Zero slipped from Emily's bed, getting dressed. He knew he shouldn't, that it was better if he just left it alone, but he had to know if Cain was okay. So, he slipped quietly from Emily's room before heading to Cain's cell. When he got there, he stood outside for a moment, not sure what else to do. If he left, he wouldn't get his answers but if he went in, who knows what would happen. He went for the middle ground.

Zero leaned his back against the door before sliding down it, sitting against the door.

"Wyatt? Are you awake?" he called through the door. There was silence. He debated about going in. Maybe he was hurt worse then he thought.

"You took her again. I can smell it, through the door. You stink of her." Came Cain's angered voice.

"Does that upset you?" Zero asked. There was another pause.

"Yes. Why do you deserve to be happy?" Cain growled.

"We all deserve it, Wyatt," Zero said softly. "Even us bastards."

"You deserve nothing, not after everything you did. Everything you continue to do."

"I'm sorry for that," Zero said, whole-heartedly. Cain laughed.

"Have you ever been truly sorry once in your entire life?" Cain scoffed.

"Yes… I'm sorry that I did what I had to do in this war. I may have taken some sick pleasure from it at the time, but now, what I wouldn't give to go back and change things."

"I don't believe you," Cain snarled.

"Believe what you want… but I was a bit messed up back then. Enraged, crazed. I followed the Sorceress because I wanted something to quench that anger, but it was nothing more then a quick fix. It was Emily and this that made me come to terms with what I really was, and what I wanted."

"What? That you are a monster?"

"No more then you at the moment." Zero heard Cain hit the door in anger. There was another long pause.

"Why?" Cain asked.

"Why I turned you?"

"I have my thoughts, but I want to hear your lies," Cain bit out with anger.

"If you think I'm going to lie, then why ask?"

"Curiosity."

"Killed the Papay," Zero said with a laugh. "I'm not sure why I did it. I know what I thought when I did it. I thought I loved you… now I'm not sure. Maybe I just lusted after you more then anything, the one thing I could never have. I wanted you to be mine and in a way, give you a new life, a better one that would replace the one I took from you."

"Okay, now I know your lying."

"Why?"

"Because Adrian Zero would never be that sappy," Cain scoffed.

"A lot can change in a year, especially if you are where you belong. Despite what we are, what you think of us, we are good people. We are not violent, unless we have to be. I've gotten nothing but love here. And love you know, can be a powerful thing."

"But you don't deserve it."

"We all get things we don't deserve. But you deserve happiness."

"With you?" There was a humorless laugh.

"Not unless you want it. I've learned my lesson."

"I don't buy this, not from you," Cain growled again. Zero sat there for a moment, before moving to stand up.

"I guess that is it." Zero heard movement.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm leaving you be, since it doesn't seem like we are making any headway," Zero explained.

"Don't go." He heard Cain say. Zero stopped, looking at the door for a moment.

"Why?" Zero asked.

"I don't want to be alone," Cain pleaded. It tugged at Zero's heart.

"You would rather butt heads all night then be alone?"

"That is only because you are being unreasonable."

"ME?! What about you?" Zero barked out and Cain laughed. "Bastard."

"I guess I learned from the best," Cain said before he winced. Zero's eyes widened.

"Are you okay?" Zero asked.

"Ah, you beat the ever living shit out of me, of course I'm not okay," Cain bit out and Zero felt a twinge of guilt.

"You shouldn't have hit her."

"You shouldn't have brought her," Cain barked back. "I thought vampires were supposed to have some super human healing ability. I don't seem to be healing at all."

"You need to feed for that."

"Then feed me," Cain said. Zero looked at the door unsure of what to do. He stood there for a moment, debating his next move, when Cain winced again. When Zero opened the door, he found Cain still next to the door as blooded as he left him. Zero sighed, taking pity on him. He knelt next to him.

"I'll let you drink, but I would like for you to start drinking from someone else," Zero said, determined and Cain just smirked.

"I would have thought you got off on taking care of me. Having me at your mercy." Zero glared at him. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He moved to bite his wrist. Cain grabbed it, shaking his head.

"Not like that," Cain purred out. Zero blinked at him before he felt Cain's thick fingers on the back of his neck. He could have stopped him if he wanted to but the thought of Cain's teeth sinking into his neck excited him. He watched as Cain came closer, before taking his scent in. Zero purred.

"I know you where a slut for it," Cain said before sinking in. Zero tried to bite back the moan that was forming in his throat as Cain began to drink from him. It felt exquisite, so full of lust and sex. Zero felt himself become aroused at the feeling, having Cain so close, having Cain inside him in this way. Zero felt himself become light headed, he pushed back on Cain to get him to stop but Cain just dug in tighter, taking his fill from Zero. Cain was draining him, weakening him and he just walked right into it.

"Wyatt, stop, please," Zero moaned out. Cain kept draining him. When he finally released Zero from his bite, Zero could barely keep his eyes open, let alone move. Cain smiled wickedly at him.

"Thank you, love. I'm feeling much better," Cain said. He dropped Zero, and he collapsed on the floor. It didn't take Zero long before he fell into darkness.

Wyatt watched Zero for a moment. The bastard got what he deserved, but something about the way he pleaded caused a slight bit of guilt. He laughed when he remembered WHO it was. Cain was surprised when he felt a new found strength come over him. He smiled.

He left quickly making it to the great room. Everyone noticed him. Some looked at him like they were itching for a fight, but soon they backed off, appalled. They most likely could sense what he had done.

"Where is my son?" he yelled. They stared at him with shocked silence.

"WHERE?!" he yelled again. One of the girls gasped before pointing in a direction, the same one from earlier, he was still locked up, most likely. He left quickly, knowing he wasn't going to have much time. He found the room before pushing through the door in a rush. He heard a scream, of shock more than fear.

"Cain?" It was the girl. Molly? He glared at her when he saw his son on the bed. Her eyes went wide after a moment.

"What did you do?" she asked in horror.

"What did you do to MY son?" he growled.

"I gave him what he wished; to become one of us." Cain glared at her as he closed the door.
