"Pie. Pie. Pie." Michael says jumping up and down.

"Well since you asked for it. Here it is." I say.

I take the pie out the oven and I put on the table.

"It's a little ho-" I try to say.

But he was already digging in. It was morning and luckily Michael didn't mention the kiss. Thank god.

"That pie was pretty good. For a mortal." He says when he finishes eating.

"Why thank you. And you're not so bad at taking up space yourself. For an immortal." I joke.

He makes a face at me. And I make a face back at him. We both start laughing.

Zi comes soaring in.

"Hey Nina. Hey Mikey bear." Zi says as she lands on her feet.

"Want some pie? Oh wait nevermind Michael ate it all." I say.

"It's fine." Zi said smiling.

"I can make more." I say getting up.

"No. It's fine really. I came to visit my future husband."  She says putting a hand on Michael's shoulder.

Michael flinched at her touch.

"Why are you so mean?" Zi asked.

She starts pulling on Michael cheeks.

They are like brothers and sisters fighting. I start laughing.

"Now let's have early sex Michael." She says grabbing on to his back collar again and dragging him.

"Nooooo." He says.

And they close my dad's room. Michael is running out in a second with only his pants on. Zi is in door frame looking after him.

"I always only get his shirt off." She says.

Michael stops right in front of me and holds on to me again.

Zi laughs. She plops herself on my couch and sighs.

"I'm not gonna chase you. I'm too tired." She says yawning.

Michael lets go of me and looks at Zi with concern.

"But you are never tired." He says.

I finally got a good look of Michael without his shirt. He looked amazing. He didn't have much muscles but he wasn't fat. I was blushing again. I awkwardly looked away.

"Zi what's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing you have to worry about." She says.

"Tell me it." He says.

"Okay, okay. I have a job and I just came from it and I'm tired." She says. But I know she is hiding something.

"Why would you need a job your mom and dad are the queen and king of vampires." He says.

"REALLY?!" I ask.

"Yup." Zi says.

"I didn't know I was having royalty company." I say.

"Whatever." She sighed.

"My parents took away my allowance and told me to make my own money." She says.

"Michael? Can you buy some tuna for Hope? We ran out." I say.

"Sure." He said.

He ran to the room and came out with his shirt on.

"I will be right back." He says.

"Wait!" I say.

"Here is the money." I say handing it to him.

"I don't know why I can't just steal it." He mumbled.

"I heard that!" I yell when he walks out the door.

I sit on the couch next to Zi.

"Nina." She says slowly.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I don't really have a job." She says.

"I know." I say.

"I'm actually dying." She says.

"What?!" I ask.

"I'm dying." She says.

"But- but." I try to say.

"It's fine. You don't have to pity me. My family is paying for the coffin and everything right now."  She says.

"When are you gonna die?" I ask.

"In a month is what was estimated." She says.

"I am getting less and less stronger." She says.

"What will Michael do if he heard the news?!" I ask.

"He would celebrate." She sighs.

"No. He really cares about you. I can just tell." I say.

"It's not like we can do anything. I just want to spend the rest of my time with Michael." She says.

"I see." I say.

"But you should tell him." I say.

"Fine. It's not like things can get worse."  She sighs.

The door opens and I hear Michael coming in.

"I'm back." He yells.

Hope jumps off the couch and runs to him. He places the tuna can in front of Hope and she starts eating it.

"Wow. She is eating way more than yesterday." Michael says.

"Michael." Zi calls.

"Yeah?"

"I'm dying." She says.

"What?" He asked.

"I'm dying... for you." She lies.

"Why didn't you tell him?" I whispered.

"I can't!" She says.

"What are you two whispering about?" Michael asked..

She grabs Michael's arm and pulls him close to her face. She looks him in the eyes.

"I'm dying." She says.

"What are you saying?" He says.

"I'm saying i’m gonna die." She says.

He backs away.

"No you're not." He says.

"Yes I am." She says.

He looks from me to her.

"Is she lying?" He askes me.

I shake my head slowly.

He falls on the couch with no expression.

"Since when did you feel?" Zion asked.

"Well anyway I have to get back home. My mom is always wondering where I am. " She says getting up.

And before we can say anything she was out the house.

"I think I know a way we can save her." I say.

Michael sits up instantly.

"How?" He asked..

"I can give her my blood. My blood does stuff to you so it might work for her." I say.

"But. Your blood is mine. I thought that was only between us." He said looking devastated.

"Stop being selfish we have to save her." I say.

"But what if she drinks too much? Or decides to drain you?" He whines.

"Don't worry about me." I say.

"But I want you. No, I need you." He says.

"It's not like I'm leaving forever she is just gonna have a sip." I say.

"What if she gets addicted to your blood?" He asked..

"Like you are?" I say.

"I'm not addicted to your blood. I just like it better than other people's blood." He says.

I laugh and shake my head at this.

"Michael. Trust me." I say looking at him.

"Okay. Just don't let her have too much. And I'll be watching." He says.

"Okay, dad." I sigh smiling.

He grabs me into a hug. I hug him back. I felt just right in his arms. Like I belonged there.
