HI! i know iits been a while but here it is
i do not own the house of night
Well, uh, are you hungry" The girl called Zoey asked Stark
"Yeah, I guess" He answered
"If you hurry you can eat with us and Damien can show you to your room before we have to go to the council meeting" Zoey said. What council meeting? What council? This school is very different from the one in Chicago.
"I think your dog is pretty" the boy behind Damien said. Well that is surprising no besides Clemintine or Stark ever said that about me. Maybe this is whom Clemintine was talking about when she said there would be someone else who enjoys a dogs company. I wish I could thank him, stupid no talking! "I mean she's big but she is still pretty. She won't bite me will she" the boy asked. Hehe. I wont bite but I wanted to bite Neferet.
Stark grinned "Not if you don't bite her first"
"Ewww, I'd get dog hair in my mouth and that be nasty" the boy said.
"Stark this is Damien's boyfriend, Jack" Zoey said. Boyfriend? What….How…. I never understood relationships. Another question to ask Stark.
"Hi" Jack said
"Yeah, hi" Stark said. Always the talker isn't he?
"And this is Erin" she pointed to blond haired girl that I guess owned Beelzebub "And Shaunee" Zoey pointed to the caramel colored girl that also seemed to own Beelzebub. Or to him the two girls that he owned
"They also answer to Twin, which will make sense after you've known them for two point five seconds." Twin? They look nothing alike. They could be fraternal
"Hey, there" Shaunee said
"Ditto" Erin said. They both gave Stark a strange look. Ah, soul twins! "And this is Aphrodite" Zoey pointed to a girl I hadn't noticed before, which would be very hard she was very pretty. Stark smiled sarcastically
"So you're the Goddess of Love. I've heard a lot about you" he said. I rolled my eyes. Aphrodite was staring at Stark weird and I cocked my head to the side and looked at her. Then she flipped her hair and said
"Hi I like it when I'm recognized" she said
Stark laughed and said, " It'd be hard not to recognize you. The names pretty obvious." Aphrodite's expression changed she looked mean.
"Stark, I'll show you were we keep the trays and stuff" Damien said before Aphrodite could speak. He stood up and looked at me confused. Understandable.
"No worries" Stark said "She'll stay put as long as no cats do anything stupid" He glanced at Nala.
"Nala will be good" Zoey said. I looked back at Nala she still seemed tense
"Calm down" I whispered, "I won't you" the tension in Nala lessened some
"Alright then" he turned to me "Duchess stay!" then he walked with Damien to the lunch line
"You know dogs are a lot louder than cats" Jack said staring at me.
"It's all that panting they do" Erin said. Well! I'm right here!
"And thee more flatulent than cats, Twin" Shuanee said. All right! Rude!
"My mom had hose ginormic, standard poodles and they are some gaseous creatures" Erin said. Not needed information.
"Okay well this has really not been fun" Aphrodite said "I'm out of here"
"Don't you want to stay and make eyes at the new kid" Shaunee asked sweetly
"Yeah and he seemed to like you so much" Erin said equally as sweet.
"I'll leave the new guy to you two, which is only right being he likes dogs so much. Zoey, come by my room when you get done with your nerd herd. I want to talk to you about something before the council meeting" she flipped her hair then left.
"She's not very nice", I muttered to Nala
"No not really but lately she and Zoey have become sorta like friends" she said, which surprised me.
"Can I ask you about Zoey's marks? Why does she have adult tattoos" I asked her
"All I know is that she has been blessed by her Goddess" Nala replied "Her friend is the same way she's only a third former but has adult tattoos and they're red." Red! This school gets weirder and weirder.
"How does her friend have red tattoos and where is her friend", I asked her still having to keep my voice low. The thing about talking animals is I have to bark to talk to them but with people I can talk out loud so it's been a while since I barked this much. "I don't know much on the subject except her friend gained red tattoos when Zoey cast a circle and now is in hiding if your around them long enough you should be able to understand it better. I barely do" then Nala turned back to the fledglings at the table. As did I as they continued their conversation
"But on a more important topic" Erin said
"Yeah, the new hottie" Shaunee finished. Hehe. This will be funny! But this isn't the first time I've heard something like this from a girl about Stark.
"Check out his butt" Erin said.
