Disclaimer: I do not own Chronicles of Nick.

Warning: Probably OOC characters, but I think this is how they would act in this situation.

Happens before the epilogue.

Zavid prowled through his new master's home. He knew that Nick hadn't meant to enslave him; it was easy to see the truth in the young boy's eyes as he said that he hadn't known that saving demons now had a side effect. Zavid was grateful that he had been saved but at the same time it was annoying that he was right back into slavery.

Finally he got to the door the young one was behind; from the way his heart beat and his aura dimmed he was asleep.

Zavid quietly went through the door and stepped up to his new master. He sighed as he let a hand go through Nick's hair, the boy was so innocent and yet he was the son of pure evil. It was just wrong to hurt something that still needed so much time to grow and learn.

The wolf growled low in his throat and he knelt down next to the much younger one, "I promise little one, master, I will protect you. Failing won't happen."

The young half-demon almost smiled in his sleep snuggling against the elder. Zavid smirked, the boy would probably argue with anyone that called him cute but it a way he really was. The wolf pulled the covers over him more and made him shift into a better position.

"He has that affect on people."

The wolf turned around to see the other demon that was slave to the Malachi. Nick called him Caleb but something said that this 'Caleb' was very powerful.

"What do you mean?" Zavid asked getting up, reluctantly tearing himself from the young one that he was suddenly feeling the need to protect.

Caleb smirked walking closer to them, "Nick has a unique ability to worm his way into the hearts of everyone that he meets. I think that's why you freed him in Helheim and why you feel the need to protect him so strongly. It happened to me too, and when I realized it slapped me in the face harder that a pound of bricks."

"This one is so young and innocent," Zavid muttered.

Caleb sighed and nodded, "Born by a human and raised with love, a Malachi unlike the rest. And unlike his brother and sisters and unlike his ancestors he doesn't want to kill people. Harm people if they hurt or talk about any of his family, sure. But he wouldn't kill unless necessary."

"Then how is he going to survive being a demon? Eventually more than a few little creatures are going to pop up. And they are going to come for every single reason imaginable." The wolf almost hissed the last part.

"That's why he needs us, he won't survive."

"Ever?"

"For a while at least. And when he does learn to defend himself and kill, he still will probably need us." Caleb brought the wolf out of the room. "So I'm going to tell you now, don't think of him as a master or anything of the sort. He thinks of me and more than likely you too as a friend."

The demon left Zavid at that.

That was when Zavid finally accepted his fate, his friend and master was going to be completely safe under his watch.

Okay thanks for reading. I was reading Chronicle of Nick fanfiction, where there isn't a lot of them. So this one author asked us to write more and I reviewed saying I don't know I have a lot of stories to work on; but I couldn't get the idea of posting out of my head for the next about an hour and I had already come up with a scene in my head. So I went alright I'll write something. This was that. So I'm going to ask too, please help write some more.
