Forbidden: Immortal-Fledgling Love (House of Night Stand Alone)
I Do Not Own Any Of These Characters Except Katharine Jenkins
You would think that everything was going to be all right, once Kalona and I got together but it wasn't. Right when I
got inside of the girl's dorm after an intense day, all I wanted to do was go to sleep, but no, here I was being
bombarded with questions, shrieks, and irritated sighs from Zoey, Stevie Rae, Katharine, and Aphrodite. "Shaunee,
what's going on between you and Kalona?" Zoey asked as they all looked at me with WTF looks in their eyes.
"Yeah, first you two were going at each other's throat, now you're going at it with your tongues, what's up with
that?" Katharine asked as she narrowed her eyes on me as I looked at everyone. "I thought we told each other
everything-" Stevie Rae said and frowned as her blue eyes darkened sadly before Aphrodite interrupted her. "Well
apparently not everything," Aphrodite snickered as she glared at me before I sighed irritated. "Would you just let
me explain?" I shouted in frustration as my element swarmed around me, making them all look at me with worried
looks. "Then explain, so that we can go to bed, some of us, meaning you guys and not me, need more beauty sleep than
mio," Aphrodite hissed before she smirked at me. "I don't know how it happened, I bumped into him on my way
back here a few weeks ago after I broke up with Cole, he was patrolling or whatever he does as a Warrior saw me
crying then he just started talking to me," I said and shrugged confused before I continued. "I caught him watching
me dance one day, although he had been watching me for the past couple of weeks, and we started talking before
he came inside, then he touched me-" I started before Katharine, Zoey, and Stevie Rae gasped in shock as
Aphrodite smirked. "You let him touch you, you mean, since we all know that he can't touch someone unless they
give him permission," She stated and I nodded as I blushed. "But you know he's dangerous, he can't be trusted
Shaunee," Zoey said and I looked away from them as silenced engulfed us then. "I know, but I want to, plus he
pledged me his Warrior's Oath and swore that he wouldn't hurt me," I said before they all gasped again. "Are you
freakin' serious?" Zoey said wide-eyed as well as everyone else. "No fucking way, I thought he said he would never
let a woman rule over him in any way at all," Katharine said and I shrugged and smiled at bit. "I guess not anymore,
he even asked Thanatos for permission first," I said and Aphrodite snickered. "Really, I bet she handed it to him,"
She said and sighed dramatically. "No, actually just the opposite which surprised both him and I, ya know, since he
is her Warrior and all," I said as I looked at them confused. "Well not anymore, he's your Warrior now more than
hers," Katharine said and smiled at me. "I guess," I replied back and smiled at her. "We're not telling you what to
do, but just be careful with him, I still don't trust him 100%," Zoey said before she hugged me. "I will, and I think he
knows that all of us don't trust him, that's part of the reason he is the way he is with us," I said sadly before I
sighed and pulled back. "Yeah, you gotta be careful honey, he may be hotter than a pig on an Oklahoma farm
during the summer but still keep an open ear with him and if he tries anything well be right here for you," Stevie
Rae said and hugged me before I giggled as Aphrodite and Katharine snorted. "He may be hotter than an exclusive
Juicy Couture bracelet but they are right, just watch out, deal with him, anything that is that hot is bound to destroy
something you love," Katharine said and hugged me next. "Yeah what she said," Aphrodite said before she flipped
her hair back and flaunted away from us heading upstairs to our rooms. "I will thanks guys," I said and smiled at
them as we all headed upstairs. "Does Erin know, she still hasn't talked to you?" Stevie Rae asked and I shook my
head and sighed sadly. Erin, my ex-best friend, practically my non-related twin and I weren't talking anymore. She
just started hanging out with Dallas and the rouge red-fledglings, and I so wasn't with that, I mean please, you'll
never catch me hanging out with those wanna-be bad asses. It sucked that I couldn't go to her and tell her what
had happened and have her give me her 'To much hotness is always a bad thing' speech but I had Zoey, Stevie
Rae, even Aphrodite but especially Katharine to help me out. After Erin and I's falling out, Katharine, who had just
came to our House of Night, fit right in with our group and we clicked instantly. I wasn't trying to replace Erin with
Katharine but that's how Erin took it, but we weren't friends anymore so why should it matter who I hang out with,
right? All of this ran through my mind as we all headed to our rooms. I had roomed with Katharine after me and Erin
almost came to blows two months ago. She just keep getting on my nerves all of a sudden with her unnecessary
sarcasm and hateful attitude, please, no one is attractive when their attitude sucks. I was sad that my best friend
chose a different path than I did but I wasn't going to let her or anyone destroy what I believed in and always
would our Goddess Nyx, and because of those decisions they kind of led me to Kalona in a way. Just thinking about
him made me calmer but a little fidgety and nervous. I mean he's the hottest thing to walk this earth and he pledged
himself to me as his Warrior, no way. I thought with a smile on my face as I got ready for bed and crawled under
my covers. That night I dreamed of him and what I wished would have happened in the dance studio when he
kissed me yesterday.
