Disclaimer: I DO/WILL NOT OWN/ INHERIT THE HOUSE OF NIGHT SERIES. It's very sad, really. If I did, you wouldn't be reading this.
Zoey POV
Zoey looked at her computer screen, why would Stevie Rae tell her to look up this song by Carrie Underwood? She sighed as she looked at the search results on Youtube. Cowboy Casanova, there it was. Zoey clicked it, then hit the play button. She told Zoey to think of Kalona as she watched this video. As Zoey watched she pondered.
***
You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
Huh, already It seemed to be about Kalona.
You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
She knew why, it was that bit of A-ya in her that did it.
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You get addicted to his love
Zoey thought of most all the girls at the house of night, all pining after Kalona.
You wanna get out but he's holding you down
'Cause you can't live without one more touch
It seemed to be about all the dreams Kalona had been in at this point in the song.
He's a good time Cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
So far, besides this line, it was all on the spot about him.
Looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy-coated misery
She started to squirm in her seat at this point, it was scarily accurate.
He's the devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
Zoey was sure that this was what her Cherokee ancestors thought about him… Minus the blue eyes part.
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
Zoey thought about most of the girls from the house of night again, but she included herself this time.
You better run for your life
She knew that running wouldn't help, but it did make her feel better…
I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
She knew that most other people wouldn't apply this to Kalona, but Stevie Ray was right in doing it.
So I'll say it again'Cause I know where you been
And I know how it ends
If only she knew.
You can't get away
Don't even look in his eyes
That's the mistake that most of the girls did wrong
He'll tell you nothing but lies
I'm sure that the student body isn't aware of that.
And you wanna believe
Sadly, I do, but I know I can't.
But you won't be deceived
I'm sorta already immune to him, but… Lets hear it… Options are good
If you listen to meAnd take my advice
I'm all ears, Carrie
Run run away
Don't let him mess with your mind
He wishes he could
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
He already does
He'll break your heartIt's just a matter of time
She squirmed again, it was, again, uncannily accurate
But just remember
When it comes to avoiding Kalona, I try hard not to forget,
Oh you better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life

Zoey looked at the computer screen. That video seemed to be made for Kalona, and happened to give sound advise. Zoey stared at the screen some more, then finally closed the screen after Nala jumped onto her lap.
The mystery of the video's accuracy could wait another day, but she had a jet to catch.
