Chapter 1: Forgive Me, Please
Zoey's POV
Everything was quiet. It was too quiet then a bloodcurdling scream came from outside the steel grate. I went to look at what it was. It was my Grandma Redbird getting attacked by a raven mocker. I awoke screaming with everyone but Erik surrounding me. "Where's Erik?" I asked afraid of what might of happened to him. "He went to look for food, clothing, water, and other things that we'll need." Venus Davis replied. Erik was back within 2 minutes after Venus said that.
Everyone grouped up and started to talk. The red fledglings, Aphrodite and Darius, Damien and Jack, the Twins, and that left me to have Erik as my partner for when we went exploring around for stuff. Erik was the only normal vampyre and Stevie Rae was the only red fledgling to have completed the Change. Erik was also my ex-boyfriend. Meaning that being grouped with him sucked for me and probably him, too. He had and has hated me ever since he walked in on me and Loren Blake.
Erik did not talk to me for about fifteen minutes after we went to look for food and the other stuff we needed. All of the sudden he stopped walking. He grabbed my hand making me stop, too. He said, "Zoey, I am sorry for being rude but it is very hard to forgive you for what you did. You betrayed me with that late Loren Blake. I knew about the human and I also knew you were trying to break the Imprint with him, but it does not help that you have a full and strong Imprint with Blake. He used you for the sex, Zoey. " I looked up at his crystal blue eyes and saw emotion swimming in the. Anger, sadness, hate, but also hope, and love. "I know it was really sluttish for me to have three guys, Erik. I am forever sorry about that. And you were right about Loren. He used me but not for the sex. He used me because Neferet told him to. I should never have gotten involved with him it was really wrong. Him being a vampyre and all." I told him.
He just stood there nodding. Pretty soon I felt sobs breaking free from me. Erik put his arms around my waist and pulled me into his chest. We stood there like that for so long. "Zoey, I have not forgiven you but it was nice to be able to talk to you today. That is when it hit me. There was pain in my lungs that felt like thousands of knives stabbing, twisting, then pulling forward. I was screaming
Erik's POV
Zoey fell to th ground screaming in agony. Darius was there in a minute. "Zoey, it is going to be okay. You are Changing. It will be over soon." I whispered on her ear. Trying but failing to calm her. I told her,"Zoey, call Earth, Water, fire, Wind, or Spirit to you. They will help the pain." She stopped screaming and laid on the ground for a few minutes. She sat up. "Erik, thank you for staying with me. Darius, thank you for coming and staying. Would you please go tell everyone I Changed and that will be back shortly? I would like to talk to Erik for a minute."
Tell me if you like it. Flames accepted and appreciated. Please tell me if I could do better.
