Ok this is going 2 be along AN, and I hate long AN's so here goes. 1st off to those fanz of my story Rephaim-Fanatics Ill still write that one. Right now Im stuck trying 2 word Mike's court hearing. (It's not going to be fair I can tell you that one.) I just wanted to write this one 'cause for a couple reasons. #1 im used to hving multiple projects at once and only working on just that one was starting to drive me insane. So yeah, and this idea as been buzzing around in my mind for a while now so finally said, "ok lets write this." WARNING: THE FIRST CHAPTER IS SUGGESTIVE, RATED T FOR SEX AND PASSION, DO NOT HAVE UR LITTLE BROTHERS/SISTERS READ THIS OVER UR SHOULDER! I didn't make it so bad that it burns people but I didn't brush over it either. The 1st chapter is the most suggestive of them, trust me. It's 'bout Stevie Rae being pregnant, NOT, their sex lives. Oh and btw if uve ever read Breaking Dawn from twilight. (I hate that series but its the closest thing i could relate it to.) Her pregnancy is kind of like that. Horrible, but at the end the child is a frickin' angel and everyone luves said child. Takes place at the end of Burned and on. But u know how Awakened takes place in the spane of a week, maybe a little longer? Completly throw that out the window, this takes place in the spane of months and months. So again, forgive me for the suggestive parts, I tried to make it as painless as possible. Oh and if u think it sucks and I made Stevie Rae look like a complete ho, just let me know I'll scrap it or change up the chapter a bit. Ok so ya'll know the drill, R&R. Ok ill leave you alone now. Because ya'll are probably tired of me talking and frankly the bold print is starting to hurt my eyes.

Son of the Beast

Chapter I:

Stevie Rae's POV:

I stirred restlessly reaching for him. My fingers found his feathery softness and I smiled. It was the day/night after Dallas had ran off. And Rephaim had decided to sleep with me, that way to better keep me safe. That was one of the things I liked about him, he did everything he could to keep me safe; because he cared.

He cared about me. That used to creep me out ya know. Because it wasn't right to like that a beast cared about you. But now I loved it, I loved him. At first I tried to tell myself it was that dang black bull. I owed him a debt for saving Rephaim's life. And in payment for that debt he zapped me with some kind of Light crap and made me see Rephaim differently.

But no it wasn't that. It was him. His goodness, his strength, the straggle within him, and that teeny spark of humanity that it seemed I was the only one that could see. And he was just so beautiful that it almost hurt. Some might say that he was hideous, gross and monstrous. But not me, I found his beauty divine. Every time I saw him I smiled and I couldn't help but think that I was in the presence of a god. Knowing that no mere mortal could compare with him, I didn't see him as a monster. I saw him as a man, a strange man with a bird beak; but a man all the same.

My eyes opened and I looked down at my consort, my Rephaim. Yes, he was mine. And I was his. My fingers slid down the length of his thick, muscular arm. He trembled slightly and his breathing deepened but he didn't awaken. My breath caught and I found my hands moving along the entire length of him. Sliding down his forearm stopping at his hand, I flipped it over and traced the lines in his palm; wanting to memorize every part of him.

Then I moved back up; tracing his neck, pausing when I felt his pulse beating there. That blood flowed through both of us, joined forever by imprint, tying us together as one. When I first tasted Rephaim's blood it smelled nasty. It had smelled wrong, wrong, and wrong. But now it smelled really good, delicious really. Well it should be, imprinted to smell good to me, imprinted to make me want to taste more of it.

I sighed and leaned forward. I knew that he could never kiss me. It was impossible, he had a frickin' beak for crying out loud, but maybe I could kiss him. I leaned forward and let my lips graze his shoulder blade a bit. He stirred restlessly and murmured my name. I smiled and kissed him again. This time letting the kiss trail along his collar bone, his eyelids fluttered as he tried to wake himself up, "Stevie Rae," he murmured.

I kissed his eyelids and breathed, "awake my Rephaim, awake and return to me." His eyes popped wide open at that and he looked up at me. "Good night Rephaim, how was your sleep," I chuckle softly. He shifted his weight uncomfortable and looked down at the spot I kissed.

