Zek was walking as quickly as he could with jarring the beautiful woman in his arms

Zek was walking as quickly as he could with jarring the beautiful woman in his arms. I wonder what's wrong with her, maybe I should take her to the hospital instead… he looked back quickly, Link and Cai were flanking him with worry clear in their eyes. They hadn't spoken since they left the parking lot, "Link has this ever happened to her before?"

"Never," she whispered.

Cai just hugged her close to him before she broke down crying, "It'll be fine, I promise."

Zek faced forward again stared at Sera. She looked like extremely pale, worse than normal. She looks like a corpse, what happened to her? Is on some kind of medication or something? She was fine until the end of the night. She was angry at me for not acting like the other guys, but I thought she was drunk…

Sera groaned loudly, "It burns, it burns. Please somebody help me, it hurts so much."

Zek held her tighter to him as he ran the last little bit to the dorms. Just hold on Sera, just hold on.

One in the morning…

Zek and Cai were sitting on the girls' couch, while Link got Sera into a cool shower. They had gotten Sera back at around midnight and she had been screaming softly that she was on fire. Link had picked the girl off of the bed and hauled her into the bathroom with Cai's help. Zek would have assisted, but he got sick at the sight of Sera in agony.

"They've been in there awhile now."

Cai tried to reassure him, "Yeah, but Link knows what she's doing." I think.

At that moment, Link came out the bathroom with a thrashing Sera, "A little help, please."

The boys jumped and held Sera's arms down never touching her skin and carried her to her room.

Link was soaking wet and she looked drained, "She starts screaming whenever I touched her skin. All she kept saying was that she was on fire, even though I had the cold water on blast. I thought maybe she got something on her skin or clothes, but I think she was drugged. It's the only thing I can think of." No! I know she was drugged. I scanned her body; she has a powerful blocker killing most of her magic cells. No not killing them, burning them. She sighed and ran her hands through her hair. How could this have happened no one uses those things anymore! Not since the end of the war, six years ago.

Cai left to grab a towel for her.

"But who would want to drug her?" Zek asked with wide fearful eyes, "We got her drinks all night."

"Yeah, but we all left our drinks on the table to dance remember. Someone could have slipped it in easily."

Cai handed her the towel, "How do you feel? They could have drugged you too."

"I fine, and so are the triplets. I called the boys and they said the girls are fine. Sera's the only one who's like this."

Zek sighed and rested his head in his hands, "So what do we do now?"

"We take turns on watching her tonight, who knows what could happen to her." They all agreed and Link walked to Sera's room, "I'll go first. You guys can stay here or go back to your room if you want."

An hour later…

Zek and Cai had been starring at the walls for a while now as they waited for Link to switch.

"Hey, let's watch a movie while we wait, it'll keep our minds busy," Cai suggested.

Zek never even heard a word he said, his minds just kept playing the last twenty minutes before Sera passed out in his head.

Cai just sighed and grabbed one of the tapes from a small box in the corner Destroy huh? He thought as he read the label, I wonder what this is all about… he popped in the tape and turned on the TV. He fast forwarded passed the white noise until some words appeared on the screen. The Wedding of Mr. & Mrs. Wallas??

"Dude, is Sera or Link's last name Wallas?" he asked Zek curiously.

"I don't think so. Maybe it's a distant family member or a friend of their." Zek said off handedly, still thinking about Sera's condition.

Cai continued watching the video quietly until he saw Link march out in a beautiful ruby bridesmaid gown; "Wanna see a dolled-up version Sera …" Cai teased him lightly.

"Cai can't you be serious for once," Zek sighed watching the screen from the corner of his eye.

Cai fast forward until the bride was at the altar, "Guess she wasn't a bridesmaid, sorry man."

Zek smirked softly, "Yeah I bet you-" Some thing on the TV made his mouth fall open.

Cai quickly turned to see the groom smiling at his bride now that her veil was back, "It's Sera!! Wait she's married, but she…no…ring" Cai was dumbfound.

Zek closed his mouth and watched the screen with a horrified expression.

((A/N: All of this in italics happened in the past, and is not a memory or thought.))

Last Decmeber…

Sera was holding Miranda's arm as she waited for the wedding march to begin. Link was fixing her train, and Miranda was trying to keep her calm, "just keep you eyes on Aaron and everything will be fine."

She nodded mechanically, "Link?"

