Forbidden: Immortal-Fledgling Love (House of Night Stand Alone)

I Do Not Own Any Of These Characters Except Katharine Jenkins

Kalona, Fallen Warrior, hated by everyone and loved by none, except for me which was forbidden, seeing as I was

just a fledgling, and the youngest out of my little group and he was a Fallen Warrior. Oh incase I didn't mention it

before my name is Shaunee Cole, and yes I am either going to turn into a Vampire or Die, I hope I turn into the first

instead of the second, I mean please, just please with all the dying shit. Kalona was arrogant, annoying, and a

complete jerk to everyone, just because he was an immortal who thought that he ruled over everyone and that

everyone had to follow his orders or he'd kill you. Well not me, I wasn't taking orders from anyone especially from

him. I mean don't get me wrong he was the hottest thing to walk this earth but his attitude was just, ewww, plain

and simple. He couldn't touch any of the fledglings or Vampyre females without their permission thanks to our

lovely High Priestess. He ignored pretty much everyone one after he had pledged himself as our Warrior but I could

see that it wasn't the title that he would actually take if he had the choice. I was running late getting back to the

dorms after Cole and I broke up, we both decided that it just wasn't working out and we would be better off as

friends. It felt good to be on the same page now but that didn't mean that it still didn't hurt. I wiped a stray tear

from my eye as I walked down the side-walk away from the boys dorms before I literally but into Kalona. "Oh, I'm

sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going," I said after he caught me from falling backwards. "You should be

careful and watch where you step young fledgling , What are you doing out here at this time of day, its past curfew

hours," He commented as he looked down into my eyes before I blushed lightly. "I was talking to my well, now ex

we needed to talk before he left for his plane tonight," I said looked down as I bit my bottom lip to keep from crying.

"Is everything alright, you were crying he didn't hurt you did he, because we don't tolerate that type of-" He started

as his eyes blaze with anger. "No, no he didn't, we just decided that we're better off friends," I explained quickly as

I looked up into his eyes before he nodded. "Well why were you crying, you young fledglings are very strange," He

commented before I glared at him. "I was crying because I care about him, and I don't want to hurt him, God, you

are such an asshole," I hissed and stalked away from him heading to the girl's dorms as he followed me. "Yes well

somethings can't be changed even if I change my path," He said and smiled at me. "Why are even talking to me?" I

muttered under my breath annoyed. "I do not know why, young fledgling, you intrigue me, I guess," He said and

shrugged his bare shoulders. "Intrigue you, how?" I questioned before he gave me a sexy smirk shaking his head

from side to side. "I'll let you figure that one out because I don't have an answer to your question," He said quietly

as we looked into each others eyes. I rolled my eyes and glared at him as we came to the girls dorms. "Don't you

own a shirt?" I snapped irritated that he was being so confusing. "I do not feel the need to wear such things, why

does my nakedness make you uncomfortable?" He asked and smiled as his eyes lit up in amusement. I sighed in

frustration and rolled my eyes before I turned and walked inside as he watched me.

That was the first encounter that I had with Kalona that week, and when I caught him watching me dance in

our dance studio everyday two weeks later, I just about flipped out. "That's it, you been creeping on me for the

past two weeks, what do you want?" I snapped as I spun around and glared at him. His eyes widened in shock as

we stared at each other before he spoke. "I did not me to 'creep' on you, I just saw you dancing one day, I didn't

mean to invade your privacy, but you are a very talented dancer," He said and smiled as I blushed. "Uh

thanks," I said embarrassed as I looked up at him before he nodded. "What are you doing over here anyway, don't

you have somewhere to be like guarding or something?" I asked annoyed that he was making me feel all nervous

and fidgety. "No not now, I've covered the school, on ground and in the air, we are safe," He said softly

as he watched me. "Okay and why are you hear?" I asked confused before he shrugged. I sighed irritated and

looked away from him as I looked into the mirror at myself. "Is that your gift, dancing, young fledgling?" Kalona

asked as he walked into the room and shut the door gently. I scoffed and shook my head before I smiled as I

looked into the mirror at myself. "No I just like to dance, my gift is this," I said and held out my hand before it lit up

on fire. "Ah, an affinity for fire," He said and smirked as he took slow steps towards me. I flicked my wrist at him an

specks of fire clung to him but they didn't hurt him, instead they became dark mist. I watched him through the mirror

as he stood behind me. "Do you know what my 'gift' is?" He asked as he looked into my eyes through the mirror.

"Let me guess arrogance?" I asked and smiled as we looked into each others eyes. "No, I can change my

appearance, harness darkness, and can never die because I am an immortal," He said as his eyes shined with

golden specks in them. "That doesn't sound very cool, actually it sounds boring," I said as my heart started to race

as he brushed my long black hair to my right shoulder. "It can be a bore at times, especially if you have no one to

share it with, watching everyone die is never easy no matter how evil you become," He commented softly as he

caressed my left shoulder gently. My body automatically started to warm up as we watched each other silently.

