Here's the second chapter of Saving Her, hope you enjoy and please review :)x

Zhane had now stopped staring into space and was walking around the Mega-ship trying to find out where everyone had gone. He walked into Andros' room and found no sign of anyone or where they were going, so he went off and checked TJ and Carlos' rooms but he still couldn't find anyone. The next room was Cassie's and he was pretty sure that she would be inside. Opening the door slowly as not to startle her, peeking through the gap, he spotted Cassie curled up in a ball facing away from him.

"Cass? You okay?" He asked soothingly.

Cassie turned to look at the person who had just entered, her eyes were a swollen red colour and had many tears trickling down her cheeks before she turned her face back towards the wall. Zhane walked up to her and sat down on the edge of the bed and his usual cheery smile was starting to vanish from his face.

"Come on Cass? Whats wrong?"

Cassie stayed silent with the tears still falling thick and fast.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me whats wrong."

The pink ranger hated it when the silver Astro ranger did this. She always felt it made him seem so stubborn and nothing like the person he actually was.

"You wouldn't understand" Cassie sighed finally giving in, knowing that he wouldn't let her get away with staying silent.

"How do you know I wouldn't understand? You have no idea until you tell me please Cass?" Zhane gave her his puppy eyes as she always seemed to back down when they came out.

Sighing once again, Cassie rolled up the arms on her hoodie and revealed three deep cuts on each arm. After about thirty seconds, she covered them back up so he didn't have to see the blood still trickling out of the cuts, any longer.

"Why?" was all Zhane could manage to get out of his lips, his eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

"I..It just started happening."

"When, How?"

"For a couple of months now. It makes me feel good about myself, like I can do anything and like I actually belong here. But now I have done it once, I... I can't help but do it over and over again. I just have to make sure no ones around."

"Aww Cass" Zhane said pulling her head into his chest where he continued to cry her eyes out.

A couple of hours had passed and Zhane had now left Cassie to be by herself for a bit. As he was walking across the bridge he literally bumped into Andros who had just come back from Angel Grove with the other Space rangers.

"Zhane? Why is your T-Shirt wet?"

Zhane looked down to see what his best friend was talking about and spotted the the wet patch where Cassie had been crying into.

"Oh I.. I spilt my drink and was just about to go change." He stammered hoping to get away with it.

"Yeah right Zhane. What do you take me for? I know you better than that and that just wouldn't be like you."

"Well it's true" And with that Zhane went walking off towards his room.

Upon reaching his room, he opened up his wardrobe door and pulled out another grey T-Shirt and placed it on, so his story to Andros became more believable. The silver ranger had never really been good at lying but he knew he had to keep his story straight for Cassie's sake.

Flashback

"Zhane please don't tell anyone! I really can't deal with them knowing right now. They would just make things worse."

"I promise I won't tell a soul unless you want me to." One of his cheerful smile sketching itself onto his face once again.

"Thanks Zhane I know I can always trust you."

"Don't worry I'm always here to help. Just say the word and I will help you out with whatever you need."

End Flashback

Zhane was so busy thinking about what Cassie had told him that he didn't notice the letter that had just been slid under his door. When Zhane finally noticed he walked over to the door and carefully picked up the envelope and delicately pulled the letter out before he started to read it.

Dear Zhane,

I'm sorry It had to be like this but I can't risk the others finding out so by the time you read this, I will have already started my journey back to my old life before I became a power ranger. On the otherside of your door in another envelope is my morpher. I'm sorry it had to end like this but it's too much of a risk now. I hope that one day I could see you guys again but until then I bid you fairwell and I wouldn't try, trying to locate me as it won't do you any favours.

Yours Cassie

"Why Cass? Why" Zhane let out, his voice barely above a whisper. He didn't care whether she wanted to be found or not, but he wasn't going to just let her vanish out of his life like that. He wasn't willing to loose her in anyway.
