North looked around her confused. "Who are you?" She asked the man.
It was M, but he was undistinguishable because his lumpy gray sweater was stained almost black with blood. He seemed to have collapsed, and he was shaking gently.
Ah, here's the girl. So, your brother made sure that she couldn't hurt herself from the inside, and you ensured that she couldn't hurt herself from the outside. Smart, Zackary crooned, but what's she gonna do now?
Zackary grinned. "Hello, North."
North winced as pain shot through her forehead. "I asked who you are."
(is she harry potter? and Zackary doesn't do anything to her physically when he's there)
"I'm Zackary." He responded coolly. "But I wouldn't expect you to know who I am."
(lol ok)
"What am I doing here?" She asked, not taking her eyes off of Zackary.
"I just wanted to talk to you." He raised his hands. "I'm not going to do anything to you."
"About what?"
"About your parents."
"I don't know shit about my parents and if I did I probably wouldn't tell you."
"Oh, no…" He laughed gently. "Actually, I was going to tell you about your parents because M's not gonna do jack shit. But if you really don't want to know about them I can easily send you back, into the dangerous war zone of that dimension."
"What do you know?" She asked tentatively.
"I know whatever you want to know. I've known your parents for a long time. From the moment I was fourteen, to the moment Cameron was laying on his deathbed."
"Where are the rest of them? The other nine?"
"Your siblings? They're alive, in the world. But in our dimension, there's a lot of controversies. They didn't want you living there, in the state they're in."
"Oh.." North turned away from him and looked up at the tall trees surrounding them.
Zackary stared at the back of her head. "You look like him. A lot. You look like Xanthe, too.
"They would be proud."
"I've been told.." North muttered.
"But I mean it. I knew them better than anyone."
"I just wish I had known them.."
"I can tell you as much as you want. And if you'd like, I can pull a few strings and you can see them."
"Really?" North asked hopefully.
Zackary grinned a little. "Of course, if you'd like."
"I'd love to." North said turning around.