"You're not afraid of me," He commented softly and I shook my head no although he knew my answer as he

continued to caress my bare shoulder. "You let me touch you, of course I know that you're not afraid of me, quite

the opposite actually," He murmured quietly before he dropped his head down and kissed my shoulder gently. My

eyes widened in shock as my body responded to him, heating up even more. He moved his lips up from my shoulder

to my neck slowly as he trailed gentle kisses along the way. He moaned softly once he found my pulse and licked it.

I gasped in shock once he bit my neck gently before he pulled back. No, don't stop, I thought as I opened my eyes

and looked at him as he watched me. "Why Shaunee?" He questioned softly. "Why what I don't know what you

mean?" I said confused as he just stared at me waiting. "You know exactly what I mean," He said softly

against my skin as he pulled me closer towards his body. "I don't know, why do you?" I asked and shrugged as I

looked away from him. "I do not know, yet," He said before I turned around and looked up into his eyes with a

questioning look. "Yet, what's that suppose to mean?" I snapped and he smiled before he leaned into me. "You are

such a fiery young fledgling, your gift suits you well," He commented before he chuckled as I gasped, at how close

we were together. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards his body as his fingers moved

around in circles across my skin. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from moaning, and sighing irritated. Why did I

have to wear a little tank top that stopped just above my stomach, and leggings that were so thin I could feel every

muscle in his legs against mine, I thought. Because this is what you always wear when you dance, and please you

look hot, my mind argued back. Is he really going to kiss me, do I want him to? I thought as I looked up into his

eyes as he watched me. Before I had another thought he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine softly. He

kissed me gently and hesitantly at first but once I didn't pull away he pressed his lips against mine harder as he

pulled me closer, if that was even possible. I whimpered and pushed him away feeling like I was on fire. "Don't

touch me again," I hissed as I glared at him before I ran out of the dance studio with tears in my eyes. No, no, I

couldn't-I wouldn't become just another one of those girls who fell for him, I thought as I ran out of the hallway and

to my dorm.

I completely ignored him the next night when I saw him. He looked angry and hurt as he walked along the

perimeter of the school grounds. "What's his problem, did you hear him rip up that little freshman who was like a

minute late for class this morning?" Katharine Jenkins asked as we walked to lunch. "No, I-" I started before Kalona

interrupted me. "Aren't you suppose to be in the cafeteria?" He hissed as he stood in front of us and glared at me.

"We were on our way, you don't have to be such a jerk to everyone," I hissed as I glared at him before he snarled

at me and I took a couple of steps away from him as I started to head back to the dorms. "Is that what you do

when you don't want to admit that you might actually like something, you run away?" He snapped and I stopped

and glared at him as Katharine watched us shocked. "No and you're such a hypocrite, you get pissed off at

everyone just because you don't get what you want, news flash, the world does not revolve around you," I

snapped as my body started to heat up quickly as my anger rose. "Then why did you run away from me, I know you

aren't scared of me, or maybe you are, just like everyone else?" He asked as he stalked towards me as his eyes

shone pure gold."S-Shaunee?" Katharine asked frightened as she grabbed my arm and tried to tug me back but I

held still. "Leave," Kalona hissed as he glared at her and growled angrily. "It's okay, go eat, I'll meet you in there,

okay?" I said as I looked at her before she hesitated. I smiled at her before she nodded and walked towards the

cafeteria, looking back at us frequently until she walked inside the school. "Well?" Kalona questioned irritated as he

glared at me."Because I'm not going to be another number for you to claim like every other woman you've touched,"

I hissed as I glared at him before his eyes widened in shock. "Is that what you think I intend to make you, a

'number'?" He hissed and before I could respond he spoke again. "No, this ends now, whatever you heard and

have seen from my past is my past, I would never treat you like that," He hissed sounding suddenly outraged and I

did take a step away from him frightened. "Don't you ever think that you would just be a number to me, do you

understand?" He snapped as he took a step towards me. I nodded unable to speak as I looked into his eyes before

he took a deep breathe and closed his eyed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you," He said and opened his

eyes as he looked at me. "Whatever," I muttered and turned away from him as I headed to the cafeteria, before he

stopped me. "I really do apologize, Shaunee," He said sincerely as he grabbed my hand gently and pulled me to a

stop. "I just don't understand why you ran, are you afraid of me?" He asked softly as he looked down at me before

I shook my head no. "Are you afraid of what I might do to you because if so, I give you my Oath that I will

not hurt you," He swore as he looked deep into my eyes. "I doubt that, plus you're a Warrioryou are not suppose

to have any type of relations with a fledgling at all other than a friendship but not even that," I said as I looked up

into his eyes and shook my head. "I do not apply the Warrior rules Of Any House Of Night, I'm just here for extra

protection," He said and caressed my right cheek softly. "If you want we can discuss this with the High Priestess-"

