WARNING: NSFW FOR SEX SCENES. (PS: Yes.. I know... finally!)

Zill lay quiet in his cell. The dim lighting perfectly captured the silence. His eyes, however, were wide and ready, staring forward at the two goons guarding his cell.

They were chatting without a care in the world, unaware of Zill's machinations the past few hours. Charles had placed them under watch for a few hours now, and Zill expected that he would return soon for another "conversation" with him.

Though, Zill wasn't going to stay locked up without a fight. For a while now, Zill had been yanking on the chains, loosening the base of the walls behind him. If he put enough force into it, he could break free from the chains. Though, if he failed… He shook it off, trying to ignore the doubts in his mind.

He wanted to wait. Wait for a slight chance that he might be wrong. Perhaps, the person in his mind wouldn't leave him behind.

But he wasn't going to wait. He knew he needed to escape no matter the outcome. His friends lives could be in danger at the very moment. After the threat Charles gave, he knew he might try to target his friends next to gain an advantage over him.

His eyes just stared at the goons before he looked beside him. Slowly, his hands grasped onto the chains on either side of him. He slowly spun the chains, circling them around his palms, strengthening his grip.

He could feel the prickling on his skin; the pain from his injuries was almost paralyzing. His eyes started getting drowsy, but he needed to do this.

His legs curled as he raised his heels, getting ready to kick off the ground. A slight aura of green energy enveloped his soles and palms as he got ready to make a break for it.

"One," he whispered, closing his eyes and focusing on his strength, trying to forget his pain. His fingers began curling and relaxing. His knees lifted an inch off the ground.

"Two..."

His hands clamp off the chains making the metal cling as they bumped against one another.

WHAT'RE YOU DOING?!!

One of the goons suddenly yelled, causing Zill's eyes to widen; a gasp escaped his mouth. He looked in front of him and a hint of panic rose within his mind, but he was perplexed to see them looking away from him, toward the direction of the corridor.

Suddenly, he could hear a whoosh of air as a small dud was heard when something suddenly flew and struck one of the goons' neck. Blood splattered everywhere as it looked like a small dagger had pierced his lung. The goon choked as his hand desperately fumbled around his neck. His knees buckled under him, and he fell to the ground, shrieking in pain.

The other goon was caught off guard by the sight of his colleague dying and blood spewing on his clothes, but quickly composed himself as he raised his rifle in the direction of the corridor. His finger was ready to fire, but a bit of blood was covering his eyes as he wiped them. Zill was one step ahead, however; as he immediately thrust his feet upward, causing the chains behind him to burst and break. His body then lurched forward toward the goon standing outside of his cell gate.

The surviving goon flinched as he saw Zill dashing towards him. He immediately shifted his aim in panic toward Zill. Though, he had forgotten about the mysterious assailant and, before he knew it, the goon's body hit the floor while someone stood above him.

Above him, pinning him down, was none other than Lauretta. She was glaring fiercely at the goon, while the dagger in her hand sliced through the air.

The dagger immediately punctures through the side of his head, skewering his brain. Lauretta growled as she pulled the dagger, causing his scalp to explode with bits of his brain.

Zill could clearly see her panting profusely before she turned to him. Her face instantly softened, as if she hadn't just murdered someone in cold blood.

"What are you doing here?" Zill asked her as she grunted.

"I'm fucking saving you!" She shouts as she scrambles around the dead body, searching for any keys to open the cell gate.

"Here!" she exclaims as she finds a set of keys that could unlock the cell gate.

"You're fucking lucky I'm here," she said. "These cell gates are rigged with explosives. If you had forced them open, you would have been blown to bits." She explained, making Zill sweat a little as he realized how close he came to being killed.

If she had been a little late, he might have taken himself out by mistake.

She tried the keys one by one until one of them caused a click as the cell gate was unlocked.

She exclaims, "Yes!" and then pushes the gate open.

Meanwhile, Zill was still perplexed as to how she knew where he was, and he was about to ask the question when she suddenly jumped on him.

He was surprised as her arms wrapped around him as her face went to his side.

"Thank God you're alive!" she exclaimed in relief as she embraced him.

He grunted suddenly, feeling the pain in his lower torso. Lauretta instinctively pushed herself away, hearing his grunts of pain.

She looked at his body, which was still in a particularly bad shape.

"You're hurt!" she exclaimed, pointing out his injury. But he shook his head and replied, "No, I'm fine." He winced slightly as he spoke, trying to hide the pain. She knew he needed more time to recover, but they didn't have much time.

"I'm sorry, Zill, but we have to go!!"

"How did you find me?" He asked her but she responded in a hurry.

Lauretta shouts, "We don't have time; we need to leave now!!" She takes a peek around the corridor, making sure no one has been alerted.

"The coast is clear, we can make it if we run, he might not suspect anything yet but we'd probably bump into some of them on the way out..."

She explained but as she looked back, Zill still stood in his cell, not moving an inch.

"Zill come on!! We need to-

"No! Not until you answer me!" He demands but Lauretta clicks her tongue.

The impatient vixen then yelled at him, "Why does it matter?!! We need to get you out of here!! Who knows what he's planning right now?!".

"What does it... ha..." He chuckles weakly before glaring at her. Lauretta flinched at his gaze.

"What are you not telling me, Lauretta? Tell me, why were you all bloodied up the night we met?" Zill asks her as she couldn't believe what he's saying.

"What?! We've been together from the start! You know what my husband did to me? Isn't this what I'm saving you for? To help me stop him-

"Or is it revenge? To get the money he stole from you? Your 'dad's' money?" Zill cuts her off making her freeze on her spot. Her eyes were just glued onto his as her lips were shut tight.

"N-no, I..." Somehow, words couldn't leave her mouth. Her eyes fearfully moved towards his as her expression shifted.

"What did he tell you?" She asks him as he grunts.

"He told me enough..." Zill says, moving pass her as Lauretta clench her fist.

"I hoped he was wrong..." Zill turned back and weakly murmurs. His fist clenched as he stares at the floor in disappointment.

"So tell me Lauretta, is it true?" He asks her but she still chooses silence as an answer.

"Fine.." Zill mutters before suddenly stomping towards her. Lauretta was caught off guard as she threw her hand up to guard herself but she was too late.

One of Zill's hands suddenly grabbed her neck as she was pushed back against the cell walls. A loud thud banged out as she was pinned against the hard, mossy wall. Her paws desperately clawed against his hand, but he remained immobile, his eyes still staring daggers at her.

"Z-Zill please... He's trying to turn you against me..." She begs to let her go.

"Then tell me the truth!!" Zill didn't bat an eye at her plead of mercy.

"P-please..."

Though she could feel his strength, it wasn't enough to choke her, but it was necessary to keep her pinned. Immediately recognizing his intentions, she surrendered her secrets.

"I... I was furious... I should've seen it coming but... I had hoped that my father wouldn't do something so stupid..." Lauretta spoke but Zill didn't soften his grip and just kept listening.

"My dad secretly wagered MY inheritance away for the sake of his fucking empire with Charles... Little did my father know, Charles is cunning, and my dad just disappeared one night... Everything I was supposed to have, all of it suddenly went straight into his arms..."

"So, all of this... it was just so you could get back your dad's dirty cash?!! Just so you could inherit your father's position?!! Just to go back to how things were?!!" Zill asks her with a serious tone.

"No!! Its how things should've been!! And what difference does it make?!! What did you think I was doing all of this for?!! I can't lose everything I worked so fucking hard to- kcckk.."

She choked slightly when Zill's grip tightened a little. Her feet lifted off the floor as her neck was grasped.

"Then, should I just kill you right here, right now? If all of this is just going to turn you into the man you're trying so hard to kill?" Zill asks her, and his rage can be seen in his eyes. A flash of fear hits her; something she never thought she would feel with the person in front of her, but her throat is being crushed at the same time.

"P-please... I... I'm sorry..." Lauretta croaks as her arms start grasping onto his unmoving hand.

Zill looked away as his hands started trembling. His lips quivered and his body vibrated. Suddenly, he released her from his grasp, causing her to fall onto the floor. She gasped desperately for air. Her hands clutched at her neck, while saliva dripped from her lips uncontrollably. As she began to recover from the choke, Zill's eyes widened in shock.

Zill felt a little sorry for her as he looked at her state, but his disappointment in her betrayal quickly removed any remorse from within him. He walked silently towards the open cell gate.

"ha... Wait..." Lauretta coughs.

He stopped in his tracks but he didn't look at her.

"Please Zill, I've never had any intention to lie to you!! I didn't want to hurt your feelings after all we've been through... I just don't want you to think that you were helping... a scum... like me..."

His face softens for a while but quickly wrinkles back towards disappointment.

"It didn't matter what you were... I helped you for one reason, and it's because you needed it,... Because you were running away, like I was... I chose to save you in that alley that night because I thought you deserved a second chance at life... clearly, I was a fool..."

"I actually thought you'd change Lauretta... I guess I'm fuckin stupid to believe in the words of some criminal..." Zill pointed out as Lauretta bit her lips in regret.

She shook her head, "You trusted me... I didn't want to tell you, I-I just can't..."

"You're right... But I guess that's how you played me..."

He chuckled a bit at the end of his sentence. He guess things do revolve in a circle. His distrust with Jack was the same as her with him.

"Look Zill, listen, I had no choice, I didn't want to lose yo-, *sigh* I didn't want to lose again..." She diverted her words from the truth.

Suddenly, blaring alarms interrupted her as the duo flinched. Red lights started to cover the entire cell which made Zill confused.

"Charles!!" Lauretta suddenly spoke making Zill turn to her.

Zill instantly runs out of the cell, dashing across the corridors.

"Z-Zill!!" She screams but he was already miles away.

Outside the mansion,

A bunch of goon were aiming towards the door of the mansion. Some stood behind large black SUVs, aiming their guns as well.

