Zoey
"Zoey are you ok? " I could hear a voice whispering but it sounded so far away slowly bit by bit the voice got closer and closer until finally it was right beside my ear.
"Heath?"I said my voice trembling with unshed tears what was heath doing hear where was I so many questions rushing thru my head until it all came back to me "oh my god heath he killed you why would he do that "I cried I had not only continuously risked his life but I had gotten him killed what was I going to tell his parents I thought.
Almost as if he could see right into my soul and read my mind he whispered "it's not your fault zoey its Kalona's he killed me all by himself with no help from you"
"What do you mean not my the one that got you mixed up in this vamp business and Kalona? I cried realizing the truth of my reality I had gotten my human boy friend killed god knows what happen to my warrior stark and not only that I was trapped in another world .
Nyx I really need you right now I whispered from out of the spiritual realm
Kalona
"my A-ya " Kalona cried out into the dark he had lost her due to his own sins he hadn't meant to but the human boy would have told her what he heard not understanding he would have ruined everything
"Lover is that you? "Neferet called out as he turned around he saw her in a red silk robe but she was overshadowed by the black dark aura that could identify her with what she really was the queen tsi sigli she was a third of a half part in a prophecy she was queen as long as he was how he was fallen he was so tired of the sons of mans and their prophecies soon he would be rid of them because he would make them pay for their treachery they had took away his one true love and like a fool he think he just destroyed her .
"Yes my love it is me ready yourself I shall be in shortly for the one called zoey is no more " Kalona whispered as he uttered the words apart of his heart dropped she had come back to him but in a moment she was gone again .the fates were really cruel .
Stark
"Zoey how could I have failed you?"stark cried from the depths of his hear "I failed you when you needed me most I failed you as a guardian " stark cried normally he wouldn't cry in front of so many people but right now he didn't care behind him he could hear everyone crying
"We are moving the bodies from out into the open into the church we will keep heaths body till zoey decides what to do with it and she will "darius said so confidently I almost believed him but as I saw her on the ground unmoving I hardly believed it.
As we moved her body and heaths into the church that seemed to already have been prepared for them the two tables decorated with blue and black fabric we laid heath and zoey side by side
"Nyx help me figure out a way to bring zoey back" Aphrodite cried out knowing her attempts were futile "nyx don't leave me now" she cried suddenly she started screaming
Within a second darius was by her side "is this a vision "she barely nodded her head in response "someone get me a pen "she whispered ercies grabbed a pen and paper Aphrodite scribbled away while the rest of us were still in suspense when she was done her eyes seemed to shimmer gold and tears where running down her face in complete contrast to her tears she had a huge smile on her face
"What is it love are you still in the vision?" darius asked obviously worried
"nope" she answered her smile getting brighter "I think nyx just gave me a way to bring zoey back
Stevie Rae
As she walked thru the trees past the Gilcrease museum to the supposedly haunted house was as of now the only other person there was rephaim the object of her imprint "rephaim? Stevie Rae called out "are you here "she said after stepping thru and locking the door inside the old mansion really looked haunted
"I'm in here" a voice said from the other room as she walked into the dark room that only a small light lit up she saw rephaim sitting around the table just starring at the window where a small raven stood on the window sill their movement seemed so similar if it wasn't for his weird look and large beak he would be good looking she imagined but for a raven mocker he was pretty perfect this was the second time in the last 8 hours she was here first she came just to check out the place and see what he'd need now they just needed to make the place more homey she'd already had the supplies .
"you were really serious "rephaim said slightly turning not enough to frighten the small bird "you may come but walk slowly "he said obviously feeling thru the imprint how awkward I felt standing at the door thru the last couple of hours since we had been imprinted the bond grew stronger we were more aware of each others feeling and do o feeding from right before I left my burns were almost completely gone slowly I walked over and sat beside him it was quite chilly I was shivering but trying to hide it which was hard to do since he smiled at me thru the bond and pulled me close to him my imprint with rephaim was far deeper than the one with Aphrodite I could sense him and what he was feeling instantly while I felt his warm skin against me and smelled his unique smell I laughed he looked at me then smiled and we both sat there smiling in silence looking at the small raven who in turn stared back .
