Chapter 7:

As I awoke I stretched out and realised that I was lying on a bed. This bed was soft but it wasn't one that I remembered. I opened my eyes and looked around me, the walls were white like a hospitals and the bed also had a white frame with little rose patterns engraved. I didn't realise that people were standing over me watching every move I made. I felt defensive as I looked at these peoples faces. Stark was in my face in an instance and I moved away shocked that someone would come so close. Then I realised who I was and where I was. No Kalona. My memory started to come back to me; I remembered why I had gone to the dark side and what had happened there. I couldn't believe that I was falling in love with the 'bad guy' I think that ill just blame it on Aya, but its not really the right thing to do.

Remember who you are flashed around me like it had done when I was in the black swirl after I had 'fainted' and followed Heath and after… he had died. I remembered who I was and what I still had to do. That all must have been a dream with Kalona, nut something told me it wasn't only the part with Neferet, I could feel her presence around the place which meant she was still here somewhere. Oh well although that was a problem I had to put it to the back of my head, I had to find a way of killing Kalona as well. Hang on they could both be as bad as each other, actually they were probably just as bad as the other. Oh well. My friends were staring at me weirdly as if I had grown something on my head.

"What" breath I told myself.

"You ok?' I wasn't sure if this was a question but I answered anyway.

"I'm fine Stark" he didn't look like he believed me, "really I'm fine".

I knew he still didn't believe me "you collapsed, you know and hit your head pretty badly" I moved my head and I could feel the throbbing pain that sat in the back of my skull. I looked around and saw that everyone was there including Aphro… she fell to the floor with a bang and I could tell that she was having a vision. I stood up and sent everyone out of the room so I cupid talk to her while she was having the vision. Everyone stood up and went out not wanting to. I walked to where she sat, her face was blank as she watched this vision, then all of a sudden a scream was sent into the air, It made me jump in shock.

"Aphrodite, talk to me. What is happening?"

A frown showed on her face as she stared at me like she could see right through to my soul. But I was too late as she sat up and looked into what were probably frightened eyes. "You!!!" she shrieked at me. "You wouldn't!!!" she yelled. I backed away and yelled for Stark and Darius. They rushed in Stark at my feet with Darius at Aphrodites who was still trying to shrieking at me. This scared me a lot. Stark stood in a protective stance infront of me and like someone was going to come into the room and try to kill me like in a horror movie apart from the fact that someone was shrieking at me instead of the shrieking music you would find in Psycho.

I didn't realise it but tears streamed down my face, man I had missed a lot since being in Tulsa like lessons the food and the comfort of my friends and also knowing everything was ok. Oh and lets not forget my non diet brown pop, where was Stevie Rae when I needed her.

As soon as I saw Zoeys eyes open I ran straight to her and stood infront of her face looking straight into her eyes. I was really worried about her, I had been pacing up and down the floor space for two days, I didn't like seeing something happen to her especially as she was stone cold on a hospital like bed worthy of a high priestess. I loved her so much and she knew it somewhere deep inside, it was nice to see her awake finally, but I got a different reaction to what I expected from her, as she saw me she flinched away like I was going to hit her or something. I jumped back shocked but recovered quickly.

"What" she asked me angrily, this seriously annoyed me because I had no idea of what I had done wrong or anyone else that is.

"You ok" I asked.

"I'm fine" she told me but I didn't believe her one bit, but I had to act as though I did, but she knew what I knew. "Really I'm fine" she gave her best reassuring look. I stepped back.

"You collapsed and hit your head really badly" I told her. She looked like she was in serious pain and I wanted to help sooth her but didn't know how to do so. What could I do. All of a sudden there was a bang and Aphrodite was lying on the floor unconciouse looking apart from the fact that her eyes were open. Zoey stood quickly and I could feel her pain as if it were my own.

"Get out" she yelled to everyone as she crouched over Aphrodite, even while they were angry at each other I knew zoey still cared about her. We went out everyone grumbling at her, seriously what was up with her. We went out side the room and spoke quietly to one another, we were talking for two minutes until we heard shrieking coming from inside the room. Then I heard her scream my name and Dariuses name being called and we sprinted in there and stood over our beloveds .