One goon stood in front, presumably the leader, as he holds his hands up, waiting for any sign of Zill approaching.

Some of them started getting restless at the total silence. Sweat drops from their brows as they waited anxiously.

Amidst the silence, a series of mumbles and mutters could be heard coming from someone. One of the goons, a serpian, could be seen praying, holding a small cross connecting to his necklace. His hand shook as he muttered his prayer.

"Hey... Hey!!" Someone besides him calls and nudges on his shoulder causing the goon to flinch.

"Shut up!" He continues before aiming back at the mansion door.

The serpian was still shaking but tucks thr necklace inside his shirt. His hand loosely hanging on his gun while his body shivered slightly.

Suddenly, a series of gunshots could be heard coming from inside the house followed with flashes of lights which could be seen from the windows. The gang of goons immediately readies their aim. Their fingers gluing onto their triggers.

Suddenly, flames burst from the balcony on the second floor. The bright light immediately illuminated the goons below as they shifted their aim towards the flames.

Screams could be heard from inside, building the fear up in the group. Even their leader was baffled at the situation. Suddenly, they could see a panicking figure coming out from the fire.

Bright orange flames covered his entire body as he flailed around; his shrieks sent chills down their spines. He stumbled over the railing and then his body fell two stories below.

The sight was enough to petrify the men below. Though, the horrors are not over yet.

Suddenly, the door in front of them bursts open followed by flames.

The leader grit his teeth before barking.

"Fire!!"

The men immediately fired in the direction of the door, shooting blindly. The uneven rate of fire was followed by the sounds of mismatched reloading as bullets rained into the fire, hoping to hit their target.

The shootings stopped soon after. The crackling sounds of the flames entered their ears as the silence returned.

But it was short-lived. A whoosh of air flashed through before a large black object could be seen flying towards them.

The leader looked back and didn't even have enough time to warn his men before the object came crashing against a few of the goons before pummeling one of the SUVs, causing it to tumble down, squashing some people with it.

The leader turned back only to shake in fear as a figure walks out of the flame. He brushes off the flame on his skin before glaring at them with a killer stare.

"S-shoot him!!" Their leader ordered as they scrambled to grab their guns after the first attack.

Zill's wings sprouted from his back before he dashed towards them. His eyes were set on their leader as his hands instantly grabbed his neck. The leader felt himself being tossed.

His body crashes against another SUV before falling down lifelessly. Zill was gasping for air as his anger pushed him beyond his capable strength.

Suddenly, a bullet scraped his shoulder causing him to grit his teeth at the pain. He turns around to see a goon fumbling to reload his gun and immediately released an energy blast at his target. Explosion immediately engulfed him as he dove down.

He landed on the ground with a thud, and then heard clinking sounds beneath his feet. It was smoke grenades; they had immediately activated, causing a huge wall of smoke to envelop him. He growled, his eyes darting around the thickening fog.

His ears perked slightly when he picked up the sound of guns cocking around him. With eyes wide, he immediately lowered his body. Lights started flickering immediately followed by the sounds of gunshots surrounding him as bullets rained down. People around him were blindly shooting through the smoke. Eventually, there was no more movement from within their midst.

As the smoke clears, the goons takes a step forward, trying to make sure that their target was indeed dead. Their steps were timid and filled to the brim with hesitance.

Suddenly, they could hear metallic clings in front of them. Their guns was automatically aimed towards the direction of the sounds.

In front of them was Zill. His wings, shining bright, were covering him almost curling up like a ball of light. His leg then pushes up slowly. Dented bullets rolls off his wings, dropping onto the floor below.

Not a single trail of blood was flowing from him after even after they rained bullets onto him.

He glared at them, his feet covered in green lights. His wings suddenly lights up with the same greenish energy. His eyes turned bright neon as he glared at them.

"MY TURN!!"

With a roar, a wave of energy exploded from his body, sending everyone around him flying. The concrete ground beneath him cracked as the debris flew as well.

Zill stood in the center of a crater created by the blast. One of his eyes was closed as he panted for air. Eventually, one of his legs gave in, causing him to fall down onto his knees on the ground. The injury and outrage had finally taken their toll on his body.

"Shit!"

He cursed at the condition of his body.

He stares at the ground, closing his eyes as he tries to recover his energy, trying to calm the raging storm inside his heart.

Suddenly, he could hear the sound of a gun cocking from besides his head. A goon, was aiming a rifle at his head point blank.

"Just fuckin die!!" The goon growled as he was ready to pull the trigger.

Just as his finger was pulled back halfway, his body spasms while his eyes turned wide. A sharp stinging could be felt on his neck as his hands slowly reaches for it. He felt something sharp, like a blade stuck on his neck. His eyes look down to see his blood dripping on the floor below.

Slowly, his mouth bursted with blood before his legs give in, making him fall to his knees. Soon, his bidy fell to the side as his blood starts flowing like a river beneath his face.

Zill turns his head at the opposite direction. He saw Lauretta with her hands thrown out, panting as well.

"Are you okay?"

She asked him, but he didn't respond. Though, Zill had a soft expression for a while before steeling his gaze and trying to push his legs up. It felt like the hardest thing he ever did, but eventually, he managed to stand on his own two feet.

Lauretta wanted to help the obviously battered person in front of her, but she didn't have the guts after what she had done.

He looked around before noticing a quivering body not far from him. His target was set as he started stomping towards it. His hand curled up into a fist.

The figure noticed Zill moving closer. Though, they panicked and failed to utilize their weapon. Instead, their rifle was pushed to the side as they held their hands up in front of their face.

He begged for mercy as he pleaded, 'Please don't hurt me!

Zill scoffed at the sight. With no mercy, he pushed their hands away before grabbing their collars.

The goon, the same serpian who was praying earlier, winced at his grip.

"Tell me, where the fuck is Charles?!" Zill growled at him, but he was too scared to even speak.

"Grahhhh!!!" Zill lifts him up from the ground, hanging him up in the air with one hand on his collar.

"WHERE IS HE?!!!" He threatened as the serpian's mouth opened ever so slightly.

"I-I d-don't know mr protector sir..." He stuttered, clearly clinging onto the last ounce of bravery he could muster. However, Zill isn't happy with the answer.

He showed his fangs at the serpian before his other fist started lighting up. His shoulders tenses as he was ready to land the finishing blow on the poor soul in front of him.

"ZILL!! DON'T!!"

Zill stopped as his head turned slowly behind him. Lauretta stood behind him with a fearful look.

"Just stay out of this!!" He grunted, winding up his fist again. Though, his eyes met the fearful look of the man. The constant whimpering and tears forming on his eyes. Zill grits his teeth, his fingers tightening up.

Then, he felt a hand on his shoulders. Lauretta looked at him with a pleading look.

"You're not like this..."

Zill closes his eyes, trying to calm down the trembling of his hand. With a gasp, his hand loosens up, as the serpian fell down on the ground.

He didn't look back at her but instead immediately ducks to talk to the serpian.

"Tell me where Charles is!!" Zill orders sternly but the serpian shook his head still.

"Please... I... I don't know...We were just ordered to stand by the premises... We didn't even know that the boss left..." The serpian whimpered.

"Fuck!!" Zill cursed, a pained look was plastered on his face. He didn't want Charles to escape after all he had done.

"B-but there was the other team... t-they were sent somewhere... half an hour ago..." The serpian suddenly revealed.

"What other team?" Lauretta asked.

"A bunch of them, they were sent somewhere but I don't know why. It was a neighborhood somewhere... Fe-Felin street..." He tries to remember.

Lauretta instantly had her eyes wide before shooting towards Zill who had a similar expression.

"Jack!!"

His wings immediately expanded but he felt her hands holding his arms.

"Zill! Don't go! It's a trap!" Lauretta begs but Zill shakes her off.

"It doesn't matter! He's my friend... you wouldn't understand!!" Zill mentions looking at her with disappointment.

"Zill, please just listen to me!!"

"What do you want Lauretta?! You lied to me enough!! All this time I thought I could trust you..."

"I know I messed up... but I want to help. Your friend saved me back then, I can repay them like this, so please just listen, you never have to see me again after..." She almost teared up but maintained her composure.

Zill tried to hard to look away but his heart gave in as he turns to her. She thanked him silently before catching her breath.

"Charles is a maniac... he'd hold them inside their house. 5 armed men, usually... They'll hold your friend hostage, waiting for you to enter before killing all of you. They'll probably set up an explosive at the door, you need to sneak or something... One wrong move, the explosion could kill you and they also won't hesitate to shoot your friends so you got to be quick..."

Zill was surprised to hear her long curated advice but he kept his mouth shut. He picked up some hints of sincerity in her voice along with sorry notes. But he had no time to think about her. He then looks up, his wings ready to flap.

"And please... just don't die..." She begs as he looks at her one last time with a sad look before his wings pummeled the ground as he disappeared into the sky.

Lauretta clenches her fist, feeling the regret and grief forming inside her. Suddenly, she felt her phone rang. She took it out, noticing an unknown caller displayed. Though, she had a pretty rough idea who it was. She puts in on her ears before answering.

"What do you want?!" She scorns before picking up a series of giggles.

"Oh Laurey... I missed your voice!!! Has your boyfriend left you?" He asks her as she grits her teeth.

"Tchh, you turned him against me..."

"Nah-ah-ah, its YOU who turned him against yourself... Did you really think someone like him would've trusted someone like you? You're still a fuckin dumb bitch..." His laugh pricking her slowly on the inside making her growl.

"Did you ever think that he and you would've ride off into the sunset? Oh please! You're like me Laurey, deep down, you'll always be that cold-blooded murderer you are... Money and power is the only thing people like us ever think about..."

"I don't need you telling me shit!" She warns.

"Oh really? Then, why don't I tell you something else... Bark Elm... the warehouse your pathetic father built... meet me there, alone, unarmed... then maybe, I'll spare their life and maybe yours as well..." He explains as Lauretta was seething at his tone.

