Sorry it took so long, writers block. Well here's part 4.

Enjoy.

Part 4- Awakening, An Unexpected Visitor

Fuzzy vision meant everything fuzz. Fuzz, everywhere, there was fuzz. It was annoying. He couldn't wait for his eyes to adjust and slowly they did. He looked around the room slowly, Doc Saturday was slumped over in a chair dozing, Drew was curled up on a couch.

"Good to see you awake Mini Man." Zak's head snapped up, which was a bad idea 'cause now the world was spinning like a Tilt-A-Whirl. He fell back onto the pillow and smiled sheepishly at his uncle Doyle. "Whoa take it easy."

"What're you doing here Doyle?" Zak asked his sapphire orbs glinting in the dull room. He proceeded to left his upper body up which at the moment felt like lead.

"You're parents gave me a call, telling me you where in critical condition. I came her two days ago to visit," Doyle explained. Zak almost shot out of his bed.

"Two days ago?! How long have I been out?!" He had to mentally and physically make sure he wasn't shouting, so as not to disturb his parents.

"Just the two days, hey I got here fast Mini Man. They weren't sure if you'd make it." Zak rested his head in his hand, his fingertips lightly touching his face. He'd closed his eyes and appeared in thought. Two days unconscious? That didn't seem normal. Critical condition? It was that bad? He dug his fingernails into his skin, scrunching his eyes tight.

He was doing it again…he was worrying them. Why? He'd made sure he wasn't as reckless on missions these past two years, for fear of never going on a mission again and worrying his parents. It made him feel bad, the day after the fight between both worlds his mother and Fiskerton especially those two, kept hugging him and telling him how happy they all were because he was back…And how worried they'd been.

Thank the lord he'd never told them what'd occurred in Weird World or the second world. They'd most likely always be checking on him, hooking him up to various machines to see just how much damage had been dealt to the teens body. He didn't want that he wanted them to be able to depend on him in situations and not have to worry about him so much.

Then again what if he had an attack and they needed him? He swallowed hard, what then? Maybe he should tell them…

He was brought back to reality when he felt Doyle rest his hand on his shoulder. "You should rest up." He said slowly. "It's late."

"I've been asleep for two days Doyle…I think I've rested enough." The boy said softly. Truthfully the youth was worn completely out of his mind, he was barely managing to keep his eyes open. Those two unconscious days hadn't helped him at all. Yet he persisted in keeping his eyes open, Doyle didn't buy it, the boy looked like he was about to collapse.

"Hey I'm not an idiot Mini Man, get some rest." The redhead much to the youth's whispered protests tucked the teen in tightly. The blankets were tucked in so tight that the boy could hardly move, and to add to his bound was the fact that his limbs felt like lead still.

"Doyle!" The boy hissed quietly. "Rrr…you cheater!" The man simply waved and quietly exited the room.

Zak's head landed roughly on the pillow and he sighed, his eyes slowly beginning to close. Once more he was cast into darkness, it was…oddly enough comforting, the vast endless void with no others around. It was nice, except now he wasn't alone in this endless haze.

There was that thing in here too. Though it hadn't talked to him since he passed out two days ago. Slowly he whispered. "Who are you?"

Nothing.

"Can you please tell me?"

Silence. The teen gritted his teeth anger flaring. It dwindled in an instant, maybe it was a dream?

'You called?' The voice slithered out. The boy gasped and wriggled a bit acting as though he was trying to get away. But he couldn't this thing was inside of him.

"Out of my head…" He hissed softly.

"No. No. No. I'm afraid I can't do that. You see I still need your body.' He took the conversation to his head, afraid he'd yell.

What're you going to do with me?

"Hm…I'm simple feeding off you're power Saturday. That's all I need from you." Zak gritted his teeth and furrowed his brow.

So basically I'm just like a double A battery to you?

"Basically. And batteries eventually run dry, once that happens…" There was that chuckle from before, the teen physically shuddered. "I'll simply kill you."

When I get my hands on you…Pain shot through the youths body and he had to bite his lip in order not to cry out.

"Threats will get you know where Saturday." His tone held spite as he said Zak's last name. "You see I still have to get revenge on that damned Envoy. And you won't get in the way."

How do you know Celestic?

Silence, the boy asked again. Nothing, just plain silence. Sleep finally took hold of the boy, the fight leaving him quickly. Sleep…that's what he needed to do. Just sleep and dream…and maybe even figure out a way to get this odd creature out of him.

The next time his eyes opened , there was light in the room. Sunlight. He sat up, surprised to find Isabel sitting in a chair next to his bed, her head bobbing up and down. Her jade eyes fluttered for a moment before getting into focus. The widened and a smile graced her face.

"Oh you're awake!" The girl squeaked eyes wide, flustered she reached over and grabbed something from a brown rucksack, it was a small metallic container. A blush hued across her face as she presented it to him, he blinked rapidly a few times and looked at her confused.

"What is it?" He asked embarrassed. This made her even more flustered and she averted her jade gaze away from him.

"Um I know we don't know each other that well…but I heard you liked pie a-and pie can make people feel better…now I wasn't sure what type so I chose randomly. I-I hope you don't mind and I hope you don't have an allergic reaction! O-Or hate it."

She bowed her head and presented it to him again. He smiled and gladly took it, he removed the containers lid to find apple pie. Food, his smile widened. Food was a good thing, and dessert food before real food was on the 'awesome gift that Zak likie a lot' list. Upon further inspection he noticed the small pie was divided into four even pieces.

He wrapped his fingertips around the crust of one of the pieces of pie and gently lifted it up. Getting a better hold of it he brought it to his mouth and bit in, crumbs spilling down his shirt.

He chewed slowly, from the corner of his eye he could see Isabel had her hands in her lap, fingers laced with one another. Her jade eyes looked at her hands all the while an embarrassed blush hued her face.

She'd baked him a pie, got a ticket for a plane, and flew all the way here, just to deliver it to him. It made her blush deepen just thinking about it, it sounded as if she was his girlfriend or something. At this thought her blush once again deepened and her jade eyes shifted upward. He was still chewing she bit her lip, was it bad?

It was good, in fact it was wonderful! Smiling he quickly finished off the first piece, and then onto the second. By the third he was full, which surprised him. He figured he'd be a lot hungrier, but shrugging his shoulders, he placed the lid back onto the container, he'd finish it later.

"Was it good?" Her voice wavered slightly. He looked at her grinning and wiped the crumbs off of his face with his sleeve.

"You bet, thanks!" The teen grinned. Her eyes brightened and a smile bloomed upon her face.

"Really, you're not making it up? It was good?" She asked slowly, just to make sure. Zak nodded the smile not leaving his face.

"Uh-huh. Best I've ever tasted, I bet you could be one of those culinary people." He felt her hands clasp around his left hand, this caused him to look into her eyes. Which were sparkling with tears. He winced, aw man what did he do?! "Did I say something wrong?" He stammered quickly eyes wide.

She was silent as she brought his hand up and rested her forehead on it. He felt the tears splash against his hand and prayed she answered him soon, maybe he could fix it. "No you didn't. I mean I've heard the same comments from my grandparents…but hearing it from you…well it just made me so happy."

"Then why are you crying?" Zak asked cautiously afraid he'd make it worse. Suddenly small giggles erupted from the girl and she brought her head up while releasing Zak's hand, which he kept in the air. He slowly reached out to her and hesitantly rested his hand on her shoulder.

"I have no idea." She brought her hands up and wiped away the tears. "I'm just silly I guess."

"Nah I don't think so." Zak said softly. "I think you're pretty cool Iz and you make a mean apple pie."

"Thanks."
