A/N sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree, travel the world, and the seven seas, everybody is looking for something! Well I hope you enjoy this chapter, as we finally dive into the past of Zero and his father who is the leader of the hunters in Utah (which will be making their appearance know aging very shortly)Also I feel I have to say this again even though I have said it so many times, thank you to everyone who has helped and just been along for the ride. Thanks to: Madghost, Saber commander, Hydro, Saibot-vapor, and Crystal, and loganwolf you guys and girls rock.

Jeremy, Kate, Zero, Kham, and Marlene were sitting at a table eating breakfast while Firefly was still sleeping in Kate and Jeremy's room. They were all laughing and having a good time, telling funny stories and just overall enjoying themselves. They were probably the loudest table in the entire building, which was just one house that they had made into a huge kitchen. It was still rather early in the morning, but everyone wanted to help with the things that needed to be done, So Marlene was filling them in on their jobs when they just sort of broke into a friendly conversation. They were talking about anything that came to mind, like how Jeremy and Kate meet, or how they met Kham and Zero. Sure it brought up some bad memories to, But Jeremy, Kate, Kham and Zero have became somewhat of a family over the past week or so, so they handled those memories together.

But like all good things, they have to come to an end. But this was not the end they were expecting, and it all sent them on edge, especially Jeremy since any group he has ever been in has gotten killed, besides Tommy's group. A Firefly ran up to them, breathing heavily. Once he got his breath back, he said that the hunters had attacked the first checkpoint on the highway, and had burned all the Fireflies there and written on blood was 'I want Zero back.' This all made them look at him confused; except for Jeremy because I had somewhat of an idea about Zero's past. He looked shocked to know that his dad actually even remembered him, much less wanted him. But he had a pretty good idea of why he wanted him, and he didn't like that idea at all. He knew he owed them an explanation, so he took a deep breath, and started on his past, something that he didn't want to relive.

"My mom died giving birth to me 17 years ago, and my step-dad blamed me for it all. He beat me a lot, the only one I liked was my brother, who treated me with kindness. But the older I got, the more we grew apart, our close relationship turning into that of something you have with a friend, not a great one just one you say what's up to in the hall at school or something. So then it was like it was at the beginning, just getting beat and told off by my step-dad. The only friend besides my brother was this girl I met at school; she was one of the best people I ever met. But, a year later, she moved, so again it was just me all alone to deal with all the shit I had to put up with.

Once the infection started, me and my 'family' thought nothing of it, and just continued life like normal. But once we realized the severity of the outbreak, we started to bunker down, and go on scavenging runs to get supplies from time to time. But on a run gone wrong, my brother was killed, ripped open by the infected, a clicker to be exact. And just like he did with my mother, he blamed my brother's death on me, and became even meaner to me. He decided that he would leave me on one of our runs, apparently to toughen me up. I decided that I had enough by then, and left. After that I was on my own for a long time, messing around with any people I would see, but would never hurt or talk to them. Then one fateful day I had a run in with a anthro wolf infected. He didn't bite me, but something form of liquid from the infected got into one of my cuts. Over the period of two weeks, I became more and more like a wolf, and now hear I am."

The girls were crying, while Jeremy and the Firefly stood shocked. Jeremy knew a small bit about Zero's past, but he didn't expect it to be so extreme. They all felt really bad for him, and Kham, who was sitting next to him, wrapped him up in a hug. Marlene turned to the Firefly, and started to tell him some command, asking him to warn all of the Fireflies that they were going to be fighting a war soon, since she refused to give up Zero. Zero thanked her as the Firefly ran to do what he was told. Then everyone split up, all of them forgetting about the jobs that were assigned to them. Jeremy and Kate went back to their room to check on Firefly and take a small nap, while Kham and Zero went back to their room.

Zero was sad when reliving his past, but he felt better instantly. Because he knew that he had found a new family, one that cared for him. And that was all he wanted, and he knew that him, Kham, Kate and Jeremy were an inseparable force, and he would do anything for them, just like they would for him.
