Akaya held Jared close and fed from his neck. A few drops of blood feel on his shoulder as she pulled away from him. He pulled her close and dressed her in his clothes that were three sizes bigger then she really was. Akaya just layed there. Feeling so cold and wishing she could see her brother. Her mother. She wanted to be with her family and yet she had to wait. Her brother was the only one that could cure her of every curse Artemis put on her. The curses were all to punish Ash and Akaya knew it. Artemis made Akaya a strange being. Akayathis Parthenopaeus, was a Dark-Huntress, a Dream-Hunter, and Were-Hunter. But, Artimes had put one other curse on her. Along with the Were part of her, she had to mate with someone or she would die.
Jared felt her shiver and just held her tighter. What else was he suppose to do? Whatever she was thinking it was hard to tell. He had no idea of what to do. Hell he had no place being with Acheron's little sister either. But he was. Something about her made him feel again. And she had risked everything to help Jaden. And she never even asked for a reason to why he asked her for her help. She had just....helped him. She moved and looked up at him.
" I'm going to bed. I feel better. Thanks." Akaya said.
" Sure. You need some help? Jared asked her.
Her eyes looked sad and tired. Something about those eys made him want to hold her even longer. What was it about her that made him want to be a loving person when all he was, was a monster that was only put on this earth to die? She laughed.
" I can get to my room. Thanks." she said smiling at him.
Akaya hugged him and walked to her room. She closed the door and leaned her back against it. She feared going to sleep alone. Jared alot of the time would stay in the chair near the bed and stayed till she was in a deep sleep. But being part dream-hunter, she found it hard to sleep most nights. She layed on the bad and hugged her pillow. She touched her lips with the tips of her fingers. She could still taste him. His blood was sweet with a bite to it.
What if he and I are .....? Oh Akaya don't be stupid. Even if he wanted you he wouldn't do anything.
Akaya sighed and held the pillow tighter. But did he? Did he even she her as someone he could be with? Maybe. But it was too risky. She wouldn't risk anything from him or ask him to do anything.
Jared stood infront of her door. He wanted to knock and she if she needed him to stay with her. But something was telling him to stay away from her tonight. He walked to his room and sat next to the window. Jaden appered and sat in the chair next to the night stand.
" You doing okay?" Jaden asked.
" What are you doing here?" Jared asked him. He was happy to see Jaden but it was odd to see him just pop up.
" Checking on you and her. Ash is looking for her."
" Go tell him she is here. I wont stop Acheron from being with his sister."
" Yeah well I can't do that. He knows Artemis did something to her and well, she blocked him from sensing her."
Well that sucked. Artemis just never stopes when she is beat. But everyone knew that and Jared could only hope that Acheron found her soon.
" Are you okay Jared?" Jaden asked him again.
" Yeah. Just worried Akaya wont be. She never feeds unless I make her and even then she's a handful. "
Jaden laughed. He got up and clapped him on the back.
" Just stay safe. I'll be at Acheron's for the time being. Don't leave her side for minute. Ash really wants to see his sister again. "
Jared nodded and when Jaden vanished he opened the window and closed his eyes as the cool ait hit his face. his dark red hair feel in his face. A warm hand moved it out of his face. He looked and saw Akayathis.
" Kay. I thought-"
She interupted him with a kiss that made him burn inside. He pulled her into his lap and held her close, his hand caught in her hair. Their tongues danced in a gentle ride. She pulled away to breath and she layed her head on his shoulder.
" I don't want to be by myself. Can I stay with you tonight?" She asked him.
" Yes. You can stay with me." Jared was still dizzy from the kiss. Damn. He was hard from that kiss and he wanted her. But she seemed so fearful of something. He cradled her in his lap rocking back and forth. Stroking her midnight black hair.
He knew who she was, but that didn't stop him from wanting to be with her. He knew her brother would be here soon and he was going to treasure every second he had left with her.
