Okay so this story is like the one I wrote previously called 'I Can't Hide it Anymore' but I changed some things that are gonna make the story way more interesting, so I hope you like it! It's taken place 5 months after Awakened.
Zoey's point of view
It's been 1 month since my life basically imploded around me. 1 month since Neferet became head of the vampire high council.1 month since Darkness made my life into a living hell. 1 month since I did what would be unimaginable a few weeks ago, and turned my back on Nyx. And 1 month since Stark sacrificed himself to save me.
I guess I should explain, what exactly happened in the past few weeks. Lets see...where do I begin! So much has happened, but I guess I'll start with Neferet becoming High Priestess of the vamp high council. It happened about 3 weeks after she killed my mom, but I hav no idea how or why the accepted her. My guess is that Neferet must have used her freaky dark powers to "persuade" them to give her the postion. Speaking of Darkness I should probably also tell what he did to ruin my life, even though just thinking about it makes the scars in my heart reopen. Causing not only immense sadness for the loss of Stark, to bleed from my internal gash, but also pure hatred. I hated Darkness with an intensity I had never felt before. Darkness is what caused my world to turn upside down. Using Neferet (although she would disagree and say that she's using it) Darkness killed my guardian. I still remember the scene fresh in my mind, as it replayed itself.
I was collapsed on the ground, desperately fighting for air, as the strands of darkness that seemed to follow Neferet everywhere, clasped its tentacles around my neck. I tried to call the elements to fight it off, but it not only seemed to be strangling me, it was also draining away my strength. I looked around wildly trying to find Stark, and when my eyes locked with his I begged him to get away with the others, who were doing there best to fight Kalona's raven mockers, but the battle had been going on too long and they were obviously growing tired. But of course he didn't listen to me, instead he gave me that cocky grin that I adored, and charged towards Neferet with the sword Seoras had given him. I tried to scream for him to stop, but the the words got stuck in my throat as Darkness tightened its hold on me. I watched as shock filled me, when Stark plunged the sword into Neferets back temporarily shocking her, causing the Darkness to disappear. While I was gasping for air, I saw Neferet's shock morph into fury.
"How dare you!" She said, and what I saw next is something that I will never forget. Daggers of darkness seemed to shoot from Neferet's hands straight at my guardian.
"Stark!" I managed to yell, my voice filled to the brim with pure raw pain. But it was too late, the daggers had already hit him, the largest one piercing his heart. He blinked a few times, as if trying to figure out what just happened, then he looked straight at me and mouthed something I couldn't understand and with a sickening thud his lifeless body hit the ground. My body instantly filled with rage, and with my voice augmented with the power that suddenly filled me, I said in a deadly calm voice "Get out." I actually saw fear cross Neferet's face, but she quickly covered it with a sneer that Aphrodite would be jealous of.
"And why should I?" But instead of answering her I used my fury to launch a ball made of all five of my elements to hurl Neferet a good 15 feet before she slammed into a nearby tree. I admit it would have been totally cool, if it weren't the extenuating circumstances. "Now, I'm going to say this again. Get. Out." I said seething. She gave me one last look and left reluctantly. I then ran over to Stark's lifeless body, and with my rage slowly seeping out of me, I was left with nothing but pain and sadness. It must have been hours that I sat there crying over his body, while my friends tried to comfort me. Now my guardian and my childhood boyfriend were both dead, so can you really blame me for shunning Nyx. How could she have let this happen again, as if I hadn't already dealt with enough crap. It's a miracle my life didn't shatter for good this time. I had always stood faithfully by her side, and how did she repay me, by filling my life with more and more heartache. Now don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean I've joined Darkness, I'm still in league with Light, just not the so called good goddess who let both of the loves of my life die.
Sorry to all the Stark lovers out there and I know there are a lot :) hopefully this won't make you want to stop reading it, but don't worry I still have something in store for him! anyways tell me what you think so far, I know there are some awkward parts in it but thats b/c I'm still learning, hopefully I'll get better as the story progresses!
