Zek felt like he had been performing CPR for hours, Cai and Link were waiting at the door for the doctor

Zek felt like he had been performing CPR for hours, Cai and Link were waiting at the door for the doctor. He just kept staring down at Sera tears forming in his eyes as she laid there dying by the second. Why am I even crying? I hardly know this girl, it would be sad if she died, but why am I so franticly trying to save her life? His tears started to fall, why, why do I care if she dies? Why did I care if she was angry with me, why did I care?

There was a loud bang as the door flew open and a woman knocked him off of Sera's body. Link was getting a cold bowl of water as the woman resumed CPR.

The woman turned to Zek, "I don't know who you are, but you need to leave now."

Zek was about to protest until he saw Link take scissors to Sera's top; he turned to the door "I hope you know what you're doing" he growled out before slamming the door shut behind him.

Miranda smirked, "If you only knew boy, if you only knew…Link pour that water over her chest. It should give her enough energy so I can disconnect her magic from her life."

Link's eyes were wide in horror, "won't that keep her from using magic ever again?"

"No, it's just temporary. I'm not removing her magic; I'm just hiding it until the blockers leave her body. She'll be normal human, at least for a little while."

Link sighed as she poured the water over Sera's chest, a black light engulf the water before it had time to puddle on her skin.

Miranda stopped performing CPR when her hands started glow green. Closing her eyes, she slid them into Sera's body "This is going to be difficult considering she has two magic elements in her." Hissing in pain, Miranda pushed her arms deeper into Sera's abdomen.

Link was watching Miranda carefully as she moved her arms as if she was wrapping something in a blanket. When she pulled her arms out, they were steaming an ugly red- black color, "Will she be alright?" Miranda cleaned a hand off quickly before covering Sera's mouth. "What are you doing to her now?" Link watched in horror: Sera's body arched away from the bed, her screams muffed by Miranda's hand.

"Her magic is very strong, so her body is going into withdrawals from the lack of constant power," Miranda removed her hand when the screams stopped.

Sera body was still arched upward painfully like someone was trying to rip out her heart. Eventually she fell back on the mattress. The women watched as the blue faded from Sera's hair and her skin became a paler white before returning to its original color. When she gasped her lips turned a rosy pink, and her eyes flew open revealing crystal blue eyes with round pupils. Her eyes were darting around the room franticly, while she was clutching the sheets.

Link gripped Sera's arm squeezing it lightly, "How are you feeling?"

Sera visible relaxed at her friends touch, "drained," her voice was extremely hoarse from screaming earlier. She turned her head and stared at the other woman, "Haven't seen you in awhile."

Miranda smiled shaking her dark brown curls slightly, "It seems the only time I get to see you, is when there's an emergency."

Sera sat up holding her aching head, "I think we should try to put a stop to that…Ugh my head is splitting open, and why does my chest feel like someone beat me with a bat."

Link giggled softly before letting her face fall again, "You weren't breathing, so Zek had to do CPR for five minutes."

Sera went to her drawers and changed into a pair of white yoga pants and a light gray hood. Miranda was watching her carefully, "Are you okay?"

Sera glared at the woman, "No, I'm not."

Link left the room to tell the boys that she was feeling better; while Miranda and Sera spoke, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! I was just drugged with at least 25 milligrams of a magic blocker that near killed me; while I was a college frat party. The fact someone had the nerve to try and dispose of me in such an arcane way unnerves me."

Miranda sighed loudly, "I know you're upset but you're not writing a novel, switch back to normal English."

Sera growled softly, "I'm sorry this way of speech aggravates you, but you know that I can't help it." Sera started pacing slowly around the library, "No one has used those drugs in over six years, since the end of the war. So logical speaking: the person who drugged me is couldn't have been more than twelve back then, and was involved in the wars somehow."

"Yes, but it also could have been some teen who taught he was trying to drug a girl to sleep with him, right."

"No, you see I looked into the makings of the potion back when we were still at war with the vampires. It takes months to make a magic blocker."

"Maybe an old potion made years ago."

"No, they lose their potency after three years, this was made recently." Sera stared at her self in a small hand mirror, "I look like a human…how am I suppose to cover up the fact that my eyes have change color and shape? I can pretend that I dye my hair, but the eyes are a different story."

