Haunted Museum

3rd Person P.O.V- Against Patty's better judgement she refused to be at the location when the ritual took place. She knew for a fact Zak's intentions weren't pure of heart and this ritual was a very bad idea, but she let it go and wasn't going to argue with her fellow Sorceress. Now Bloody Marry gave Zak a specific set of instructions that he had to follow in order for the ritual to work, then she too left the location after placing wards to contain the magic within.

Zak- I followed the instructions perfectly as the bloody pentagram lays drawn out on the stone floor. Circled by symbols of life with black, white and purple candles.

Nick- The ritual is taking place in the Dungeon, walking down the rickety steps I'm faced by a very unusual scene. "Is that blood?" I study the pentagram more closely.

Zak- I walk out of the next room and find Nick kneeling on the floor already. "Yes...more precisely, it's my blood."

Nick- Startled I look up, to see Zak shirtless and in tight black leather jeans. "Uh..." Prying my eyes from his muscular chest, I finally notice the cuts along his forearms.

Zak- Ignoring his stares, I continue with what I'm doing. "You need to take your shirt off and lay in the middle of the pentagram."

Nick- I have faith in Zak not to kill me, not that it matters much at this point. Without question I take off my shirt, tossing it to the side and lay in the middle of the pentagram.

Zak- I walk over and kneel, then stratal his waist with my legs either side of his hips.

Nick- I look up into his eyes and notice they are no longer blue, but black.

Zak- Picking up a ceremonial dagger, I dig it into his forearms as his blood mix's with mine. "Por el aire y la tierra
Por el agua y el fuego,
Así que estar atado
Como deseo-
Por tres y nueve
Eres el alma que me atan,
Al mediodía y al sol
Mi voluntad se hará.
Cielo y mar
Mantener el daño de ti,
La cuerda va alrededor
El amor esté atado,
¡ la luz revelada por la oscuridad será sellada!"

Nick- I close my eyes tightly as pain radiates through my whole body. (Gasps) "Fuck!"

Zak- I take a deep breath and slowly let it out, then slide the dagger into his lower abdomen.
(Mutters Softly) "Primero debes morir
Para sobrevivir" His eyes snap open, looking at me in shock, then his labored breathing slowly stops. (Shivers) "Sangre de tu sangre
Corazón de tu corazón
Atado a tu alma
A través de mi vida-te resucitaré" Leaning down I press my lips to his and breath life back into him. As the candles go out on their own, when he takes his first breath.

Nick- I'm suddenly pulled out of the darkness by a pair of lips. (Groans Softly) I eagerly return the kiss.

Zak- (Growls) I grasp his jaw, sliding my tongue into his mouth.

Nick- I press my hands against Zak's chest and push him back. (Mumbles) "Air...breath..."

Zak- Pulling away slightly I press my forehead against his. "Mine."

Nick- I look into Zak's dark eyes. "What was that?"

Zak- I refused to answer. "Mine."

Nick- I knew I wasn't going to get an answer at least from him. (Nods) "Yours."

Zak- I pick him up off the floor and carry him off upstairs, making sure the dungeon room is locked up once more.

Nick- I'm suddenly held over Zak's shoulder. "Aren't we gonna clean up?"

Zak- "Not tonight." I take him out to the car and set him in the passenger side seat, then get in myself. I drive us back to the manor.

Zakula Manor

Nick- Once inside, I'm forced to shower and get changed for bed.

Zak- After I make sure Gracie is taken care of I join my soul-bonded in bed.

Next Day

(Cell Rings)

Nick- I grab the phone before it could wake Zak. "Hello?"

'Ah Nick...hello!'

'The ritual worked then...good.'

Looking over at Zak's peaceful features, I run my fingers through his hair. "I have a question about the ritual...besides the fact it had to be done between lovers, what kind of ritual was it?"

'Zak never told you?'

'It's a soul-bonding ritual. In order to fix your soul, he had to kill you after bonding what was left you to him through blood and heart. It's a taboo ritual.'

'Try it's forbidden and boarders illegal, because it dabbles in Necromancy. It's a very temperamental ritual and can go sideways if ones intentions are not pure of heart or are mixed.'

I nearly drop the phone in shock. "So Zak really could have killed me last night..."

'Hun, you did that to yourself along time ago...'

'He saved you.'

I hang up and toss his phone back on the night table, my eyes widening as it finally sank in. "FUCK!"

Zak- Startled, I glance up at Nick. "What has you out of sorts?"

Nick- I give him a shove, which sends him off the bed. "You son of a bitch!"

Zak- I look up the younger male in shock. "What did I do?"

Nick- Everything I've done, everything I've lost, the promises and vows that I've broke...I remember it all.

Zak- (Raises Eyebrow) "You're pissed off at me for giving you back your life."

Nick- "You fucking took it!"

Zak- "How did I take it Nick? You left, I didn't make you...in fact I begged you to stay!" I get up off the floor. "I moved on with my career, figured you did too. Until you showed up a few nights ago saying you royally fucked up! Nick if you are gonna experiment do it smart and don't risk your fucking life. If you wanna be pissy with me that's fine, but I gave you your soul back."

Nick- "Ya by bonding me to you first! Do you have any idea what you did? What that means? What if I wanted to go back and see if I can make things work out with Vee for the sake of my girls. I can't because I'm now married to you!"

Zak- I was highly amused. "Oh I know exactly what I did. "Because I love you, I refuse to let you continue to tether your soul between realms. I refuse to watch you wither away until there absolutely nothing left. I refuse to watch the empty shell that you've become experiment with something so dangerous just to find life and the light again. So yes we are now married because I fucking love you and refuse to let you kill yourself!" I grab some clothes and disappear into the bathroom, slamming the door shut.

Nick- I hear the water turn on for the shower and knew Zak was gonna be in there for awhile. (Sighs) Love is fucking complicated.

So be you bound

Keep harm from thee,
Cord go round
Love be bound,
Light revealed
By darkness be sealed!
