Chapter 25 Talk & Love

"My name's Zack."

Kellie stared at Zack her eyes wide, and fear radiating from her. He looked so angry and full of hatred that it scared her. He was so cold, his eyes and voice holding an icy edge to them. And that fact that he had a red implant instead if his normal blue iris didn't help matter any. She was rooted to the spot where she stood, just staring at him with her blue orbs. Her mouth opened to speak, but no sound came out. She closed her mouth and tried again.

"Zack? That's y-your name?" She asked, her voice wavering and unsure. She didn't need him to answer to know that Zack was his name. A tense silence ensured as both Kellie and Zack stood stiff and staring at each other. Finally after several minutes Kellie swallowed and stood back away from Zack and the door and waved Zack in.

Zack stood there for a moment staring at Kellie. He knew she was scared, he could smell her fear, but yet here she was inviting him in. He wasn't sure if he should. 'The Mission.'

"I have a mission." He said, his voice cold and hard, one Kellie had never heard. Zack swiftly turned on his heel and began to walk away. Kellie looked at the spot where he just was contemplating what he had just said, before walking after him. Kellie jogged to reach him and then grabbed his arm to stop him.

"Zack w-wait." Kellie said and gulped when he swung around to look at her.

When she had grabbed him, his first instinct was to strike out at the person who had grabbed him. His second instinct stopped him from hitting her. He looked at the young woman in front of him whose eyes were wide in anticipation.

"W-what? What mission?" Kellie asked. Zack regarded her silently, she was still grasping his arm in her small hand.

"To terminate Logan Cale." He told her, his hatred for the man he was talking about showing through his voice.

Kellie looked at him, an odd expression written on her face. "W-what? Terminate? Logan Cale? Whose-"

Se was cut off by Zack who had turned around and pulled away from her. Kellie stood there for a moment just staring at Zack's back. She blinked and hurried toward him again. Before he could get to the elevator, Kellie jogged up in front of him, coming to a complete halt facing Zack. Zack was forced to stop. He glared down at Kellie, who had her hands on his chest.

"Move now." Zack ordered.

Kellie stood her ground. She was afraid, but had no intention of moving. "Please just wait!" Kellie exclaimed. "Whose Logan Cale?" Kellie asked quickly.

Zack grabbed Kellie by the arms and felt her flinch, but didn't back down. "I have a mission. To terminate Eyes Only." He said tonelessly.

Kellie looked shocked. He was planning on killing somebody, and to top it off the guy was Eyes Only. Zack pushed Kellie out of his way with enough force to make her hit the wall with her back and fall down. Kellie winced slightly in pain. She knew Zack could have pushed her harder then he had, but the force he had used had hurt enough. She gulped. She was scared that if she tried to stop him again he would do more then just push her, but she had to try and help Zack.

"Zack please!" She called out as she heard the elevator bell ring, indicating it had arrived on their floor. "Please don't do this... Please just tell me what happened." She pleaded from her spot on the floor. "Please..."

Zack stood there staring at the elevator, his body stiff. He slowly turned his head and looked at the young woman on the floor. Her eyes leaded him to let her try and help, and she looked to so desperate. Zack turned on his heel and walked toward her. He grabbed her and pulled her off the floor by her upper arm. Her wide blue eyes stared up at him.

"You wanted to talk." He said harshly.

Kellie nodded her head and smiled briefly and weakly at him before she turned and walked back toward her apartment, glancing back to make sure Zack was following her. She nervously gestured Zack in. Zack hesitantly walked in her apartment. Kellie walked in after him and closed the door softly behind her. A tense silence filled the room, neither Zack or Kellie talking.

Zack sat down on the couch, his whole body stiff, the implant blinking red, unnerving Kellie slightly. Kellie sat in the chair opposite of Zack, curling her feet under her, and pulling her robe tighter around her.

"Adam-" She stopped. "Zack, I mean what happened?"

Zack didn't say anything at first. "Remember Max, Jondy, Zane, Syl, and Krit?"

Kellie nodded her head, not sure what they had to do with anything.

"They're my siblings." He said. Kellie looked at him surprised. "I remember everything."

Kellie looked confused. "That's a good thing... right? I mean you know who you are, where you came from, who your family is."

Zack stared at her. "I'm a freak."

Kellie looked surprised. "Zack your not a freak. Why would you say that?"

Zack looked at her. "Look at me damnit!" He exclaimed. Kellie recoiled slightly.

"Zack clam down... Just tell everything from the beginning." Kellie told him.

Zack sighed and ran a hand through his blonde hair and nodded.

(Sometime later)

Kellie sat there in silence. Zack had just finished telling her about everything and she was to say shocked. She felt anger toward Max for what she had done to Zack after all he had sacrificed for her, she felt anger toward Manticore for what they had done, she felt anger toward Logan for only thinking about himself. She looked at Zack and felt a swell of sadness go through her, he and the others had one through so much.

Zack looked at Kellie. So many emotions were running through her eyes. He looked away from her.

"So now that you know everything, how odes it feel to know you fell in love with a freak?" Zack asked.

Kellie moved out of her seat and went to kneel in front of Zack. She forced him to look and her and she smiled.

"Zack your not a freak." She told him with conviction. "Just because you had a disturbing childhood, doesn't make you a freak." She touched the side of his face. "If anyone is the freak, its them. Not you and not your siblings."

Zack looked at her. "Kellie look at me. What do you see?" He asked, the pain he was feeling coming through his voice and eye.

Kellie smiled. "I see a strong, brave and compassionate man who would sacrificed anything and everything for the one he loves no matter what. I see someone who would go to hell and make to make sure those he cared for were happy. But most of all, I see the person who I love more then anything else in this entire universe." Kellie said, a tear sliding down her cheek.

"I love you Zack, and nothing will ever change that."

A tear slipped down Zack's cheek as he looked at Kellie. Everything she had said, he knew was true, he could see it in her eyes. Kellie cupped his face in her hands and kissed him softly before pulling away.

"I love you." She repeated looking him straight in the eye.

She kissed Zack again and this time Zack kissed her back. He deepened the kiss, letting all his emotion flow into it. Zack stood up and pulled Kellie with him, never breaking the kiss. Kellie pulled away, needing to breath, before Zack pulled her into another passionate kiss. He lifted Kellie up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her into her bedroom.