"You're a fucking coward..." She mutters as he responded with a laugh.

"Well, depends if being a coward means I'd have the upper hand... 30 minutes... don't be late or else..."

Her phone clicked as he hunged up. She grimaced at the thought of his orders but she didn't have any choice. She stood still for a while before looking at the cowardly serpian besides her.

"Give me your gun..." She orders.

"W-why?" He asks her as he hands out his weapon, fearing for his life.

"I'm going to settle my debt with Zill..." She responded in a brave voice.

Meanwhile, Zill was flying through the sky, jet speed. The rough winds throwing him off course a few times but he recovers as fast as he could. An anxious look plastered in his face, hoping he would make it in time.

Meanwhile, Jack and Jill were seen kneeling in their house. The lights turned off but a series of murmurs could be heard from the people around them. 5 grunts, each with their own rifles could be seen inside the house, holding the two hostage.

"I'm sorry for opening the door..." Jack apologized whispering, as he looks at Jill. Jill puts on a brave smile and shake her head.

When he wakes up after being put to sleep by Lauretta, he heard something outside. While still recovering from a throbbing headache, he went for the door and didn't expect them.

"It's okay, we'll get out of this..." She returns with a whisper.

"Shut it!!" One of the grunts knocks on Jack's head with a gun making him grimace, baring his fangs at the attacker.

"You're a tough guy aren't you?!!" The grunt clicked his tongue.

"Well, undo this rope and let's find out..."

His jeer caused the grunt to strike him once more, this time with more force, aimed at his stomach.

Jack let out a huge grunt as he slumped forward, feeling the pain taking over.

"JACK!!" Jill screamed but her head was immediately pulled back by another grunt.

"Shut it broad!!" He orders her but she tried to struggle from his grip.

"Tie her mouth up!!" The one who striked Jack ordered as they tied a cloth around her mouth.

As she struggled, she could see Jack, glaring at the grunt above him.

"H-hey, we should be a bit quiet, we're gonna alert the neighbors... What if cops show up?!!" One of the other grunt warned.

"So what?! I'm not a pussy!! I'll fucking do what I want!!" The grunt above Jack shoves the other grunt away.

"Look, I'm just warning you, unlike the A District, we don't have any contacts here to help us... not even the master would bail us if we got caught..."

"Hey, are you a pussy or what?! Listen, these people here are high priority targets!! They'll eventually get killed anyway so what's the fucking difference if I bruise them up a little, huh?!! Just mind your own fucking business!" The grunt whispered angrily, clearly showing off some aggressive physicality.

"Fine.. alright, just... keep it the fuck down..." The other grunt gave up.

"Tchh..." He clicked his tongue before looking at Jack who was glaring at him.

"You ain't giving up huh?"

He says before grabbing a fistful of Jack's hair before making him look up.

"Look at her!!" He forced Jack to look at his wife who was bounded like him.

"She's a pretty one ain't she? Can you imagine what we'll do to her after we're done with your friend?"

He says making Jack squirm harder, earning chuckles from a bunch of them.

"Hehehe... behave and we might let you watch..." The grunt threatened.

"That'll shut him u-

Suddenly, all of them could hear a thud coming from outside. They immediately aimed their guns towards the door. The sound of simultaneous streams of guns cocking could be heard.

Jack and Jill immediately had their eyes lit up in hope. Both of them looked at each other with wide eyes before looking back at the door. Though, a few minutes passed, but there was no sound. Caution and curiosity was building up in the gang.

"Hey, you, go check it out..."

One of the grunts nodded before slowly moving towards the door. Inch by inch, his heart started pounding faster until he was meer inches from the knob.

"Deactivate the explosive for now..."

One of the grunts at the back, took out a remote device and clicked it. A soft whirring sound could be heard coming from the explosives strapped to the door.

His hand then slowly reached for the knob, twisting it as a click was heard. With a slight breath, he swiftly opened the door and aimed his gun up.

Though, the only thing he could see was the empty dark streets of the neighborhood.

"Well?" One of the grunts asked.

"There's nothing, probably just the wind or something..." He says before turning his back and closing the door.

Jsut as the door was closed, a bang was heard when a hand broke out of the wooden door, grabbing the nearby grunt by his neck.

"Shi-

Without enough time to react, his body along with the door was flung towards the grunts.

Three of them managed to duck in time but the one who was holding the remote was unluckily the victim as Jill tied his legs up with her tail, preventing him from moving out of the way. The heavy piece of wood combined with his colleagues weight then slammed against him, breaking his skull and sending him down on the ground.

"F-fire!!" The aggressive grunt ordered but two streaks of green light flew besides him, missing by an inch but struck two other grunts, causing them to fall down as sizzling could be heard coming from their body.

The aggressive grunt panicked at the sight of Zill standing by the door. The look of horror was plastered on his face as he scrambled around before grabbing Jack by the head and aimed his gun at his head.

"D-don't come close, or I'll sh-shoot!!" He stammers in fear unlike his earlier facade.

Zill widens his eyes for a while but kept walking forward.

"I said stay back!!" The grunt yelled but it fell om deaf ear.

"I said stay the fuck back!!" He increased his tone.

Panicked, the grunt immediately pulled his trigger, blowing Jack's head off. A second later, he immediately threw Jack's lifeless body away before looking at Zill with fear.

He gaze at Zill's surprised look as a sense of superiority engulfed him.

"L-look what you made me do... It's your fault he's dead!!" The grunt chuckled a little but Zill suddenly looks at him with a slight smile.

"Are you sure about that?"

The grunt was surprised as the voice didn't come from Zill but from his left. He slowly turns his head and immediately was engulfed back in fear.

He saw the sight of Jack's body standing up with a rifle he had picked up from one of the dead men, held it in his hands, and aimed it at him. His head, which had been split into a million pieces just seconds ago, slowly began to form itself back, revealing Jack's bloody face, glaring at him with fangs perked in rage.

"H-how.. you-you're sup-posed to be de-"

"Fuck you!!"

Jack scorned before pulling the trigger. The bullet flew from his gun before striking his eyes and piercing his brain as his body laid on the wall. A splatter of blood painted the wall behind him before his body slumped down slowly.

Jack let out a sigh of relief as he dropped the gun. His chest kept pumping up and down as he sat, exhausted, on the floor. Suddenly, Jill jumped at him and hugged him in concern. Slowly, Jack put his arms around her, savoring her warmth.

Jack then looked in front to see Zill kneeling down, putting his hands on his shoulder.

"You're okay bud?" Zill asked.

"I'm fine... but please tell me you're gonna pay for the door..." Jack jokes as Zill laid down with a heavy sigh. His body reached its limit with the amount of beating he experienced today. He slammed hus back against the back of the couch, catching his breath as he closes his eyes.

"You're alright babe?" Jill asks Jack as she crawls towards him, holding his face before turning it from side to side, checking for any injuries.

"I'll be fine... but did they hurt you?" He asks in concern but she shook her head.

"Just a couple scratches here and there..." She replied.

"I'm just glad you're okay..." She replied in a glad voice, putting her arms around his waist. Jack rests his chin on her shoulder, wrapping an arm around her as well.

But then, something hit him as he slightly mudges her away before looking at Zill.

"Zill, where's the mistress?" He asks him.

Zill eyes turn wide for a second before a look of sorrow replaced it. He clenched his fist while his eyes stared at the floor.

"Zill, what happened?! Is she okay?!" Jack asked.

"S-she's fine... it's just... I don't know if I can trust her..." Zill revealed making the two share glances.

"W-why?"

He stayed silent as he stares at the ceiling, trying to gather his thoughts.

"I just found out that she's doing things for different reasons then I was .. Things I don't agree with..."

A clearly distressed expression was caught on his face, swallowed by hits of confusion and anger.

Jack suddenly moved towards Zill before placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Look buddy, I... I don't know what happened... but what you need to know is that she snuck out looking for you because she was worried..."

Zill's ears perk before he looks at Jack.

"At first I didn't trust her, I mean who would trust a criminal right?" Jack continues.

Zill looked guilty at those words.

"But, when she arrived here, all she ever cared about was about where you were, and clearly... she does trust you... maybe a lot more than you and I think..."

"If she's out there, she might be in trouble. Even if she did something wrong, she knew she had to save you... you gotta at least give her another chance for that right... I mean you always do.. You're always looking out for those who needs it..."

Something clicked inside of him at those words. Memories of him and Lauretta throughout their time together. All the good and bad. Most importantly, the day he saved her that night.

"Last chance..." He mutters.

He suddenly stood up before wriggling his elbow, trying to rid off his stiff muscles. His wings sprout as he flaps then back and forth until they flowed smoothly like waves on the ocean.

"Leaving already?" Jack smirks as he chuckled.

"Can't help it... besides... you're right. It's about looking out for other people... and whether I want to admit or not, she's my responsibility now..." He says with a smile.

Jack chuckles but quickly wore a worried look.

"Be careful out there..."

Zill just smiled before pulling one of his fist forward.

Jack realizes it and shakes his worries off before bumping his fist with Zill's.

"Hey, it might be better to go stay at a hotel or something, go someplace secured with lots of people... and if you don't hear for me... well, let's hope you do!"

"NO! You will come back! That's a promise!!" Jack reassures.

Shortly after, his wing sprouted wide as he ascends to the sky in jet speed. He looks up to the sky before muttering.

"I'll be back soon Lauretta!"

Meanwhile,

Lauretta's leg was moving as fast as she could across the dark streets of the Animal District. Soon, out of the corner of her eyes, she gazed upon an old, rusty abandoned building. The warehouse her father built.

She then noticed that the metallic chains locking the gates around the warehouse was already broken. Her hands reached for the cold metal gates, pushing it slightly. A silent but menacing creaking sounds emitted from the rusty hinges.

