Zoey

Who is this little girl Aphrodite keeps talking about? How does she help? Why don't Stark and I go with them to the red fledglings? Questions kept going through my head all night. Stark tried to make me forget about it, but how am I supposed to forget something that could me life or death? In the morning, I skipped Soc 101 and stayed in my room with Stark. I sat on the bed letting Stark massage my neck and shoulders. "When do you think it will all happen?" I whispered.
"I won't let it." He hugged me from behind.
"But it will no matter what anyone does. What if Desdemona wasn't fooled by the Warrior thing? She'll torturer us. This will be worse than the battle with Neferet."
I cried quietly. Why us? Why couldn't it be over when Neferet died?
"Hey, don't do that." Stark said quietly while wiping the tears from my face.
"When will this end? I haven't even been through the Change and I'm still being targeted."
"Maybe it will all be over when Desdemona's gone. She'll be defeated and we'll be safe."
"Maybe."

The rest of the day went by slowly. Vamp Soc 101 wasn't too friendly either. Desdemona kept calling on me to answer everything. Most of the questions were about a High Priestess's Warrior or a queen's Guardian. I didn't know much so I guessed. "What the hell do you mean we're going to New York?" Aphrodite was arguing with Desdemona.
"What's going on?" I asked, walking up to them.
"She's sending the herd of nerds, Darius, and I to New York." Aphrodite said angrily. When Aphrodite turned to look at me, her eyes said something different. She was worried. Part 1 of her vision came true.
"But they can't go. They're my circle. Why do Stark and I have to stay here?"
"Because I said so! You have to stay here and that's final." Desdemona yelled.
"But-"
"No but's."
I grabbed Aphrodite's arm and pulled her away. "We'll talk to Lenobia. Her and Stark will keep you safe." Aphrodite assured me.
"Get everyone out of class. I'll meet you at the stables with Stark and Darius."
Aphrodite nods and runs off. Oh Nyx. What am I going to do?

Aphrodite

Aphrodite did what Zoey said and got the nerd herd out of class. "What's happening?" Erin asked.
"Shut up. Just follow me."
"No, tell us what's happening with Zoey." Shaunee argued with her.
Aphrodite sighed. "No."
"Just tell us." Damien said.
"Yeah." Stevie Rae chimed in.
These geeks were so annoying! She ignored them and they followed her anyway.
"Zoey! The herd of nerds is here!" Aphrodite called.
Zoey came running through the stable doors with Stark and her man, Darius. Goddess, he was so hot.
"We've explained everything to Lenobia." Zoey said.
"Good... Good."
"What's going on?" Stevie Bumpkin Rae asked.
"You guys are going with Aphrodite and Darius to New York." Zoey started but then lowered her voice. "Nothing will be the same when you get back. You'll have to find Stark and some little girl, then save me. It won't be as easy as it sounds because we are no going against Desdemona."
"That's right. And while Stark and Zoey stay here, I'll do my best to watch out for them." Lenobia said as she joined our discussion.
"Is that why Aphrodikey wouldn't tell us anything?" Erin asked.
Aphrodite rolled her eyes and face palmed. Seriously?
The Twins stuck out their tongues and crossed their arms.
"Stop! You guys need to get ready. Lenobia will be taking you to the private jet soon." Zoey said angrily.
The three of them muttered sorry and they headed to the girls' dorm. Darius and Aphrodite went to her room to get packed.

"Can they be any slower?" Aphrodite muttered as her and Darius waited for the nerd herd and group of red fledglings.
"They're right there, love." Darius pointed to the nerd herd and the red fledglings.
Aphrodite grabbed his hand. "I'm scared." She whispered.
"Zoey will be fine. She has Lenobia and Stark looking after her." Her man whispered back.
"It doesn't matter. I know what I saw and Desdemona will stop at nothing to torture and kill Zoey."
"We'll be ready to fight. This time it won't be just us. We'll have more red fledglings."
Aphrodite nods tightly. She really doesn't want to leave Zoey, but Desdemona is making them. That bitch needs to learn her lesson and we will teach it to her. Hopefully.
Do not give up hope, my daughter, Nyx's voice floated through her mind. I won't, she though to herself.
"Finally, took you guys long enough. Now, let's get out of here." Aphrodite snapped back into reality.
They drove in silence to the jet and climbed on board. This better not be a hoax. There better actually be some red fledglings to get.

Zoey

"We'll be fine," Stark told me as everyone left the stables.
I looked at him. "Are you sure?" I asked.
"Positive."
"We're going to be hurt badly."
"We'll get through this. That little girl is going to help Aphrodite, Darius, Stevie Rae, Damien, Shaunee, Erin, and me save you. "
I nod. This isn't going to be simple. Not like defeating Neferet as very simple. I mean, seriously. Like getting my soul shattered, losing Heath, losing my mom, and losing Jack wasn't bad enough. Desdemona wants to kill me. Oh well. At least I have Stark... And Nyx.

Sorry for it being to short... Thought that was a good way to end it
