*Andri's POV*

Maybe it was a mistake coming here because Andri felt scared and angry, after so many years, he felt his hate towards the Lich King rise. What if… what if this was not going to work. His wolf couldn't come because it would have sabotaged the mission. He was dragged up the stairs. It all smelled of death and hate and… lost hopes. There was no happiness here. It was dark and damp. And now he saw the Lich King. The one and only bastard who Andri wanted to kill more than anything. But before his consciousness tried to do anything, his heart skipped a beat. Because there next to the motherless monster was the girl of his dreams. It really was her.

Andri's and Sebastian's thought were all mixed up.

She's here, Andri

It can't be

Look how she's changed

By the God's…

This is not going to work

Shut up

Abort mission

I will kill you if you do anything

She will give us up

Wait

We'll die

Just shut up!

"My Lord," Sebastian spoke and kneeled before the Lich King.

Andri's chest was about to break of all the nervousness, anger, guilt and… love.

Zacklrina stood there, straight and proud as a woman, hair long and black, body covered with dark and powerful Lich King armor and carrying a thin black bow. For a moment Andri felt relief, at least she was still a hunter. But the happiness didn't last.

The hunters looked each other in the eyes and Andri just wished to know what the girl was thinking.

Zack turned to the evil monster and they whispered something. The Lich King looked at Sebastian… and then Andri and… laughed. An evil laugh.

"Welcome back, Sebastian the Traitor!"

A stone was lifted from the brothers. By some magic Zack hadn't told the Lich the truth. Yet Andri was confused. He was supposed to be dead by now.

"My Lord, I had no choice but to work undercover. I won't be staying for long, not if you, My Lord, have anything else to say. This filthy elf was found snooping around. What shall I do with him, My Lord?"

Zacklrina had remained still but took a step forward towards the brothers. "Traitors must be punished," she said, her voice like death.

The Lich King nodded and commanded Sebastian to follow his little "eye candy". Zacklrina took the chains and dragged the night elf to a candle lit chamber, on another floor. They both looked at each other in surprise.

"Stay here," her angry deathly voice told Sebastian.

Sebastian did as told though he was as confused as Andri. He stayed outside the chamber door, concentrating on Andri's thoughts just in case anything went wrong.

Andri, please tell me she's not a death knight.

She's not. But the voice… I don't seem to understand.

Why didn't she tell the Lich King she knew us? Maybe her memory has been erased.

No, that's not it. When she looked at me… She knows who I am.

So you think she's still fighting for the Alliance?

I don't think so. After all, she went through a lot in such a short period. The breakdown was big…Oh wait… I think…

What's she doing?

She chained me to a chair.

I feel tension in you, brother. Are you… you love her that much? Even after what she's become?

Oh, shut it.

Zacklrina moved away from Andri's chair, into the darkness of the chamber. Before Andri could speak the girl's eyes left him speechless.

"I almost lost hope," Andri spoke, the chains hurting him.

She didn't say anything.

"Please, come back."

Silence.

"Well you must have brought me here for something. You could have easily told the Lich King the truth."

She stayed in the same position. Just watching.

"I know you-"

"You don't know me!" She screamed the scariest scream he'd ever heard.

A shiver ran down his spine. Her voice was so… cold and dead.

Andri, what the hell is going on?

She's… she has like… died.

"When you ran away… I was so scared, Zack. And deep inside I know you had feelings too. It wasn't just to escape from me. You wanted me. You craved me," Andri said with a low and very, very attractive voice but still keeping the seriousness.

"I feel nothing."

"But you did back then."

None of them spoke.

"What are you doing here, Andri?" Zack asked. Her rage had calmed but voice was still cold as death.

"I came to save you."

"There's nothing left to save."

Are you guys…

Oh for God's sake Sebastian she's 20 feet from me.

"…That night at Wetlands…"

She didn't respond.

"Come back. Zacklrina, please come back."

"I can't," she answered and put out the candle.

"10 months I've been tracking you down. I'm not about to give up."

He heard her soft steps coming towards him. It was pitch dark and he couldn't see anything. His hunter nose picked up her scent and though it had changed a little, he felt it getting stronger.

She just put out the only light we had.

Okay, brother, when things get bad you just tell me.

I don't think she will hurt me.

What do you mean?

She has something she wants to tell me but it's hard to understand.

Alright.

Her legs touched his knees. She was so close to him, he could feel it but he was too tightly chained. Her soft scent caught his nose and he could hear her breathing. Maybe it was the darkness which messed with Andri's senses but he felt the girl sitting on him, facing him. Her rough gear weighing down on him. Zacklrina put her hands around his shoulders and before Andri felt the hug, he felt sadness. It wasn't his though, it was hers. A tear raced down Zack's cheek and Andri felt it on the side of his face.

"I wish I could hug you back," the night elf whispered.

She stayed quiet but kept embracing him.

At that moment Andri felt happy. For the first time in 10 months he felt happy. The girl, or well, woman now, was sitting on him and hugging him. Her scent was everywhere and it had turned into a sweet drug a long time ago.

"Don't cry."

"I'm not crying," she wept.

Andri had felt this before. His armor getting wet because of the girl. And it made him even happier.
