Human Again (Or Like It)

Human Again (Or Like It)

Zane's POV

She kissed me this time. I was actually surprised. I couldn't sense anything. My 

nose was so clogged up with her sweet scent...her wonderful blood...No. Not her blood, 

never.

I had leaned her up against the tree. I laid over her. Then I heard a loud step or 

landing rather; a loud cry- of agony? rage? I don't know. But I got off her so fast and 

whipped around. I saw the Inccubus. He was golden, naked, and I saw his tattoo. It was 

all lacy....lacing around his body like a snake. His face was contorted into more than one 

emotion: confusion, terror, anger, devastation...I could go on and on. He looked like I had 

ripped his heart out. 

I don't know why I ran. I shouldn't have left Ava alone. That was a mistake on my 

part. Shouldn't have left her...Shouldn't have left her...I shouldn't have. But I did. I left. I 

ran back to Honor's Headquarters. I walked through the door calmly. I walked through the 

corridor down to the throne room. And guess who was walking towards me. Jada. Jada, 

the mind-reader. She's a total b***h.

     

"Why, hello, Zane...Oh, you do have some interesting things in that brain of 

yours," she winked at me. "Wouldn't want Adrianna to find out about that, now would 

you?" 

     "Find out about what, Zane?" Called Adrianna from down the hall. 

     "Goddamn you, Jada. Just leave." I said.

     "Don't worry, she doesn't know yet." She laughed, it echoed along the walls after she 

had walked away. Now Adrianna was in front of me. 

     "Tell me, Zane." Her eyes wide with innocence. "What don't I know?"

     "I...saw the Inccubus." I stammered.

     "You DID? Come, let us tell the others." Relief flooded through me that she believed. 

After all, it wasn't really a lie. It just wasn't what Jada had in mind.

I love Adrianna, I really do, I just can't think about her when I'm with Ava. With 

Ava, everything is clearer. I feel free from this eternal hell. She's my middle ground. I can 

just go to her. She makes me feel...like I have a heartbeat...like I breathe...like I live. I 

love the way she makes me feel so...Human.
