PrologueIts 15 years later and life seems so peaceful for Zoey. She has her loving warrior, Stark, and her best friend, Stevie Rae, just next door. Though where Zoey is concerned, there is always something just around the corner. Unfortunately for Zoey someone from the past (who she thought was long gone) is back. Her beloved Heath. Though its not her Heath anymore. His soul is owned by another. Not to mention Kalona's sons who want revenge for their father.
I breathed in the smell of spring and of my home. The smell of the lavender that Stark and my friends had planted for me filled the air. My life was so calm now that the world was safe. I walked through corridors that were alive with young fledglings as they rushed to class, everything was so normal. Well as normal as it gets for me, I thought as I walked into my classroom. All of them seemed to be extremely talkative today, gushing over some new guy, most likely.
'Class!' I yelled, attempting to get there attention to no avail. Knowing all to well they wouldn't listen I softly called wind to me and threw it at them. Shocked gasps and shrieks were soon silenced as I successfully called there attention to the front. Having my powers can be really useful I thought.
'Thank you' I said calmly as I thanked wind and said goodbye. 'Now that I have your attention I would like to begin our lesson. Please open your fledgling 101 books to page 51. Today we will be studying the effects and hazards of imprints. For those of you lucky enough to be in my history class we will be studying the battle with Kalona and going on an excursion to the red high priestesses house of night.' The rest of the lesson went on as normal as I explained about imprints. By the end of the lesson I was relaxed again and ready to take a calming break with my warrior. 'I want you all to continue your homework from last week and have it on my desk by tomorrow morning.' I was ready to dismiss the class that second when a hand shot up. I was shocked to realise I did not know this boy, though somehow he felt familiar.
' Yes…….?' I said still frustrated with myself for forgetting his name.
'Simon. Well….. I'm new here and have not been given that assignment' he said. I knew that voice. I couldn't seem to pin point it. Where had I seen him before? It was so frustrating. I looked into his dark blue kind eyes and suddenly I knew. As the world seemed to blacken and tip my own shaky voice managed to answer my own thoughts.
'Heath……………' I whispered and then I fainted.
I woke up in the arms of my warrior. Wow, he is really fast, I thought before I lifted myself up out of his arms. He looked troubled and kept asking if I was alright. I assured him I was and tried to calm myself down. I peered the classroom and was disappointed to find it empty. Was I going insane? I thought. Maybe I imagined it. Well Heath did say he would come back to me. Still how does that explain him being a fledgling? I mentally slapped myself as I recalled Nyx's conversation with me. Of course! She had said his reward is that he was now one of her own! Now I just had to figure out whether I hallucinated it.
'Zoey!' Stark yelled in my face. I pulled myself back into the present and looked into his concerned eyes.
'I'm fine, really', I said for the 5th time. I guess I would have to wait to see if it was true.
'You sure you don't want to rest?' he asked, still concerned. I thought about it for awhile. Well it was the end of my classes today and I do have the excursion tomorrow.
'Okay' I finally said as I started walking in the direction of our room.
