Rephaim has just been zapped into being a real guy and it's him fitting in and in his point of view when he goes to the house of night. Mostly different to P.C and Kirsten casts Destined. Summary sucks but give it whirl anyway (:
Rephaim POV
It had been a few day since the goddess had zapped him into a human and he was still ecstatic, as soon as the sun set and he transformed back into a regular boy he loved nothing more than to greet Stevie Rae with a kiss. It all still seemed like one of his dreams that he used to have. Especially the kissing part. The others were slowly getting used to him. He knew it would be hard for them because they all knew about his evil past and murder is hard to forgive but he was getting there.
"Oi, birdboy, can you throw me a brown pop" Aphrodite asked him from the other side of the room. Birdboy was his new nickname. It was much easier than Rephaim and birdboy was accurate so he didn't mind, in fact it kind of made him feel normal because most normal human teenage boys had nicknames. He retrieved a brown pop from the fridge and gave it to her. "Cheers"
"Hey Aphrodite don't go drinking all the brown pop in the house, well tunnels." Zoey said as she came into the kitchen like area. She smiled at him and sat down on one of the mismatched chairs.
"Oh, I'm sorry" Aphrodite said sarcastically "I don't see your name on it anywhere" he looked over at Zoey and she just rolled her eyes. Just then Stevie Rae came into the room. She came right over to him and gave him a long, slow kiss. His heart beat fast from happiness. She truly showed him love for the first time and he couldn't thank her enough.
"Eugh" their kiss was interrupted by Shaunee "ugh seriously."
"Displays of affection should be banned from the kitchen area" chimed in Erin. He was still getting the used to who each of them were. Especially who the group said were the twins, they were nothing alike in looks but their minds were twin like.
"It just reminds us of how single we really are" Shaunee said getting a drink.
"I feel sorry for the unlucky lads that try to date the two of you" Aphrodite said leaning into Darius as he put his arm around her. The twins opened their mouths to protest but Zoey got there first.
"Ok, guys more important things than arguing, we should call a tunnel meeting"
Everyone had gathered in the main tunnel room. It was surprising how many of them there were. All the red fledglings, Stevie Rae and him. Zoey and the rest of her group. The two warriors and Aphrodite.
"Right" Zoey said "we need to decide about going back to school. We all know we have to go back but it's going to be difficult. Neferet is totally evil and is revelling in darkness and the whole school thinks we are the evil ones" Rephaim knew that even though the goddess had forgiven him in front of the whole school, Neferet had somehow twisted it. He had caused a split in the house of night when Stevie Rae and her friends had stood by him.
"Yup" Stevie Rae said "Neferet, as you would say, is full of complete and utter bull poopie. I honestly don't know how no-one can see through her lies."
"Well birdboy hasn't made things easy, you know I don't want to sound mean or anything but I'm just saying it how it is" Aphrodite said,
"It is true" he said "By standing by me you have made things difficult. Many will want me dead" He looked down.
"Yes but your now our friend and that makes you pretty much untouchable." Zoey said. Rephaim's heart swelled at the word friend. They classed him as a friend even though they knew what he had done in the past.
"I will burn up anyone who tries to kill you" Shaunee said to him.
"Yeah and I will pummel them with water" Erin chimed in.
"Guys seriously no burning or pummelling, try to resolve things without violence" Zoey said frowning.
"What if someone came at him with like this huge sword" Erin said
"And was going to stab him and there was no time to resolve it without violence and-"Shaunee started to say but Zoey cut her off.
"Fine then you can burn and pummel, but only in the direst circumstances, we don't want everyone to think that we are crazier than they already do. And when we go back Neferet will try to turn things against us so everyone better stick together as much as possible. Probably best no one without an element or something protectful go anywhere alone."
"Protectful, seriously Z is that even a word" Stevie Rae said laughing.
"Probably not but I think everyone gets what I mean" there were a chorus of yesses around the room.
"Neferet wouldn't try anything too drastic in front of everyone" The boy named Damien said. "She might try something but not outright murder" Damien didn't talk much since Neferet had killed his soul mate Jack to repay her debt to darkness.
"I hope your right, but I wouldn't count on it" Darius said as he wrapped his arm more tightly around Aphrodite.
"Errr guys I think this is the right time to tell you I wrote another poem" Karishma butted in.
"Oh great" Stevie Rae said taking my hand. "Another poem, please say this one isn't about impending doom."
"When are they not about world impending doom" Karishma replied taking a crumpled piece of paper out of her pocket.
"Read it out" Damien said.
Looking out at the sea of impending doom.
Evil is the truth we all assume
She is unable to escape the past.
She begins a long walk at last
She is unable to see tomorrow.
At this your brow may Furrow.
This is your greatest advantage,
But can also cause the greatest damage,
All shall be revealed under the full moon.
The world will wait till the evils through.
Full moon now or in months to go.
I shall await the banishment of evil with my heart aglow.
"Well great" Zoey said "What the hell does that mean"
"Well I think that's easy to decipher" said Damien and everyone just stared at him. "Oh goddess" he said as he took the poem from Aphrodite. "Well the "she" part obviously means Neferet. If we just assume the first part is telling us how dangerous this is gonna be. Then the "She is unable to escape the past. She begins a long walk at last" Means that Neferet will not be able to get away from what she has done in the past, maybe that when people come to their senses they will realize she is pure evil and stuff like that."
"I think the next part about her unable to see tomorrow means even she cannot see the future no matter how powerful she is." he said and the others nodded.
"Oh and the advantage and damage bit means, this could go really well for us or really badly and cause damage" Stevie Rae said thoughtfully.
"The last bit, I think, means the final show down will happen underneath a full moon" Stark said "but it doesn't necessarily mean this full moon, it could be in months to come."
"Yes" Zoey said "and the last line must mean that Nyx is waiting for us to succeed"
"Yup, that sound right to me" one of the other red fledglings said, his name was Johnny B.
"Wow your right that was easy" Zoey said. "Now how the hell do we fight Neferet if she is meant to be immortal right now?"
Thanks to anyone who did read this. Please review (: I know its not great but tuff.
I don't own house of night or any of its characters but I do own the poem. And I know the poem is bad. I cannot write poems but again tuff. I did try to find an impending doom poem online but nothing so.
Anyway cheers (:
