The Unknown World

Ziva watched Tony sleep. He snored and although that should bother he sensitive ears, it didn't. It was the smell that bothered her. He smelled like sweat and sex…And of course him-self, but that was not the point. He smelled bad to her, but she didn't have the heart to wake him. So she let him be as she held her breath.

She thought about last night as she waited for him to awake from his slumber. She had held back, she knew if she lost control of her-self, it wouldn't turn out well for anyone. She remembered when her mother talked to her about soul mates. She and Eli David were and still are soul mates. She said it was hard at first, but after there first night together, she didn't have to worry, saying something like if you can make it to the bed or wall as her mother had put it, something in your vampire mind just clicked. You know your not suppose to kill him or her.

Maybe everything was going to be okay, she thought to her-self. Than she looked back at Tony, or maybe not. They still had to deal with the different species thing. From the time she was born, she had the rule of no cross breeding drilled into her head. It was a rule for all creatures of the dark. A rule even Gibbs and Jenny abided by. The Elders didn't want vampire-werewolves running across the world. No one knew if they knew from experience or were just being cautious, either way, the rule was there.

At the time she left for America, she never thought about it. Ziva had a friend who broke that rule and he, his lover and the baby were doomed to death. She knew she would get in deep shit for it, but she needed to protect Tony. Ziva lifted the arm that pinned her down quickly and put one of the many pillows that fell of during the night under his arm. He did as she expected and hugged the pillow to him, mumbling under his breath about college.

She smiled faintly at him, while she stoked his cheek. Ziva got up, grabbed some of her clothes, put them on and left. She got behind the wheel of her mini copper and drove to NCIS headquarters. She ran to her desk, once she got off the elevator, and opened the desk drawers, looking for something.

When she finally found a small metal box with a latch attached to it, Abby walked into the bullpen. They were the only people in the room and for that Ziva was truly grateful. Abby looked at her and walked closer. She sniffed and recoiled.

"Didn't you take a shower this morning? You smell all sweaty and-Ziva what's on your neck?" Ziva's hand subconsciously went to her neck. Abby sniffed again and with wide eyes, she ripped Ziva's hand away from its resting place.

"Ziva! That's a hickey!" Ziva shushed her and looked over her shoulder.

"Be quiet Abby! I do not think the Elders heard you." Ziva hissed.

"Ziva, you smell like Tony." Abby said quietly and Ziva sighed.

"I know."

"Did you sleep with him?"

"Yes."

"Where is he now?"

"Probably still asleep in my bed."

"Alive?" Abby asked.

"Alive." Ziva confirmed.

"You, a vampire, had sex with Tony, a witch, your soul mate, and he's still alive?" Abby skeptically.

"Yes, Abby, I have to leave for awhile. Do not tell anyone except Gibbs-"

"And Tony." Ziva shook her head.

"Not Tony, especially Tony."

"Where're you going?" Abby asked a little upset.

"…To see my mother." Abby's face dropped.

"Ziva, your mother, she disappeared remember?"

"I know where she is and she said only to come in a case of an emergency. I think this qualifies." Ziva kissed Abby's cheek as she hugged her.

"Tell Tony I'm sorry." Abby nodded and watched as her best friend walked away. She sat at Ziva's desk and cried. Gibbs walked into the room approximately fifteen minutes later. When he saw Abby crying he ran over to her.

"What's wrong Abs?"

"She's gone!" Abby sobbed into Gibbs' shoulder. He rubbed her back.

"Who Abby?"

"Z-Ziva."

"Why?"

"She had s-sex with T-Tony and she t-took off to h-her m-mothers!"

"Abby, Ziva's mom left years ago with no forwarding address."

"Ziva said she s-said she k-knew where s-she'd be." Gibbs held her close to him.

"We'll find her Abs."

"She told me only to tell you." Abby said, now hiccupping.

"Those dumb asses who made up those rules are just asking for rebellion." Gibbs muttered. Abby stifled a laugh.

"We should go pick up Tony." Abby said sobering up.

"Where?"

"Her apartment." When McGee got there, they all loaded up into the car. It was a short drive to Ziva's and Abby immediately ran to her door, which was unlocked. They went to the still dark apartment and Abby led them to Ziva's room. They all sighed in relief as they saw Tony naked as the day he was born with Ziva's sheets covering his main anatomy.

"DiNozzo!" Tony shot up like a rocket with a surprised gasp at seeing his co-workers in the room.

"Hey Boss." He smiled nervously.

"DiNozzo, care to remind me what rule twelve is again?"

"'Never date your partner'?" When he said this he looked around.

"Close, but no cigar." Abby told him smiling. Ziva really hadn't killed him.

"Hey, where's Ziva?" The smile on Abby's face fell off and this made Tony frown.

"She left, DiNozzo." Gibbs answered him.

"W-wha'?" Gibbs sighed.

"What do you know about us?"

"Us? Oh, not much really." He confessed.

"We have a different set of rules than humans do. An African American can have sex with a Mexican, but in our world it's not like that."

"Vampires can only sleep with vampires." Abby said.

"Shape shifters with shape shifters." McGee told him.

"And wolves with wolves." Gibbs finished.

"What does that mean?" Tony asked his eyes taking in the faces around him.

"It means you and Ziva just broke a rule that is punishable by death."

"What?!"

"The Elders don't know about you so your safe, but Ziva, her father is as close to an Elder as one could be without being one." McGee said.

"Ziva went to find her mother to help her out." Abby felt bad for Tony.

"So she could…die?" He choked out the last word.

"Yes."

"And I could die?"

"Yeah."

"Where's her mom?"

"We don't know, but Ziva does…Did she tell you anything? You know, using her telepathy?" Last night surfaced in his mind and Abby turned a bright pink. He knew she saw it too.

"Abby?" McGee asked her, worried.

"It's, uh," she cleared her throat and they understood instantly. Meanwhile Ziva knocked on a large glass door. A woman with straight brown hair and light brown eyes answered the door.

"Hello Mother."