She almost cursed herself at the amount of noise but what followed was only silence. She slowly tip toed her way across the clearing in front of the warehouse.

Her eyes then picked up four large black vehicles in front of her, parked not too far away from the warehouse entrance. She halts for a while, cocking the rifle in her hand. She then braces herself while moving closer towards them.

As she closes in on one of them, her grip tightens around her rifle. She slowly crept on the side of the vehicle, making sure that her steps were quite as a mouse.

She stopped opposite the side mirror of the front seat and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before quickly sliding to the side, aiming her gun up at the window of the driver's seat.

The flash of her gun immediately illuminated the interior of the vehicle. Though she breathed a sigh of relief after discovering the vehicle was empty, she knew it meant something else. Now, she had a bad feeling.

She skipped past the other cars, making her way to the door of the warehouse. Slowly, she pushed it open before staring inside. It was pitch black; her eyes couldn't pick up anything.

She steps inside, not closing the door behind her. She took two step forward then her nose picked up a foul scent. A scent she terribly despise.

She aimed her gun forward, cocking it with vigor.

A light suddenly turned on, revealing Charles who was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed. He exhaled smoke as a cigarette could be seen between his fingers. A rifle was resting on his lap, but he didn't seem to be holding it. He then looked at her with a smile, as if he had already won.

"Hello love, it seemed you made it here!" He commented before chuckling.

BANG!!

A bullet suddenly flew, grazing his cheeks, causing it to bleed. His expression instantly changed to unamuse as he glared at her.

"The next one will be right between your eyes!!" Lauretta warned him as she was ready to pull the trigger again.

Suddenly, an electrical whirr could be heard before all the lights in the warehouse turned on in a series. As the view was getting brighter, the situation was made clearer to her. Now, she confirmed why he looked confident.

About ten men could be seen behind him, all aiming their guns at her. Her eyes than looked above to see a few snipers stationed on the walkways above her.

"I thought I said to come, unarmed?" Charles ask but Lauretta just scoffed at him. "Well, it's not like you were trying to play fair anyways..." Her retaliation seemed to be an amusing joke to him.

"Well, it's my game, so~ my rules..." He stood up, wiping the blood of his cheek.

She aimed her gun again but she stopped when he brought out a phone.

"Nah-ah-ah!"

He wagged his fingers with a devious grin.

"You can try but, every 30 minutes, that'll be about in another 20, if I don't respond on this phone, they'll blow your friend's brains out!"

Lauretta was conflicted, but she knew she couldn't act so reckless. The lives of the people that saved her are on the line.

"What the fuck do you want?" Lauretta asked him.

"Well, to be honest, I would've been fine if you just keel over and died right here, right now..."

"~But~, the Protector is a pain in the ass to deal with... and quite frankly... he's more of a threat if I kill you... They say love knows no boundaries so I'd doubt that murder and revenge would be out of his league if I kill you..."

She chuckled at him. "Look at you, cowering over one man, you were always a bitch!" She retorted. Frankly, it triggered him a bit and it was showing but he didn't want to be too reckless.

"Cower? Me? I'm more annoyed than anything... I took him down once, I can do it again..."

"Oh yeah? At what cost?" She asked him with a snarky tone. He clenched his fist wanting to kill her right now.

"So... you get the gyst of it. A fight with the ~legendary~ hero would 'cost' me with all these incompetent fucks under my command..."

Some of then felt uneasy at his words.

"That's where you come in dear~!" He suddenly says, welcoming her with open arms causing some confusion in her.

"I'm willing to put all of this aside, all our previous quarrels and issues, all of that aside. Heck, I'll even throw in half of the inheritance for you!! You'll be under my protection and I'll guarantee no harm will come for you..."

"What the fuck does that mean?" She questions, turning even more cautious against him.

"... In exchange, you'll help me lure him... so I can settle this once and for all..."

The sheer audacity causes her to aim her gun once more.

"And what makes you think I'll agree?"

"Because you have no one, Lauretta!! You're a criminal!! Didn't you feel anything at all when he left you? He doesn't trust you Laurey!! A fucking righteous son of a bitch like him don't care about what happens to people like us. You don't belong in his world!! Isn't this what it's all about? Dollars and cents!! Did you ever think a life of justice and kindness is the one you'll lead?!"

"Both of us are bred for this criminal life Laurey!! Nothing more than another link to the never ending chains of lies and murder. Think of all the red you spilt to this day. Did you ever think they'll go 'poof' if you did one right thing? Both of us are part of this!! Face it, you little bitch! You'll never be anything more than a-

BANG!!

Another bullet grazed his other cheek. He looks in front with trembling pupils.

"I make the choices this time!!" She sniffs before aiming her gun at him.

"If that's how it supposed to be, it's a shame... Even the last thing you'll ever do just causes pain for the people around you!!"

He sarcastically sympathizes before carrying his phone upwards.

He pressed on it as his mouth was ready to talk when his ears pick up the sound of something rolling under him. He looks down to see a cylindrical, plastic object which stopped as his feet. His eyes went wide as he looked at her to see a triumphant expression.

GRENADE!!

BOOM!!

The lights around them suddenly gets turned off as the goins scrambled around with their flashlights. Some are hurt while most are still dazed from the explosion to do anything. The snipers up top couldn't do anything as the area was pitch black.

"FUCK!!" Charles coughed out as he tried to stand up. Debris and dust could be heard coming off from his shirt as he grabbed the nearest goon.

"FIND HER!!" He yelled loudly as his ears was still ringing as he trudges back while a handful of goons shielded him.

He immediately grabs his phone before pressing on it. Though, what he met was only static noises and a blank screen which made him cursed out. Sudden, loud clicks were heard as lights around them suddenly turned off, completely covering the warehouse in sheer darkness.

"Fuck, electricity's down!!" One of the goons yelled.

"Shit!! That energy disruptor grenade knocked down the electricity for a few minutes!!" We need to find where the fuck she ran off to!!" Charles yelled as he was surrounded by his men.

"We have no eye on her!" One of the snipers responded as the darkness completely disrupts their aim.

"Shh, shut up and listen!!" Charles yelled, his eyes tries to adjust with the darkness.

After a while, the noise dies down as everyone tried to keep their eyes peeled even though it was futile.

Some of them stood frozen trying to focus on the sounds around them but the constant clacks of boots and sound of breathing completely muddles down any coherent noise. Even the flashes from their guns weren't enough to light up the whole area.

On the vision of one of them, they stood still, aiming their guns up. Suddenly, a light shimmer was heard on their left as they flinched. Their head turns as fast as they could before a bright shine was reflected in their eyes.

ARGHHHHH

The blood-curdling sound of a scream instantly caused the group to turn toward the direction it came from. The combined lights fused into one large, misshapen spotlight as a body was revealed lying on the ground. Blood was spurting from the victim's neck as he frantically clamped his hands around his neck in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

"Hey, you alright?" One of the goons tried to approach before a loud bang was heard. A bullet immediately pierced his head, and another one bit the dust.

"Fuck! She's over there!!" One of the goons aims his gun at the slight shine of her gun bursting. As he circles the light around the area, he caught a glimpse of her foot moving pass.

"THERE!!" He screams before pulling on the trigger. The men around him immediately turns towards the direction he was shooting at and followed his direction.

A wave of bullets was fired around, following the estimated direction of Lauretta. Her instinct kicks in as she immediately ran behind rows of metal container, as it shielded some of the bullets raining on her.

"How hard is it to shoot one little bitch?!! Give me that!!" He yanks a rifle before placing underneath his eyes.

He slowly moves it according to his gut, before pressing the trigger. A bullet shot out with smoke and flare exploding out the barrel.

The bullet penetrated through the container before unexpectedly catching her foot.

"ARGHHH!!" She screams in pain before before falling on her knee. She quickly looks at her foot to see blood coming out from the side. Hearing the series of bullets approaching she immediately lies on her belly.

Luckily, none of the bullets managed to even graze her. It was then quiet for a while giving her time to drag her body and limp foot as she lied her back on the containers. But she starts getting anxious when she hear the sounds of their guns reloading.

"Fuck, I guess I got you there didn't I? Not bad right?!!" Charles taunt as he reloads his gun as well.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck..." She mutters, trying to figure out how she can escape this. She could make a run for it, but their bullets might hit her because she couldn't catch some speed.

"Hey, anyone got eyes up there?!" He asks the snipers up top on the walkways above them.

"Still too dark boss!!"

"Then fucking get the light back o-

WHIRRRR

Suddenly, the lights around them turned on, lighting up the area. The goons look baffled for a moment as he chuckles.

Lauretta who was behind the containers cursed her luck. It wasn't a good time for her to be immobile right now.

Charles snickered as he puts his gun down. "Wow, guess your luck ran out!!"

He then grabbed his phone and turned it on now that the electricity around him wasn't disrupted anymore.

"Now, say bye-bye to your friends.."

"No..." Lauretta voiced weakly, her mind scrambling on what she could do, hoping she bought enough time for Zill to save them.

"Team Alpha, kill those two... and if he arrives, kill the Protector as well!!" Charles ordered before smirking at his victory. However, the corners of his lips that were raised immediately dives back down when he heard a familiar voice coming from his phone.

"Yeah...-

Lauretta's ear perks up, her lips curled into a smile as she heard his voice from the phone.

-...not gonna happen!!"

She looks up towards the ceiling as it happened in front of her eyes. The ceiling broke revealing a comet like entity diving towards the group of men. A bright energy covering his entire body.

"Fuck!!" Charles dove to his side before a huge explosion threw him further as Zill crashed onto the floor.

The nearby people around him was also sent flying across the warehouse. As the explosion ended, Zill emerged from the smoke. Bruised and battered but filled with brawn.

"That's for blowing up my apartment!!" Zill yelled as he scours for Lauretta.

"Zill, look out!! Above you!!" Lauretta yells from behind the container as Zill looks up to see a sniper aiming at him.

