Stevie Rae POV
Stevie Rae paced up and down she hadn't heard from Zoey in over two days, why? didnt Zoey want to update Stevie rae on what had happened?
Its probily because your a lieing two faced best friend-she thought angrily
no Zoey would understand she new about keeping secrets she had to shes the only reason tht I still have my hummanity. Okai im going to call her ask her if shes okay. but wat do i say
Hey Zoey im just wonderin if your okaii cause im going mad and may also lose my hummanity if you stop beliveing in mee ohh i also just imprinted with a raven mocker and not just any it rephiam kalonas favorite...
of cause not shed just say hi and ask her wat had happened, okaii deep breaths.
Beeeep Beeep.....Ring Ring Ring
"Hello" it wasnt Zoeys voice but a deep voice tht seemed to be to hoarse to speak "Hello...."
"Ohhh hey Stark is umm Zoey there i need to speak with her if thats okaii.." Stevie Rae always felt awkward talkin to Stark well he did shoot her...her thought was interupted
" Zzz...oey cant speak at the moment..." he seemed to stutter over her name, then Stevie Rae felt it the unsettiling feeling tht something was wrong tht only came from her goddess
"Stark wats wrong wheres Zoey.." then the weiredist thing Stevie Rae had ever heard happened and considering what had happened to her it had to be big.
Stark began to cry there was some shuffling and Aphrodite was on the phone
"Stevie Rae, Zzz..oey fell when Kalona killed Heath Stark cuddnt get to her in time and shhe fellll,,, all her marks are gone and shheess baerly breathing wee dont no what wats happening and Arrow Boy wont movee her..."
stevi Rae cuddnt speak why Zoey? what did she do? all Stevie Rae new was that she needed to get to venice and fast.."Aphrodite im coming dnt say i cnt i am im brining Dallas i coming now tell every one she needs her circle bye!"
Zoey POV.
eveything was soo black i cuddnt see i cuddnt feel then the brightest light id ever seen blocked my vision,, out of the light the most beautiful figure came into view she was surrounded by peace and lovee then i realised who it was,
"Nxy's!" i exclamied
" yes Zoeybird, now listen to mee you need to return to your body there are still many evils to fight and secrets to uncover."
" wuddnt it just be easier for you to tell me??" i alredy new the answer...
"i choose to give you free will soo you can lead your own life and make your own choices, now before i leave i have something to tell you,, your greatest secret to uncover is the most powerful bond anyone can have but to uncover the truth you must listen to your heart.. you must let go of your past to make way for your future keep those close to you who you know you can trust, and those who you cant let them go befor they can hurt you good by u-we-tsi-a-ge-ya..." and with that she left me in the darkness with my own thoughts...
so i did as she sed i thought about my friends and how much i had hurt them, i thought about Heath and how we first met and our fisrt real kiss and how i would never feel his strong arms around my waist and i would never taste his sweet blood again and with that thought i broke down i cudd feel mmy heart shattering all over again once i pulled myself together, i thought about Stevie Rae and how much i whised she was here with me and what she cudd possibly be hidding and for the millionth time i whised we were back at the House of Night and are only problem was dealing with bitchy Aphrodite and if Erik liked me or not, then i thought about Stark and as soon as i thought his name i began feeling hatred towards myself, hurt, loss and most of all failure to protect my High Priestess, then i realised that they wernt my feelings gthey were Starks concentrating harder words began slipping through the invisible cracks...
"Zoey if you can hear me please wake up, i need you more than anyone thinks i cant live without you....Listen zoey i lovee you, if i lose you i'll lose myself as well and i dont mean the monster i mean the part you gave mee my heart and soul the part you made come alive..." after that his words faded and i started to think about when i first met Stark and wait WHATTTT?????????? he loves mee why? all i doo is hurt the people i love and cause everyone piain wait wat lovee?
