Chapter 4 Change
Kay so this is a few months into the story, just incase you get confused.
"Here i have three different patterns for your invitations." Jack said as he laied out the cards.
"Its Starks turn to pick, seeing as i got to pick the month and where the wedding will be held." I said
"I like this one." Stark said as he pointed to a card that had red and blue swirls. He opened the card and found that there was a blue crescent moon in the middle. The paper was a beige colour so the moon really stood out.
"Good choice. This one was my favourite too." Jack said "So how many do i need to make?" Jack asked.
Stark and i looked at each other.
"Were gonna have to think about it." Stark said.
"Okay well let me know when you figure out. I'll be more than happy to make alot." Jack said
"Thanks Jack." I said
Stark and i walked out side into the moon light. This was one of the things that i loved about being vampyer. You get to see the moon and every thing seems so peaceful at night.
Well it did until the screams started.
Stevie Rae and Aphrodite ran up to us breathless. They had tears in their eyes and were panting so hard that they couldn't talk.
"Whats wrong?" I asked. Aphrodite and Stevie Rae made some hand motions that seemed like something bad was happening. They grabbed Stark's and my hands and started pulling us. We heard more screams and someone who had a very high pitched voice called "Damien!" I didn't need to hear anything else. I ran into full gear and made it just in time to see Damien on the ground moaning and clutching his head. I ran up beside Damien and took his hand. I didn't smell any blood, but that could be because i was in shock that another one of my friends might very well be dying. I looked over at Stark and saw that his eyes didn't have a hint of red in them like they usually did when he smelt blood.
"Zoey...am...am...I...dying?" Damien asked between the panting and groaning.
"No. Your not dying your changing Damien. Your changing into an adult vampyre." I said with a smile and tears running down my face. I could tell that he was still in pain so i used Spirit to help calm him. The moment my hand touched his back the shaking stoppedand Damien relaxed. At first he just laied there, seeming like he was never going to move again. But he slowly sat up and raised his head. Everyone gasped. Damien's mark was not only filled in and added to but the saphire moon was now yellow. The colour of his element.
His crescent moon was surrounded by swirls that carried little leaves. It looked like wind.
"Damien, its beautiful." Stevie Rae gasped.
"That's really cool." Shaunee said
"I think awesome would be a better word twin." Erin said.
"Can i at least see it?" Damien asked. Aphrodite pulled out her mirror and held it up so Damien could see.
"Oh my..." Damien gasped. Happy tears rolled down his face." Thank you." Damien said. He lifted his head to the sky and in a strong voice said. "Thank you Nyx!" Jack came up beside him and wrapped his arms around Damien's neck. For awhile everyone was really silent, taking in the events of the day.
Grandma came running toward us.
"Whats wrong? I heard screaming and running and gasping. Is everyone okay?"
"Every things fine Grandma" Damien said. He moved his head so he could look at grandma. She gasped when she saw his face.
"Oh Damien! That's beautiful! Congratulations!" Damien stood up and hugged grandma.
"Now I'm gonna go in and rest. I still have to work on your clothes, but once I'm done i will need you all to come and try them on. Good night."
"I think were gonna head in too." Erin said.
"Yeah me too. Changing can sure take a lot of energy." Damien said
We all started to head in when i noticed Aphrodite talking to Darius.
"You guys head in, I'll catch up later." I told the others. I ran to where Aphrodite and Darius were and saw that she was crying.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked as i sat down beside her. Aphrodite looked at Darius. He nodded and kissed her forehead. We sat in silence for awhile then i asked "Whats wrong?"
"A few things." Aphrodite said as she stared down at her hands.
"Do you want to talk about them?" I asked gently.
"Well i kinda have to tell you anyway." She told me
"So what is it?"
"I had a vision." She said barley audible.
"What was it about?" I was a little scared because Aphrodite's visions were never the unicorn-and-rainbow type they were more gloom-and-doom.
"I don't know really! One moment, I'm in a car then some guy screams 'Look out.' the next my head hits the steering wheel, then I'm being rushed into an ambulance and i fall asleep and then when i wake up im in a hospital, feeling really sorry for someone. And i heard your voice. It was all muffled but it was defiantly yours and you were going insane."
"There was a car accident? And me?"
