Author's note: I am so sorry for the late update. Believe it or not, I actually didn't have much trouble coming up with Z words. I had fun writing these, I just haven't had much time lately. Although it is a bit bittersweet, since it is an ending, I hope I've left you with a smile!
Disclaimer: Last disclaimer! Yay! These things get tedious. Anyway, I do not own The Infernal Devices.
Zealous
"Surely you are not serious."
"You must not know me very well, Madam."
"B-but," Tessa spluttered, "it is only a duck."
"Exactly," Will declared, drawing a long knife out of his coat.
Tessa reached for his arm. "William—"
"Don't bother, Tessa," Jem called from behind her. "There is no reasoning with him when he's in this mood."
She spun around to face Jem, utterly confused. "But why does he want to kill the ducks?"
Zenith
The big cat slowly padded down the hallway. Someone was here, he knew, and that someone was upset. He also knew that the human following him was compassionate enough to help. So he sniffed the air until he caught the one scent he wanted to follow. Only a few steps later he found the room. Thankfully the door was cracked open enough to allow him access.
"Oh!" the girl exclaimed. He must have startled her. She put a hand down, calling to him in a gentle voice. "Here, kitty. Here kitty, kitty."
He meowed to call his follower in, but soon realized that there was no need. The boy was already there.
The two humans started talking and he stayed for a while, but eventually grew bored. Although he did enjoy the attention he was getting from the boy, he instinctively knew that the girl needed the attention more.
So as the moon reached its zenith in the sky, Church leapt down from the boy's warm lap and slunk out into the hallway, satisfied that his work was done.
For tonight, at least.
And that is it! For Infernal Devices, anyway. I will not promise anything more than this: I will attempt TMI alphabet drabbles. If I like what comes out on the computer screen, I will upload it. Thank you so much for all the reviews and hits and devotion through my inconsistent uploads! You have made my life a bit sweeter since I started this and you have given me many smiles and giggles. Every last one of you is amazing, simply because you took the time to tune in! I wish you all the best of luck and I will now say goodbye because I am ranting! :)
