Chapter Two

"Jazabell!" Her father growled out as he looked at the two of them, together. "What are you doing with him?" He growled out again, pointing to Zane. "I ca-" He began to speak, but Jazabell cut him off. "He came to apologize to me." She finished his sentence, but her father ignored her and continued to growl out at Zane. "I thought I told you to stay away from her! Did I not?" He yelled at him. "Well, I was just walking-" Zane said as he was cut off by Jazabell's father. "I did! Now do you want another scar from me?" He yelled at him then snarled. Jazabell looked at the scar then at her father. "You? You did this to him?" She began to yell at her father. He looked away from his daughter and Zane. "I can't believe you, would stoop that low!" She began to yell again. "I did it to protect you, Jazabell!" He yelled back. Jazabell phased and ran off into the wood. "Jaz! Wait!" Zane yelled to her as he phased and ran after her. Jazabell's father, Mason, just stood there for a moment then growled lowly, to himself and walked back towards their home.

Zane slowly approached her. She was whimpering quietly, but loud enough that he heard her. "Did he follow you?" Jazabell asked curiously and softly. Her voice was filled with sorrow. She looked at him from the corner on her eyes after she spoke. "No." He replied and walked towards her a little then stopped, sitting down next to her, letting her rest her head, against his. "Good." She spoke softly with a deep sigh. He felt her pain inside of his body. "Hey…" Zane said. "Lets go back to my place and watch a movie. You could stay the night, if you wanted to." He said softly and looked over at Jazabell. She rested her nose against his and smiled softly as she spoke, "Sounds great."

"Walk with me, my love." He said as he began walking towards his place. Jazabell walked along side of him with a small smile. They walked for about five minutes, filling each other in on the missing years and reminiscing old memories. They laughed and smiled all throughout their conversation.

"Well, here we are." He said as they approached the mansion like home. Jazabell's eyes lit up with amazement and curiosity. "It's amazing!" She chimed out and phased back then hugged him in his wolf form. He phased and hugged her back, smiling that same old wolfy grin. "It's nice to have you back again, Jazabell." He said with a smile.

Zane opened the door for her and let her in first. "I see you're a gentlemen again." Jazabell said sarcastically and jokingly. He just laughed and walked in after her, shutting the door behind him. "Zane, your house! It's amazing!" She said as she walked into the house almost instantly. Zane nodded and laughed silently. "Yea, I guess it is." He replied in agreement. Jazabell walked around the house, taking it all in, and studying what every inch of it looked like. He watched her silently until she walked over to him. "Wow…" Her voice trailed off as she stood in front of him, looking up at the vintage, yet church like ceiling.

Jazabell smiled and looked at him. "So, how long have you lived here?" She asked curiously. He furrowed his eyebrows as he thought. "Hmm… Well, secretively for the past five years, but only five minutes with someone knowing." He replied with a smile. She smiled back and shook her head a bit at his attempt to humor her. "Well, I'm glad your out of the gang." She spoke softly and looked into his eyes, softly touching his face. He put his hand on her hand. "Yea… Me too." He said softly as well, almost in a whisper. Zane kissed her forehead and embraced her tightly. "I missed you so much, Zane." Jazabell said in a whisper as her voice became unsteady. "I could never get you out of my head Jazzy." He replied in a whisper.

She pushed him away with tears in her eyes. "Do you know how much you even hurt me? The way you treated me ten years ago and then now, it hurts me deeply, Zane. You shattered my heart into thousands of pieces!" Jazabell began to speak aggressively as Zane just kept his head down and listened to her, taking everything that she was saying in. "I woke up for a year and a half, screaming from nightmares that seemed more like reality then just dreams! I'd wake up screaming for you while in my nightmares…" She stopped for a moment and cleared her throat. "You were hurting me…" Her voice trailed off as she began to cry. He just stood there, not sure of what to do or even say to her by now. "Jazabell I'm-", he began to say, but Jazabell cut him off. "No. Don't even say that your sorry. Maybe I forgave you a little too soon. How do I know your not going to just hurt me again and leave me in pieces out in the woods? Huh? How do I-" He cut her off with a deep and passionate kiss, wrapping his arms around her, and pulling her right up against him. "I'm not going to hurt you again. Never will I do anything to hurt you." He looked into her eyes as he spoke. She looked back with tears still in her eyes. "Okay…" She said softly, letting her voice trail off. He embraced her tightly again and stroked her head. "I'm sorry." He spoke in a whisper and wiped her tears away. "I really am." He whispered to her, looking deep into her eyes with his soft baby blue eyes. Zane pressed her head against his chest and then rested his chin, softly, on the top of her head as he stroked her hair more. Jazabell sniffled a little and cleared her throat, wrapping her arms around him. Her stomach growled a little and she laughed softly. He smiled and kissed her head. "Let's get you something to eat." He said as he patted her back a little then let go, and walked into the kitchen.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" She asked curiously. "Nope just sit down and relax." He said with a smile as he pulled out a chair at the table for her. She sat down and he pushed her in then started to cook. Jazabell thought her herself as he began cooking. She let the sounds of cooking take over her thoughts and soon fell asleep. Soon after, Zane looked at her and saw her sleeping. He stopped cooking and picked her up, then carried her to the couch. He laid her down and covered her up with a blanket, then went back to cooking.

