Zenon Zogratis POV (Point of View)

I woke up hearing the front door shut, I quickly looked out my window to see Lucius leave but where was he going? I jumped out my window and tried to follow him tell he made his way to the strong magic region. His leaving the kingdom, but where could he possible be going? It was then I knew someone who was good at figuring things out like this.

"Heeeeeeeeeeeyyy . . . . . . . . . . . Vanica.?"

"What?"

"I need help."

"With what?"

"Figuring out where Lucius keeps leaving too."

"you're trying to figure that out too?!"

"Yeah, and all I know is that he's crossing the strong magic region." 

"What really?! Cool, let go."

"Are you crazy!!

"Yeah little why?"

"*Sigh* We can't just go walking in the strong magic region, we'd get killed!"

"Not if were careful."

"Okay, you go carefully walking through the strong magic region and call me when you're dead okay."

"Okay, I've always wanted to call someone from the after-life."

My gosh this women is freakin' insane.

"I was begging sarcastic."

"I wasn't lets go."

"What the fuck do you think you're going to accomplish by doing that?"

"I like you more when you get mad, you kinda act like a real man."

"I am a real man-"

"Don't kid yourself."

"I know."

Wait did I just agree with her on that?

"Wait I take that back!"

"Too late."

"But *ah*-"

"Nope to late."

Vanica and I went down to the edge of the strong magic region and waited for Lucius to come back. Guess what . . . . . . . . . He didn't. We waited for over 4 hours, doing nothing but playing rock, paper, scissors, and drawing in the snow till the tips of our fingers were blue, we decided to head home when my lips became slightly blue. On the walk home we talked.

"Hey Vanica?"

"What?"

"Can we be friends?"

"Aren't we?"

"Are we?"

"I thought we were, thats why I play pranks on you, and be a little mean, it's just me playing around."

"Thats you playing around, I thought you hated me or something?"

"Well I mean you are pathetic coming home covered in bruise and blood, but na, I like you, so just in case you didn't know, yeah were friends."

"That's nice to know, I thought Allen was gonna be my only friend."

"So are two like lovers?"

"What?! No, were just friends."

"So then when are you gonna ask him out?"

What is she talking about? Ask my best friend out on date? What if the date ends bad, then he isn't going to want to remind my friend. It's not like I like Allen like that anyways, right? Why am I asking this to myself.

"You're weird Zenon, and we shout really hurry home, you're lips are really blue."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you most likely have hypothermia."

"Oh shit, we really should get home."

Vanica and I got home and Dante actually seem worried when we entered the door. Dante walked over quickly and grabbed Vanica by her shoulders and turned her side-to-side.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"No I'm fine, you can let me go."

"Zenon are you, my gosh you're freezing!"

"I'm fine."

"No you're not, you most have hypothermia come, sit by the fire, cover up and Vanica will make you some hot-coco."

"Why do I have to-"

"Vanica, go."

"Okay, okay."

It was odd, it had been a long time since Dante had been worried about me, and turns out Vanica and I had been friends all this time, but I'm still confused why Dante takes me to his room, does he think I like it or something? Maybe I could ask when he comes back, can I ask something like that? Well I'm about to find out.

"Hey Dante I have a question."

"what is it?"

"Why do you force me into you're room, even when you're so worried that I hurt just now?"

"Wait, I'm sorry force? I thought we've been role-playing or something, Lucius told me you like kinking things."

"I mean I do, but not like that."

"I'm sorry, we don't have to do it again if you don't want to."

"No, I don't mind, as long as you stop when I want you too."

"Yeah okay, now here are some more blanket keep warm."

It was weird to think, that for about two months Dante was just mistaken, Vanica just plays hard but Lucius, he still just wants me to be host, but maybe, just maybe I'm mistaken about him.
Lucius came through the door and looked confused at me and Dante.

"Whats going on in here?"

"Zenon has hypothermia, so were trying to keep him warm, Vanica's making some hot-coco for him to drink."

"Thats good keep him warm, if anyone needs me I'll be in my room."

"Okay, hey Lucius, can I have the key to the medicine cabinet?"

"What for?"

"In case Zenon gets worse."

"I guess, here."

Lucius tossed a small key to Dante. Later Dante took me to my room and tucked me in.

"I'm not a little kid anymore, you don't need to tuck me in."

"But I do, that is if you want to get better."

"Fine, just you're not allowed to do it when I'm better got it!"

"If only I listen to people younger then me. Get some rest Zenon."

"But I thought if you had hypothermia you weren't supposed to go to sleep?"

"Shit, um.....Vanica can you come watch Zenon to make sure he doesn't fall asleep."

"I can stay wake it's fine."

"Okay, but call me if you start felling sleepy."

"Got it."

During that time I didn't get to come see you, I got really sick and couldn't even get out of bed. Which I blame on Dante saying So he doesn't get any worse, well guess I did.

Well I'll tell you more later. :| "Zenon you should smile more." "How come?" "You always look...bored." "Oh really?" "Yeah" "Okay then.":)
