Disclaimer: I do not own the HoN… Please review! By the way this is in Stark's POV… at least the first chapter is! This is what I think should have happened after Zoey threw her spirit at Kalona! Also Stevie Rae is here and not wherever she was in the book :p!
Chapter One
"ZOEY!" I sobbed ruining Zoey's shirt, but what does it matter now, it is really only Zoey's empty shell. Heath lay limp a mere three inches from her. No one could help Z now, she threw her whole self into that blow. Now she has no marks and is hopefully somewhere serene and peaceful. I was praying to Nyx and after what seemed like hours (but was actually only 3 minutes) she was gracefully walking towards me and Z. Suddenly I wished Zoey was still here, she would have known what to do. She would have formed her circle or something, only she can't because her affinity was thrown at a greatly despised fallen angel, Kalona.
"Stark? Why are you not at peace if you know she is with her consort? If you know she would would want you to live the rest of your long life knowing it wasn't your fault and that she loves you?" the Goddess asks with that nice face scrunched with concern.
"Do you think that, maybe, you could show her to me just once more?" Stark asked ready to plead if needed.
"No, she will come back to her body in exactly 3 days 7hours 24 minutes and 11 seconds...IF, if you can find Kalona or Neferet to help. Neferet is more powerful than I thought. Hopefully you can get one of them and pay the price. Meanwhile you should bring her to a place where she will be comfortable. She will, in time, slowly gain her affinity back and hopefully be back to normal and her broken leg and fingers will heal quickly with her grandmothers help and love." The Goddess then disappeared as quickly as sheappeared. Which left me to break the news to the group myself. So I heaved Zoey up the stairs to room 108 and pounded on the door till' Jack, still sobbing, opened it. I quickly set Zoey on the couch and looked at the heartbroken people who sat in a circle, which I was standing in the middle of.
"Guys we can get her back!" I say grinning. As everyone stares at me confused. Jack broke the silence.
"How? When? Wait, What?" he asked me as everyone else grins.
"Well, Nyx said something about a few days and hours and finding Kalona or Neferet to help. It'll be easy if we all stick together.
"You are startin' to sound like someone from some book... BLAH BLAH BLAH! Happily Ever After doesn't happen Stark! Zoey won't come back unless we find Neferet to help in a few days and a few hours," Shaunee says sniffling through it.
"Yeah!" says Erin, also starting her sniffling again.
"The Twins have a point," Damien agrees, "there is a time limit as you mentioned and we have no clue as to where Neferet is! How will we find her? What if she knows we're looking for her?"
"Well... I hadn't really thought this through but we'll figure it out!" I reply. We sat in silence and thought till' Damien spoke.
"We could use our element circle," he said.
"How Z always was spirit..." Shaunee replies. "NO... N-O NO! Stark you'll be zapped! Damien how could you put Stark in danger like that?" Shaunee practically screams.
"Shaunee calm down," I sooth her, "If Nyx is talking to me then why couldn't she have temporarily given me her power?" I ask reasonably. We find ourselves in deep thought again, Shaunee trying to figure out how to stop me from doing this and I'm trying to figure out how to go through with this. "Alright lets just see if we can and if we can't then we are probably never going to find..." HER, ZOEY, Z, ZO, HIGH PRIESTESS. It didn't matter where Zoey was or is. We are going to find her and Kalona and Neferet! "Stevie Rae? You can come out from the corner now if I'm not burning you won't either plus the sun is not up yet, please go to your space in the circle. Damien, Erin, and Shaunee you also should redeem your spots." I stood in the middle of a circle filled with my friends and the Elements and I knew that I would not be zapped, that Nyx would hear me out and help a little. I took three breaths and started "To this circle I call Ai-"
"Wait!" Stevie Rae shouted and ran to the bathroom followed by Erin and Shaunee.
"Stevie your WHAT?" yelled Shaunee.