Aphrodite
"Ok are you sure this is going to work "stark asked he was starting to get on my nerves ok he was concerned about zoey but did he have to be such a pain in the ass
"Listen up arrows if you don't shut up I'm going to flip just shut up and let me work I got this from nyx ok?" Aphrodite yelled as she turned around to make sure everything was in the right place all the candles where lit all the incense in the right places the sage was lit ok the "is the nerd heard where I put them"
"Yes" everyone answered rudely
'No need for attitude gosh ok repeat after me the dark of the night shall set you free but the sun will set you free and ensnare you in freedom of the one released"
"Where did you get that a cracker jacks box" Damien said
"Hey don't blame me blame Nyx I got it from her" Aphrodite said annoyed "ok repeat"
"the dark of the night shall set you free but the sun will set you free and ensnare you in freedom of the one released "they said in unison over and over again zoeys body raised up from the red and gold fabric she laid on everyone ran to her then she touched heath and he too sat up stark was the first to reach them her eyes opened then rolled back into her head
"Kalona my love come back "zoey whispered her voice barely audible before both she and heath dropped down back on the cold slabs
"What the fuck was that?"Stark yelled "that was your fucking smart idea we spent 2 hours preparing for
"Hey don't blame me I got the vision how was I supposed to know whether it would work or not Aphrodite screeched "I'm tired of you yelling at me you fucking figure it out obviously it was working god you know I'm tired of being here"
Maybe we should go take some time to ourselves" darius said then escorted her out of the chapel back to the hotel room as soon as he shut the door he turned around hugged her "you can let it out now"
And I did I cried I had just lost my best friend and the one chance I had to bring her back went down the drain
Zoey
"do you think I'm dead "I asked lifting my head off his chest
"No your not I don't know why you're here or how you got here but it is obviously for a reason "heath said so calmly I couldn't believe we were actually in the otherworld
"I can't believe your so cool with you dying" I said my heart was breaking talking to him about his own death
All of a sudden nyx appeared "zoey redbird what is it you are doing here why do you choose to stay?"
I don't know it just happened I lost my spirit and it ended up here?"Zoey said frankly
"Don't you here your friends calling for your souls "nyx said stooping before us "go to them while your souls have not completely gone to rest? heath I know you died but I can bring you back but things will not be the same you will be a different type of vampire a night flyer and will be able to live at night it is a hard life but a life and any life is better than death "nyx said smiling grimly
"Thank you goddess "heath said with tears shimmering in his eyes obviously thinking about what he had given up
"They will accept you this way rather than dead your parents love you "nyx said wiping away his tears "go back" she whispered and then everything started to fade
Kalona
"Who brought me here" Kalona shouted he had fallen asleep beside neferet and stepped into some twisted dream he was back at the place he had first met A-ya he had tried to leave but couldn't the memory of being here hurt too much
"why are you trying so hard to leave my love do you not wish to be here with me now" a voice he hadn't heard in thousands of years said from the trees he turned around expecting to see A-ya but turned to see zoey instead knowing that she would do something so cruel
"how dare you bring me here why would you do this to me "he yelled trying to leave "release me "
"my love it is me A-ya" she said pleadingly walking towards him
"you bitch let me leave "he said I need to get out of here then she did the craziest thing she grabbed his face and kissed him passionately
" I have waited thousands of years to that my love find me "she said
"look what the sons of man have done to us with their prophecies and destinies they damned us" Kalona said as he dropped to his knees crying
"Shh my love I did not suffer long and I have been reborn"A-ya said comforting him
"they accused me of rape for their inability to control their own lust they want me then curse me after we are done and the children they bore out of lust and hatred. They turned you to dust sucked out and trapped your spirit because you loved me and said it was dark magic ive been locked in a cave until queen tsi sigili freed me ."kalona cried out spilling out everything kept inside that only A-ya knows
"the queen is evil is that the path you have chosen my love "A-ya said her vice calm yet obviously worried
"I choose you my love every time but the sun of man must pay and the tsi sigli offers opportunity "he said frankly and truthfly
"but at what cost I am with you my love I am free come and find me and we shall decide what is next together I will be back for I am free "she said laughing then disappeared laughing
Zoey could not believe her eyes was this a vision of the past kalona looked the same except for looking at him with contempt there was no love he flew away then A-ya walked into me not bumped but into me what the hell was going on zoey didn't know but the side of Kalona she just saw was not what she was used to he was something more they were something more
Stark
I'm so sorry zoey "stark cried again
"Well if your this sorry now what's that saying ten years from now" zoey said looking at him smiling
'Help me get up" he helped her up the grabbed her into a tight hug "I love you "he said squeezing her
"Dude let go off of my girl dude just because I like you don't mean shit to me "heath said getting up
"Oh my god" stark said grabbing heath into a tight hug
"Dude let go of me "heath said shrugging him off "go gather the crew he said
"Ok "stark said running out
Zoey
Stark had ran to gather everyone while she and heath smiled at each other "where back" I said smiling we smiled hugging
Then I saw him Kalona a part of me wanted to kill him but another part of me needed to talk to him there was so much that needed to be said "heath can you go get me some water please ?"
"ok babes" he said running out the chapel glad to be alive I walked out to the balcony I didn't see anyone but I talked knowing he'd here " what happened tell me I heard you and A-ya talking what did the sons of man do to us" I felt his hand wrap around my waist and just hold me A-ya zoey my love I thought I had lost you but you came back to me both of you" then I turned and kissed him I didn't know who was in control me or A-ya but when we kissed no matter who started it we both wanted it
Stark
I had called everyone but they where behind me I ran ahead thank nyx she was back to me when I entered the chapel I didn't see her right away but I saw the balcony door open stepping softly so as to surprise her I tiptoed to the door only to see her making out with Kalona "zoey what the fuck?" I screamed only to see the entire gang behind me while they broke apart hot and heated
"Later my love" Kalona whispered kissed her then dove off the roof of the building as he flew away I could hear him laughing and she smiled "you've got to be kidding me "
"Lucy you've got some splanning to do "Aphrodite said shaking her finger
"Wow what was that" she said I expected some great explanation or amnesia that's all she had to say