He said before a throat was cleared. "Discuss what with me exactly?" Thanatos said and looked between both

Kalona and I. "I would like to pledge myself as Shaunee's Warrior, with your permission, High Priestess," Kalona

proclaimed and I gasped in shock as I looked up at him but he didn't look at me, he looked at Thanatos. "And what

has she said about that?" She asked as she looked from me to Kalona as he looked down at me. I looked at him for

a long minute as his wings fluttered restlessly under my intense gaze before I nodded. "I accept his Oath," I said as

I looked up at Thanatos. "Well why do you need my permission if she has accepted, I trust that you know by now

that I will not hinder in any of your affairs, be Fledgling, Vampyre, or Warrior, as long as no one is in danger or will

be a danger towards others," Thanatos said and smiled at both Kalona and I before she walked away. Kalona

smiled as he looked down at me before I hit him. "You could have asked me first instead of asking in front of her," I

hissed and he chuckled before he looked deep into my eyes. "Will you accept my Oath as your Warrior?" He asked

sincerely before he caressed my right hand gently. "Yes, but if you hurt me, I'll hurt you since I can't kill you," I said

and smiled sweetly at him as he chuckled before he tugged me closer by my hand and wrapped his arms around my

waist. "That will not happen," He vowed as he leaned down and kissed me softly. I reached up and wrapped my

arms around his neck as I kissed him back before we heard gasps. Kalona and I pulled back and saw Zoey, Stark,

Damien, Stevie Rae, Rephaim, Aphrodite, Darius, and Katharine all staring at us in shock. "May I help you?" Kalona

asked annoyed as everyone stared at us, unmoving. "W-We were looking for you when Kat told us that you had

ran into Kalona on the way to the cafeteria," Damien said and cleared his throat. "Yeah and when you didn't meet

us in the cafeteria, I got worried so I told them what happened and we came out here, but I can see that your

fine," Katharine said and smirked. "Yeah we all can see that she is more than fine, can we go now," Aphrodite

commented and flipped her hair back as she tugged on Darius' hand. "Uh yeah, well we'll see ya later, come on

guys," Zoey said and led everyone to the dorms as I blushed embarrassed. "Come, you have to eat before your

next class starts," Kalona said and grabbed my hand leading me in the opposite direction towards the Professors

and Warriors corridors. "I've never been in this area of the school before, yours is way cooler than ours," I said as I

looked around before he led me inside of his apartment. "What would you like?" He asked as he led me into his

kitchen. He opened his refrigerator and I looked at all the food he had as my eyes widened. "Jeez eat much," I

commented as I looked from shelf to shelf that was loaded with food. "Junk food," I said and sighed happily before I

grabbed a Coke and a salad. "Do you have any chips?" I asked as I looked back at Kalona as he watched me and

grabbed a bottle of water. "Yes, right here," He said and closed the refrigerator before he opened a cabinet and

showed me all the chips he had, which was a lot. "Who do you get to go grocery shopping for you?" I asked and he

chuckled. "Darius goes every two weeks," He commented and I nodded in appreciation. "I'll have to thank him, all

we eat is healthy food," I said and sat down on his couch as he followed behind me. I sat my food on the table in

front of us and began eating as he watched me silently. "Would you please stop with the creeping, aren't you going

to eat?" I asked and he smiled and shook his head no. "I already ate on my break," He said as he looked into my

eyes. "Uh huh, so they do give you breaks, what do you do when you're not being a Warrior?" I asked and opened

my Coke before I took a sip. "Nothing really, fly and sleep mostly," He said and shrugged his shoulders. "Can I see

your closet?" I asked suddenly and he looked at me confused before he nodded. "Sure," He said and stood up

offering me his hand. I took it and stood up before he laced his fingers with mine automatically as he led me to his

room. I looked around and saw a huge white bed that could fit four people in it, long opened windows that showed

the sky and a great view of the school, a huge flat screen, his bathroom, and finally his closet. I walked to it after I

let go of his hand and opened it before I looked through his clothes. Well pants and shorts really he only had about

10 white and black button up shirts. "So you do have shirts, just not regular everyday shirts," I commented and

raised my right eye-brow at him. "Yes, is that why you wanted to see my room, you could have just asked," He said

and laughed as he looked down at me. "You could have lied to me, I wanted to see for myself," I said and shrugged

before I closed his closet and walked out of his room. "I wouldn't lie to you unless it was necessary," He replied

back as he grabbed my hand. "When would it be necessary to ever lie to someone?" I asked as I looked up at him

before he shrugged. "I lied all of my life and when I changed my path it changed everything about me, but I am

telling you the truth so if I ever did have to lie to you, I would, but only if it were life or death situations, well not in

my case but others who are not immortal then that would apply to them, and about things that I can't tell you as a

Warrior but that's all that I will ever lie to you about and nothing else, I swear," He said and kissed me softly.
