Zoey
When is saw him in the bed. He looked so good. I walked over to him. When I got closer, I could see the bags under his eyes, they were black. He looked so tired. I wondered if he had had any sleep at all. So I decided that I would let him sleep. I wanted to be here for as long as I could.
'Zoey.' He said my name! Was he awake? I looked at him. He was still asleep, he was dreaming about me! The biggest smile spread across my face. I walked closer to him. All that I wanted to do was go up to him and hug him. But he just looked so tired. I couldn't.
There was a chair in the corner of the room. So I went and sat in it. I wasn't tired. Which was good. So I just sat there and watched him sleep. The sun was rising, and the blind was pulled down. He was so reckless. I got up out of the chair and went and shut the blindfold.
The noise seemed to have woken him. 'Zoey?' he asked. I thought he was still asleep. So I just waked back to the chair. 'Zoey?' he repeated again. I looked at him. He was climbing out of the bed and walking over to me. I smiled.
'Hey Warrior.' I said. He looked at me, then the biggest smile that I have seen spread across his face and he ran the rest of the space of the room and pulled me into the biggest hug I had ever had. I hugged him back. It was so good to be back in his arms after being out of them for so long.
'I have missed you so much. It hasn't been the same going to bed without you snoring or kicking me.' He smiled the cocky grin I loved.
'I do not snore.' I said. But I laughed and hugged him again. 'I missed you so much!' I said. He pulled me more tightly against him and kissed the top of my head.
'Are you back now?' he asked. I knew what he meant.
'No. but I have most of my marks back now.' I smiled.
'Which ones?' he asked. I lifted up my shirt and turned around.' Their from Erik.' I heard his jaw clench. I turned around and he looked so sad. I stepped towards him and looked up into his eyes. 'Why are you being so silly?' I asked. 'You know how I feel about Erik.'
'I know. But you and he have a history together. You used to like him; you might change your mind.' He wasn't looking into my eyes. So I put my hand on his cheek and made him look into my face.
'I won't change my mind. You know I don't like him like that anymore. I told you. I have feelings for someone else.' I smiled. I thought that he would realise that I was talking about him. But he didn't. He misunderstood.
'What? Come on Z! Can you not see? I'm crazy for you! I have been since I first met you! I thought you knew that.' He turned away from me and was heading to the door. I grabbed his wrist and made him turn back.
'You are a very silly Warrior. I thought you knew. I meant you. You idiot.' I took a step towards him and smiled. He smiled back. He pulled me into a really tight hug. I put my face up towards him and he leaned down and kissed me.
'I think i'm in love with you.' He said. I couldn't help but smile.
'I think that i'm in love with you.' I said. He smiled and pulled me against him. We walked back over to the bed and sat there together. I was in his arms and he was just hugging me. It felt so nice. I had missed his hugs.
'I missed you a lot. I really wanted to see you. I was as quick as I could be with Aphrodite, then it took loads of attempts to get to you. I kept getting really excited and needing to let my mind go blank.' He laughed.
'I missed you a lot to. So. I have a piece of your soul huh?' he asked. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that the cocky grin was there.
'Of course. You will always have a piece of my soul and of my heart.' He smiled.
'You need to drink from me right?' he asked. I was suddenly really nervous. I wondered if he could feel my emotions.
'You don't need to be nervous.' Oh, he could hear my emotions. I turned red. He laughed.
'Can you hear my emotions?' I asked him.
'no.' he said and smiled.
'Then how do you know i'm nervous?' I asked.
'I can tell. You chew your lip.' He smiled. 'Now. Drink from me.'
'Cant I just sit here for a while?' I asked. I was perfectly happy to just sit here.
'Drink and then when you're back properly you can.' He said. It was so tempting.
'Fine.' I wanted to drink from him, but I was nervous. While I had been thinking, he had slid his nail over his neck and was now bleeding. My eyes saw the red line and I went straight to it.
His blood was like an explosion in my mouth. It was so much better than Heaths had been. I felt my chest heat up; I knew that I had my soul back. But I just didn't want to stop.
I heard him moan in pleasure. I really didn't want to stop. But I knew that I had to. So I told my brain heal and licked the cut. It turned into a pink line.
I pulled back. Stark was smiling at me. 'What?' I asked.
'Nothing.' But he had a huge grin on his face.
'No. what?' I asked.
'I can feel your emotions.' He was so pleased by this fact.
'Oh great. That's not going to be annoying at all.' I said. He laughed.
'Yeah. But it means that you soul is back together. You can return to your body.' He smiled. This face clearly pleased him a lot. I smiled at him.
