Okay so this is my first ever fanfic so no judging too harshly. I meant to get this out as soon as I made the account on Saturday and keep up with Saturday updates since I just started school and I want to be able to keep up my grades. So here's what I have so far and I hope you like it.
Chapter 1
Stark POV
Zoey hasn't been the same since her vision with Nyx. After I got her to stop crying she went to sleep but instead of feeling her feelings I didn't feel anything, it was as if she wasn't there at all. When I woke up she was already awake and getting her stuff to go shower.
"Hey? You okay, Z?" I asked as I got up and held her hand searching her eyes for any tears.
"Yeah I'm okay, well I will be. We gotta get ready for class it's already 7:15 and we actually have to drive to the House of Night.", she said obviously stressed and still sad.
"Maybe you should hang back today and just chill out make some plans about the new House of Night. I could call Lenobia and get her to excuse you or something.", I said trying to figure out a way to keep her from any extra stress.
" I wish I could but I can't Stark. Today's gonna be hard for everyone to get accustomed to with the whole 'we go to school here but we live in the tunnels' and Neferet is gonna totally think she's winning just because I miss the first day after that poop storm yesterday." she said.
I thought about what she was saying and sighed saying,"Okay but the first sign that you need a break and we leave. Deal?"
"Deal. Now hurry up or we're gonna be late!" she said as she rushed out passed the blanket door.
Stretching again I left the room and went to the guys showers. On the way into the stall I saw Rephaim with Stevie Rae listening to what I'm guessing is how you shower the human way. Before I could stop myself I was chuckling and couldn't stop because it was like watching a really bad silent movie. Unfortunately Stevie Rae caught me mid chuckle.
"Hey you just zip it alright I bet ya mama had to tell you how to shower at some point! Just be quiet if you don't got anything nice to say!" she fussed before going back to talking to Rephaim.
"Sorry just couldn't help it." I said still smiling. But then I stopped as soon as I thought about how important Rephaim is to Stevie Rae just like Zoey is to me.
"Stevie Rae I can help him out you gotta get the red fledglings ready in about 10 mins to get to class on time." I said
I swear to the Goddess that girl lit up like the fourth of July when I said that.
"Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it!",she said to me hurriedly and turned to Rephaim. "Okay I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay see you soon Stevie Rae" he said as he gave her a quick kiss and walked towards me a little guarded but still calm.
"Hey I promise no tricks I just needed Stevie Rae to help Zoey out so she doesn't stress out as much. Now basically you just want turn the water on kinda warm or hot, take the soap-"
"I do not need you to explain to me how to bathe myself I was just humoring Stevie Rae. She thinks I'm completely clueless about hygiene when really my- I mean Kalona just ordered my brothers and I around around the clock so we never got the privilege." he said as he picked a stall and started the water.
Steam quickly surrounded the room and brought a sense of calm back to my breathing as I went through my morning routine. I was finally relaxing when I realized we were on a time schedule and Zoey was expecting me back any minute now. I shut the water off and quickly dried off and went to tell Rephaim the same when I realized he was already done and combing his hair.
"Well damn I feel slow!" I said to him as I just threw my towel in the basket we were using as hampers for now
"You should feel slow Zoey already came to the door and said to hurry up. I told her I would wait for you to come out." He said simply as if was just talking about the rain
"Dude I seriously gotta teach you about girls! Come on or we're gonna be late." I said as I started running down the hall
"I'm not welcome at the House of Night. I'm staying here with Aphrodite until Darius returns and then we are going to start making plans for the new school renovations." he said and then he turned and disappeared in the shadows.
So what do you think is really going on with Zoey? She seems sort of out her normal perky self. And Rephaim is being very mysterious... Tune back in on Sunday (because that's when I'm updating again) to see how this turns out!
