The Decision Ch.4

Stevie Rae's POV:

I smelt the blood. Just knowing where the blood itself was coming from made it that much more irresistible. I felt my tongue explode with each swallow of Aphrodite's blood. I told myself over and over to stop but my body wasn't listening. I could feel myself letting instinct take over. I gripped her arm tighter and pushed it closer to my mouth. I felt her flitch and then heard her moan from the sexual pleasure that my bite was giving her. I could feel her. Her emotions were mine. Her love, fear, and want. We were imprinted again. All of the sensations taking over and it was impossible to stop.

I don't want to lose her. I don't want to hurt her anymore. I concentrated hard only on Aphrodite and how much I love her. I slowly unclenched my teeth from her. When her wrist was completely out of my mouth I pushed myself away from her hitting my back against a tree. Wincing in pain from the stab wound still open in my stomach. I slowly tried to catch my breath but the pain made it hard to breathe. When I had some of it under control I looked up at Aphrodite slowly sitting up.

"Aphrodite! Are you ok? I'm so sorry...I couldn't stop..." I said feeling a tear run down my face.
"I'm fine bumpkin..."she said slowly getting to her feet. She walked slowly to me and sat down next to me.
"No you're not...I took too much blood from you. Your white as a bed sheet and you couldn't walk straight just now" I said.

"And what about you? You stopped bleeding but because we imprinted I can feel your still in pain. Let me see your wound" she said lifted my shirt.
"Oh man it's really deep Stevie Rae...we need to get Darius too look at it" she said looking concern.

"No it's..." "Damn it Stevie Rae! I said we are going to see him! Do you know how close you we're to dying? How close I was to loosing you!" She yelled tears coming from her eyes.
My eyes widened and my mouth just hung open. Shock at the sudden attack of words that she through at me. I didn't know she was so scared. She was right. I almost died if it wasn't for her. I almost lost her to because of...me.

"I'm...I'm sorry Aphrodite..." I said wiping her tears away from her beautiful face. "I just can't believe this is happening" I said letting my hand fall into my lap. I let go of my feelings and just let it all out. I turned away from her view so she wouldn't see me cry.

"Bumpkin...I'm sorry for what he did to you" she said wrapping her arms around my neck from behind me. "Just know I will never betray you like that. I promise. So please don't hide from me...ever...ok?" she said trying to turn my body to face her. She is being so gentle not to hurt me because of this cut but my crying wasn't helping that. I turned to face her with my head still faced down. She brought her finger to my chin to left my head up to meet her gaze. I opened my eyes and my heart skipped a beat from the expression she was giving me. It was nothing but a loving look that brightened my soul. Her eyes sparkled from the tears she was crying earlier and her skin was glowing. She was so beautiful. Unimaginable. She leaned in closer until our faces were couple of inches apart.

"I love you bumpkin...so much" she whispered as she came closer to me giving me a soft kiss on my lips. I kissed her back. I could feel her excitement going through me. She brought her hands to the back of my neck pulling me closer as I deepened the kiss. Through our imprint I said back" I love you to ". As she heard that she smiled while our lips kept meeting each other. The kiss was amazing. But everything was interrupted when we heard a gasp coming from the entrance of the tunnel. We separated instantly but it was too late. Darius already saw us.

Aphrodite's POV:

His expression was heart breaking. I turned away from his gaze looking at both me and Stevie Rae's hand and intertwined our fingers. I turned to face him.

" Darius...I..." as I said his name he stormed off back into the tunnel.
" Darius! "I yelled back but he didn't answer back.
I felt Stevie Rae tighten her grip on my hand and I turned to face her.
"You have to tell him about us..." she said looking down on our hands and stroking her thumb on the inside of my palm. I put my free hand on top of ours and squeezed hard. She looked up at me.

"I will tell him but after we tell Zoey what happened here..." I said. I felt a sadness wash over me from her. I hugged her to reassure her that she doesn't have to go through that again." Come on lets go " i said getting to my feet and offering both of my hands to help pull her up. I felt the pain the knife wound gave off as it hit me hard. I blocked off the imprint to help her get up. I literally dragged her to Zoey's room and knocked hard.

"Yeah?" she said through the door.

"For shit sake will you open the door!" I yelled back.
She immediately opened the door and had the shock of her life as she saw Stevie Rae covered in blood.

"Oh my goddess Stevie Rae what happened?" she shouted as she went on the other side of Stevie Rae and pulled her into her room. Stark immediately got off the bed and helped lay her down.

"Rephraim...that's what happened " I said through my teeth. Zoey jerked her head in my direction with a confused look on her face.
"What do you mean Rephraim happened? What in the world is going on?" she said looking back and forth to Stevie Rae and me.

"For the past couple of days I have been having these dreams of Rephraim. In my dream he said he was basically tired of me and stabbed me with a huge knife. And every time I would wake up screaming. The dream wasn't a dream. It was a vision. I didn't know at the time until it really happened just now" She said as I heard a sob coming. But I could feel her holding back as she breathed deeply controlling her emotions.

"What the hell? So he did this to you? Oh my god. And...and where is he now?" Stark asked.

"He went back to Kalona..." Stevie Rae said.

"How do you know that?" Zoey asked.

"Before he flew off that's what he said" Stevie Rae said.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Flew off? How did he fly off? He is human" Zoey asked.

"I don't know but his wings just reappeared. All I know is that Darkness has him now. I saw it in his eyes " Stevie Rae said. I could feel her losing her grip on her emotions as i felt her sadness. They were so strong that I wanted to cry. I could feel myself tearing up. I closed off the imprint before Zoey and Stark could notice.

"Damn it!" Stark said.

"Stevie Rae I'm so sorry...we... We need to stitch you up. Aphrodite can u get Darius?" Zoey asked. Uh no I don't want to get him! I thought to myself.

"I...I can't..." I said looking at Zoey and then to Stevie Rae.

"Uh why not? She needs him" she asked.

"Because..." I smirked. Might as well tell them anyway. They are going to find out eventually.
"Because he saw me and bumpkin kissing..."

It was like as soon as they heard the word "kissing" their heads shot up so hard I thought their heads were going to pop off their shoulder.
"What...what did you just say? I don't think I heard you right?" Zoey asked laughing.

I gave her a stern look.
"Oh you heard me dumbass i don't stutter "

"You guys kissed! How is that even possible?" Zoey yelled.

I laughed at her dumb question.
"We'll you see you have to people and they grab each other's faces and..."

"I know how you kiss! But you and Stevie Rae?" She said while interrupting me.

"Yeah it's true...I Iove her" Stevie Rae said as she looked at me. My heart beating so loud with the words I thought Zoey and Stark could hear it. Which they probably did because they both turned their attention to me.

" And I love her to..." I said looking back at Stevie Rae.

"Oh my goddess" Zoey said putting her hand over mouth to hide a smile and laughter as she stared back and forth to us." I cannot believe this is actually happening. Wow. Uh..." she laughed. "Wow!" she shouted.

"Yes with 'wow' and 'oooo' but can we please get back on topic. What are we going to do about Rephraim? "

"I don't think we can..." Stark laughed. Raising his eye brows up and down as he looked to Stevie Rae and me. Zoey hit him in the arm and I blushed as I realized what his gesture meant.

Don't worry about him ok? And please speak your mind to Zoey about Repraim I can handle it. He and I are over now. And he is gone. We need to get back at him. I heard Stevie Rae say. I looked at her and nodded.

"Rephraim needs to be put down" I said over Zoey and Stark's mumble.

They turned their view to me and back at Stevie Rae.
"Oh hell" Zoey said.