Link shuffled over "What is it, you look scared to death."

"Where are my parents sitting?"

"They are in the front row, but that's just for show. They swore they would not say a word until the wedding was completely over."

Sera smiled tit-lipped as the music started. Miranda made her way down the isle slowly followed by Link; while Sera listened for her cue.

Aaron was mentally pacing back and forth, Sera had told him a huge secret the week before and he was starting to freak out now. He was rethinking their entire relationship now, 'She's a witch and a powerful one at that. What if she calls forth demons? What if she can't control them and we get killed! Maybe this whole thing has been some sort of spell from the start, no that can't be, can it? I love her and she loves me, but…' the music had already started and both girls were smiling at him before the bride's march began. 'I don't know if I can…'

Sera walked slowly to Aaron smiling under her veil the whole time, 'he looks so handsome and from now on it's going to be us, just us.' She grabbed his outstretched hand, and blushed as he pulled back her veil.

'God, she's gorgeous but I wonder if she really looks like this or is it a spell? No I'm just being stupid, she was born this gorgeous and I'm a lucky man.

The ceremony was going smoothly, Sera had already finished her vows; Aaron on the other hand was past freaking out, 'I can't do this, I just can't.' Sera please forgive me for what I'm about to do.'

The priest asked him for his vows, he inhaled deeply, and let go of her hands. "I'm sorry but I can't do this."

The crowd broke into whisper immediately, Sera's eyes were wide, and her family (mainly her mother and sister) had cruel smirks across their faces. "What? What do you mean?" Sera asked softly.

Aaron looked away from her, "I can't marry you," he pulled her close and whispered in her ear, "I can't marry a witch." He let her go and walked down the isle. His parents called his name and he looked back at the beauty standing at the altar with tears threatening to fall from her eyes, "I'm sorry, I just can't." He opened the doors and left.

Sera cleared her throat, faced the crowd, and spoke softly, "It looks like the wedding is off, but please enjoy the reception none the less. If everyone would please move to down the hall the reception area, I will be there momentarily, thank you."

Most the guests, did as she requested the only ones that did not were both sets of parents. Aaron's mother touched her on the shoulder, "I'm so sorry. I don't know what's wrong with him. He'll come back, though."

"No he won't. He told me why he left. I'll be alright. Thank you though; I will see you in a few minutes. I need some time to clam down." As soon as they closed the hall doors, Sera crumbled to the floor sobbing, uncontrollably.

Miranda and Link moved to comfort her, but Sera's mother got to her first. She held her in arms and spoke clearly to the sobbing bride, "There, there now. I told something like this would happen. You don't deserve a good boy like that and you knew it from day one. You are not normal, and never will be."

"Shut up, you're wrong he didn't deserve her," Miranda yelled at the woman harshly.

"No she's right. She's a freak and belongs in a circus," Sera's sister sneered down at her sister.

Link pulled Sera away from her mother, "Monsters all of you!"

Sera's father walked up to his daughter and slapped her, "You caused this family a lot of embarrassment to today with your little wedding dream, I hope you're satisfied."

Sera just stood up, turned towards her father and looked down while speaking in a drained, monotone voice, "I'm sorry father. I'm sorry mother. I'm sorry Gabriel. I know that it was hard for you guys to come here, but please enjoy the reception at least."

"No, we have other important matters to attend to, goodbye Seraphim," he father said before turning to leave with his wife and other daughter.

Link and Miranda eyed Sera wearily as she walked to the reception hall. They were worried since there seemed to be no expression on her face or feeling in her voice. Everyone noticed how dead and lifeless the would-be-bride's eyes were, and her voice wasn't any better. On that depressing day in earlier December, Sera had become a ghost of who she once was.

The video ended with the image of Sera standing alone on the balcony looking out over the ocean with a single tear on her cheek before the cameraman shut off the recorder. Zek paused and stared at the picture for a long time. This is why she doesn't get along with her family, they hate her…

Link came out of the room yawning, "Cai, you're up next." He quickly ran to his post as Link sat in his place, "what did you guys end up watching" she asked rubbing her eyes.

Zek just pointed to the TV.

Link looked and noticed the ghost woman on the screen. She ran to the VCR and popped the tape out, "How much of this did you two, see?"

"Everything," he admitted softly looking at the floor.

Link threw the tape into the box, "You saw nothing do you understand. That tape shouldn't even exist. If she saw that…"

"Link"

"What?" She growled from one of the stools facing him.

