Zoey
It was long before Darius had run up from Aphrodite's room and threw me carefully onto my back and followed behind the angry Raven Mocker and my Warrior. Darius wrapped my legs around his torso so i could keep hold of him while he pulled out his gun, My arms were tight against his throat but like i've noticed about Vampires, They didn't care much about breathing.
" They will try to go after you Priestess... But if Stevie Rae is injured or Dallas as well.. they might not have as much time as it takes to get back to the tunnel to be healed... You should come" Darius said gently to me as he ran beside Stark now, Starks worried eyes turned towards mine but her nodded once.
" How are you feeling Zo?" He asked as we ran behind Rephaim who was just ahead of us flying a few feet from the ground.
" I'm fine... Help him find Stevie Rae" I said quickly and pointed to Rephaim who growled out a hissing shriek and dropped to the ground. "Rephaim!" I heard myself shriek, Watching the man hug his side.
" They are hurting her!" His voice growled in anger as he forced himself to stand straight again. Stark and Darius moved me onto Stark's back as Darius moved with Rephaim. But when we finally came closer i could hear the loud hackling of the other Raven Mocker. They were all piled together under a street light. Rephaim didn't miss a beat, he saw his opening and went for it seeing all the Raven Mockers were occupied on pulling things apart... Stevie Rae...
" No!" I screamed and jumped off Starks back quickly. " Fire..Water...Earth.. Spirit.. i need you!" I shouted feeling spirit lunge towards me. I sent the message to the twins... Earth of course i could use myself as well.. But... "Earth... Protect Stevie Rae and Dallas from harm until we can get them out of this!" i cried as Stark hissed and grabbed his bow from his back, aiming and shooting and aiming again. Darius was shooting down the bird men and Rephaim was in the air with a few others. From time to time he attempted to get closer to the pile of Raven birds. Then i spotted what looked like Stevie Rae's winter Jacket being torn to bits. Turning around a few times i found myself alone, Stark had been forced to move away from me and Darius was on the other side of the Pile, Rephaim was in the sky. Turning my eyes back to the pile I brought spirit to me once again. This was my chance to shine.. i had to save Stevie Rae and Dallas. " Go Away!" I screamed and threw a ball of spirit towards them. The pile erupted and a few Raven Mockers turned their eyes on me. Red orbs glaring in hatred. I gasped when three of the raven Mockers took flight and charged for me. Forcing me to duck once before turning and running down the sidewalk.
" Zoey No!" I Heard Stark scream as he ran towards me with an arrow on his bow ready to hit a target. I turned my head over my shoulder to him but screamed when one of the Raven Mocker's collided into me, his Beak stabbing through my right shoulder. I didn't realize i was screaming until my throat began to ache along with my shoulder. The Raven Mocker continued to stab and slash towards my face as i blindly shielded my face from his beak, The sharp point stabbing through my left arm several times going through the bone. I could hear my warrior screaming in Agony just a few yards away. With all the force i could i used my feet to kick bird boy away from me, My eyes locking on the Raven Mocker that was clawing at Stark.
" NO!" my voice cracked as i sprang towards the Raven Mocker, Ignoring my useless left arm as i plowed into the large figure, we rolled along the asphalt ground, the gravel ripping at my skin and clothing until i was ontop of the creature i grabbed his beak quickly and slammed the back of his head against the pavement before looking up in shock. The Raven Mocker that had stabbed my shoulder was charging again. I turned my eyes to see Stark's motionless body on the ground and over to Darius who too was being attack but continued to shoot and reload and shoot. I was defenseless now... i knew i'd be taken by this one. I slid off the now unconscious Raven Mocker and rolled to the side out of the other's way as he charged and tripped over his brother. But my reflexes were slowing as i continued to bleed. As i turned to get ready to fight the Raven Mocker collided into me once again. But i heard two girls Scream my name before one of them shouted.
" Aim for the Raven Mocker Shaunee if you miss you'll hit Zoey!" It was Erin.. oh That goddess... they are here... I felt heat around me waver before the Raven Mocker cought fire ontop of me. It was Rephaim who swooped down, grabbed his burning brother and tossed him off me before helping me up. " Get him Get him!" I hear Erin Scream and point to Rephaim.
" NO! DON'T He's with us!" I screamed and wrapped my arms around the man with wings, feeling his throat growl before he whispered.
"Stevie Rae..." Of course.. how could i have forgotten, quickly i pushed away from him and ran towards the two motionless bodies that rested in pools of blood under the light.
" Darius! Get Stark Back to the Tunnels!" I called as I ran. Spotting the blond curls that laid under a large ripped up body... Dallas. " Oh Goddess No.. Dallas!" I groaned out and pulled the limp boy off of Stevie Rae, Who has large slash wounds on her back. Dallas was a complete mess. I was about to move over to check Stevie Rae's Pulse when Rephaim pulled her into his arms. His shaking hand touching her pale cheek. Never in my life had i seen such an agonized expression. My heart began to burn for the Raven Mocker... But he wasn't a Raven Mocker anymore... just... an immortal being like Kalona.. only on our side... I heard a tiny shriek come from his throat as he felt Stevie Rae for a pulse, Her left arm bent in an odd direction and her front half too was cut up.
" She's breathing... we have to get them to the school... its closer..." Rephaim said through clenched teeth while placing his hand to Dallas's Neck and nodded once, confirming that he too was breathing. He hugged Stevie Rae closer to him before looking to me with worried eyes. " Priestess...Your injured badly..." He looked to my right shoulder and then to my broken left forearm.
" we have to get these three to the school...." I said and stood up slowly, looking to Darius who supported Stark as my Warrior looked up with one eye and groaned seeing me injured, He pushed away from Darius and moved over to me, Cupping my Cheeks and brushing away the tears before we helped each other. "Shaunee.. Erin... Help me support him.. Darius get Dallas..." I said as I groaned out in pain and looked over to Rephaim who was standing with my best friend limp in his strong arms. For now Rephaim had my life in his hands... i owed him for next time we came into trouble... he didn't have to save me but he did.
