With a School too Run
Hey, New chappie! :D
As I said in the last chappie, any ideas, comments or improvements are welcome. I haven't planned any of this and I don't intend too! :D
ENJOY! :D
Stevie Rae's POV
The light was dim, not much light filtered through the crimson canopy above. The duvet swamped me, seemingly feasting on my bare skin. What light there was shafted inbetween my slumbering partner and I like a separating strike of lightening. I pushed myself more into Rephaim, absorbing his body heat and moving the light so it sliced through my face. I squinted, holding my breath slightly.
Rephaim woke up, not needing the creepy connection with him too know, I knew, simply because his hands began tapping the beat of the alarm that normally went off on the side of my thigh, like my own wake up call,
"Good morning, oh mighty red one." He whispered chuckling, knowing that the nickname would get a well deserved kick in the shin. I turned slightly and kissed him quickly on the cheek, then slid from the bed dragging the crisp under sheet and wrapping it around myself like a towel. I walked to my dresser and rooted around in the draws for a clean bra and underwear. All I had moderately spot-less was a teal coloured bra and a thong. I wasn't happy with the choice but put them on and pulled a holey pair on jeans from my open draw which had a black strap top knotted on it. I quickly slid them on then looked in Rephaim's draw for an uncreased pair of shorts, which I threw at him hoping he'd put them on without argument.
I turned back to the bed and saw that Rephaim was leaning against the bed post watching me curiously. I smiled at him and walked over to sit on the bed next too him.
"What's wrong Stevie Rae?" he asked taking one of my hands. I took a deep breath knowing what I was going to say would come out in a long line with out me stopping,
"The twins have a problem with us, and I've known them longer than I have Z so I can't loose them. Jack and Damien are okay with it, but I know Damien hasn't said anything because he love's Jack too much and jack is okay with it, and I've known Damien longer than I have Z too. And I know you've given up so much so be with me and I feel bad, because I haven't given up much... Stark will be all macho man when ever you're around trying too protect Z, and Z is only fine with it, because she don't wanna loose me to a guy like she did with her mom. And supposing we get past the guys, we've got too face the whole school, in the beginning of term speech. Where I have too parade you around like some show horse too show everyone that your not as bad as your daddy, and hope to persuade them enough that they don't use all the affinities they have as a whole to whoop our asses too the next damn state." I took a deep breath and tried hard not too flop onto the bed and stay there for ever.
Rephaim sat next too me and pulled me onto his lap holding me close whispering soft words to me, as if I were a crying child. "If we want too be together," he whispered, "People will have too learn too accept it. If worst comes too worst I'll leave, and let you live here in peace." I looked at him shocked.
"Rephaim, honey, they'll have to accept it. I'm not being run out of town cos they cant except you. I'm sure if we asked Nyx, she'd agree sure as cheese on toast with me!" Rephaim let go of my legs, but I curled myself around his torso clinging too him like a lost kitten. He patted me gently and laughed,
"Sure as cheese on toast? I'll never get used too your funny sayings." We both laughed quickly and then just looked at each other, either of our eyes boring into the others. We broke apart when the bell rang signalling the start of the beginning of term speech. I reached up and hugged him round the neck holding him for as long as I could.
I let go quickly when he gasped and went slightly rigid. His eyes were transfixed over my shoulder. A white light began radiating from behind me making the dim room seem too bright. I turned around and gasped as well, stood in front of me was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen, her radiance was something I could never describe. The only thing that seemed to stay with me after she went was her eyes; they were a piercing blue and were framed with a fantastic blur of black lashes.
"Daughter?" she asked.
"Nyx?" I asked. And fell too my knees when she nodded.
"Why do you put words in my mouth? Why not ask me the answer to the question?" I looked at her quizzically, "You were just discussing with the bird-man here that you know I will accept him. How do you know that I do not wish to cast this monstrosity back to the otherworld where he came from?" I stood up and took Rephaim's hand, tugging him form the bed to stand with me at the bottom of the trio of steps that acted as a bridge between me and my goddess.
"I hope and believe you will accept him, because I know you can forgive past evil. You did it for me. And I have seen what is inside his heart; I have seen three scenes inside him, one was the evil that he was born with, one was a fight with the good and bad in him and the other was someone who was really sweet and sure as hell could be real nice if he tried. I gave him a choice and he chose his good heart and I believe that it is him now. I have seen his heart and it is mine." I quoted Harry Potter dorkily, and then looked at the floor.
"Nice Harry Potter analogy there daughter. Please come up too me I want too see you properly." I looked up just enough too smile at Rephaim and see my way up the stairs. I stopped in front of her my eyes at her feet. "Stevie Rae, I have asked too see you, please look at me." I looked up, "Do you really believe that he is truly and purely good?" she asked me.
"I believe his good side will keep the bad at bay. No one is really purely good. Not having badness in you makes you naive. I believe he will always choose love and light." I looked over my shoulder too smile at my 'consort.' He smiled back and then looked at Nyx who too had turned too look at Rephaim.
"Raven Mocker, come and join us please." She said smiling. As did I he kept his eyes too the floor and climbed the steps. I tried too feed him some of the love I felt radiate from the goddess but he was too trapped in his memories. "You call him Rephaim?" Nyx asked. I nodded, "Rephaim, honey, look at me. You're okay." I smiled reassuringly at him and reached for his hand squeezing it gently. He looked at Nyx liked a puppy.
"Rephaim, do you agree with everything my daughter has said?" he took a deep breathe in a answered,
"Yes I agree with her. Though I would like to add, that she is the only person too show me compassion in my centuries of life and for that I am the most grateful too her. Also, I will remain on the side of light until Stevie Rae tells me other wise, with all due respect goddess, I wish too choose my commander for my new life, and that command lies with my Stevie Rae. Finally, I do not expect too be unpunished for what I have done before, and I'm willing too except the punishment you decide too excerpt upon me. But do not hurt Stevie Rae for anything, please!" he finished his terms, and let out another long breathe, and squeezed my hand back. I looked at Nyx meekly hoping what Rephaim had said about only being commanded by me, hadn't offended her. She laughed,
"How about this son? I will except your terms and punish you this. One week a month you will be stripped of what you want and what you need. Three weeks a month you will have what you want and what you need. It will take a century for you too repay your debt too me and Stevie Rae will suffer as little as possible. That is my proposition, do you accept son?" she asked Rephaim looked at me then knelt down on one knee and said in a sombre voice,
"I accept your goddess' proposition and hope too for fill that conditions that come with it too the best of my capability." He bowed his head and crossed his hands over his chest. Nyx bent in front of him and whispered,
"I, Nyx, goddess of the light and high priestess of my child bound you, Rephaim, Son of Kalona the fallen immortal, too myself for a century forcing you to uphold the conditions of which you are bound. You may rise into your new life Rephaim, my new son." She smiled down on him as he stood up, beaming. "Goodbye my children, I hope with all my heart you have the greatest happiness." The light around her began too fade and fizzle and her form began too become transparent,
"Wait!" I need-"Rephaim shouted at the fading form.
"You have my blessing Son" she whispered, and disappeared with a pop. I looked around at Rephaim he was bent on one knee grinning.
"What?" I asked him.
"Stevie Rae, can you accept me as a son of your blessed mother Nyx to be your oath bound warrior and do me the honour of becoming my wife so I can be bound to you in every way I can?"
Well, what too say? Yes, No, Maybe? Are they going too turn up for the beginning of term speech?
Only time and I will tell
Hope you enjoyed, Lovee Ya'll
