A/N Just so you know his is taking place after Stevie Rae's death and right before she is with Loren. this is going to be a parallel reality some things will stay the same somethings will change. this is my first fan fiction so plaese r&r. Okay Zoey disclaimer please.

Zoey: Shal does not own me nor the house of night series (thank the goddess)

Me: hey what's that supposed to mean

Zoey: Nothing...

Me: whatever let's get on with the story.

Daughter of Dawn

The dining hall went silent when a girl walked in. At first glance there was nothing strange about her she looked like an ordinary human no blue moon in the middle of her forehead. That was why everyone stopped. What was a human doing here? The day for your families to visit was not for another week. She looked around at all the faces staring at her and grinned.

"Ahh Roxana I presume" Neferet said coming up behind the girl. She turned around and stuck out a gloved hand to shake.

"And you must be Neferet the one I talked to on the phone" Neferet gave her one of her warm smiles which made me sick.

"Let's go to a more private area to talk' she spoke leading the girl out of the room. Everyone went back to talking as soon as they left.

"What was…

…That all about?" the twins asked

"No clue. I've never seen her before" Damien stated

"Me neither" Jack echoed

I sat in silence busy with my own unspoken questions. Why was Neferet talking to that girl on the phone? What were they talking about now? Who was she and was she really just a human? Something just felt off about her, not like the red fledgling off, but off. It was just a feeling but I didn't think she was human.

"Zoey, hey earth to Zoey we need to talk, now" Aphrodite was standing behind me with her arms crossed and a false look of distain.

"Oh look twin it's a hag" Shaunee muttered

"Oh look it's the dorkamese twins" Aphrodite countered

"Guys what did I say about being nice" they were starting to give me a headache with there bickering.

"Okay, I'm going to talk to Aphrodite I'll be back soon I told my friends as I got up to leave. I followed Aphrodite all the way to her room before she looked at me again. I can see the uneasiness in her eyes my heart dropped. I couldn't take anymore bad news with the way things were going.

"Okay Aphrodite what up is something wrong with Stevie Rae?" I asked her.

"No she's fine. I – that girl, well, I had a vision of her and it wasn't pretty. She told me and I could see he face getting paler.

"What? When?" was all I could manage.

"It was right after I had the vision of Stevie Rae and the red fledglings. I didn't say anything because it made even less sense and it was so fuzzy I could barely tell what was going on." Her eyes dropped to the floor as she spoke.

"What do you remember of that vision" she looked back up at me before going to sit down on her bed.

"Death and blood, everywhere. She was standing while seven people kneeled around her, but I couldn't see any of their faces." I didn't know what to think at this news. Is Neferet going to use her in whatever plans she had and what is she, to cause such destruction?

"Is there anything else you can remember?" But she shakes her head no. I sigh and go over to sit next to her.

"What does this all mean?" I ask aloud partially to Aphrodite and partially to Nyx. I received an answer from neither.

"You best go back to your nerd herd" she said getting up and walking to the door.

"They are not nerds I said though I knew she wouldn't listen.

"Yeah. Whatever." Was her only reply.

I walked back to where my friends were waiting. I ignored their questing looks and started eating the rest of my lunch even though I wasn't hungry.

"What did the Hag want to talk about" Erin asked

"Yeah what did she have to say?" Shaunee questioned

"She just wanted to talk about her affinity for earth" I lied knowing this was yet another thing I had to keep from them. I could see the anger and distain on my friends faces

"What was Nyx thinking …

…giving her the earth affinity? The twins complained

I only shrugged, knowing that it was not a conversation I should get into now. The most important thing right now was figuring out what that vision meant and who that girl was. I didn't even notice lunch was over till my friends called my name a few times

"Jeeze Zoey space out much?" Damien asked a concerned look on his face.

"Sorry I'm just very tired" I told him which wasn't a complete lie since I have been having trouble sleeping. The rest of my classes went by in a blur, my thoughts wrapped up in my ever more complicating life. I was just as distracted at dinner and I could tell my friends noticed as I just sat and picked at my food. Thankfully they didn't question me. I decided that going to the stable and grooming Persephone was just what I needed to help clear my mind.

"I'm going to go to the stables" I told my friends before getting up and throwing away my uneaten dinner and walking outside. I walked the familiar pat to the stables lit up with the familiar gas lamps, that didn't cause our eyes discomfort like the fluoresce ones. The night was chilly but because Vamps and fledglings had higher metabolisms I could barely feel it. It didn't take me long to reach the stables and I was not surprised to see only the horses inside, though I was glad. I got a brush and walked over to my horse's stall and started brushing her. In my head I made a list of all the things that happened so far.

One – I found out that Neferet was not as nice as she pretends to be and she kept the secret of the red fledglings and she knows I know.

Two – my best friend died and became a red fledgling and is fighting to keep her humanity and I have to help her

Three – I have Three boyfriends right now, sort of

Four – in order to protect my friends I have to constantly lie to them

Five – a random girl shows up and Aphrodite tells me she has a vision of her surrounded by destruction.

A/N sorry not much to this chapter hopefully the next one will be better. I hope to update soon.