He quickly hardens and spread his wings before a bang was heard.

The bullet crashed onto his wing, immediately staggering him as he falls on the ground.

He cursed, "Fuck!!". Even though the bullets didn't manage to penetrate his wings, the pain was enough to petrify him for a while.

As he was about to charge at the sniper, another bullet was fired at him, staggering him again.

It was another sniper, now reloading his gun. But at the same time, the other one fired on him again.

Lauretta gasps at his condition. She turns to the side and sees a few of the lucky ones, slowly getting back up, though, Charles was no where to be seen.

"Fuck, he's pinned!!"

She cursed, immediately racking her brain for ideas. Then, she saw an iron ladder, hanging above a tower of containers, fitted to go to the walkways above her.

Looking back at Zill, seeing his helpless state, she immediately run towards the container. Ignoring the pain in her foot, leaving a bloody trail of footprints behind her, she climbed onto the containers. She grimaced, trying to lessen the pain as she climbs while mainly relying on her arm strength.

As she got closer, she grabs onto the ladder, climbing them and soon reaching the walkway. She slowly peeked on top to see the sniper firing his gun at Zill before reloading.

She grabbed the opportunity before hopping on the walkway and sprinting onto the unsuspecting sniper. The sniper's eyes widen as he feels the walkway underneath him vibrating and jumping up and down.

He turns to the side to see Lauretta already on him. He grabs his pistol from his waist but Lauretta immediately kicked in out from his hand before grabbing a knife from her thigh strap and shoving it on his neck.

The sniper lets out a slow cry of pain as his vocal cords were fucked before slowly losing his grip.

As the sniper finally breathes out his last bit of life, Lauretta then yanks the sniper rifle from the corpse's hand before aiming it at the other sniper on the opposite walkway.

Zill who was pinned down heard another bang but nothing hit him this time. He slowy removes his wings to see the sniper who was aiming at him with his head, hanging down on the side of the walkway, a hole present on his forehead.

He swishes his head behind him to see Lauretta panting heavily after shooting. She then stood up before holding onto the railings of the walkway. Slowly, she slides her legs on top of the railings as she was on the opposite end.

Zill's eyes widen at her actions as he sprinted underneath her. Lauretta then hops off the walkway, and dove onto his arms as he carried her with a shocked face.

"Happy to see me again?" She jokes.

"Well, you still haven't paid me yet!" He smiles at her before slowly putting her down.

"You're okay?" He asks her, clearly seeing her face which has been paler than normal.

"My foot's fucked... but... I'll live..." She responded before grabbing a rifle which was underneath her feet.

Zill then looks forward to see a few of them recovered and coming towards them.

"Together?" He says before turning at her with a smile she rarely sees.

She nods, brimming from ear to ear, "Together!"

Zill then runs, filling his feet with energy before hopping and kicking into the chest of a goon. The goon landed on the floor and slid a bit as Zill throws his hand in front before firing a beam which hit another goon. However, a goon he missed was about to shoot at him but got his head blown off instead by Lauretta.

A bunch of them was hiding behind a container, reloading their guns but they failed to notice her climbing on top of their container. Without even a warning, bullets rained onto them from above.

Their bodies landed on the floor as Lauretta breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Zill before giving a reassuring nod, "That's the last of em...".

"Fuck you!!"

A rage filled scream was heard before a knife immediately clamped onto her neck. Charles who was hiding finally came out of the shadows to attack the oblivious Lauretta on the containers.

"Zill!!"

"Lauretta!!" Zill immediately ran towards her.

BANG!!

Zill suddenly felt pain on his waist as his legs immediately froze. He looks down to see blood staining his shirt, dripping on the floor.

"No!!" Lauretta yelled, feeling the fear engulfing her.

Zill dropped one one knee feeling the life being sucked out of him but he gritted his teeth before looking up.

He saw Charles holding a knife by her throat and a gun in his other hands. His face though, burned and bruised on the other side.

"LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO MY FACE!! YOU BASTARD!!" He growls at him, tightening the lock on Lauretta as she winced in pain.

"Let her go, Charles!!" Zill roars with energy despite his injured body.

"No!! It's all your fucking fault!!" He yelled.

"If you haven't save her that night!! NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED!! AND MY FUCKING FACE HURTS!!"

"NOW THAT SHE'S IN MY ARMS AND YOU KNEELING BEFORE ME, I HAVE YOU BOTH WHERE I WANT YOU! I'LL KILL HER, THEN I'LL KILL YOU, SLOWLY!! THEN, I'LL COME FOR EVERYONE YOU LOVE!!!"

"Zill!" Lauretta screams, trying to struggle of Charles but he overpowers her.

"SHUT UP!! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!" He threatens her.

Zill looks at her before noticing something. Her mouth moved but no voice escaped from it. Something Charles fails to notice as he kept screaming and threatening her.

She mouthed to Zill.

"Do you trust me?"

Zill's eyes went wide as time seemed to slow down. It's as if her words were verbal enough for him to hear, clearing him of his fears.

He nodded, a singular slow nod but his eyes told her everything.

"Now! She dies!" Charles cocks his gun before feeling pain surfacing from his foot.

He screams feeling her foot slamming on him, causing his grip to lighten slightly. Using the chance, Lauretta threw his arm away, before elbowing his injured face. Her shoulder dugged through the soft and weak flesh causing hik to scream in agony. As he was recovering from the pain, she sprinted towards the edge of the container.

On the way, her hands grabbed something inside her waist pocket. As she was on the edge where Zill was ready to catch her, a bang was heard as a hole pierced above her chest.

Zill's pupil trembled at the sight reflected in his eyes. Blood spurted from her body as her leg gave in. She fell forward, her eyes slowly closing but something was thrown off her hand.

A gun flew in the middle of the air, a similar gun. As her body was about to touch the hard floor, Zill dashed at her, grabbing her waist, though, his eyes were diverted away from her, towards the object flying in the air.

A singular gun.

His other hand swiftly reaches towards the sky, as the gun slowly fell onto his hand. He grabbed the handle before facing Charles who was slowly getting back up, his hand flailing around but still aiming around Zill.

Though, Zill was faster as a bullet exploded from the gun he was holding but it barely missed Charles, only grazing his shoulder.

Zill cursed inside but tried again as his finger pulled on the trigger but a clicking sound was heard. He grimaced before pulling the trigger twice but only sounds were emitted.

Charles was ready to take another hit but felt victorious when he heard that sound. His lips immediately curled up, excitement enough to make him jump in joy but he still was too angry at the couple beneath him.

"You're missed, hero!! Even now, not even the mighty protector can kill me!!" Charles scoffed before aiming his gun at Zill's head.

"I don't need to kill you, I just need to hit you!!" Zill suddenly spoke.

"What bullshit are you talk..."

Suddenly, Charles eyes largens when he felt his hand freezing up. He tries so hard to pull the trigger but somehow, he couldn't feel his finger. His other hand scrambled towards his gun which was stuck in place in his other hand.

Though, it was futile as he felt his whole body being petrified. Veins started popping from his eyes and face, well, what's left of it. He could feel a throbbing pain in his chest.

"Y-you asshole, poison is chea..." He didn't even had enough time to deliver his final words before his body drops down from the container, landing head first on the ground with a splat.

Zill breathes sigh of relief before looking at Lauretta. He puts his head on her chest, before trembling as he heard a beat. He was about to let out a cry of relief but he composed himself.

Lauretta was enjoying her land of dreams. It was all the sweet memory she had on her missions but she knew she was probably dead.

But slowly, something woke her up. The feeling of cold wind brushing up on her cheeks. Slowly, her real eyes opened up, before seeing a bright moon resting on a black sky above her, shining on her eyes.

She was in the sky?

She looks to the side to Zill's face, a concerned one as he was flying to the sky. Somehow, her instinct took in, as her arms slowly wraps itself around his back.

Zill was caught by surprise as he looked down to see Lauretta's head nestling on his chest, her hands wrapped around his back underneath his wings. A smile perked up from him as he continued flying.

Soon, he landed on top of a hospital roof while carrying her. He slowly let her down, resting her on a nearby ledge as her back rests against the ledge.

"You're okay?" Zill asks her as she nods.

"I'll be fine once they patched me up!" Lauretta responded before chuckling.

"I told you guns are better...*cough*" She said with a vibrant energy as if she wasn't shot but Zill was glad for that.

"Well, I'll admit poison is useful when the situation comes!!" He chuckled but put up a serious face afterwards.

"I'm sorry for leaving you, I should've- mmph"

He was cut off when he felt her lips glued to his. His eyes went wide at the kiss but he closes his eyes, as if he wanted it. He could feel the warmth of her body, stirring his heart. Her hand was pulling his head closer as they deepen their kiss. It felt like heaven at the time, though it wasn't as eternal as heaven itself as Lauretta pulled her face away.

"Thank you for saving me!!" She slowly says and for the first time, it felt genuine, without any snarks or snaps.

"I.. y-yeah..." Zill was at a lost for words at what she had done.

"Now go, you'll get spotted if you don't!!" She switched her tone as Zill snapped into reality. He knew his identity could be exposed if he stayed any longer, plus it would be weird for him to show up with the former mistress of the A District all bloodied up.

He nodded before spreading his wings. As he was about to take off, he felt something grabbing his arms.

"Let's meet again!!" Lauretta spoke as he nodded before bursting in the air. She chuckled seeing him disappear into the night.

"What have I got myself into?" She asked herself staring at the moon above her.

1 month later,

We bring ourselves to a building in the middle of the A District. It was fairly decorated and modern looking. With glass doors and electrical billboards, it gives off a completely different atmosphere compared to the other buildings around it. A sign was displayed on the front which boldly claims, 'Animal District Governer Office'.

Lauretta was sitting behind a desk, her finger tracing a picture frame she was holding. Inside was a picture of her and Zill at a pier. It was one of the rare outings she earned when they were fighting against Charles.

