It had been the owl from his mother, persistent little bugger that always bit him, that finally woke up him. The world blurry and sore around the edges. The words in that owl along with the other he'd missed from the night before had sent him leaping into action totally ruining the zen like ache pulsing through his body.
Zacharias had always known that Marietta was a bit twisted, it was a part of what drew him to her in the first place. And while he didn't think that she would actually hurt his sister, the fact that she was playing at it like it was some sort of game couldn't just be left alone. That and apparently he would need to collect Adelle from her captor so they could get home and be proper Smith children.
Although right now he was anything but despite the shower and clean pair of clothes. Zacharias didn't know how he was going to play this one, right now the anger from him was more about ruining his morning and if anything he was just annoyed with Marietta. So, it certainly wasn't as dramatic as it could have been with just a few loud knocks on her front door. He would give her 10 seconds to answer before he was letting himself in.
