Chapter 2
ZPOV

I opened my eyes to see Erik getting dressed. I looked him over, he looked over at me before i could speak.
" Good morning" he smiled. " Sorry i woke you up" he whispered.
" No, no. I'm glad that you woke me up, i gotta talk to the others. I'm planning to go back to the school," i whispered back.
" Zoey! You can't go back to the school, it's to dangerous. You can't go alone. Z, you can't do this. Promise me that you won't!" he hissed.
I stood up, not caring to bring the blanket up with me. I marched over to my clothing. " Erik you can't tell me what to do. I have to stop this. I don't care if it kills me, i need to save every one. It's up to me, Erik, if you love me, you would tell me not to save the world. I need you to believe in me, and not worry. OK?" i explained. He hung his head.
" Yes," he mumbled like a kid that just lost an argument. i caressed his cheek, and moved his head to look at mine. I lightly kissed him, he smiled right away. Which was my intention to do to him. ' I love you' i mouthed to him.
" I love you to, and i always will. " He pulled his pants on and walked out the door. I watched the door for a minute before i got dressed. I started to put my bra on, when someone put their arms around my waist, and nuzzled my neck, kissing it. I giggled.
" Come back for more?" i asked.
" Why of course, always." My eyes went wide. That wasn't Erik, Heath or Stark. " What's the matter, my beautiful A-ya" I screamed and turned around. No one was there. I looked around, hyperventilating. I heard people running down the hall. Erik was first to come in the room.
" What's wrong?" he asked in a rush.
" Nothing."
" Bullshit Zo," Heath pipped up from the back.
" Shut the fuck up asshole!" Erik yelled.
" Your not the fucking boss of me, you fucking pussy," they kept throwing words back at each other, till i couldn't take it anymore.
" Both of you, shut the FUCK up!" i yelled. Everyone went quiet and looked at me.
" Did she just swear." I met eyes with Aphrodite.
" Aphrodite" i warned.
" Shutting up," she said and sunk herself into Darius's body. I hyperventilated again, this time in anger. My god, are boys always this annoying? I walked over to the bed, and sat down on it, thinking of what had just transpired. How could Kalona DO that?
Cause your drawn to me my love, i gasped. He can't do this, he was never able to before.
" Zoey, what happened?" Stevie Rae asked in her Okie twang.
I'll be with you soon my love, his voice echoed through my head.
" Nothing, I'll tell you later. Right now, i need everyone to go to the main corridor. I need to talk to you guys about something." They all gave me a concerned look, and left. I brushed of my anxiety and fear then followed them. I walked in to the corridor, they were all sitting, except Erik who came up to me, he tightly squeezed me.
" So what did you want to talk about young Priestess?" Darius asked.
" Well before i start i don't any, ANY interruptions. This is very important," i looked around. " Where's Heath?"
" Football boy went to cool off" Shaunee stated. I groaned.
" Fine, I'll fill him in later. I'm going to make this short. I'm going back to the school." A loud uproar from everyone filled the tunnels. Lots of, what the fucks and no your not were screamed at me. Ugh! what did i say about no interruptions? "GUYS!!" no one stopped. I screamed and left. Everyone went quiet as i screamed and stormed out.
" Z? Hold up, I'll come with you," Erik called. I turned around and glared at him. He stopped dead in his tracks, and looked at me. I turned back around and walked away. I'll find Heath, he always knows how to make me feel better, I thought to myself. I walked around for a while, avoiding the corridor that all my 'friends' were in. I finally decided that he was probably upstairs, that's where we usually talked. I looked around, and spotted him sitting on a old box. I walked up to him and sat on the box next to him, i wrapped my arm around his waist and put my head on his shoulder. He acknowledged i was there by putting his head onto of mine.
" You and him.. last night?" he asked.
" Ya."
" It hurt you know... when you broke the imprint," he stated. This brought back the memory, Why Zo? It brought the tears back. They slowly rolled down my cheeks, as i tried to picture the hurt he went through a second time a round.
" Ya, Heath i so sorry," i said weakly. Rubbing the tears away from my face. He stood up and looked down at me.
" I guess it's OK. I mean, i know i don't want to say it, but you are right you know"
" 'Bout what?"
" The fact that we can't be together. You now don't age, you'll look 17, and I'll look 80! The only reason that i kept trying to stay with you is cause i LOVE you, and i always will. No matter how old we are, i will always love you , and i hope you never forget that," he kept spilling his heart out to me. I cried and cried. I loved him, but i was right, we couldn't be together, maybe for a couple of years, but even in those people would ridicule him for being with a vile, bloodsucking monster.
" Please don't say that," he asked.
" Don't think what?"
" That your a vile, bloodsucking monster. Don't ever say that OK?" he asked again.
" Heath, how did you hear that?"
" What are you talking about, you just said that," he gave me a look like i was losing it.
" No. I didn't. I thought that."
" Then-" a loud crash came from outside. The wood doors of the building shattered into small splinters of wood. I cringed away, not wanting to get them in my eyes. I looked over a the now busted door. I let in a sharp intake of breathe. I blinked to see if i was seeing him. Nope. This definitely wasn't a dream, cause Kalona didn't fade out of this nightmare.
" Hello, my beautiful, beautiful A-ya," he grinned.
" Stay away from her you jackass!" Heath yelled.
" And what do you think that you can do to stop me?" he said pointing at himself.
" Plenty, if you give me-" I cut him off.
" Heath, thanks enough," i told him, he backed down a bit. " What are you doing here Kalona?" i asked sternly.
" Isn't obvious my little blossom? I'm here for you." I heard calls from down the ladder. They were calling me. I got scared, and moved by the small hole in the ground to protect them. I stood my guard, planting my feet firmly on the ground.
" I'm not going anywhere. Especially with you!" i spat. He clucked his tongue. I narrowed my eyes at him. Spirit come to me. I felt the rush of new found energy.
" Now now now, Zoey. Don't be to hasty. You would love being with me, you'd be treated like royalty," he gloated. I looked back, Erik came out of the hole, followed by the rest. They all looked at Kalona, and gasped.
" Everyone behind me," i said.
" But Z-" Erik started to say.
"NOW!" I yelled. They all huddled behind me except for Darius and Stark that stood beside me. Get ready spirit. Spirit boiled inside me.
" Zoey. I came with a proposal. You come with me, and your friends won't pay any consequences. They'll live a normal life. So will you take the proposal?" he asked.
" Never! Only in your dreams!" i shot back at him.
" And apparently our as well," he wickedly grinned. " Come on Zoey, you enjoyed what transpired today."
" I thought that it was someone else!" i screamed. Take him down spirit.

