"Hey Zoey," Stark said followed by his dog, Duchess. Stark is the second fully changed red-vampyre ever.
I was in the kitchen making a sandwich. We just banished Neferet and Kalona a few days ago and I was still hungry!
"You shouldn't be out walking," I said, "Darius said you shouldn't move until you are fully healed."
"I'm fine," Stark said, "I just got hungry."
"You should really drink from me," I said, starting up that argument again.
"No," he said, upending a blood baggie and draining it.
"Yes," I said taking a step closer to him.
"You know I'm suddenly full, I think I'll go back to bed now. Come on Duchess." Stark said leaving the room. I sighed and finished the sandwich.
After I finished I left and went to Darius's room. I needed to ask a question.
He answered his door after the 3rd knock. I could see Aphrodite lying on his bed in the background.
"Yes, Priestess?" He asked after giving me the formal bow.
"I need to know. Will Stark ever heal fully without any of my blood?" I asked.
"He will never heal fully unless he drinks some of your blood, Priestess." He answered.
"Well then he is going to drink my blood whether he wants to or not," I said then leaned in closer to whisper my plan into Darius's ear. He agreed, bowed, and closed the door.
~~The Next Day~~ Stark's POV.
I walked into the dining room and sat with the 'nerd herd' as Aphrodite calls them. I took a bite of my sandwich and tried to join the conversation.
"I do not like pink!" Zoey argued with the rest of the group laughing. I blinked, that's a weird conversation to be having after everything that has happened to us.
"Why are we talking about colors?" I asked.
"No reason," Zoey answered.
"Hey Darius and Aphrodite are here," the Twins said in always perfect unison.
"Good," Zoey said then raised her voice to call to them, "Hey guys, now!"
Darius nodded and pulled me out of my chair and pinned my arms behind my back. I struggled against him, but I couldn't break free. I still felt so weak. I had to stop struggling soon before I made myself sick.
"What's going on," I asked, wanting to lie down.
"You're going to feel better," Zoey said and scratched her nail down her wrist. Blood dripped down and I couldn't tear my eyes away from it. I could feel my fangs slide out. (Yes Red Vampyres have fangs.) She lifted her wrist to my mouth and I couldn't help myself. I bit down and she flinched, then she stepped closer. I gulped her blood and even though she was Imprinted it was like fire and electricity going through my body. Her Imprint with Heath did not break, but I felt myself getting stronger. I didn't want to stop, but I knew that if I didn't I wouldn't stop until she was completely drained. I reluctantly pulled away and my fangs retracted. Darius let me go and I wiped the blood from my face.
"How do you feel?" she asked.
"I feel better," I said, "Thank you." It was true I felt back to my usual strength and was happy that I could finally be the best Warrior Zoey would ever have.
"Good," she said.
I smiled, accepting that whatever happened I would be there with her. The High Priestess and her Warrior.
That's the end! I hope you enjoyed it!
