Hey guys this is a faster update than I expected. I am updating before I go on my trip. So here you go.
Chapter 10
Selene POV.
I woke up to the sweet yet loud sound of Lady Antebellum playing 'I Need You Now' I turned it down a little bit so it would not irritate my delicate hearing. Hearing this song I couldn't help but to think of Erik and how much I needed him right now. How much I needed him to tell me that he didn't have sex with Erin or that they didn't kiss which I knew were all lies so there was no point in him saying that because in time I would be mad that he had lied to me. The thing that kept coming into my mind was the only thing that I actually cared about knowing. Did he like it? Did he feel anything when they did things together or was It just sex. I slipped out of my bed. I grabbed my towel, white shorts, lime green tank top and matching flip flops. I walked into the bathroom. I placed all of the items onto the counter. I plugged out my headphones so that my music was blaring loudly. I restarted the song. I stepped into the freezing cold shower. The water was pouring swiftly onto my skin giving my goosebumps because it was that cold. I closed my eyes and let the music begin to take me away with it.
Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone cause, I can't fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
I washed off my face because it was as if this song was about Erik and I. I in visioned all the pictures that we had taken laid out onto the floor of my room. I also remembered how much I thought about him while I was being held captive and how the memory of him and our daughter was the only thing that kept me fighting to get away from Jordan. But while I was fighting for 15 years he was busy being in love with Erin.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I was all alone right now. There was no one I wanted to talk to in this moment more than I wanted to talk to Erik. My Erik. My soul mate. My best friend. My world. It was like being without him again. I felt the ripple effect just as I had the night when Jordan came for me. I felt the pull of the invisible string that connected us. It was pulling us away as if it would break at any moment. But this time that pull was so much stronger and felt like it would truly brake.
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
I poked my head through the shower curtain and looked at the door. I hoped that something, anything would pull him to me right now but it was just a hope.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk, Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
And I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.
I know that Erik is feeling all that I am feeling right now and I do not care. He should feel the pain that is going through my body. The hate, anger, disappointment and so much more that it was hard to sum it up into a few words. If I didn't have him in my life what would I do? Who would I become? Will I live long enough to even find out? I mean this pain is excruciating. It made me want to fall in on myself and die. But I couldn't die. Not yet anyway. I had to fight this pain for Erey she needed me and its wrong of me to be so selfish. I stepped out of the shower. I quickly got dressed and put on a little makeup. I walked out of the bathroom and into my room. I placed my towel inside of the laundry hamper. I walked into the hall way of the dorm. I could feel people looking at me but I just brushed it off as if it were nothing. "S!" Someone called from behind me. I did not turn around I just kept walking because I did not want them to see how red and puffy my eyes were. "Selene!" The voice called again. I continued to act like I didn't hear it. "I know you can hear me." Damn it. I wiped my eyes. I turned around and Stark was standing there.
"What Star?"
"Are you okay? You've been crying whats wrong?" He was asking me the normal protective brother questions.
"Nothing Star. Everything is just peachy." I gave him a short fake smile that I know didn't reach my eyes.
"Liar."
"I know but I don't wanna talk about it." I turned on my heels.
"S." Stark said quietly.
"Leave it alone." My voice was dark and threatening. I didn't look back at Stark but I knew he was in shock about the way I had acted. It made me feel very empowered for the first time in a long time. I was standing up for myself and doing what I wanted to do. It was like a dark evil bug had bit me. I felt stronger like if anyone got in my way I would kill them strong. I loved this feeling because it wasn't like any other feeling I had ever had in my body. The rage was bubbling inside of me and all I wanted to do was let it out and I didn't care who I let it out on. I ran down the stairs. I was in the common room. Erik was talking to Becca and Erey was sitting on a couch with Michael.
"Mom." Erey said. She was staring at me as if she was truly seeing who Selene was for the first time.
"Yeah?"
"Your glowing." She said. I looked down at my bare arms and my night warrior tattoos along with my goddess and daughter of Nyx tattoos were glowing. Oh goddess this wasn't good. I was in a complete rage state and anyone that would dare step in my way would die.
"Michael take Erey and leave. Go far away." I said as my eyes locked with Becca's.
"Mom." Erey said as Michael was tugging at her to leave with him.
"Go now!" I hissed at her. Her eyes were starting to swell with water.
"Mommy." She said silently.
"Erey go." I looked at her. My eyes were pleading her, begging her to just do as I asked. She sighed and left the dorm with Michael.
"Hey Selene glad your back." Becca said. You could see the sweat start to form on her forehead. Her leg was shaking. I was making her nervous.
"Yeah thanks." I said. "Why are you still here? I mean your a vampire now." I asked. My tone was dull because I didn't care much for her answer.
"Erik called me last night. He said that he needed a friend to talk to." She smiled at Erik. Her cheeks started to get a little rosy colour in them.
"He called you." I finally looked away from Becca to stare at Erik. I could feel my pupils start to disappear. The warrior in me was beginning to be unleashed.