"I wish he'd sag them jeans a little so I could get a better look" Shaunee agreed. Hahahah! I was right this is funny! I had to keep my muzzle closed tight for fear I would laugh out loud and ruin everything .I just barked softly.
"Twin, sagging is seriously lame. It's so gang wannabe circa 1990's. Hotties should just say no to it"
"I'd still like to see his butt, Twin" Shaunee said. Then she leaned over and smiled at Zoey "So what do you think? Is he Christian Bale hot or just Toby Maguire hot?" Who's Christian Bale and Toby Maguire and what does their hotness have to do with any thing? Zoey started staring at Stark.
"He's definitely cute", She said
"Ohmygod! I just realized who he is", Jack gasped
I stopped my inward questions and laughing. Oh-no! Oh-no I didn't think anyone would recognize him so fast! I just sat quietly my eyes wide.
"Do tell" Shaunee said
"He's James Stark!" Jake said
"No" Erin said while rolling her eyes "Jacky we already know that" Maybe they wont-
"No, no, no. You don't get it. He's the James Stark who is the best archer in the whole world! Don't you remember reading about him on line" Where would the story of a vampyer archer be online? "He kicked but in the track and field Summer Games this past year. Guys, he competed against grown vamps, actual Sons of Erebus, and he beat them all. He's a star…" Jack trailed off in a mesmerized state. Stark won't see it that way all he see the Games as is the worst day of his life and he as a murderer not a star. His affinity is hard to control though! He trained hard for those Games and I don't think it was just his affinity that helped him win. But all he will see is the accident, only the accident, Will's death. This wont be good. Sigh again.
"Well, slap me and call me impaired, Twin Jacky's right" Erin said
"I knew his hotness was of major proportions" Shaunee said
"Twin, I'm gonna try to like his dog" Erin said.
"Of course we are, Twin" Shaunee said. Hmmm. Hot owner equals people trying to like you. Interesting.
Well when Stark came back they all started staring at him.
"What?" he asked with his mouthful. Then he looked at me "Did she do something while I was gone?" What would I do? "She kinda likes to lick toes." He said. "Hey! Personal information! I'll get him for that too.
"Eesh, that's-" Erin began but Shaunee kicked her under the table
"No, Duchess was a perfect lady whilst you were gone" Shaunee said giving Stark a friendly grin. Stark shifted uncomfortably. I'll get him later but a dog is still man's best friend and I know what he's going through the last few months and I love my owner so- I leaned against his leg and looked up lovingly at him. He smiled and ruffled my ears.
"I remember hearing about how you beat all of those vamps. in archery" Jack blurted then pressed his lips together and turned pink. Ah-oh.
Stark just shrugged and said "Yeah, I'm good at archery"
"Your that fledgling?" Damien said "Good at archery? You're amazing at archery! He said. Please don't continue this topic I doubt that they put on there a vamp. had died at the Games and they don't know about the accident. Stark at this point might hate archery. I don't know anything about that he hasn't said anything.
"Whatever. It's just something I've been good at ever since I was Marked." Starks eyes went to Zoey "Speaking of famous fledglings, I see the rumors about your extra marks are true" he said changing the subject
"It's true" she said. Now Zoey changed the subject "Do you like horses" Horses? Why… oh a subject change for both of them. You know some times an intelligence spell comes in handy even if it was meant for punishment.
"Horses?" Stark smiled sarcastically again
"Yeah, well, you seem like an animal lover," she said and jerked her chin toward me.
"Yeah, I guess I like horses. I like most animals. Except cats" he said. Oh here we go
"Except cats" Jack squeaked
Stark shrugged again "I've never really liked them. They're too witchlike for my tastes."
"Cats are dependent creatures we all know of course, that they have been worshiped in many ancient cultures of the world, but did you know that they were also-" Wow a student teacher he probably knows as much as Clemintine. Zoey got up and excused her self "Uh, guys sorry to interrupt but I have to go see what Aphrodite wants before the Council Meeting. I'll see you there, kay?"
"Yeah, okay"
"I guess"
"Whatever"
Not very nice way to say bye to a friend.
"It was nice to meet you. If you need anything for Duchess, just let me know. There's a good Southern Ag. Not far from here. They carry an extra amount of cat stuff, but I'll bet they have dog stuff to"Zoey said
"I'll let you know" Stark said
then Damien continued the lecture on cats. Stark gave Zoey a wink and nod and she returned his gesture then walked away grinning