"What are you doing Stevie Rae?" Now my smile turned into a full blown grin, still grinning I tucked my head underneath his head and rubbed mine against his neck; reminding Rephaim of a cat marking its territory. "Oh just this," I said kissing his throat. His breath left him in a whoosh. And his body trembled.

"C-c-can you d-d-d-do th-that again," he asked hesitantly. Seeming annoyed at the stutter in his voice. I nodded and kissed him again, and again and again. He moaned and rapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "Oh my Red One you do not know the power you hold over me." "Rephaim, I want you." I breathed he stared at me uncomprehending what I meant. "I am yours."

I sighed; it looks like I'll just have to show him what I meant. "Here, let me show you," I suggested. So he watched curiously as my hands moved to my shirt and I started to undo my buttons. I had the second button undone when his hands restrained mine. "Red One stop," he commanded his hands pinning my arms to my sides.

I pouted at him, "but I want you Rephaim, all of you." He growled in frustration. "Not like this, have me in any other way, but not like this." I reached for him. Letting my hand caress his cheek "why not?" He flinched under my hand and cried, "It's wrong." I looked at him for a long time and then said "Rephaim you're not your dad, you know that don't you?"

He gave a wordless cry and leaped to his feet and started passing. "I know that!" "Do you?" I asked, he nodded slowly, like he was underwater. "Good, then you know it's not rap if it's for love." He turned to face me with a strange look on his face. Man I wish I could read his expressions more easily.

"Stevie Rae, look at me!" he spread his arms out wide and opened his wings out as much as he could in such a limited space. It was so beautiful that all I could do was stare. "What do you see?" I got to my feet and slowly approached him; only to stop when he took a fast step away from me.

"I see a man who has been through too much pain and suffering than any man should go through. I see a guy who has seen things that no one should have to see. I see the man I love and the man who's save my bee hind more times than anyone else, ever. When I look at you I see what you are and what you could be. I look and do you know what I see? I see a beautiful creature of Darkness yet who holds a core of Light within him burning so bright and strong that it won't go out no matter what the Darkness does to choke it. I see you Rephaim, all of you, and I love you, ever part of you, and I want you, and I want you to have all of me. Please Rephaim, please?"

He stared at me wordlessly. But he didn't pull away when I pulled him back to me. I started to undue my buttons again and this time he didn't stop me. "For love," I told him, "it's ok if it's for love." He nodded wordlessly, making no motion except the rustle of his great wings. I reached for him, letting my fingers trail through the soft underside. "Beautiful," he jerked back and gasped, "don't say that." I shuck my head, "why not, and don't say it's wrong."He groaned, "it is, it is wrong, I am a beast Stevie Rae, a monster. These wings of mine, the things you call 'beautiful' are a mark of what I am. They are-"

I put my hand by his mouth/beak/whatever to silence him. "Sh, sh relax Rephaim and be at peace here in my arms. I know what you are, I know what you've done, and I don't care. You've changed; you might not be able to see it. Or maybe you just won't admit it, I don't know, but I see it Rephaim, I see what you are and what you could became and I love it all. Don't be afraid, just relax here with me and let your heart feel."

…

And with that we made love. The vampyre High Priestess and the Raven Mocker tied now more than ever before. I drank from him that night, making our imprint grow stronger than its already impossible strength. It wasn't until months later, after Z and Kalona came back and we had to separate ourselves again; that I realized that I was pregnant with his kid. Ah hell!

…

Ok, Im back, wat did ya'll think to much? ur not scared 4 life are u? Oh and u know the part when Rephaim askes her to look at him and tell him what she sees? Well really its how I picture Rephaim. Seriously if you came up to me randomly on the street and asked me what I see when I picture Rephaim. I wouldn't give you looks. We all know what he looks like, it maybe hard to picture him but we all know what he looks like. No i'd give you the answer Stevie Rae gave, just worded a bit differently. Alright I'm not going to bore you like I did before, w/ my ranting and seriously this bold lettering is killing my eyes. So I'm going to shut up now and let ya'll tell me what u think.

Bye, bye

R&R
