Fate

House of Night

"A-ya," I heard him whisper through the wind. I turned thinking that the sound was coming from behind. Then I saw him. Kalona. His wings were as black as night. He was wearing nothing but pants. So that meant his chest was bare. I couldn't help but think he was gorgeous, even if he was my enemy. I tried so hard not to look into his eyes, because people who looked into them would fall under his spell, but failed. He looked at me with adoration. He walked over to me and strangely I couldn't move.

"I'm not A-ya," I said with a shudder as he stroked my cheek. He was so close that I could feel the heat radiating off of him. All I could think about was closing that little space between us. No! I scolded myself. He was my enemy! He tried to turn me away from my Goddess Nyx.

"Why do you keep implying that your not?" He wondered. I noted the anger flash through his eyes for a fracture of a second, but that was enough for me to break the trance he has put on me when I looked into his eyes.

"Because I'm not" I all but yelled at him. Man why couldn't he understand?

"Silence!" he screamed. And with that I felt myself jerk up into a sitting position, trying to catch my breath. Nala wasn't very happy with my sudden movement. She sneezed and went back to sleep. I swear her and Stevie Rae were the only ones who could fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. I shook my head smiling and looked at the clock. 2 o'clock it read. Seeing as at the House of Night our times were flipped from outside world, I should still be asleep. But, after that dream I couldn't fall back asleep.

Wait a moment I thought as soon as the dream caught up with me. I was dreaming about Kalona. How was that possible? It has been over a week since the terrible accident happened between him, Neferet, the Raven Mockers and me. They were trying to over throw Nyx's council and take over the vampire world, and possibly the humans as well, knowing Neferet and her hatred towards them. And I was the only one who could stop them. No scratch that, my friends and I were the only ones who could stop them, along side with Sister Mary Angela and my grandma.

Speaking of grandma, I got to call her and check up on her. She was still with Sister Mary Angela who was looking after her, after she got into a car crash. One of the Raven Mockers over heard Grandma and I talking one night and went after her, when she was going to town. Then I remembered she would be asleep right now, and I should let her rest.

Since I couldn't go back to sleep I went downstairs to go find a snack. As soon as I got down there I found Aphrodite on the couch staring at one of the flat screen TVs on mute.

Was she having another vision? Ok here's the deal with Aphrodite, when I first got Marked she was nothing but a total bitch. She once was the leader of the Dark Daughter and Sons, but after the whole ghosts-trying-to-eat-Heath-and-Erik thing and I'm-a-total-bitch-and-Neferet-can't-stop me-because-she-can't-read-my-mind ordeal she lost that privilege and I gained it. Then Nerfert told everyone in the school that Nyx left her, which she hasn't and that her visions were false and I was the only one to believe her. After that she and I have become closer. I guess you could call us friends now.

She must have not heard me coming because she jumped when I called her name.

"Aphrodite, are you ok?" I asked, "Are you having another vision?"

"No, sorry I was just thinking. I had the strangest dream. It was about Kalona." She said.

I froze in place.

"You too?" I said. What is going on? I mean I knew he could get into peoples dreams, hell he got into mine multiple times. Stark had to sleep with me, well not sleep as in sex, I mean sleep as in actual sleep, so Kalona couldn't get into them anymore. Apparently Kalona doesn't like competition.

"Wait, are you saying you had a dream about him too?" She asked

"Yeah, actually more than once," I sighed.

"AHHH!" We both heard the screaming and were racing up the stairs to the Twins room.

I rushed in the room, with Aphrodite right behind me, only to see both the Twins screaming.
