(EDITING) Under A Lonely Moon

Part Twenty One

Zak's P.O.V

His blood red eyes glared down at me as he brought he knife back, touching my skin before

Plunging it deep beneath my flesh. Sharp teeth poked out of his mouth as he smiled cruelly.

I screamed for him to stop, trying so hard to push his huge form away from me. He didn't stop.

Instead he ran the blade across my chest, splitting the skin, covering my weak body in crimson

Liquid.

I screamed. I wrenched my eyes open and panicked when I felt a weight around my chest. In

Blind panic I threw it off and scrambled weakly to my feet, which barely supported my weight.

'Zak?' A surprised voice echoed round the dark room. I felt my body instantly relax as I knew the

Voice. 'You okay babe?' I heard creaking as Nova got up off the bed.

I flinched when his hands came into contact with my sides. 'Whats wrong?' He whispered as his

Thumbs rubbed soothing circles into my sides.

'B-bad d-dream.' I whispered back, finally finding my voice. 'S-sorry I woke y-you.'

Nova sighed before pulling me close to him. He turned me to the side so he wouldn't crush my

Huge belly as he hugged me tight to his bare chest. He kissed the top of my head gently, 'want to

Talk about it?' He asked.

I shook my head, not saying anything, but I knew he could see it. 'Ok, come on let's get back to bed,

It's only 2 in the morning.' He yawned softly as he pulled me back to the hospital bed.

'C-can we g-get something to d-drink?' I asked before we got settled.

'Sure, I'll go grab you one.' Nova went to get up again but I grabbed his arm.

'I-I want to c-come t-too. Don't l-leave me a-alone.' I whispered, my voice trembled despite my

Effort to keep it even.

'Don't worry Zak, I'm not going to leave you.' Nova wrapped a strong arm around my back, guiding

Me through the dark house.

He had to walk extra slow as I found it hard to keep up with him. It was bad enough that I had to

Waddle like a penguin but because my body was still healing, my energy levels were depleted,

Which made simple tasks such as walking very difficult. I put a hand on my swollen belly and held

Nova's shirt with the other. A smile spread across my face as I felt my little baby stir. 'Ouch,' I

Whimpered as the little devil kicked out suddenly, hitting one of my many healing cuts.

'You alright?' Nova had stopped walking and turned to face me. The hallway was lighter than the

Hospital room so I could make out his features now. He looked worried.

I smiled up at him and took his hand in mine, placing it gently on my stomach. I saw his face light

Up when he felt our baby move and kick for the first time. He placed a gentle hand either side of

My tummy and pulled me gently into him as he kissed me tenderly. I kissed him back, pouring all

My love into it.

I grabbed a handful of his soft hair, pulling him down to me. His tongue tapped my bottom lip,