Miranda handed her a pair of sunglasses, "What if the drugs messed with your eyesight and you can't look into direct light?"

Sera sighed and placed the glasses on her face, "That is plausible," she pulled on her hood to hide her completely black hair, and reached for the door handle sighing, "I guess it time to rejoin the masses huh?"

Miranda nudged her arm, "Not talking like that…"

Sera closed her eyes and breathed in a couple of times, before whispering softly, "You can be such a pain in the ass sometimes, Miranda."

"Much better," the woman smirked and opened the door leading Sera out to her worried friends.

The next day…

Zek was sitting in his kitchen eating lunch, but his mind was elsewhere. I should have taken her to a hospital, what if she's still drugged? I hope that doctor did everything to help her, she wasn't breathing for a long time. What if she suffered some brain damage from lack of oxygen, or worse?

Cai walked into the room, and noticed that his roommate looked like he was about to puke, "Dude, did you drink to much last night?"

Zek never answered, he just kept staring at he counter.

Cai sighed and walked over to him "If you're that worried about her, just go see her." He tapped Zek's shoulder when he still didn't respond.

"Huh, oh what's up man?"

"Go see her"

"But I don't know if I should."

"Why, it's not like Link won't let you."

"That's not it." He turned to face his friend, "It's just," put his forehead on the counter and sighed, "It's not like I don't want to see her,…the opposite really. But I want to know why I feel like have to see her or something doesn't feel right."

"What do you mean? Like have to see her because you took her to the party?"

"No it's like…if I didn't go running everyday. I just feel like I must to do it or my whole day is incomplete."

Cai started laughing softly at his clueless friend, "Dude, I know what's wrong with you."

Zek sat back in his chair with his hands over his face, "and what is that?"

"You are falling in love with Sera." As soon as those words left his mouth, Zek's hands dropped and he looked like a deer caught in head lights.

"No."

"Yup, you're fallin' for her and hard too."

Zek jumped away from his roommate and ran to put his dishes in the sink shaking his head in denial, "Well what about you? Are you falling with Link?"

Cai started eating his own cereal, "No not yet, but we're dating now so who knows…"

Zek started beating his head against the refrigerator mumbling, "This can't be happening."

"Denial doesn't help, dude. Plus, I don't see the problem here; you two have so much in common it's scary. Plus she's cute, a little Gothic in her style but still cute."

Zek just slid to the floor, "I hardly know the girl, how can I be falling in love with her?"

Cai shrugged and patted his buddies shoulder, "I can't answer that for you, but since your day will be incomplete without seeing her, I suggest you go complete your day. While I go visit my new girlfriend," and with that Cai walked out the front door leaving Zek alone in their room.

Outside of the dorm hall…

This morning Sera and Link went to go get her bike from the parking lot. Once they loaded the bike up, Sera noticed that Link car was leaking oil. So now it was high noon, Sera had on her mechanic overalls, a black sports bra since it was like ninety degrees out, and the sunglasses. Her all now black hair was pulled back into a pony-tail and she was already grease covered. "Great! Not only is she leaking oil but there's a crack in the gas line!"

Someone chuckled at her; which just drove her annoyance level up another notch, "You never fail to amaze me with how anti-famine you are."

Sera rolled out from under the car to come face to face with a squatting Zek. Just seeing him, drove her up one more level, "Maybe you can show me how to be famine." She spat out the last word, grabbed her tools, and shimmied under the car again. Bastard! I don't care if he carried me back, and then performed CPR to keep me alive. I'm still not going to be nice to him; plus he doesn't like me like that anyway…

Zek stared dumbfounded at her legs which was the only thing uncovered by the convertible, "No need to get all bitchy, I just came to see how you were feeling?" he stood and leaned against the car with his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah, right! What's it matter to you if I feel better or not." Sera rolled out from under the car looking for a socket wretch, but she never looked at him once. "You made it very clear last night at the party that you don't care for me, so don't jerk my chain. What is it that you really want?"

"I really just came to make sure you were feeling better," Zek mumbled out. He was confused beyond reason, when did I tell her I didn't care for her. He thought over everything they talked about, and then it hit him. She must think that I don't like her because I didn't kiss her back last night!!

Sera found the tool and popped the hood checking the oil, "I'm a little tired, but otherwise I'm fine, thank you."