OH MY GODDESS i loveed Stark. Then every thing became clear i cud feel strong arms around my waist and my head was resting on something hard and there was someone holding my hand whoever it was was talking and her words were becoming clear
"Hey Stark we need to move her to the infirmary, look i no you dont believe tht she gunnas live an be okaii, but well i do and look none of us want to lose her.." Aphrodite drifted of,wait stark didnt think that i was alive....That must be why he told me he loved me he thouhgt he was going to lose mee...
"Aphroditte i do not think shes dead her soul is shattered and..and i dnt no if it can be fixed i want to help but i dnt want to leave her!" Stark sounded sooo strong but i knew if he cudd he wudd break down right there at his worrds i cudd hear sniffles and i knew that it was the Twins, jack and Damien i wondered if Sstevie Rae knew yet then Darius' voice broke through my inner babble in..
"Sweetheart, Stark is greiving his High Priestess and needs time alone, we will wait for you in the infirmary until you feel you can move but remember the sun will be up soon and we need you in good health for when Zoey returns to us we have unfinished buisness." i felt Aphrodite let go and whisper "please,,Please be okaii,we need you Zoey there s still some major evil to fight!" and with that she left.
At that moment i heard something that i swear Stark never said out loud " Come on stark let her go you can do it.." i felt a little losening of his grip and then it was back twice as hard " no,,no i cant do it sorry Zoey i lovee you and i never want to let you go your my life, heart and soul and i dont care wat anyone says im never letting go.." at that moment my heart lifted and i swear i was glowing, then Starks next words could have killed me if i hadnt alredy been in that place i couldnt stand it any longer Starks pain caused mee pain and i wouldnt let him thik liike that a worls without Stark seemed impossible, his head was resting on mine and if i shifted just to the side i could reach up and kiss him, so thats excatly wat i did wen my lips touched his my soul exploded all i new was Stark and the way my lips mathched his. wen we were done we were both gasping for air "Hey" i sed in a weak voice and stared straight into Starks eyes my warriors eyes, my soul mates eyes....wait wat back up soul mate?? Of corse how could i have been so blind from the first time we met we connected at a soul deep level. I swear i must have been grinning like a fool cause Stark lifted his head back and laughed the laugh was filled with such joy, lovee, passion and and happiness Damien, The Twins and Jack all stopped sniffling to look up Aphrodite and Darius all turned round to see him as soon as they saw me they ran back screaming myname.
Stark helped me up and every one took tturns in giving me giant huggs and saying that it was good to have me back thankfully Darius helped me from being smushed by my best friends by saying " i think Zoey may need some rest she has been through a lot and needs her sleep to help us with wat we have to face." he gave me a welcome back smile and took Aphrodites hand she gave me one last hug and walked away the twins, jack and damienall folowed persuit. that just left me and stark.
i turned and looked him in the eyes he was smiling down at me i swear he hadnt taken his eyes of me since i first woke up " thank you goddess, thanks for bringing her back to mee" wait did Stark say that out loud i was just about to ask him wen he spoke for the first time.
"Come on you look like your gunna pass out on me." he took my hand and we walk back to the rooms and for the first time in months i felt well happy!
Stevie Rae POV.
The plane ride to venice seemed to take forever all i wanted to do was get to Zoey i needed to talk to her make sure she was okaii, i looked over to Dallas he was fast asleep and his snores were really starting to comfort me very fastly and reluctantly i fell asleep.
I was woken up by Dallas whispering in my ear tht we had landed as soon as he mentioned tht i would see Zoey i shot up like lightening grabbed his hand and literally flew of the plane. the boat ride didnt take as long as was quite peaceful but i was glad wen we docked on the island.
As soon as we were on land again i flew right to were i was told i would find Zoey i ran straight round the corner and paused right in that spot she was walking hand in hand with Stark she froze too and mouthed "Stevie Rae, Ohh My GoDDess" then i cuddnt take it any longer i bloted straught for her!
Stark POV.