"Its not what you think S." He said holding his hands up.
"Shut up!" I yelled. I looked back at Becca. My eyes were blazing red and my body was burning up.
"Selene calm down." Erik said.
"Silence." I said in my most powerful voice. "Why did you come?" I asked Becca.
"To see Erik." She smiled and took his hand. I stared at her hands intertwining with his.
"Why is that?"
"Well he called me. Plus we have been having this on and off relationship for 15 years." She smiled. There was a sparkle in her eyes when she said 15 years.
"Damn it Becca shut up." Erik said.
"You didn't tell her that we were together Erik?" Becca asked him.
"Of course not because were not together."
"But we are Erik." She said.
"No were not. I am with Selene." He looked over at me and smiled. "I'll always be with her."
"No." Becca said. She was like in some form of shock.
"Yes." Erik said. Becca was shaking her head.
"No." I said. They both looked over at me. I slid the sliver ring that Erik had put onto my finger off.
"What?" Erik asked.
"I'm tired Erik." I shook my head. "I'm tired of feeling like I come last in your heart while you come first in mine. I'm tired of all the games. You might want to play a game still but I don't so I quit." I shook my head. I was starting to calm down and go out of warrior mode. "This." I pointed from him to Becca. "Seems to be happening a lot with Erin and now Becca."
"It won't happen ever again." He begged.
"No it will. How many other girls are there Erik?" He stayed quiet so I took that as there were a lot more girls. I was trying to fight back tears. "I was never enough for you was I?"
"No you were Selene. Hell you were more than enough."
"Stop it. Do not feed me that bullshit." I spat the words out of my mouth. "Goddess how could I be so stupid. Time and time again I see you with other girls and I still come back to you. I should have learned not to go back to a cheater." I took two steps backwards.
"Selene." Erik walked towards me and tried to grab my hand but I slapped him so he backed away from me.
"Do not touch me ever again Erik." I turned around. "Thanks for all the wasted moments in my life that I thought were special. That I thought marked our start of forever lasting love. Thanks for making me look like an utter fool. For breaking my heart once again." I glanced back at him. "I'm done Erik." I looked over at Becca now. "Have him. He's all your because I don't want the trash." I turned my back on both of them before I walked out of the dorm to go and find Erey.
Erey POV.
I had never seen my mother so mad in the time that I have known her. I thought that she was just a sweet, nice, perfect person but I had forgotten what I knew about her. I let the way she looks change what I had learned in class. She was the most powerful person dead, alive, spirit or anything. She could kill with a single thought. My mother was powerful and when mad she lashed out. I took a deep breath. Michael and I were sitting underneath the huge oak tree. "Its going to be okay." Michael said as he wrapped his arms around me.
"I hope so." I sighed. His embrace was comforting. I could feel his concern, love and care. That was why he was my best friend. He always knew what I needed and when I needed it. "Do you think that there going to break up again?" I asked him after a few moments of silence had passed again.
"I dunno Ere. What do you think?"
"I think that my mom is strong. I think that she loves my dad and he loves her. But I also think that there love is way to strong and powerful for them to be together."
"Why is that?"
"Well in Vamp. History the textbook says Selene and Erik have gone through so much. There love grew to become so powerful that anyone who got in between them would perish. So if they aren't together no one can die because then no one will truly be coming in between them." I said in my smart ass voice.
"You know you just confused me." Michael laughed.
"I know." I giggled along side him.
Zoey POV.
Stark and I were walking back onto campus hand in hand when I started to get this feeling of pain inside of me. I crumpled over. "Z whats wrong?" Stark asked.
"I'm not sure. Maybe I just need blood." I said trying to think of what could possibly be wrong.
"Okay well the dinning hall is just over there." Stark lifted me up bridal style. He ran with me clinging to his nicely chiseled chest. "Almost there Z." He said as I made little sounds of pain.
"Is that Michael and Erey?" I asked him. The were sitting by the oak tree.
"Yeah it is." Stark said. "Micheal's pain?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I said nodding. Stark put me back onto the ground. We walked over to our son.
"Hey mom and dad." He said when he saw us standing over him. I waved.
"Hi Star. Hi Z." Erey said.
"Hey sweetie." Stark said to his niece. "Whats wrong?" He asked her.
"My got really mad. Becca came back again. She saw them."
"And she told you to go away." Stark finished. Erey nodded.
"Poppy." I swore. Everyone looked up at me and laughed. "I'm serious guys we need to find S. she isn't going to be very stable." I said.
"Your right." Stark said. "Michael you and Ere go and check on Erik he should be where you left him. Z and I will try and locate S and bring her back without anyone getting hurt." I nodded because Stark's plans were always so full proof and I had so much trust and faith in him. "Go now and hurry." Stark and I took off running in the direction of the East building.
Hope you liked it.
Hint: Someone will die soon but who?
Please review.
Love you all
Lat :)
