.:Author's Note:.
I am sooo sorry that it took me so long to get this up! This is the continued series from my short story Go Back. To those who have sent me such wonderful reviews, thank you sooo much! Please keep sending me reviews! I love to hear lots of support! Anyways, please enjoy the chapter!
The boy I saw the puddle won't ever come, but I miss him, thought Stevie Rae. She and the other red fledglings moved back under the depot again and the war between Kalona and Zoey will begin soon. Once they come back to Tulsa, Stevie Rae won't have a choice but to fight Rephiam. It breaks her heart knowing she has to hurt someone who saved her. She doesn't think she could do it, but she already betrayed everyone by keeping it as a secret. If everyone finds out that she lied about the last raven mocker she wouldn't be able to make up for it. She'll lose everyone's complete trust and probably their friendship. It's a matter of who's more important: her friends or Rephiam? There's no way she'll be able to come up with a decision in time.
She looks to the wall with a blank look. It was already night time but she didn't feel like going out. She wanted to be alone for awhile. It was only a matter of time before she has to fight against Rephiam. Once she does, her heart will surely break.
What would my mama tell me if I sat in here sulking over a boy- er… bird guy? There's more fishies in the sea, or in this situation, more birdies in the sky…
Stevie Rae kept beating herself over about Rephiam. "Crack munchies!" She sighs loudly. She was starting to get frustrated again. She stood up, went outside, and walks down the street. She looks up at the sky and closes her eyes. She smiles a bit as she imagines Rephiam wrapping his arms around her and holding her close to him and his feathers tickling her skin with its warmth. The image was so clear in her mind it felt real. Stevie Rae opens her eyes and she stares at the cloudless sky. "Rephiam… I miss you…" She says softly. It has been a day and she was already saying she misses him. The wind blew and she could have sworn she heard I miss you too. She laughs softly.
"How could I fall for a bird?" She shook her head. She knew she could have a normal vampre, but there's something about Rephiam that draws him to her. Maybe it's his ability to talk to her so normal, or maybe it was the way he looks at her with his eyes? Whatever it was, she wasn't sure how to make the feeling to go away. What can she do about it now, though? She wasn't sure yet. "Dang it!" She fell to her knees and grips her knees with her hands. "I hate this!" She growls. Why didn't she let Rephiam die when he had the chance? Why did she saved him?
Because you love him, her mind whispered. Her head shot up. "That's crazy talk!" She shook her head. She couldn't love him. He's a raven mocker. She's a vampre. It won't seem right!
Love can come to anyone in any shape, form, or species, it protested. Stevie Rae shook her head protesting more. She wasn't ready to admit it.
Why? You saved his life and he saved yours. Why can't you love him? Her mind asked. "Because!" Stevie Rae says.
Because why? Her mind persisted.
Why? She asked herself? Why couldn't she admit she loves Rephiam? It'll be easier for everyone if she admits it.
"I love him," she whispers softly. She looks around her surroundings. Everyone was inside their house all cozy and warm. Everyone would probably be in bed by now. "I love him," she says louder. "I love him, I love him, gosh darn it, I love him!" She says even louder, rising to her feet. "I love Rephiam!" She practically yells from the top of her lungs. When she finally admits it she blushes deeply. It felt like a heavy load was off her shoulders and she felt light again.
She lets out a loud sigh and smiles. "There! I feel much better now!" Her mama would be so proud of her, but now she felt the emptiness inside of her that Rephiam isn't here with her. She frowns a bit and sighs. "Rephiam…"
"Yes?" Stevie Rae's eyes widen and her head whips around, her blond curls bouncing with her, and standing in front of her is her bird- her Rephiam.
"Rephiam…" She says softly and she stood frozen in her spot.
So, tell me what you all think? Am I putting Stevie Rae OOC? I need to know so I can try to improve. I don't want to be like a lot of people and keep her too bad OOC. I like to be serious with all of my stories and yeah. So please review! Also, I might need some help with ideas, so give me ideas while you're at it. Thank you!
