Stevie Rae:
"Why won't he understand?" I said aloud in frustration.
I just got back from seeing Rephiam and I was now pacing back and forth in my room down in the tunnels.
"His heart does matter!" I shouted.
Rephiam had said his heart didn't matter. How could he say that? It did matter. It mattered a lot. A lot more than it should…
"Stevie Rae? You ok?"
I jumped and spun around to see Kramisha standing in the door way.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine."
"You seem a little nervous." She said with a suspicious look slowly crossing her face.
"Nervous? Nah, I'm just thinkin'." Pull it together Stevie Rae!
"Yeah well keep you're thinkin' to yourself. I heard you shoutin' from my room."
"Sorry Kramisha. I'm just stressed. I'll keep it down."
"Ok. And I can tell you're still worrying about Zoey. Don't. She's strong, she'll be ok."
"Ok. Thanks, Kramisha."
"Yeah, yeah." With that, she left the room.
I tried to clear my head so I could think a little straighter.
So it was now more than a little obvious that Rephiam cares for me and that I defiantly care for him. But, Rephiam doesn't think his heart matters so he doesn't know what to do about well…us. And to put the icing on the cake, Kalona is back and that's going to create more problems for everyone.
The good news is that Zoey is back and she's stronger. I could feel it when Earth showed me when she woke up. So now that everything is getting back on track, we could start trying to get rid of Kalona and Neferet.
I stopped pacing and sat down heavily on my bed.
And I thought being the first new kind of a vampire was stressful. Ha, that was an understatement.
