Chapter One
Zoey POV
After travelling at just under 90 miles an hour, nonstop for just under two days, the welcome procession still wasn't ready; but then again, will it ever? Everything here reeks of death and a trail of destruction is around almost every bend.
I should have been here. I know I needed to leave, that I was 'untrustworthy' but if I hadn't have left maybe Jack would have lived. Maybe the look of death wouldn't haunt this building and maybe we would have been able to carry on, but now we can down two players in a never ending battle and life will never be the same.
We had only just begun grieving for Grandma and now we have Jack down as well.
I looked up from my position on the floor to see Darius standing above me, a look of worry, stress and grief painted on his already exhausted face.
"My Lady, are you alright?" He asked as he helped me back to my feet.
"Yes Darius, I'm fine," I answered distantly, hearing small sobbing noises from inside the castle. "Who is-?"
"It is Damien. He hasn't left Jack's side in the two days it took you to arrive and every Vamp or Fledgling in the area can hear his tears," He asked, the pain in his eyes intensifying.
"I'm so sorry, Darius. It's my fault, I know!" I said as I began to walk towards the sound of heart wrenching sobs.
"Zoey, it is far from your fault. You needed to sort yourself out before you could even think of helping anybody else. You were unstable and you were becoming a-"
"- Becoming what Darius?! A hazard? A nuisance? Or was I just in the way of the grand scheme of things?" I shouted, allowing all my pain and all the stress I'd kept hidden flow through me. "Please, make everyone aware I've returned and that I will be with Damien. That is all," I ended, dismissing him.
Never once had I spoken to anybody like this; never once had I taken control and spoken to someone as though they were inferior to me but before I could apologise he had nodded his head and took off in the opposite direction.
I took off in a sprint towards where I hoped Damien was and looked through the crack in the door. Damien was hunched over a motionless Jack, his arms around his waist, crying into his chest. Everybody takes grief differently and were as I kept myself apart from everything and distanced myself, it seemed Damien just didn't want to let go. He was too wrapped up in grief, he didn't realise I had walked in.
"Damien..." I started, bringing him back to me and making him aware of my presence.
He looked up at me before whimpering my name and hurling himself into my arms. I sank to the floor with him in my arms before curling him onto my knee, mumbling small words of comfort to him.