A smile formed on her lips as she remembered the joyful moments she had. As trapped as she were inside his dusty and small apartment, it felt more alive when she was with him.

She then pushed her legs against her desk, as her chair rolled behind before hitting a wall. She twisted her face to the side to see the evening sun descending on the horizon.

She looked to the sky, her eyes peeled for any flying objects or... person. She sighs but a knock on her door intruded on her thoughts.

"Come in!" Lauretta gestured before the door opened revealing a familiar serpian. He was wearing a normal office shirt. His clothes neatly worn but on his face was an eye patch, a reminder of what happened on a certain faithful day.

"Ah, Scales, any news on the other heads?" She asks him as he clears his throat. "Well, a few of them are willing to undergo the new change of policy... but, they demanded some 'encouragement'..." He explains as he reads out the content on the papers he was holding.

"A few, well that's good but about the encouragement... tell them to discuss that with me... privately... and make sure to remind them how 'encouraging' I can be. After all, remind them who's in charge now!" Lauretta's voice always encourages an alluring tone but to Scales, he knew how deadly her words are.

"I'll be sure to pass on the message..." Scales politely said.

"And one more thing..." Lauretta suddenly spoke.

"What about 'him'?" She asks Scales but he suddenly made a disappointed expression.

He apologized, rubbing his head, " I'm sorry but... after the whole incident, it's as if he gone off the map. There are a few sightings, people getting saved in alleyways like you said but none of them seemed to fit the bill..." He explained as Lauretta carried a similar look to him.

"It's fine, just keep searching... he's out there somewhere..." Lauretta looks outside as Scales nodded.

"Alright, I'll...take my leave then!" Scales said before leaving the room and closing the door.

As soon as he was gone, she let's out a tired sigh. She has been searching for him for a long time but in the end, it was futile. He was damn good at hiding for a burly guy like him.

"Damn it..." She cursed slightly, closing her eyes trying to think of another way.

Suddenly, she heard the window next to her opened as she immediately looks to the side. Her face immediately lits up when she saw him besides her.

"Hey Lauretta!" Zill greeted as she immediately stood up and ran towards him before pulling him in a hug.

"Wow, didn't know you like hugs this much!" Zill reminds her as she separated before clearing her throat.

"It wasn't intentional..." She tries to deflect but he laughs it off.

"But fucking hell, really?!! I tried so hard to search for you and you just decided to show up from my office window! You could've just told me you were alright and I'd spare the trouble of finding you!" She instantly switched to a tone Zill despised but felt warm towards as well.

"I've gone incognito for a while to find a place to settle down somewhere else, plus, I didn't know if there were still enemies out there!" Zill explained before he crashed his body on a nearby couch.

"You got a new home?" She asks as he nods.

"Well, the last one got fucked real bad and I didn't want anyone to be suspicious so I got a new home, it's near Jack's neighborhood as well!" He tells her as she laughed.

"And here I was thinking you'd be homeless somewhere, well I guess you got enough to live by!" She says to him as he chuckled.

"It wasn't easy, I had to scrap the bottom of the barrel for this one... and speaking of that, I think I deserve some compensation for my home being blown to bits!"

"That's why you're a dumb fuck! You should've come sooner and I could've help you, but fine... I'll wire it later, well unless you're in a hurry~"

She crossed her arms while raising her eyes.

"Nah, I'm fine, I guess things settled down for a while, I needed some time to relax and I think it's better to spend it here..." He explains, enjoying the soft texture of the couch.

"Here? Why? Is something... ~drawing~ you in?" She suddenly walks towards him before sitting next to him.

"Harhar, look... I just... missed you... I wanted to see if you're alright..." He suddenly says as Lauretta froze at his words. A bit of red was colouring her cheeks but she cleared her throat and composed herself.

"I guess... that's a good reason..." She spoke before going silent.

"Anyway, nice office... Did you get the money from... you know..." He looked at her as she was caught by surprise at his question. She turns at him to see Zill looking at her with a serious face.

"Is it wrong if it's from my dad's inheritance?" She suddenly frowned as she asks him back.

To her surprise, he shook his head.

"Nah, I'm fine with it... You saved my life and my friend's as well... I owe you at least that much..." He replies with a smile as she chuckled.

"Than there's nothing for you to worry about, it's from the businesses I opened across the district, casinos and hotels... we're still a hotspot in terms of money flow so I decided to take the chance..." She revealed as Zill was surprised at the statement.

"But... where did you get the money to open those places?"

"I sold the mansion... technically, the mansion was never Charles's. It was a gift from my mom but when I ran, Charles took it from me but now, since I got it back... I thought I didn't need it!"

"Then... what about your dad's money and everything?" He asks her.

"I kept it stored somewhere... Let's pray I don't have to use it but I'm not an imbecile to just throw all that money away..." She grumbled still fighting for the amount of money she could've gotten.

Zill agrees with her, "Well, let's hope you never do, madam governer!!".

He coyly pronounce as she rolled her eyes.

"Well, someone's needed to keep the district in order now that the power balance is shifted... though, no family can ever pass me in terms of power... so, I took the job. It's honest, something you definitely enjoy!!" She messed with him.

"Anyways, enough business talk! We have some catching up to do and I think it'll be better with some refreshments!!" Lauretta offered.

She then pushes herself up before walking towards a mini fridge. She opened the cool container as white smoke was let loose. Then, from her hands, Zill could see her pulling out a can of something.

She then walks towards him before handing him the can.

"It's... beer?" Zill raised an eyebrow.

She chuckled, "Cheap beer, which is your favorite! Mine's a 1000$ tequila!" She exclaims in glee, wiggling a short glass bottle of some high end tequila brand.

"Wow, what's the occasion?" He asks her, as his finger plucked the can top open.

"Well, we didn't really get to celebrate after the whole battle so... I thought we might as well celebrate now, before you run off into god knows where again!!" She says as Zill rubs his head in embarrassment at the notion.

Suddenly, he could see her bottle closing in on him.

"To winning?" She shakes her bottle a little as Zill clinks his can with it.

"To winning!!". He then gulps down on the beer, enjoying the taste of it as Lauretta downs her bottle.

Two hours go by and Zill had just finished his 5th can of beer. Lauretta on the other hand only finished half of her bottle as it laid on her desk, basking in the atmosphere.

Lauretta and Zill could be seen sitting side by side on the couch, laughing heartily.

"So you're telling me that you were actually fucking homeless after that?!!" Lauretta laughed at him.

"Hey, it's not funny, plus, I just forgot that Jack and Jill were staying in a hotel because I told them to... It was just like three days before they came back and I crashed at their place!!!" He complained as he took another sip of his beer.

"You know, you gotta start putting a price on your services, like at least 50 bucks or something!!" Lauretta suggested but Zill rolled his eyes.

"I'm a hero!! Not a bodyguard!!" He retaliated.

"Well, enjoy being broke then!!" She laughed.

"Not for long, since I'm still waiting on that payment..."

When he mentioned that, Lauretta immediately froze. Zill noticed it as he regretted his words.

"Sorry if that offends you or anything..." He apologies but she shook her head.

"Fuck apologizing... you defeated Charles, you deserve some reward for it, consider it a fee for your services!" She says which did weirded him out a little since she pulled a disappointed look earlier.

As he was about to take another sip, he suddenly felt something warm on his cheeks. Her hand was cupped on his cheek, pulling his face back towards her.

"For saving my life though... I thought that deserve something else~" She suddenly puckered her lips, closing in on him but he slowly pushes her away much to her dismay.

"Why? Is it because of her?" She insinuates Kayla but Zill shook his head.

"I wished she was here with me but I never regretted what I did back then. She still someone to me but the feelings I had for her... maybe I locked them away somewhere..." He softly talks.

She was confused making her stammer a little, "T-then why... is it because of who I am?"

Zill looks at her before suddenly holding her hands.

"No,.. to me, you're a savior, you didn't just save me and my friends, but you helped me realize to also be a normal person besides being the protector... I'm grateful for that!!" He revealed as she could feel some tears forming but she held it in.

"But..." He suddenly spoke.

"I don't know what this feeling inside of me is... I didn't want for us... to end up like Kayla and I... I want things to be different but I'm confused... There's a part of me that knows what I want but there's also a part of me that is confused..." He grimaced as he cups her hand.

"Then let me help!" Lauretta responded before closing in on his face, planting a kiss on his lips.

It was short but he pushed her away again.

"It's... it's not that easy Lauretta..." Zill mentions in sorrow.

She sighed, " I don't know what you're feeling right now... but me, I know that feeling well... Maybe it's shocking or surprising but, I want you to be with me, no, I, need, you..."

"So please... even if you have doubts, then let me help you... just let me have this...". She draws in closer for a kiss.

Zill wondered why her lips seemed so tempting. He wondered if the alcohol was getting to him or maybe it was the truth inside him all this time.

Zill wasn't surprised anymore at the sudden touch but it's as if he missed the feeling of her warmth. The feeling he felt that night, that thirst. The feeling of her hands around his cheeks, pulling him closer to her.

Fire ignited inside him as his tongue flew like a rocket. She could feel his tongue bashing against her teeth, demanding entrance. Attracted to the warmth, Lauretta opened her mouth, allowing Zill full access. His tongue met with hers as they twirled around.

Lauretta moaned at the pleasure building up inside her mouth. Months and months of her building her affection towards him all released at the very moment. His saliva sending her through the edge making her hunger for him.

They separate occasionally, gasping for air before crashing again, going crazy. Spit and salive dropped from her chin, as she moaned at every twirl and suck.

Soon, they fully separate before looking at each other, seeing the messy state of their faces which is filled with sweat and saliva.

"Fuck! That was intense!" Zill gasped as she nodded.

"You're a fucking good kisser... no wonder a lot of chicks fucking wanted to get in your pants!!" Lauretta sneered causing him to raise his eyes a little.

