Chapter 4 of Change Happens

*It's Started*

Flora's POV

"Zoey have you told Stark yet about that feeling that I have?" I said that to her.

"No" she looked to everyone "Everyone, The first person that will talk to Angerona, will be Flora. Nyx has giving her a feeling that she should speak first, then Stark, then me. I believe her, so Im asking for you to believe her too. Any problems?" She said in a way that allowed anyone that had questions could ask.

"I don't have a problem, but what if they don't stop and listen to us?" Shaunee started

"Yea, what if they come out and just start fighting us?" Erin finished.

"I don't want anyone to make a move until Stark and I say so. Unless they hurt you, don't touch them. They still are our students, and even if they are not acting like it now, they are Nyx's children, so no harming them unless you have to." Zoey told everyone. She walked in a circle looking everyone in the eye, making sure they understood.

"Okay, if that's what you want." I looked across the circle to see Erik Night looking at Zoey with eyes that said desire. He always was trying to get between Zoey and Stark and I never really liked him.

I didn't really know what to do now that everyone knew what was going to happen when Angerona came out, so I decided that I might as well work on trying to improve that tracking thing that Zoey was doing earlier.

I sat down and cross my legs and pushed my hands to the earth. I closed my eyes and focused. Almost as soon as I started I felt something. I felt movement. I knew that it was Angerona.

I didn't open my eyes when I felt someone's hand on my shoulders.

"Can you tell me what you feel?" Zoey asked me

"I feel them digging…..It takes about 5 seconds for the vibrations to get back to me" I said focusing even more.

"Okay so what does that mean?" She asked me

"That they are 5 feet from the surface." This time I was sure.

"Yes"Almost as soon as Zoey let go of me I stopped feeling them moving.

"Zoey they have paused again"

Angerona's POV

I finally got myself together so I could catch up to the rest of my group. It took me a few minutes to reach them but they hadn't dug that much so when I got them they had just stopped like I wanted them too.

"Thank you for waiting for me. Before we surface I wanted to clear up some things" I sat to them all.

"What things?" Star asked me.

As soon as we were trapped in the underground school I realized what I had done, and it made me sick. I didn't know what was going on. It was like something else was controlling me. Someone that wanted to hurt everyone that was around Zoey. They wanted me to hurt everyone around Zoey but I had a deep want to just kill Zoey. I have tried my hardest to keep in control but it was hard. I loose grip a lot. And I can tell I'm about to loose control once again, and I don't want to go back to that darkness again. It hurt a lot. I was constantly being chased by this strange bright light in the shape of a bull. And when ever it touched me it hurt like hell.

"I want all of you to know that I don't want to hurt anyone out there. So please don't hurt them. Even if I start to attack them please don't know matter what it is that I say or do. THIS is the real me. Don't listen to anyone besides Zoey, Stark and anyone that is on their side. And make sure that they are. When we break fre-" I was chocked off.

I knew that I was about to loose control and I just did.

"When we break free?" Josh said

"When we break free I want you to come out fighting. I don't want to hurt them, but they will hurt you. So the only way to survive is to take them out!" the other person said from inside my body.

"Okay we understand, I guess." Star said looking at this form of me like they were crazy and this other person was!"Well what are you waiting for! Get to work!" SHEsaid to them.

"Sorry we will hurry up." they said and dug 3times as fast as they just were.

When I was being controlled by this person/darkness it seemed like the darkness rubbed off on them. And I hated that when I was weak, the others suffered. But now there was nothing I could do but watch this other person control my body and hurt people that I know, and love.

"Master we only have about a foot left to dig through. Do you want to be the first one to come out?" Demy said to me.

"Yes, but dig the whole, I don't do digging. Once there is a whole that I can fit through I will go out." I have to get control of myself before they get through! She is going to have them kill Zoey and Stark, and-and Flora! I cant be weak anymore!

"Nyx Please Please hear me! I'm asking you this not for myself, but for Zoey, Stark, and everyone else that is at the Baltimore House of Night. Please give me the strength to fight this darkness at least long enough to save all of Red Fledglings and Zoey." I prayed with as much faith as I could. I kinda think it worked because the white bull was getting further behind me. Giving me time to get back to my body. But I don't think I got back in time!

