Zack's P.O.V.
Cass walked up to the house and then walked in. "y'know. There is such a thing as knocking." I said glaring at her. "sorry. But I have to talk to you." she said. Kara stayed hidden behind me and I sighed. "what is it?" I snapped. I was not in the mood for negotiating with her. "it's Alaki." she said and I glared at her. "I don't want to know about him. I still have to deal with him for hurting Tyne and Calari." I said turning around and picking Kara up. She whimpered snuggling into me and I held her tightly. "Please Zack. He's trying to kill me." she said and I looked at her. "oh and like I should believe the girl who tried to get me away from my own damn wife!" I hissed and Kara whimpered holding me. "sorry baby." I murmured nuzzling her gently and she sighed looking up at me. I stroked her hair softly and sat on the couch when Calley walked round and glared at Cass. "what's she doing here?" she murmured walking over to me. "trying to get my help." I said as she sat down next to me. She hugged me gently holding Kara as well. "someone scared?" she asked looking at Kara and she nodded. "what's she want your help about?" Calley asked resting her head on my shoulder. "she says Alaki is trying to kill her." I murmured. "what?! And you expect him to help you?!" she hissed glaring at her. "forget it! He's got better things to be doing!" Cass sighed and pulled out a piece of paper. "read this." she said handing it to me. I took it and opened it up reading it. "what's it say?" Calley asked. "she had 48 hours to hand over the files on Lachy or she will be killed." I said. "what would Alaki want with the files on Lachy?" I asked looking up at her. "he wants them because they contain information about you. I don't want him to have any files. I only agreed to give them to him because it meant he'd leave me alone!" she said crossing her arms. "bitch." I murmured and Calley sighed closing her eyes and snuggling up to me. "you want to go don't you?" she whispered. "I have to if I'm to stop this before Alaki hurts Calari and Tyne." I said stroking her hair gently. "okay." she murmured and I handed Kara over to her. "I'll be back soon princess." I whispered kissing Kara gently. "okay." she said softly holding onto Calley tightly. I sighed and headed off with Cass.
I got in my work truck and followed Cass off. I wasn't really sure if I should trust her but if this letter was true, I wanted to sort this all out. I followed her closely for an hour or so and then she stopped and got out. I got out and walked over to her. "well? Where is he?" I asked and she looked around. "coming." she said pointing to a cloud of dust heading towards us. I frowned and a car skidded to a stop and Alaki got out. "well? Have you got them?" he asked looking at her crossly and then looked at me. "why did you bring him?!" he growled. "cause you need to be dealt with. You tried to harm me!" she said and I pulled out my axe. "so you two are back together." he said smiling. "no. I'm was here to find out if she was tellin' the truth and now I will finish you off for trying to hurt Calari and Tyne." I growled walking over to him slowly. He backed away slowly and I smiled. "backing away won't help. It'll make it worse." I said smiling and he stopped. "but stopping won't do anything either. Neither will fighting me. I'm ten times better than you are." I hissed and he gulped as I raised my axe. "hold it!" he said and I stopped. "this isn't exactly fair. I don't have any weapons." he said. "fine. Go and get some." I said smiling and he raced off to his car and sped off. "how do you know he'll be back?" Cass asked. "he will. He won't leave a fight un-finished." I murmured.
A few minutes later he came back. He got out and drew a rifle. "big mistake letting me go." He said smirking as more men came out. "no. big mistake bringing them. I'll just kill all of you." I said darkly and he laughed. "I'd like to see you try!" I smiled and he sent the men at me. I did exactly what I said I would do and killed them all. He stared at me in disbelief and I smiled looking at the blood on my axe. "you're next." I said and he loaded his rifle but I was onto him before he had a chance to fire it at me. I pounced on him knocking him onto his back and I glared at him. "you have given my family enough trouble! Your life ends now!" I growled and he pushed me off. "over my dead body!" he hissed. "that can be arranged." I murmured smiling. A hint of danger flashed in my eyes and he frowned getting ready to fight. We ran at each other and he pulled out his sword. I moved around behind him hitting him in the head. He lost balance and fell over. I smiled looking at him and Cass watched us closely. I could feel her watching me which really annoyed me. I walked over to Alaki and he rolled onto his back and looked at me. "this isn't the end." He murmured. I glared at him. "yes it is. It's over for all this once I kill you." I hissed. "no it's not. Don't you feel something is wrong?" he asked. "yeah. What's wrong is that you're not dead!" I growled bringing my axe down on his neck cracking it. I kicked him over cutting into his back and pulled it down his back before bringing it down on his spine. He didn't move after that and I smiled putting my blood stained axe back on my belt. I got rid of the bodies and walked back to my truck. "thanks for helping me Zack." Cass said walking over to me. "that's fine." I said and she pulled me to her kissing me gently. I froze pushing her off me. "just stay away from me and don't come near me again!" I said slamming my door and racing off back to Tyne's house.