"Well, I'm now one of those chicks! Take off your clothes!!" She ordered as she stood up.

Zill could only obediently nod as he also stands up before pulling his shirt up. Just as his shirt passed his eyes, he then could see her in only her bra and panties.

He digs the black lacing on her bra and panties which almost compliments her fur. He could feel something tugging in his pants, painfully wanting to be set free.

His hands slowly made their way to grip his pants but Lauretta suddenly slap his hand.

"No, I'll do this one..." She says as she grips the side of his pants along with his boxers.

Zill gulps as she slowly drags it down, her face suddenly planting on his pants. He could feel her cheeks brushing against his boner, her hot breath barely managing to get through the two layers of fabric.

"Fuck..." He breathed out as Lauretta managed to pull his pants all the way down as he kicks it away.

Lauretta managed to lay her eyes on his length in all it's full glory. It twitched as her breath landed on it waiting in anticipation.

She giggled as she looked up to see Zill with a needy look. It seems, she stirred him up more that he wanted to. She then directed him to the couch as he sat on it with her kneeling between his legs.

Slowly, she planted a kiss on the tip as a string of pre formed as she pulled her face back. She got a taste of it and it left her wanting more.

Her lips then slowly cover his tip as her tongue played on the entrance. Zill winced at the pleasure and the pain from being teased. He wanted to push her head further but decided to give her a chance... for now.

Her hand then cups the base of his penis before she pushed it upwards. She then hangs her tongue out as she licks the underside of his penis. Her other hands then grabbed his balls as she massaged it, stimulating his sperm.

Zill could see her naughty eyes as if she's taunting him to take charge but not yet. Seeing as he wasn't taking the bait, she decided to take his length by force.

As she approached the tip, dragging her tongue on the underside. She then opened her mouth wide before devouring his tip. Slowly, she pushed her head forward, taking an impressive four inches from his seven inch dick.

Though, she slowly draws her head back afterwords, covering his skin with her saliva. Looking into Zill's eyes, she slowly descends back and repeated her movement.

Zill grunted slightly at her motion, but when he saw her eyes, he knew how much control she had on him. Though, he didn't mind. The feelings they had for each other is possibly blooming at this very moment and he wanted to see it through.

A few minutes of her sucking on him were enough to send him a little on edge. Seeing his scrunched up face, she took in the last three inches as it hit the back of her throat. Zill could feel his tip banging against her throat as he tried to hold his hand from clamping against her head.

She wanted to wrap things up as she increased her pace. Her mouth frequently reached his base as she slobbered all over his dick. The gargles and moans coming from her were all music to Zill's ear.

The pressure in her mouth and her tongue constantly circling his dick gathered the pleasure in his veins. Soon, he could feel some pressure surfacing from his nether regions.

"Fuck..." He moaned as Lauretta knew what was coming. Her pace was increased to the max, her gargling sound filled the room.

Zill could feel his climax incoming. His hand gripped on the leather of the couch hard, almost tearing it as he feels his orgasm coming closer.

"Lauretta... I..." He cooed, breathing heavily.

However, as soon as his climax was imminent, she suddenly pulled her mouth away and gripped his cock with a little strength. His climax was prevented as Zill looks at her with a frustrated look.

She reacted with a giggle before trailing her finger on his still throbbing and eager dick.

"Sorry, I wanted it to last a little longer... plus, I didn't know if you wanted it~" She teased, giving a smirk at Zill.

He grit his teeth, knowing full well she just wanted to play him. He knew her plan full well but he also has a strategy. Play along.

"Come on, do it, dammit!!" Lauretta cursed inside but still maintaining her facade.

Suddenly, as if her prayers were answered, she could feel his hand, slithering on the back of her head. A smile almost crept up on her face but she didn't get the chance.

A powerful force immediately pushed her mouth to accept the rod kn front of her. She immediately consumed all of the length that she just exited.

Feeling the pressure, Lauretta immediately stabilized herself by holding onto his thighs. Lauretta's mouth barely left an inch each time she hit his base, purely engulfing his length.

Luckily, she didn't choke even at the pressure and frequency. Zill could hear her moans and sloppy gurgles as she rubbed his penis with her mouth and throat.

Soon, the faded climax resurfaced as Zill increased his speed. Using both hands now, he pushed and pull her head back according to his needs.

The feeling of empowerment and her subjugation were enough to send him back on edge. He could see her eyes rolling to the back of her head a few times.

"FUCKKK!!" He grunted.

Soon, his climax was imminent as he pulled her back one last time before plunging her back down. She took in every last inch of him as she feels his cock vibrating.

Soon, a wave of hot and thick cum splashed inside her mouth, instantly washing down on her throat.

MMMPHMM MMPHMMM

She moaned at the pressure of his cum as her hands clawed onto his thigh though it didn't scar him even a bit.

Her eyes fully rolled to the back of her head as she almost passed out. But Zill knew as he retracted his penis a little as the remaining gush only flooded her cheeks.

She could taste him, a little salty and thick but she loved the taste and it's almost addicting. With a pop, he pulled his penis right out her mouth as the last wave hit her face, staining her eyes.

After that, both of them got into a breathing frenzy, gasping for air. Though, Zill recovered earlier than her as he looked down on her.

She had a hand on her throat as she breathed a lot of air through her nose before slowing the volume of cum in her mouth. This allowed her to gasp for air as her hand slowly rubbed the sticky cum staining her face.

She then looked at Zill who has a victorious smile on his face. It might've been her idea but she felt as if he won the battle.

"Hrrmhrrmm" She clears her throat.

"So... I thought you were still 'confused'?" She teased him but he smiled all the way through.

"Well, you clearly enjoyed it... and it looked as if you planned this Lauretta?" Zill asks back as she chuckled.

"I had to get you to enjoy it~" She admitted before standing up.

Slowly, Zill could see her hand moving towards her back. She then pinched on her bra before it was cut loose. Then, her boobs swayed free. Though, he admits she wasn't as big as Kayla but it was still decent.

She then spun around as her tail suddenly brushes against his face. She then bend downwards as she slid her panties off revealing her dripping pussy in front of his face.

Zill could smell her sex and it drives him a little more. She giggled before turning around, crossing her arms.

"Now, that you enjoyed the free show, I hope you're ready to pay the favour? You see, blowjobs don't come for free..." She insisted as he instantly gets what she wanted.

Though, out of nowhere, she suddenly felt his hands grabbing the side of her butt before pulling her back. With the force, she wasn't able to react fast enough as she crashed back onto the couch.

"H-hey!!" She yelps at the sudden force but was suddenly met by Zill's face. He pulled her in for another kiss as she moans into his mouth.

Though, keeping it spicy, she could feel his hand snaking onto her boobs as he fondles them. Not missing the opportunity, her hand also snakes it way on his chiseled abs.

"You know, I always wanted to say what a fucking stud you are!! MMMPH" She dives back in for a kiss after saying her piece.

"AHHH, you're not bad yourself, for a vixen..." He gasps for air before kissing her back.

He then separated before moving his lips down her face. He passed her chin before diving down on her neck.

She moaned as he licked and suckled on her neck as her free hand went down on her clit to rub it a little.

He move further backwards, coming onto her boobs. His mouth then descended on her left tit as he bites onto it. Lauretta moaned at the feeling before Zill started fondling her other boob.

Lauretta grits her teeth as she saw him, clearly enjoying her boobs as she made a mental note that he might be a boob kinda guy.

"Fuckin' baby... ANHH" She didn't miss her chance to diss him in between her moans but Zill didn't care.

After leaving her boobs slobbered in his saliva, he started to move again, passing her smooth belly before finally reaching the main prize.

Her already soaked pussy was inches from his face now. She could feel his breath caressing her folds but suddenly she felt silence for a while.

"Wha?" She asked in confusion.

"You know, maybe I shouldn't do this~, after all ~ , I might not be into it at the moment!" Zill was the one to tease her now but he could see her not taking it well as he did.

"Fuck you, you better put your mouth right back or I'll - ANHHH!!" As she was throwing a tantrum, he suddenly licked her pussy before diving down further.

"Prick..." She moaned but clearly wanting his touch as he chuckled inside.

His tongue caressed her folds repeatedly, enjoying the taste of her juices. He then pinched his lips on her folds before sucking on it, making her moan louder.

ANHHH ANNNH, PLEASE!!

She begged for it as Zill continued his service. He then licked on her clit, biting and sucking on it which sent her on her edge.

He tortured her clit and ravaged her insides with his tongue. He loved her scent and taste while the heat coming from her was increasing his appetite for more.

As he sticked his tongue deeper inside her, she screamed loudly before she covered her mouth in shock. She didn't want to alert anyone else but her moans were only muffled a little from her hands.

Soon, Zill could feel her walls closing as he knew her orgasm was coming. His tongue was trapped inside her as he could only wiggle it with all his strength before feeling her muscles tensed up.

AAANNNNNHHNNN FUCKKKKK

With a loud scream, her juices washed over his tongue before spraying on his face as Zill retracted his mouth before fidgeting his finger on her pussy, causing her to climax further, spraying her juices on the couch.

It lasted for a while before her orgasm died down as she was left breathless. Her stomach moved up and down rapidly as she tries to regain some air.

"Fuck... fuck..." She whispered as she gasped for air.

Suddenly, she could feel her legs being pulled up as she sees Zill getting cozy behind her legs. He then looks at her directly before saying.

"You're ready?" He asks her. For a while, she thought she wanted to rest but then she thought, "Fuck it... destroy me!"

She nodded, not having energy to speak before suddenly feeling something prodding against her wet entrance.

Zill slowly grabs his dick and placed it on her folds, tapping it twice before rubbing it against her folds. She moaned at the feeling of his hsrd meat resting against her folds.

Soon, he stops before aligning it at her entrance, slowly pushing inside until his tip was in.