Zoey's POV

Me and Flora stood up and took our places. Me and Stevie Ray could tell that they were going to be through within seconds. Even if Flora didn't, we would have to train more later, right now wasn't a good time.

I let Flora take a step forward in front of us all. I didn't like the idea of her being here and I defiantly didn't like that she was going to be the first one to talk to Angerona and her gang.

"Flora are you sure you can do this?" I placed my hand on her shoulder and asked her.

"Yes I am!" She said with the utmost confidence.

"Okay." I glanced at Stark and our eyes met. His reflected mine. He didn't like the idea either.

Just then the dirt in the middle of the circle started to move. It fell down making a whole that was what looked like 3 feet across. There was a pause then Angerona came out. Alone.

"Hello Angerona" Flora said completely in control

"Flora, Stark, Zoeyyy" She slurred my name hatefully.

"Angerona why are you doing this to the other Red Fledglings? I understand that we have a problem but what did they do to you?" She said in a kind voice.

"Who said that they did anything? Maybe we just have some common ground. We both have had HER do wrong to us!" she pointed right at me, taking me by complete surprise.

"What did Zoey do to you?"

"She took the love of my life, but that wasn't enough she killed him and me-" Angerona started choking. But it was wrong, it was like she was being straggled she fell on the ground.

"NO YOU ARE NOT TAKING OVER!" She screamed seeming like to herself. But it wasn't Angerona's voice. It almost sounded like, no it cant be!.

"Zoey please help me! I cant fight her off much longer!" Angerona said crying. Sounding just like her self.

"What's happening Angerona, who do you have to fight off?" Flora said before I could.

"I don't know but when ever she gets control this strange white light comes and chases me around. Whenever it touches me it hurts like crazy. And it cuts me look!" she showed us her legs and her pants and there were cut up and she had slices on her legs that were still bleeding a little bit.

She bent over on herself again, she yelled and then it suddenly broke off. She sat straight up and had no emotion on her face. She glanced around and then stood up straight.

"Sorry about that, it wont happen again." She said

"Why are you doing this to Angerona!" Stark yelled, clearly seeing his Fledgling in pain got to him.

"Well its simple, she was the first one I could get to. It was only a perk that she was your Fledgling. It would have been better if she was Zoey's I bet that really would have pissed you off wouldn't it!" She wasn't even trying to hid her real voice. And the more I heard it the more I knew who it was.

"Let her go! Before I do to you what I did to your precious Kalona!" I yelled at her.

She winced back in pain. So I know I was right.

"You WHORE! You were never happy with the guys you had! You had to have mine as well! And look you still have 2 guys! Erik is still here, so Stark how many days a week do you loan her off to Erik? And is there any other new guys that I should know about?" I could feel Stark's anger beginning to boil.

"Neferet, I didn't take Kalona from you! He was never yours anyway! He only wanted me because he wanted to be closer to his true love. Nyx! You should have known that." I said to her. I knew that it was her. Only Neferet could hold a grudge against me this long.

"Shut up! You WILL feel the pain that I know!" She jumped up and towards Stark. Everything happened so fast!

The other Red Fledglings that were still underground sprang out. They started to grab everyone is sight.

"Defend your selves!" Stark and me yelled at the same time. That's when it got really bad. People were fighting all over. The only ones that weren't fighting were me, Stark, Flora, Stevie Ray and Neferet/Angerona. I looked at Stevie Ray, she was panicking. I could tell that she didn't want her Fledglings in this.

"Stevie Ray! Get your Fledglings out of here. We don't need them right now! Go through the tunnel in the middle. Just get out of here!"

I turned and faced Neferet/Angerona. She was still staring at me.

"Come on Zooey lets go! You hate me so much, fight me!" Neferet wasn't hiding at all.

I push Flora to the side, so she wasn't in front of me, incase Neferet jumped at me.

"Neferet go NOW! Leave Angerona's body and never come back!" I said to her

"No I'm good." Neferet bent down and jumped up in the air.

I called Fire to me and was ready to fight. Neferet was in mid-air when something happened that I would never think would happen.

Next thing I know, Angerona/Neferet was on the ground with Flora on top of her.