"Yeah but i don't know who was in it, so we cant stop it. We just have to keep you away from cars and hospitals" Aphrodite said frustrated. I took a deep breath,
"So what else is bothering you?" i asked
"Well when i saw Damien change i was happy for him but then i realized that I'll never be a vampyre." Aphrodite's voice broke when at the end of her sentence."I mean, I'm glad i get to be with you guys and be apart of your wedding and be with Darius. But for how long?'' She was looking at me with teary eyes.
I know that she loves Darius more than anything in the world, and that she wants the best for him, but she still wants to be a vampyer with the rest of us.
"But you look like you haven't aged." I said trying to cheer her up.
"There isn't much different from being seventeen and twenty one Zoey."Aphrodite said glumly.
"But you haven't aged Aphrodite." A musical voice said. We turned around to find a familiar women walking towards us.
"Nyx!" Aphrodite and i ran up to our goddess.
"Hello my daughters. Congratulations Zoey, on your engagement."
"Thank you Nyx." I said "So why hasn't Aphrodite aged." I said getting right to the point
"That's because you were always a vampyer Aphrodite. You just have more humanity than others. just like i told you a few years back" Nyx said simply.
"You mean I'm still a vampyer?" Aphrodite said.
"You are, you just don't have a mark because you saved Stevie Rae."
"So i can still be with Darius?"
"For as long as you live." Nyx smiled and Aphrodite hugged her.
"Now i must be going. Good luck Zoey Redbird and Aphrodite Lafont, my faith goes where you go." Nyx shimmered and wavered and then was completely gone.
''So you still gonna be with us?" i asked Aphrodite
"Of corse i still need to plan your wedding." She said.
"Yeah, about that. Don't go over board please, its not going to be very big."
''I make no promises." Aphrodite said. She came and hugged me. Over the years we became really close, she helped me find the perfect out fit for my first date with Stark, helped with the rituals and even got use to the twins. I cant even count how many people lives we saved because of her visions. Visions!
"We forgot to ask Nyx about the vision!" I said "How are we going to stop it from happening!"
"Shit! i don't know! I guess we'll just figure it out till we get it right."
"Who else have you told?" i asked
"Just you and Darius. Just like i always do unless you tell me to tell the others. So do we tell the others?"
"I don't know. i think it would be a good idea to." So we head in and tell the others about the vision.
"That makes no sense." Erin said
"Well do i do about it? Invent a time machine and go into the future and then come back and tell you guys not to let Zoey into a car or hospital?
"I could keep her here with me." Stark said as he wrapped his strong arms around me. "I don't mind"
"Um... barf" Erin said
"Yeah i kinda feel like my lunch is going to make a reappearance twin." Shaunee said.
"You guys don't have a romantic bone in your body, so stop being so rude!" Jack said
"It's okay Jack, they just have to remember that when the act all lovey-dovey with someone then were aloud to puke." I told them smiling. They rolled their eyes and said "Whatever."
"We're just saying that you two cant act all in love for another three months. Once your married then we don't care what you do." Shaunne said
"Yeah, but we just don't want to see it or hear it."Erin said as she looked at Stark. Stark laughed good naturally and said
"I make no promises."
"Can we just stop talking about this and talk about a better topic. Like how many people are coming to this wedding?" Damien said
"Maybe like fifty to a hundred." Stark said
"How about you two make a list while we all get some sleep." Aphrodite said
"That sounds like a plan." Stark said.
Everyone started heading up the stairs but before Erin could go to her room she turned to say this sentence. "Remember i don't want to see it or hear it." Then she was gone
"Who'd know planning a wedding would be so much work." i said. "But we still need guests to show up, so you write a list of all the people you'd like to come and I'll write a list of all the people i want to come." we started writing and came up with about sixty people.
"The twins and Aphrodite aren't going to be very pleased they find out we have such a small geust list." Stark said
"That doesn't matter. To me a wedding is getting married to that special someone, having your family and friends their to celebrate the love that the two people share. We don't need a big wedding because to me big weddings just end in chaos. I only added some of these people because i new that if i didn't have at least thirty then I'd be in trouble."
"Same here. So who did you invite?"
"My grandma, mom, brother, sister, not the step-loser, aunt, uncles, cousins. You?"
"My grandparents,parents, sister and aunts, uncles and cousins."
"I guess we have a lot of cousins aunts and uncles."
"I guess so." Stark yawned "I guess its time for bed."
"I guess it is." Stark helped me off the couch and we headed to my room for a very peaceful sleep.
