House Of Night Series

The Revised Ending to Hunted

Kalona looked to Neferet and saw her for who she was. He decided he couldn't have her on his team and killed her. Meanwhile Kalona killed Neferet, the High Priestness, and many other students at the House of Night, Zoey, Aphrodite, Erik, Damien, The twins, and Stevie Rae bolted toward the wall near the cafeteria to escape his scrutiny. Zoey couldn't help but think of her grandmother Grandma Redbird whom she loves very much during this war. She was deep in trance that she didn't realize that Kalona started to follow them. It wasn't until Erik her now on again boyfriend lifted her up and carried her through the gateway. She was startled and started a fit until he put her down. She turned and saw her worst enemy. Aphrodite her now friend has told her that he was a bad influence for her, but in the end she would have to be the one to defeat him. Zoey doesn't know how to do this. She looks toward her friends for support. Without them she doesn't think she would have made it this far. What she overlooks is that Nynx know her and that she chose her to save her school and preserve her legend.

As they made it out the gate Heath, Zoey's ex boyfriend shows up. "Heath what are you doing here?" she asks. "I came to see about you. I heard on the news that something bad is happening here tonight so I came to make sure everything was alright with you."

Zoey has a lot going on for her at the moment. She is struggling to accept her new role as high priestess and leader of the Dark Sister and Brothers. What puzzles her more is that she has been outlawed at the House of Night by Neferet her supposed High Priestess and mentor all because she was better than her. "Zoey can you and Heath pick this conversation up later Kalona has his sons after us and we have to move NOW!!!!" replied Erin one of the twins. At that point everyone began to run and Kalona's sons started to pick them off one by one. At first they picked the red fledging because they couldn't tell the difference, but then Kalona spoke to them and told them, "Get Zoey, bring her back to me. She is your mother and we have to get reunited again for the world to see."

Zoey knew something bad was going to happen so she called forth the five elements: water, air, fire, earth and spirit to back her up. When Damien, Erin, Shaunee, and Stevie Rae saw this they each channeled into their elements to protect the group from further inflation. Kalona's sons couldn't get anywhere near them. Kalona became very, very upset at this failed attempt and decided to wait until Zoey was asleep to get her. That is his punk way of handling the situation. Catching her while she sleeps, interrupting her dreams just to have his way with her. He comes very close but never close enough to her for her to actually make out with him. I'll get her this time around. Kalona silently thought to himself. I have to if I don't I've failed my sons again and I can't live with that. Shaunee noticed that the sons were backing off them. "Guys its working they are backing off!" she said all excited. Damien turned around to check and nearly broke the circle. "DAMIEN CONCENTRATE!" yelled Zoey. "If they notice one leak they can get us and take us all out. We have to be alert in case Kalona decides to follow us again. Nobody break this circle. We need all the protection we can get."

It's alittle after 12 am on Monday when everyone made it into the depot. Zoey is exhausted and scared. She doesn't know exactly how she would get everyone out later on that night after there rest to the animal shelter. It wasn't long after she sat down on her bed did she fall to sleep. Erik decided to stay with her that night but Heath just wasn't having it. "why do you get to sleep with her she is my girl?" he replied

"Heath get over it, she's not with you no more she is with me." The twins and Damien came running into the room when they heard the dispute over who should stay with Zoey. They decided to instigate the situation instead of helping. "Hey, what's going on here?" asked Zoey.

"Nothing baby, go back to sleep." said Erik. And back to sleep she went.
