Chapter 11 Zoey.

"I dont love Kalona. And I never made love to him at all! Ever!" i said as tears were running down my face wich Stark quickly wiping them away.

"I know Zoeybird."

"Then why did Neferet say so?"Stark said

"If i new then i would tell you. But Neferet hasnt been on my path for awhile and i cant contact her like i can with all of my other vamps and fledglings." Nyx paused and then added. "Zoey you musnt be left alone. Espicially when your sleeping."

"I know." i said

"Dont worry Nyx. I promise that i'll never leave Zoey again and i'l keep her safe from Kalona." I smiled up at Stark. Then a thought hit me.

"Do we still go to Venice?" I asked .

"You will need to figure that out for yourselves. I dont choose your paths. Each and every fledgling and vampyre of mine have there own free will to do what ever they want."Nyx started to shimmer and waver.

"Nyx, dont go! what if i need your help? What if Kalona somehow tricks me into loving him? What i-" I started but Nyx put her hand up to silence me.

"Dont worry so much Zoeybird. I beleive in you, your friends believe in you. All you need to do is trust your and your group of fledglings are wise beond your years. Remember that Zoeybird." Then Nyx was completly gone.

"Well hell. This is gonna be some ride." I said.

"Hey, like Nyx said 'I believe in you, your friends believe in you and all you need to do is trust your instincts.' Kalona wont get to you Zoey. I wont let him. Plus Neferet's dead so all we have to do is just worry 'bout Kalona." Stark told me as held me tight in his strong Heath like arms. I started to cry because up entill now i hadnt even thought of Heath.

"Hey, whats wrong?" Stark asked

"I -i just..." I broke off, not knowing how to tell Stark that i missed Heath. I mean Stark is kinda my boyfriend and i dont know how he was gonna react to the fact that my humman boyfriend, life long friend and consort had just died.

"You miss Heath?" I didnt hear any jelousy in his voice, i just heard concirn. I nodded my head.

"Hey, I want you to know that im not jelous of what you and Heath had. And im not mad at him for loving you when i love you too. And plus i know how much you hated it when Erik and Heath would fight. And if you need to talk, about anything, im hear for you." How did i deserve him? All i had ever done was break my imprint with Heath, get a new imprint with Loren Blake (who i also lost my virginity too) get Erik to break up with me, hide the fact that Stevie Rae was alive to all of my friends, and now bring Heath to Italy and he gets killed! Just when i tought i cry any harder, i surprised myself (and Stark) by crying tripple time. I could hardly breath with al the sobbing going on!

Stark was whispering soothing words to me, that i really appreciated (but didnt help and just made me cry more!) He rubbed soothing circles on my back and rocked me back and forth.

I had just started to calm down, (not alot but a bit.) when Stevie Rae came into the Infermery and said: "Zoey, Kramisa just called and, well we have a new Red Fledgling and he's on his way here."

CLIFFHANGER!!! MWAAA HAHAHAHAHA!!!