Mee and Zoey were walkin hand in hand back to her room i was just about to suggest that we stop to get her something to eat and possibly tell her everything i felt for her wen she paused literaly froze in that one spot, i was about to ask her wat was the danger and what shocked her soo much she felt like she would explode but then i saw her she was frozen too just starin at Zoey guess she'd already gotten the news i was about to start walking again wen Stevie Rae bolted straight for us well Zoey.
Zoey POV.. Stevie Rae was bolting straight for me i barley noticed that she was being flanked by Dallas, but then Stevie Rae hit me and i mean hard my hand fell from Starks and around my best friend in the whole world and i cuddnt believe that she was here.
"Stevie Rae what are you doing here??" i sed close to tears,, she had a look of hurt in her eyes then i re-phased my question " not that im not glad your here i mean now my whole families here!!" Then i cuddnt hold back the dam that thretened to overflow and i looked up into my bestfriends eyes and i swear i saw a pink tinged tear fall from her eye.
"Well i heard bout what happened to ya'll and came rushing over your my sis Z i wanted to make sure you were okaii." her awnser caught me of gaurd only then did i realise that Stark was standing awkwardly next to me and Dallas nxt to Stevie Rae she noticed to and we both steppd back laffin in our mans arms.
"Stark can you plese show Dallas to his room is it okaii if he shares with you?" i looked up to meet Stark eyes i gave him an encouraging smile and he gave me one back.
"okaii, Come on Dallas its this way." Strak gave me a quick kiss leaving me feeling light headed gave me his cocky smile i loved soo much and went of into the night.
"So Stevie Rae you wanna be roomies again i have soo much to tell you??" i took less than two seconds for Stevie rae's answer.
" hell yess!!" Stevie Rae exclaimed and gave me another bear tight hugg.
laughing we walked of together to our room, Goddess i loveed Stevie Rae!
when we got back to our room i got a shower and waited for Stevie rae to finish up goddess i had had a long day then we both climbed into bed i had soo much to tell her about me and stark seeing the goddess what she sed and seeing heath. i was just about to tell her wen i realised that i had no idea how to start she looked over at me and like always new someting was up "you no you can tell me anything."
" yeah i do but first i need to call Aphrodite,," i picked up my phone and dialled her number she answered on the third ring..
"hello"
"heyy can you please come round i have somethin i need to tell you and Stevie rae?"
"yeah sure i'll be right over"
"k bye" then she hung up. it took her less than five minutes to get to my room and wen she knocked i jumpted straight up to let her in, she took one look at me and sed
"okaii wat happened between you and Arrow boy now??" i loved how she new me soo well so i simply sed
" i needed to talk to you and Stevie rae so get in here now!" she side stepped round me and went to sit on my bed completly un aware of Stevie rae sitting opposite her.
"soo wen r u goin to call you bumkin bff??"
"umm Aprodite shes right there" i pointed to the other bed and heard her shocked in take of breath so she really hadnt noticed??
Stevie rae stopped my thoughts "hey it bout time ya'll noticed me your bout as clever as a rodio clown on university challange??" before Aphrodite cudd make her witty comeback i laffed and sat next to Stevie rae on the bed.
"i didnt call you hear to fight i called cause i have somethin i need your help with." i gave them a serious look and they both mumbled there apologies "well okaii here it goes whilst i was well asleep.." i didnt like the thought of dying and then returning to my body"..Nyx came to me and told me that i had to wake up because there was still evil to fight and secrets to uncover well actually she sed 'your greatest secret to uncover is the most powerful bond anyone can have but to uncover the truth you must listen to your heart' i had no idea wat it ment but wen she left i did just that i sat there and thoght about every one i cared about and as soon as i thought Starks name i heard his voice in my head but i swear he never sed a word out loud,, and whilst i sat ther listening it suddenly clikcked into place..."
"WATTTTT???" they both sed toghter
"i realised that well were soul mates!" i sed simply i cudd tell by the expressions on there face that they thought i was crazy hell maybe i was but i didnt care cause i had the best warrior in the world and my bff had flown half way around the world to see me!!!!!