ANNNHHH FUUCKK~

Her moans reached his ears as he pushed it further. She could feel it scraping against her walls before he retracted it. He left his tip in but it wasn't over.

She could feel his hand tightening on her thighs before plunging back in. Then, he started pumping in and out of inside her. The way her walls were rubbing against his dick was something he never experienced.

As he fucks her pussy, his hand which was holding onto her legs, moves down a little, reaching her ass. She could feel his hand starting to pinch and grip her luscious bottom.

FUCK ANNNHH!! YOU DIRTY ASSHOLE!!!

Lauretta teased him but he maintained his pace.

FUCK!! THIS IS GOOD!!!

He grunted as he pummels her ass with his balls.

"Wait! Wait!!" She suddenly called which made him stop for a while.

She suddenly twisted her body while his dick was still inside her. He could feel as if her walls were wrapping him around like a snake.

Now, she was on all fours, her face lowered and her ass elevated. Now, Zill had more access before he continued fucking her.

Now, he pummelled her insides as his dick made it all the way in. His balls started slapping against her pussy adding more noises to the mix of moans and grunts.

Her eyes started closing as she basked in all the pleasure coming to her. Her eyes suddenly jolted when she felt something reaching for her tail.

It was Zill, gripping on her tail which caused her to squeal. Zill noticed her high pitch voice when he did that, making him grin mischievously.

YOU LIKE IT WHEN I GRAB YOUR TAIL DON'T YOU?!!

Zill teased her with his other hand slapping her ass.

F-FUUCKKKK~ MMMMPPHHHH, N-NO

Noticing her lies, he then pulled her tail a little making her scream in pleasure.

Y-YOU DICK MMMPHHH

Inside, Zill was joyful as she was always the one who has the first word out of anything he did.

F-FASTER OHH~

Lauretta suddenly begged as Zill readies himself. Moving his hands, holding the sides of her waist, he then plunged the deepest he could.

Lauretta moaned with her mouth wide open, as she felt his tip poking against her womb.

With swift speed, he immediately dragged his penis back before thrusting again with immense pressure.

He increased his pace as her ass started forming ripples as he slammed against her.

F-FUCK YOU'RE SO ROUGH~ I LIKE IT

She suddenly admitted as Zill wondered if it was her or the alcohol talking.

Soon, the room they were in were filled with sloppy smacking sounds and loud moans. Zill started going turbo mode as he ravaged her insides.

He occasionally smack her ass, earning sharp moans from her.

Soon, he could feel her walls tightening around him. It made him a little slower but the pressure being wrapped around his dick was arousing him even more.

Juices and pre cums started dripping down her body. Now, her eyes started crossing from all the pleasure she's feeling.

F-FUCK IM CLOSE!!

She warned him but Zill was also in the same situation as he gets faster.

FUCK LAURETTA, I'M GONNA... IM GONNA...

Zill warned her, closing his eyes as his dick barely left her, punishing her insides.

DO IT!!! DO IT INSIDE!!! ANNNHHHH

She yelled, giving him approval as he grabs onto her tighter.

ANNNNNNHHHHH ZILLL!!!

OH FUCCKK!! LAURETTA!!!

With a unison scream, Lauretta's walls were immediately flooded with juices as she orgasmed. With one final plunge, Zill's dick penetrated all the way back to her womb, poking through it before he released his thick cum inside her.

Lauretta grunted at the feeling of hot and thick liquid flowing inside her womb, mixing with her own essence.

Feeling overwhelmed by the pleasure, she could feel her eyes being taken over by pleasurable darkness. Slowly her consciousness fades but throughout, it seems as if she heard someone calling for her. But it didn't matter as silence and comfort engulfed her eyes.

Slowly, her eyes flicker open, seeing the room they were in which was litted before, has now gone dark. She slowly adjusted her eyes and seeing a blanket covering her.

She slowly moved her body, feeling the aching coming from her legs. Though, her eyes looked forward but didn't see the men who was with her.

Her ears perk when she heard her window being open as she immediately turn around to see Zill halfway through the window.

"W-wait!!" She called, jumping from the couch before sprinting towards him.

Zill shook as he was startled a little before seeing a naked fox running towards him.

"L-Lauret-

Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around him strongly, and luckily he managed to stay stable, otherwise he would've fallen out the window, not that it would affect him the slightest.

He was surprised at her sudden embrace but welcomed it as he puts his arm around her. Slowly, it registered in his mind that he was hugging a naked woman.

"Umm, you know you're naked right?" Zill asks while still embracing her.

"It's not like you'd mind!!" She says before separating.

"Hey, leaving without saying goodbye?" She crosses her arms, raising a brow but Zill chuckled it off.

"You were sleeping, didn't wanna wake you!!" He responded.

"You know... you were good, my legs are killing me!!" She said which made him blush a little.

"Y-yeah... I guess it's been a while, sorry if I got a little carried away!" He says but she shook her head.

"Not really!! It's kinda fun seeing this other side of you, the 'sexual awakener' type!" She giggled as he embarrassingly scratches his chin.

"Not really the best way to put it!" He jokes.

She laughed at his joke but suddenly pulled a sad face. Zill seeing her mood became a little concerned.

"Is something wrong?" He asks her.

"N-no, it's just, it's the last time I'm gonna see you right?" She asks him.

"What do you mean?" He asks her back.

"I don't want to pressure you Zill. I know you probably don't feel the same way even after the 'sex'..." She smiled a little.

"I want what's best for you. I might seem a little mean sometimes but... truth is... I care a lot about you Zill" She suddenly admitted as Zill's eyes went wide.

"You're a hero... I'm... well, me... Even if things don't work out, I just wanna say I lov-

Suddenly, she could feel something warm cupping her cheeks. She was surprised to see that it was his hand as she looked forward.

Zill stared at her longingly with a warm and soothing smile. Slowly, he puts his lips on hers just like she did with him earlier, causing her to tear up a bit, overwhelmed by the emotions.

They separated and Zill opened his mouth, "Lauretta, this past few months with you was one of the worst not gonna lie-" He said which made her sad.

"But, the time I spent with you is probably the best moments in my life. People and even you might see yourself as well... you, but I see a woman, a lovely, beautiful, slightly rude, woman whom... I love.." He says as she couldn't help but grin.

"You're right, I also don't know how it's going to work or even what's going to happen... but what I do know, is I'm not going to waste another chance... not anymore... This time, I want to be together... with you, starting over!!" He says before hugging her.

He could hear her sniffing besides him, no matter how hard she tried to contain herself.

"Well, I don't love you, fucking idiot~!!!" She sarcastically jokes while weeping.

Soon, they separated as she rubs her eyes.

"Didn't expect you to be a crybaby!!" Zill jokes as she grumbled.

"Shut up!! You little-"

"I'm just kidding..." He says giggling.

"Well, I guess... I'll see you tomorrow?" Zill asks her as she felt puzzled.

"Tomorrow? Why?"

"W-well, we're together now aren't we? I thought I could help you with some stuff to... you know, move in with me?" He asks her as it wasn't the answer she was expecting but she needed it.

"Huh, couldn't wait for more 'private' actions huh?" She teased him as he choked a little.

"Well, alright... though, don't expect me to wake up until late in the afternoon tomorrow after what you did to me!" She says as he could only shake his head at the woman in front of him.

"Though, I could see mini you bulging from under there!!"

She pointed out with an alluring smile as Zill immediately look down to see his bulge visible from underneath his pants.

"If you don't mind, maybe we could continue our little entertainment?" She asks him, lying down on the couch with her belly down, her ass glued to his eyes.

"Fuck it..." Zill then removed his legs and entered back, moving towards her. Plus, the night was still young.

Underneath the full moon, two people, a hero and a villainess were now brought together by the adventures they took. Perhaps now it will lead to more, whether it be adventure and fortune or maybe sorrow and pain, only the future holds the secret. And even something, or someone more.

As the moon shines on the two, it was also shining elsewhere. A dark, grim castle in the middle of a creepy, misty forest. It's walls made out of broken and brittle bricks, moss and vines hanging from the walls.

Inside the castle though, it was fairly decorated which was unlike it's outer appearance. Inside a bedroom located in the castle, a woman could be seen. Skin as pale as sickness, eyes as red as blood and fangs as sharp as daggers.

The woman could be seen hiding underneath a set of dark blankets which covered her body. Though, her revealed shoulder shows she was naked underneath.

She sat on her bed, looking out into the moonlight, shining inside her room.

The room reflected some light from a clear crystal glass she was holding. The light refracted the thick red liquid inside. The stench, too foul for mortals.

She tips the glass, as the liquid flows into her mouth while some flowed down her chin, dripping down onto the dark blanket covering her.

AHHH

She gasped at the refreshing and delicious taste of the liquid.

"Such sweetness..." She looks into the empty glass.

"Such warmth..." She stood up in all her naked glory, basking in the moonlight.

"All of it makes me... hunger..." She licks her lips, her tongue brushing past against her fangs.

"And what better meal would it be than the blood I missed so much.."

She walked elegantly towards a table, putting her glass down before grabbing a piece of what seemed to be a newspaper. Though the title on the front page reaches her eyes as she laughed.

"Oh~ I wonder how the reunion will be~ hahahahha" Her maniacal laughter filled the room as the newspapers fell on the ground.

The page in front showed a picture of Lauretta standing in front of a podium in front of a crowd with a caption above that reads.

NEW GOVERNER OF THE A DISTRICT SAVED BY A MYSTERIOUS HERO

"My~ Zill~..."

THE END OF THE FIRST ARC

A/N: Hello, I really hope all of you enjoy the first arc. This was fun to write and also longer since I got carried away and yeah, I would love to continue it more. I'll try to be more consistent but I don't think it's possible but I'll try my best. I also wanted to make Venganza, the second villainess but I'll probably do a couple short chapters just to explore Zill and Lauretta's relationship before moving to the second arc. But this is it for now and hope for more.