She slept for a good hour when she woke up in a sweat and panic. Jazabell took a few deep breaths and calmed herself. She had another nightmare, which she thought were gone. She shook her head a bit and sat up, looking for Zane. It was quiet until she heard the sounds of cooking in the kitchen. She got up and walked into the kitchen. "Hey sleepy head." Zane said happily with a smile. "Hey." She replied and smiled back. "Do you mind if I take a bath?" She asked curiously. He shook his head. "No not at all. It's upstairs, third door on the right." He said as he pointed to the stairs. "Thanks." She said and kissed his cheek then walked upstairs and to the bathroom.

Jazabell walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. She turned the hot water on and poured some Lavender bubble bath into the tub. She looked around the bathroom, it was big yet homey. She soon found a smile on her face. After turning the water off, she got undressed and stepped into the warm water, this sent chills up her spine. She squirmed a little at the weird feeling then laid down into the water, putting her hair up in a bun before she did. The warm water calmed her down almost instantly, yet she still found the thoughts and memories sneaking up into her mind about what happened so long ago. She tried to let the warm water release all the stress her body held onto for the last ten years, but there was no luck.

About two minutes after she found herself crying and apparently, so did Zane. She heard him walk up the stairs and knock on the bathroom door. "Jazabell, are you okay?" He asked curiously and caringly as he put his ear to the door and waited for her response. "Yea. I'm fine." She replied and sniffled, wiping the tears away from her eyes. "May I come in?" He asked curiously. She cleared her throat and nodded to her self. "Yea, come in. I mean it's your bathroom and your house." She said with a soft laugh. He chuckled softly and came in then kneeled by the tub. "I heard you-", he began to say, but Jazabell interrupted him abruptly yet softly. "Crying. I know." She said as she pulled her knees up and held them, resting the side of her face against them. "Yea…" He said, his voice trailing off as he looked down.

Jazabell took a hand full of bubbles and put it in his hair. She laughed as he shook his head, shaking the bubbles off. "Hey!" He said and laughed then shoved bubbles in her hair and laughed more. She gasped then pulled him in with her. They laughed together then he brushed some hair behind her ear. "God… Your so beautiful Jazabell." He whispered softly and then kissed her passionately and softly. She kissed him back as he got out and picked her up, carrying her to his bed room, that he hoped he could call their's someday. She kissed him deeper as he got undressed. He laid her down on the bed then kissed every inch of her body…

An Hour Later...

Jazabell rested her head against his chest and smiled. "The old you is finally back." She spoke softly. He laughed silently. "That part of me came back because of you." He spoke just as softly as her. He kissed her head and stroked her hair. Her stomach growled a little. "I think you should eat now." He said with a smile and got dressed. She then got dressed as well and walked downstairs with him to the dining room.

He set the table and pushed her in then served dinner to her first. She looked at the plate of food. She wasn't really that hungry, but she knew she should eat. She hadn't eaten for three days now. She continued to look at the food, veal and a salad with a cup of wine. She bit her lip then smiled. "It looks good Zane." She said with a small smile. He smiled back. "Well, eat up, you need it. I mean your all skin and bones, my love." He said smiling some. She nodded in agreement and began to eat, drinking her cup of wine as she ate. "This is delicious! How did you become such a great cook?" She asked curiously. "Well, in the lat five years, I have been attending culinary classes." He said then took the last bite of his veal. She nodded again and finished her food and wine. "Could I have another glass of wine?" She asked. "Of coarse." He replied as he got up and poured her another cup of wine.

The began to talk again about what happened in the last five years that were missing. Jazabell finished her third cup of wine now and had one more. Zane laughed at her tipsy remarks. They were having a good time like the old times. "Do you still like movie, Jaz?" He asked curiously. She nodded and smiled, taking another sip of her wine. "I've gotten a love for those Scream movies still." She said, finishing up her wine. "Still? You still like those movies?" Zane said with a laugh. She laughed and nodded.

They got up and walked into the den. He sat down and she laid down, resting her head on his lap. "Well, since you mentioned those movies. Lets watch one." He said with a smile and kissed her softly. Jazabell smiled and giggled a little as he began to play the movie. They watched it quietly until every killing scene where Jazabell found it necessary to call the victims a dumbass for falling for the trap. Zane just laughed silently. The only other time that she said anything about the movie was when the main girl, Cid, fell for having sex with the other murder. She went on for about five minutes, complaining about how stupid the girl was. Zane laughed again and told her to be nice. For the rest of the movie they sat quietly till the end. He went to say something to her, but saw that she was asleep so he gently got up then picked up and carried her to his bedroom. He laid her down and then laid down next to her. Jazabell opened her eyes a little and smiled, then rested her head on his chest, and went back to sleep.
