"Holy shit! Z, this isn't real. Another one?" Damien looked at me with a questioning look in his big, brown eyes.

"Yes, it's true. Her name is Katy Fally and she has a completely filled in Mark," I said, looking at all of my new-found friends. Erin and Shaunee looked at me with complete disbelief, until she walked into my dorm.

"Hey ya'll! What's up? I'm Zoey's new roommate!" her twang was almost as bad as Stevie Rae's was.

"Hi, uh, Katy, right?" she nodded eagerly, like if she didn't she would be zapped by some mysterious force, but you never know here at the House of Night. "Hi, I'm Zoey Redbird. So, um, I'll see you guys later?" I quickly looked at the Twins, then Damien and finally Jack and Duchess. Duchess was a dog that had once belonged to Stark, but he died, then un-died and now is a monster. He and I shared a kiss the night he died in the field house.

"Yeah, Z. See ya soon!" Jack called as he pulled his boyfriend, Damien out of the room. I don't want to know what he was so exited about, but I assumed it was about the dog.

"I still can't believe that I'm rooming with Zoey Redbird!" she sounded like she was going to explode. Katy was pretty. Really pretty. She was small, blonde and had small (blue?) highlights. I looked into her ice blue eyes and saw that she had a secret and a big one at that.

"Yeah, well it's not that great. I'm a magnet to trouble. First of all, Neferet, she seems really nice, right?" I needed to tell her that Neferet was bad news. Really bad news. "She is evil. I really mean it. I should know. my grandma is an old Cherokee and she knows the answers to everything." My grandma really did know just about everything, but she was in a coma in St. John's hospital. "I'm pretty sure that Neferet is Queen Tsi Sgili and that's not good," I didn't know how much I could tell her, so I stopped there.

"Get the hell away from me, Stark! I don't want you to suck my blood!" Aphrodite yelled as she slammed the door in Stark's face. "Goddess! If that kid wasn't already dead, I'd kill him."

"Katy, this is Aphrodite. She's," I got the sarning feeling in my gut. The bells always go off when I shouldn't tell someone a big, important, big secret. "She's a friend of mine."

"Stop talking about it like it's a bad thing. I'm not that bad. Shit!"she looked in the mirror above my bed and saw that her imagionary Mark was rubbing off.

"What's with your Mark? Who's Stark? Why do I hear a cat meowing? Am I being abnoxious?"

"Yes, you are," Aphrodite said, sounding rather bitchier than usual, if bitchier is a word. "There are cat's everywhere, I put concealer over my Mark then drew it on again, and Stark is, uh, Stark is," she looked at me for help.

"Stark is Aphrodite's ex. And the blood sucking thing was just another way of saying, well, you know," I quickly lied, feeling the blood rush to my cheeks, "So, do you like the room?"

"Yeah! It's great! God that'sembarassing!"

"It's okay. It's kinda freaky how parents know exactly how to make you want to curl up in ahole and die."

"It could happen you know," Aphrodite said cheerfully.

"Not helping. Hey, its time for the ritual. Ready?"

"Yeah, but what do we do with her?" she nodded to Katy, who, I could tell, was really hurt. Goddess she was a bitch! I told Katy where to go to get to the dining hall, then Aphrodite and I left for the Dark Daughters meeting. She had recently joined the prefect council, but Neferet wasn't happy about it. She wasn't happy about a lot of stuff. Actually, she didn't like anything but a mysterious fallen angel named Kalona.

When we got outside and made sure that Katy was safley in the dining hall and away from all the Raven Mockers, we went to the Rec Hall. Then, as it always does when I'm the only fledging/ vamp there, all hell broke loose.
