Chapter 3

I looked Damien in the eyes and let him put his head on my shoulder and cry. Whilst Damien was crying two doctors came in and picked up Jacks body to take it into the infirmary. I told Damien that he should stay here and get cleaned up instead of moving. We didn't close the circle at all that night…

I woke up in the early hours of the afternoon thinking to myself. I couldn't stand knowing how many of my friends would die in front of me whilst I was still living the high life. I got gifts from the goddess whilst some of the best people in the world were dying I should be more grateful. Maybe I was meant for great things but shouldn't everyone else be meant for something great in the universe. I looked around the room to see that everyone was still asleep on the great big rug that we had laid down to sleep on. The candles were still lit and sitting next to the element controllers.

I stood up very slowly trying to be as quiet as possible, I then had another quick look around the room to make sure that no one was disturbed by me but all was still and quiet. I walked past everyone still being very carefully quiet. At least there were no red fledglings to get comfortable or make space for. But it was very strange to know that Stevie Rae wasn't here to witness anything going on but, I guess that she had her own problems with changing her blood sharer. Hang on a minute let's just back track here. If Stevie Rae wasn't here then who held the earth candle tonight when we were casting the circle for Jack and wishing him well in his next life (hopefully Nyx was looking after him and making sure that he stayed well.

I walked back into the room and looked for where we had set the earth candle next to the owner but I was shocked to find that Aphrodite was lying there next to the earth candle fast asleep. But I didn't see or hear her get zapped or shocked when I cast the circle. Nyx is truly still on our side and maybe she will let Aphrodite keep her element. As if Aphrodite could feel my staring she stirred and sat up very quickly. She stared at me eyes wide and shocked. I knew then that she had had another vision that she hadn't told me about. I pointed at her and motioned for her to come over here to where I stood. She nodded and slowly arose from where she was sitting. Carefully trying not to wake someone she walked over here. She wasn't as quiet as we were but that wasn't her fault. When she finally stood in front of me I walked out of the room to where I was standing before. She followed.

"You have had a vision" I accused her as soon as we were out of earshot.

She nodded looking shaken "I don't think you need to know anymore" she looked sad again, like she was just about to die and needed to get something of her chest.

I smiled at her waiting for her to keep going but she didn't "You can tell me" I smiled at her again.

"It is about Kalona Killing your human boyfriend Heath" please sat that it is… right she only had bad visions. She looked like she was on the edge.

'Hang on a minute what do you mean" I am a priestess… I am a priestess… I am a priestess… I kept on telling myself. I will not be annoyed with her as I am a priestess… in training me; thought dully.

"I saw him die before we got to the plane before we even thought of coming here. I knew that if he came that he would die here. That's why I didn't really want him to come with us" she sobbed. Somehow I managed to keep the self control that I swore to keep.

"Why didn't you tell me this before? You tell me when I could die but the people I most love. How could you do this to me"? I was now very sad and felt like I could cry.

"I'm really sorry" she sobbed.

I stormed out of the room not knowing how much self control I had left in me. I didn't want to get mad at her because enough had, happened already today. I walked through the second lounge room towards the door way where I could breathe some fresh clean air and get my senses back together. People trusted me to be all high and elegant as a representative (at least that's what some people thought I was) but I am really a teenager who has problems. I mean who doesn't have their problems to sort out even if they aren't average.

The next thing I knew I had fallen asleep at the door way where the sun couldn't hit me. I dreamt that everything was happy and no one was dying. Everything was the way it had been before I was marked by our goddess Nyx. I wish that life could be that simple again but I like this part of my life as well. I guess that it was a good thing to be marked because I am not near the step looser and my mum.

I realised that I was half asleep only because I could feel a blanket being put around me and some footsteps. I didn't want to move so I just sat like this for a few minutes. I wasn't actually very sure on how much time was going by but that was all that it felt like. I opened my eyes and Stark immediately came to my side. I shook him of but couldn't get out any words like I wanted to.

I sat up suddenly having a craving of my non diet brown pop. I stood up and went back through the hallway to where the first lounge room was. The lounge room led to a small kitchen that was full of whatever we wanted. Guess what… there was junk food unlike the Tulsa house of night!!!! I picked a bottle out with some potato chips I think that they were chicken flavour but I didn't really pay any attention to taste or labels I was starving! I sat on the couch and put my feet up. My friends were watching me like I was insane.

"When are we going back?" Erin asked me.

"I hope soon" Shaunee said.

"We will be going in two days. We still have a lot of undecided business to do here. Can you pass the DVDs here" we went through all the DVDs and I found some geeky movies "Should we have a geek marathon?" everyone looked enthusiastic at that point so we put on star wars and got comfortably squished up together.

We sat there watching the movies until they had finished and we were all bored of them. Shaunee and Erin were criticising the fashion and the guys and girls that played the roles whilst Aphrodite and her BF snuck out of the room to do whatever they wanted. Aphrodite was still looking sorry at me but I just didn't look at her for very long and always turned my head in disgust. I think that's why she went out of the room.

I guess that today had been a reasonable day for the amount of days and weeks that had been very strange. I guess that I should make up with Aphrodite because she has always been here for me but I still don't know.

Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to keep reading my story… I hope that you all like it…