Heath POV

I looked over at Zoey. I couldn't believe what i was seeing. She was glowing, actually glowing. A quick lightening shot of bright light shot out of her, i watched as it sped over to the jackass Kalona. It hit him right in the chest. He went flying backward, and crashed into the wall, breaking what was there in a puff of dust, and debris.
I looked back over at Zoey, she wobbled a bit, i rushed over to her.
" Are you OK?" I asked.
" Ya, it just took a lot out of me. I'll be fine, now get back behind me" She said.
" Are you sure?" i quizzed.
" Yes, now hurry, just in case he gets up," I walked back to where i was, i kept looking back at her, she had on a straight face on. People were whispering their excitement about what just happened. I heard a rustle over where he crashed. I saw him slowly get up, dust himself off. He had a grim expression, and he walked up to Zoey so that he was looking down on her. She looked up with the same expression. He shook his head.
" You really shouldn't have down that Zoey." he warned. She spat in his face. He smacked her with the back of his hand. She went down and didn't come up.
" You fucking idiot!" i screamed at him. He looked over at me briefly and looked back down at her in disgust. That big guy stepped in front of Zoey, pushing Kalona back. He grimaced at Kalona.
" Who the fuck do you think that you just struck?" he pushed again. Kalona stopped.
" I know who the fuck I struck, now watch it or you'll get the same!" he barked.
" I don't care. This is our high-priestess, and PROTECT her. You have NO right doing that to some innocent girl!" Darius threw i punch, but Kalona stopped it, squeezing down on his hand, I cringed away at the sound of his bones breaking. He screamed in pain, and threw in against the wall.

" NO! Darius!" I watched Aphrodite run over to him. She started to caress the side of his face, I couldn't hear whats she was saying to him, but she did keep kissing him. I looked back at Kalona, I wanted to run over there and kick the shit our of him, but I knew I probably wouldn't survive. He walked closer to Zoey and crouched down beside her, he picked he up and turned around.

" Hey, what the fuck do you think that you're doing!" I screamed again.

He chuckled, and turned to look at me. " Well, I'm taking what's rightfully mine," he turned around again, and jumped up in the air, he flew away, and all I could do was watch. I looked over at the others. Tears were in their eyes, Erik was on his knees crying. I walked over to him and knelt beside him, I put my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me, his eyes were red from the tears.

" Don't worry, we'll get that jackass, we all will," I said. He nodded with a grim expression. I stood back up. " Guys I know that I'm the human, but we need to work together to get Zo back. We will get him, all of us," I tried to encourage.

" He's right you know," I looked back to see, Aphrodite standing up with Darius semi-leaning on her.

" She is the only thing in the world that could stop him, if he gets to her, we're all doomed. We need to figure out a plan," she said, she smiled at me, then looked back up to Darius.

ZPOV

I woke up and held my head. God, it was killing me, What happened to me? Just then I remembered. I gasped and looked around.

" Hello my love." I whipped around and screamed.
