"Nala! Nala, come on, I don't have time for this." I frantically searched around my dorm room, looking for a thing that could never be replaced; it was priceless. My grandmother's lavender charm necklace, which I have magically seemed to have lost. And it doesn't surprise me. Nala was crowding around my legs, meowing like crazy, and I couldn't stand it.
"Nala!" I finally screeched, and she jumped up on the bed, letting out a 'humph' as she curled up into a black ball on her favorite blanket. I searched through the dresser, throwing all the clothes out onto the floor, and then someone knocked on the door. I sighed and stepped over the mess of t-shirts, bras, panties, sweatpants, and everything else scattered on the ground, and I looked through the peephole on the door, I smiled.
"Loren, hey." I couldn't help but blushed, it was fun when he came by, even though he wasn't supposed to visit me, or any student for that matter, he did on every other day, usually. He leaned down and kissed my cheek.
"Hello, my love." He said softly and I looked at him, then back at Nala, and she seemed to roll her eyes at me. She'd never liked Loren much, and I didn't know why. He was a great guy, one that I'd fallen hopelessly in love with, even if everyone else disapproved. I stepped aside and he walked in, chuckling as he looked around. "Well, you sure have a mess here, darling. What happened?"
"I was, um, just looking for a necklace I lost and I couldn't find it, I thought maybe emptying everything out would help me, but I failed." He walked throughout the room and peered into the closet. He bent over, and picked up a small chain, the tiny glass bottle filled with a shred of one of Grandma's lavender plants dangling from the end. He held it up toward me.
"Is this what you're looking for?" I nodded and graciously pecked his lips, smiling up at him, it was absolutely amazing how he found it, and I completely overlooked it.
"Yeah, it is. How did you find it?" I asked curiously, turning to look up at him.
"I think I just have good eyesight, Zo." He stepped behind me and I pushed my silky black hair to the front of my shoulders; Loren looped the necklace around my neck, and fastened it on the loosest latch, and positioned the tiny bottle to where it hung neatly above the top of my shirt. I spun around and wrapped my arms around his neck, biting the corner of my lip as I grinned at him.
"I think we have a little bit of time before the start of our classes." He being the Poet Laureate, and myself being a student; we both had classes to attend to. I was still chewing on my lip as he picked me up, but I soon burst into giggles.
"I think you're right." He pressed me up against the wall and kissed me with a fiery passion, his hands sliding below my waist and gripping my hips as he walked, carrying me, toward the bed, I could hear Nala jump up and snarl, but I couldn't care less. I was lost in whatever was going to happen between Loren and I, it'd happened once, and every day I couldn't help but trace the scar just below the left side of my collarbone, where I'd cut myself with my own fingernail; so he could drink from me.
I was lost in the memories, the kissing, and the passion; I didn't hear a thing when Stevie Rae came bursting in through the door.
"Zoey, you won't believe what just…" She stopped dead in her tracks and Loren quickly pulled away from me, standing up from the bed and backing into the corner, I could've swore Stevie Rae's jaw hit the floor, and she hadn't picked it up yet, I thought she was going to ramble about what she'd just seen, but she gripped the doorknob and jerked it shut, walking out. I rearranged my clothes and jumped up, looking at Loren.
Loren ran his hand through his blonde hair and glanced up at me, he was shuffling his feet, and I could tell he was embarrassed. Hell, I couldn't blame him; my best friend just walked in on us about to technically, 'get it on'; Stevie Rae seeing that was not on my lists of things to do today; Loren might've been, but still. My cheeks had to be bright red when I looked at him.
"I think I should go," he checked his watch and sighed softly, "classes will be starting in around ten minutes anyway, and Neferet will be looking for each professor at the staff meeting anyway." He walked over to me and leaned down, kissing my forehead. "I will see you tonight, little redbird."
I couldn't help but smile at the nickname, and he was right, he would see me tonight at the Dark Daughters meeting. Plus, I needed to get my dorm cleaned up, and he needed to get to the staff meeting. I smiled and put his hand over my heart, it covered the lavender charm, and I leaned up and kissed him.
"I'll see you tonight." Isaid softly and quietly, almost as if i didn't want him to hear me; but he nodded and slowly pulled away from me, waving before he closed the door to my dorm, I turned toward the mirror, grabbed my hairbrush, and amidst brushing my hair; I noticed something odd.
The lavender charm was glowing; with an odd gold aura around it. My eyes went wide and brushed my hand against the charm. I swallowed hard and muttered softly under my breath.
"Oh, hell."