I was near the house when I saw a truck drive past. I got a funny feeling when I saw it but I shook it off for now. I got home pulling into the driveway seeing Calley out the front with Jeremy watching Taya, Nicole, and Tahatan playing in the snow. Calley turned around and smiled looking at me. she put Jeremy in the pram as I got over to her. "did it go….. she said when I silenced her kissing her harshly. I pulled away after a bit breathless and she stared at me. "well?" she finished saying. "reasonably." I said and looked at Jeremy who was staring up at me finding it quite amusing what just happened. "care to tell me what that was all about?" she asked. "before I left Cass kissed me. I pushed her off and came home. I needed to get rid of her so I kissed you." I said and she frowned and kissed me gently. "there." She said after a minute. "now I just claimed you back." I smiled hugging her. I walked inside and the house was quiet. "Zack!" I heard Tyne yell as I shut the door. "what's wrong?" I asked taking my axe and sitting it on the table as I sat down. "you have to go after someone. One of the kids was kidnapped." She said sadly. "It can wait. I just killed Alaki." I said lying my head back closing my eyes. "love. It was Kara." Calley whispered and my eyes snapped open. "someone kidnaped Kara?! My baby princess?!" I growled and they both nodded. I grabbed my axe and ran out of the house. Whoever kidnapped Kara, would regret ever touching her.
I got to an old building when I heard Kara scream. I frowned running inside. I got inside and saw Kara in the corner of the room crying. "you idiot! Just hand it over!" a guy snapped. Leave my princess alone!" I growled and he turned around. I walked out of the shadows and he gasped. I walked over to Kara snatching her close to me. she held onto me tightly sobbing softly. "run home so I can deal with this guy." I whispered and she nodded. She kissed my cheek gently. "come back safe…..please?" she begged and I nodded. She sighed and ran out of the building and I turned my attention to the guy standing across the room. "you touched my princess." I hissed pulling my axe off my belt and he backed up slowly. "I'm only doing what my boss told me to do." he said and I shook my head. I don't give a shit! You touched my baby girl and you will pay for it!" I yelled running towards him and swung my axe at him hitting him in the head he fell down to the ground and I picked him up by his shirt and held him against the wall raising my axe. "who is your boss?!" I growled. "I'm not permitted to say." He said and I shook my head. "well then you die and I'll find him!" I snapped and swung my axe. It cut his throat and I heard it break the bone. I smiled dropping him to the ground before bringing my axe down on him and finishing him off. I pulled my axe out of him and put it on my belt. I got rid of the body and headed back home.
On my way home I was wondering what that guy was talking about. "Kara baby! I'm home!" I called out shutting the door. I heard her squeal running down the stairs smiling. She got close to me before she stopped and jumped into my arms. I smiled catching her and holding her close. "my poor baby." I murmured kissing her cheek gently. "my poor father." Tyne said coming up hugging me from behind gently. I held her hand squeezing it gently. "where's Calley?" I asked. "in the lounge with Jeremy." She said. I nodded walking in. Cal was on the couch and holding Jeremy close to her rocking him gently. I walked over and sat down next to her and she looked up at us. "you poor thing." She said softly stroking Kara's hair gently. Tyne was in the door way when Fletch came up behind her hugging her tightly. "what did he want you to give him?" I finally asked Kara. "they wanted my necklace." She said softly. I looked at Cal who looked as confused and me. I looked at the other two. Fletch was looking confused but Tyne frowned "you still have it?" she asked and Kara nodded pulling out a dark blue pendant that was hidden down her jacket. "what's wrong with a necklace?" I asked and Tyne shook her head pulling out an orange pendant. "he'll be after me soon then." She murmured and we just looked at each other worried. "who?" Fletch asked looking at Tyne but she shook her head pulling away from Fletch. "just stay away from me." she said as her eyes filled with tears. She ran off to her room and Fletch watched her run off. "Tyne!" he called out and Calley held him back. "just wait." She murmured and Fletch frowned. "I hate waiting." He murmured hugging Cal tightly holding back from crying. "I just want to have Tyne back with me." he whispered. "I know you do." Cal whispered back holding him close. I sighed holding Kara close to me. "I don't get it." I said kissing the top of Kara's head. "I don't either. But maybe her uncle Draco is making trouble for her again." She said and I looked at her. "who is that?" I asked. "her uncle. He's a monster and a half. He's scary." Kara said shivering gently. "just the thought of him freaks me out." She whimpered. I growled softly and she stroked my cheek gently. "it's okay uncle Zack. You'll deal with him if he comes." She said kissing me softly. I smiled and she nuzzled me gently. I purred softly holding her close and Calley sat down holding Fletch close. This all had to end somewhere…just where, I wasn't sure.
