had written to him, and the bug, and slid it into his pocket.

"You have to come back, to the safety of the academy." Zach whispered against my lips.

But you see, I couldn't go back. I couldn't go back to the 'safety' of the academy because I didn't like how other people risked their lives for me. The only thing I hated more was that they always kept me in the dark. I hated when I was excluded from all of the important information. So I told Zach that.

He nodded as if he understood but I really don't thing he did. I think it was more out of sympathy and in order to keep me with him.

He broke of the kiss looked at me in disbelief as if he didn't even believe I was standing

right there in front of him. "You have to Gallagher Girl, for me. Please." He pleaded with me. I could barely resist him either.

I swooped in and began to kiss him again. Hungrier this time. I really, really, really didn't want to leave him. But I had to protect him as well.

"I'm sorry Zach." I whispered against his hard lips, "I really gave to go. I'm sorry." I broke away.

Zach reached out to me, immobilised by my words. "Gallagher girl!" He said urgently. But I was already running. In the last second before I made it out of the alley way I slowed down and looked behind me.

Zach's face had crumpled in defeat. I couldn't stand seeing him this way. "I am really sorry Zach. I will be back." I shouted. I felt like giggling when I repeated The Terminator's last words but it really didn't feel right . I was too depressed already.

I then turned and ran, disappearing from Zachary Goode's sight.

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you liked this! Please Read and Review!
