A stephiam one-shot.

If you like this, please read my other ff stephiam story, Destined:An awakened alternative ending.

I'll be doing a lot of one-shots as well so read those too :)

The night she saw

"Look I can do this with no pain!" Rephaim said, as he smiled and flexed his muscles infront of Stevie Rae. He looked gorgeous, his body framed by the moonlight, his hair swyaing in the breeze. Plus his muscles were just to die for! He certainly isn't like any other guy I know... then Stevie Rae realised what she was thinking, how she was seeing him. How fit he looked for a Raven Mocker, wondering how she didn't notice that before, perhaps it was somthing to do with their imprint, how he'd saved her life twice, the Black Bull's price: You will be forever bound to the humanity inside him. But deep down, Stevie Rae knew she'd been kinda crushing on him before that. He was actually a nice guy, and how when the bulls came he hadn't wanted to leave her, how she hadn't wanted him to leave.

Right now she actually liekd him more than she did Dallas, she felt normal around Dallas, a nice normal. But around Rephaim she felt like she could be herself, and even though she'd babble on, with every other guy they'd stop listening or moan at her. But Rephaim actually listened to her. Perhaps he likes me too, as soon as she thought it she denied it. Rephaim would never like her, he was a Raven Mocker, a monster as he kept saying. Then again, even though he hadn't needed to he came to the park to fight off the bull for me, he claimed me as his own.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked her. It was the voice too, that perfect, human voice. She liked that as well, hell she liked all of him.

So Stevie Rae did what she'd been doing for the past few weeks in front of her friends, practically family. She ignored the truth. "I-I'd forgotten that you flew to the park, well and from the park too." She nervously giggled. "That's stupid, isn't it? How could I forget somethin' like that?"

"I suppose you got used to seeing me broken," He said, with a slight confusion in his voice. Stevie Rae felt her heart miss a beat as his wings dropped to his side.

Stevie Rae stood abruptly and brushed off some dirt on her jeans. She went to walk away from him, but he grabbed her wrist. At his touch, Stevie Rae felt her blood boil and her stomach flip. She flinched away and stared at him, wide-eyed.

"I gotta go," she repeated.

"Will you return?"

"I have to! I promised!" She yelled the words at him, she'd have to come back. She felt her heart would be bruised unless she did.

"I release you from your promise!" He yelled back at her, his words felt like a wound to her heart.

"It's not you I promised - so you can't release me." Then as she swept past him, tears began to sting her eyes and then fall down her cheeks.

"Do not return because you have to. Return only because you want to." He called after her, of course I want to Rephaim, but we're impossible.

I know it was short, and I'm sorry. Please leave a review! + Tell me what Stephiam parts of tempted/burned/awakened you want me to do from the other's POV. Thanks xx