Zek sighed and touched her arm, "I'm sorry."

"For what, you did nothing wrong. You were being honest, and I'm glad that you-"

"But you don't understand."

Sera flinched away at his touch and faced him, "What do you mean, I don't understand. I asked you if you were gay, had a girlfriend, or didn't find me attractive."

Zek looked down at her softly, "Yes and I said that I wasn't gay or had a girlfriend, but that doesn't mean I don't find you attractive." He stood each inches away from her now.

"Yes it does." As she stuck her greased covered hands in her back pockets.

"Not to me." Zek wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her the same way she kissed him the night before.

Sera was shocked, but she closed her eyes. damn this boy knows how to kiss a girl. Her body betrayed her and she let out a pleasurable moan feeling like she had melted into a pile of goo in his arms.

Zek reluctantly pulled away staring at the girl in his arms. She was leaning into him, with her eyes closed, and panting with her month slightly open. God she's gorgeous! Damn Cai was right for once; I am falling for her, and I don't care either. I want to be with her. Zek sealed his lips with hers again, and she let out another moan that drove him insane.

Sera felt him lick her bottom lip silently asking for her permission, which she eagerly gave him. After a couple minutes in pure bliss, Sera pulled away to catch her breath.

Zek touched his forehead to hers and sighed closing his eyes, "Listen I've never been good at this type of thing. I'm usually pretty shy around pretty girls like you, but I feel like there's something between us." He kissed her lightly on the lips this time.

Since Sera's legs had given out after their second kiss; he was now the only thing holding her from hitting the floor. She opened eyes and looked up at him as he grinned lazily.

"I was wondering if you would like to go out with me…once you feel better that is," he decided to kiss her passionately one last time before she gave him an answer.

Sera's mind had completely shut down at his question. She was trying to think if she really wanted to start dating again, but the fact that Zek was kissing her and holding her tighter to his body as if she was going to run away clouded her mind. Sera's body took over as she ran her greased covered hands through his shaggy hair, and moaning like an animal in heat.

Zek smirked into the kiss and pulled as close as he could, molding her body into his. He felt like they fit perfectly, every curve and dip in their bodies matched exactly. She's perfect, absolutely perfect…

Sera couldn't think straight. She never wanted it to end: the feeling of his arms around her waist and on her back pulling her against him, his searing body heat warming every part of her, his tongue exploring her mouth so slowly it was agonizing. She had never felt like this ever, not even with Aaron.

Zek pulled away just enough to breathe, "So what do you think?"

Sera's head was swimming, trying to remember what he had asked her in the first place, what were we talking about?? Something about last night, I think.

Zek got worried when she didn't say anything, but he stayed where he was and holding her just as tight.

Sera finally recalled their earlier conversation, and nibbling on his bottom lip lightly causing him to close his eyes and shudder, "Does that answer your question?"

Zek was trying very hard not to just throw caution to the wind and ravish the woman in his arms, right here in the parking lot since they were people around. "uuuhh," was all he could get out though.

Sera smirked evilly and tried to escape from his embrace, but it was like a steel trap, "I really should finish my work, now."

Zek just nodded but his arms stayed where they were for a couple of minutes before falling slow to his sides.

Sera gave him a quick kiss on the lips before walking, rather wobbly mind you, back to the creeper.

Zek smirked she looks like a new born horse trying to stand. He walked up behind her quickly, wrapped his arms around her tiny waist, and placed his chin on the top of her head, "You doing anything tonight?"

Sera grinned and shook her head, "Yeah, Link and I are having dinner at Richard's to figure out this whole family thing, sorry."

Zek sniffed her hair softly, she smelled faintly like a fresh rain, "Don't sweat it. I have some homework, I should do anyway."

Sera felt bad, but there was nothing she could do, not with the children still missing and rogue wolves in their lands. Her people needed her and the council now more than ever.

"We'll find some other time to go."

"Go, where?"

Zek let her go and started to go back to his room, but not before whispering in her ear, "That my dear, is the secret."

Sera just watched him leave with a goofy grin pasted on her face as she turned back to the fluid-leaking convertible. "Ten months later, and already on to another man, you are shameless Sera," she giggled at the slight tingle on her lips before rolling back under the car.