"Why did he leave her?"

"I don't know, Sera said he told her that he loved someone else." She was still mad at Zek, but the look of agony on his face made her anger slowly fade.

"I think I said something wrong tonight, Link. It's my fault she tried to leave early."

She sighed, "What did you say?"

"I asked her about her parents and her sister." He looked down at his feet, "I think she started to cry, but I couldn't understand why she'd cry over that. I do know though."

"You saw how they treated her huh."

He nodded and gripped the couch so tightly his knuckles turned white, "how could they do that to her, their own daughter, and her sister. I can't even begin to think what they did to her before she came here…"

"Sera hasn't lived with her parents since she was ten, Zek. She moved out right after her birthday, and lived on her own for years. I moved in with her during our junior year."

"She lived all by herself for that long…"

"Yes, but she had been going to with Aaron since freshman year. He proposed to her on her birthday last year." Link stared at the wall above his head, reliving the memory, "It took her no time at all to set up everything. They were suppose to be married on December 2, but…well you say what happened."

"How long did it take her to get over him?"

"She just started acting like her old self a month ago. She never left her room all winter, by spring she was getting back into the swing of things, but everything reminded her of him and she would breakdown again. Finally I set her up on a blind date, a friend of the guy I was dating at the time."

"Kevin?"

"Yeah," Link laughed softly, "They went on a couple dates, but Sera wasn't ready to start dating. She broke it off, and to save his pride he called her a cold, heartless bitch that just played with men's emotions. He told her that no one would want to love her, ever." Link was laughing hysterically now.

Zek gave her a death glare, "And how is that funny. She's your best friend shouldn't you feel bad for her and comfort her."

Link shook her head, "I didn't need to." Link was laughing harder by the minute. "Sera finally broke out of what we called her emotional coma, and beat the shit out of him. He ended up in the hospital claiming a bear attacked him."

Zek raised an eyebrow, "okay, but it's still not that funny."

Link wiped the tears from her eyes, "I wasn't done. Some of the AV guys in our school had gotten the beating on video and aired it over all the TV's once Kevin got back to school. He was screaming like a girl, 'Please, stop. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.' Everyone ragged him for the rest of the year and Sera was given a medal by the feminists' society!"

Zek had started laughing when Link, was on the floor impersonating Kevin withering in agony.

Cai yelled from the room, "She's thrashing around and I can't hold her!"

Zek and Link jumped to their feet, ran to the room, and tried to squeeze through the small doorway.

Cai sitting on Sera's stomach, holding her arms down, "A little help please."

Link switched places with him, and whispered something in Sera's ear; while Zek and Cai held down her legs. "What's wrong with her, Link" Cai gritted through his teeth as Sera stopped thrashing instantly. He let go of her legs touched her forehead, "She has a high fever."

Zek stood next to him and noticed something wrong with the girl. He pushed Link off of Sera, "Shit, she's not breathing. Call an ambulance."

Link ran for the phone, but dialed Miranda instead. The woman answered on the first ring, "What's wrong?"

"Seraphim's been drugged, and she's not breathing."

"Blocker?"

"Yes."

"I'll teleport there-"

"Yes, one of the guys from next story is performing CPR now." Link said as she ran out of the room.

"Shit, they're humans aren't they?"

"Yes."

"Tell them I live down the street, and I'll be at your door in three minutes."

Link hung up the phone, "She'll be here in minutes."

"She" Zek screeched, "What happened to call for an ambulance?"

"Sera's specialist, she lives down the street."

Cai looked worriedly at the girl on the bed as Zek kept pounding on her chest, "Why does she have a specialist?"

"She has a rare illness that acts certain parts of the body, sometimes the brain, other times the heart. Luckily for Sera it attacked her eyes, but it can still spread if she's not careful for the next couple years."

"That's why her eyes look like that? I thought she wore contacts…" Cai whispered.

Zek just kept his head down concentrating on keeping the beautiful girl beneath him alive.

A/N: I am current working on Chapter 11 now, yeah! Now this chapter is shorter than my last, but it's one of my favorites. It was going to be longer, but my roommate who is an awesome author suggested that I end it here, and I agreed. Appearently I might get more reviews if I leave the end with a cliffhanger. That may seem mean, but have no reviews since April or May is meaner! -Harpy T.T