'I got my marks back' I said. I knew that I had. I had felt them return.
'When?' he asked.
'When do you think?' I asked. He was so stupid.
'Yeah. I know that. But I felt your emotions half way through. That means your soul was together quite a while before you stopped.' When he said this I turned red. 'Having to much fun were you?' he asked. He had his cocky grin firmly in place.
'Yes. I had fun. I most probably should have stopped before I did. But, what are you going to do about it?' I asked. I smiled at him, a cheeky smile.
'Oh. Nothing. I'm glad you had fun.' He smiled. 'Was my blood better than Eric's?' why did he do this? This was so silly of him.
'Stark, don't do this. I dumped Eric because he was being to overprotective and bossy. I don't like bossy guys.'
'Z. come on. You have to see why i'm like this.' He said. I could, but he didn't need to be.
'Yeah I can. But you don't need to be. I told you. I love you. Not Erik. You. Now. If you're going to be silly. I will leave.' I got up to leave, but he caught my wrist and spun me around back to him.
'I'm sorry. I'm being silly. But, how good was my blood?' he was teasing me. So I decided that I would tease him.
'I've had better' I said. His smile stopped. 'I'm just kidding with you. It was very good.' The smile returned.
'Some of the best you've had?' he was being so silly and competitive.
'Yes. It is defiantly some of the best.' I said.
'In your top 3?' he asked. He was being silly.
'It is in my top 2.' I said.
'Am I number 1 or 2?' he asked. I didn't want to answer. Because heath was my number 2. Heath had always been my number 1. 'Z. if you don't want to answer. You don't have to.' He was so sweet. It made me want to answer.
'It was the best i've ever had. It was better than Heaths.' I said. It was sad that heath still had lost to a Vampyre. He would be really sad.
'How can it be better than Heaths? He was your imprinted human. His blood was the best blood you could have.' He asked but I had no idea.
'I don't know. It just was. Ok?' I didn't like the fact that heath had come into the conversation.
'Ok Z. now. How do you get back to your body?' I didn't have a clue.
'I don't know. But I think that I need to go to Nyx.' I got out of his lap. He stood up. I kissed him on the cheek.
'Stay here. I need to clear my mind. Then i'm going. I love you.' I kissed him on the lips.
'Ok. Hurry back to me.' I turned and left. When I walked out the door I shut my eyes. I let my mind go blank. I thought of one thing. Nyx. My goddess. I felt the world spin around me. Then my feet found the ground again.
I opened my eyes. I was in a palace. It was beautiful.
'Hello Zoey Redbird.' The voice came from behind me.
'Nyx!' I said.
'You have done well to get your soul back. You will return to your body now, and you must then banish Kalona.'
'Thank you Nyx.'
'When you go back. You will have a new gift.'
'Wow! What is it?' I asked. I was so excited.
'You and your warrior will be able to communicate silently. You will be connected through your minds. I think that this is a gift that will come in useful for you and your warrior. You will need this in the future. So you must learn how to use it.' Wow. This was so cool.
'Thank you.' I said.
'Your welcome. Now go back to your body and your warrior.'
I shut my eyes and thought of myself. I just thought my body. I felt the world spin. Then I was laying down on something. When I opened my eyes, I was on a bed. Erin and Shaunee, Jack and Damien, Darius and Aphrodite and Stark.
'Hey' I said. They all stared at me.
'Your back!!' they all ran and hugged me. Everyone except my warrior. I decided now would be a good time to try our communication.
Hello handsome. I thought. I was looking at him. I saw the surprise look on his face. I smiled.
Hello beautiful. I heard back. I smiled at him.
Now come over here and give me a hug! He smiled. But he came over and gave me a hug. Thank you. I thought back to him
How are we doing this? He asked me.
It was a gift from the goddess. She said that we might need it in the future.
He looked unsure at this. Stop panicking. We'll come to it when we do. Now let's go to your room. You promised after I came back I could sit in your lap and have a hug! He laughed. I leapt down off the bed and we left the room hand in hand.
When we were in his room we went and sat on the bed together. I sat in his lap.
I think I'm going to go and have a shower. I must stink. He laughed.
You do smell a bit. But I don't mind. I smiled at him.
'Yeah, well I do.' I went for a shower. When I got out, I realised that I didn't have any clothes. I was thinking about going out there in my towel, but then I remememberd our new gift.
Hey. Errm, can you get me some clothes? I don't have any. I could hear him laughing from the other room.
If you want to come out without any, that is fine by me.
Just go and get my clothes. I thought. He was so one track minded.
