Chapter 1

"Zoey, what's wrong?" Damien asked with a worried face.

The only thing I could think about was Stark. How was I going to tell Erik about my incident and how was I going to get Heath to stop loving me? But this cut across my chest hurts like crazy and burns like no other, so I didn't want to even think about that situation. It's just too much stress for me right now. I have Neferet being a pain in the you know what and Kalona, who won't stay out of my dreams! I did not need any Erik / Heath drama.

"ZOEY?" Aphrodite yelled, "Stop ignoring us and tell now before I knock your head into tomorrow."

I looked at them all around the lunch table. Erin was sitting by Shaunee (like always), Damien and Jack (figures), and then Aphrodite. "I'm sorry. I'm just a little spacing considering I haven't slept for three days. But all I need is sleep and I will be back to normal." I answered. "And don't give me that tomorrow stuff; you should know how I feel. It feels like a vampire sucking the life out of me."

"Stevie Rae and I have imprinted because, once again, I had to save her life. And it's all because of the stupid Stark kid, with his big bad boy attitude, had to shoot her. I was just trying to be nice." Aphrodite griped.

"Stark was being mind controlled by Neferet. I believe it wasn't his fault. Neferet was being manipulative and used Stark for his gift that Nyx had given him. So I think you should look at the oblivious before you even blame him for anything." I snapped back. "He died in my arms. I know who he is, or what he was. I know the real person inside."

Anger built up inside me. How dare she act like that. She doesn't know him. He is a bad boy, yeah, but he has lost his humanity. That has to be a horrible feeling, but since Stevie Rae had gotten hers back by fighting against the darkness, then I believe he can too.

"Zoey, honey, calm down. Nobody is saying that. Yeah Neferet is a pain in the butt and Kalona is not helping but we will get through this. Kalona will be sent back to the horrible place he came from. So maybe you should get some sleep and you should feel better afterwards. "Sweet little Jack said. I could hear the sadness in his voice.

"Yeah, I think I need Midol too. Otherwise I'm going to tear somebody apart before the day is over." I told them all. "Please don't disturb me. I won't be very happy."

I walked out of the lunch room and marched straight to my room. Nala greeted me at the door with her grumpy growl since she just woke up. I sat down and started to pet her while she purred in my ear. "Nala, what am I going to do? I feel like I'm not in control anymore."
