Zoey
We were all sat around the table, laughing and joking, it was great, it felt like things were back to how they used to be. I was actually having a really good time, it felt like it had been so long since we had just had fun and been like this.
Just when I was having a really good time, the door and opened and in came Kalona. What was it with him and ruining my fun? He stood in the doorway with Neferet by his side.
I got up out of my chair and walked over to him. 'What do you want?' I asked him, I put as much hate into my voice as I could.
'I'm just here to make sure that you are safe.' He said.
'Well I am. You have checked, you can leave now.' I said to him. I really hoped that he would just turn and leave, but I knew in my brain that he wouldn't.
'Not just yet. I think that I will stay a while. I have missed you. It feels like we have been apart for a very long time. I think that we should sit down and have a talk.' He said. He wanted to come in? As if.
'I'm sorry. I don't think that that is a good idea. I don't feel the need for a chat. I am pretty happy with the way things are. So, as I said, you can leave.' I told him again. At that moment I felt Stark come up behind me and take my hand in his. I looked into his eyes and grinned at him.
'I will see you later.' I said to Kalona and turned to Stark. 'You ready warrior?' I asked him.
'Yeah. Come on. We've got things to do.' He said. I laughed.
'I like the sound of that' I winked at him. I heard someone clear their throat. I turned to see who it was; I saw that Kalona was still stood in the doorway with an appalled look on his face.
'Like I said. You can leave' I told him.
'You know what, I don't think I will.' He said. He took a step toward me. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there. Then I remembered the mental connection me and Stark had.
What do I do? I asked him. I had no clue; I was still just standing there.
Stand still for now, he will come closer in a second. Just stand your ground, if you move he will think he has scared you. He said back to me, but I didn't want to stand still, I didn't want Kalona near to me. But I did what Stark told me.
Kalona took another step closer towards us. His face was just inches away from me. I could feel the breath on his face. Neferet was stood next to him. She didn't seem to like the closeness between me and Kalona.
'What do you want?' I asked Kalona. He smiled.
'I am perfectly happy just standing still. Right here.' he said. Well, that was useful.
Stark? I called to him in my head.
Just stay there; I don't know what he wants. But don't worry, i'm here. He can't hurt you.
I really hoped that Stark was right. Kalona was still just standing there.
'If you don't mind, I have things to be doing.' I told him. I wanted him to back off. I thought about calling the elements to me and pushing him back, but I didn't want him to think that I was scared.
'Oh. Well, in that case, I had better leave you too it.' Kalona said. Huh, so that was all it took? If I had known that earlier, I would have done it earlier. 'I shall come back to see you tonight.' Kalona said.
Oh crap. He was going to come to my dream. I didn't want him in my dream. I was tired from last nights dream. I knew he was trying to weaken me.
'Goodbye.' I said. He turned and walked to Neferet and took her hand, they left together. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at me as he walked out the door.
'Pheww. I wonder what that was about.' I said. I turned around and took Starks hand and we walked back to the table.
'I don't know. But he said he was going to come back tonight. What do you think that means?' Aphrodite asked.
'He came into my dream last night; I think he means that he is going to come back again tonight.' I told them.
'But, you slept with Stark, how did he get in there?' Jack asked.
'He says that as long as he is truthful, he can come into my dreams. This isn't the first time he has been able to do it.' I told them. I told them all about the stuff that I had told them about when I had slept with Heath.
'Just don't listen to him.' Damien said. Did he really think it was that simple? I shrugged at them. Stark squeezed my hand.
They seemed to know that I didn't want to continue.
'Has anybody spoken to Stevie Rae?' I asked them.
'Err; I spoke to her the other day. But not since then' Aphrodite said.
'I think I might ring her. You never know, Karishma might have another poem.' I said. I hoped she did, we really needed some help now. We had no idea how to get rid of Kalona.
So I went back to my room and picked up my phone. When I flipped it up it said that I had 5 missed calls and 7 new texts. I looked at them. Most were from Stevie Rae. I dialled her number.
'Hello?' it was so nice to hear her Okie accent.
'Hey Stevie Rae.' I said.
'Zoey! Are you ok?' she asked me.
'I'm fine. Just seeing how everything is back at Tulsa?' I asked her.
'It is all ok here. Everyone is still under Kalona's spell though' she said.
'Ok. Has Karishma's had another poem?' I asked. I crossed my fingers; I really hoped that she had.
'Yeah, she did. I completely forget to tell you about It.' she said. Thank goddess, maybe there was some hope left. 'I just feel that I should warn you, it doesn't seem like it is going to be easy.' She said. Wow, that had me worried.
'Ok. Just give me a minute to get a pen and paper', I wanted to be able to tell the others about it. I rummaged in a draw and found a pen; I looked into eh other draws and found some paper.
'Ok. What is it?' I asked her.
'The important day is soon to be,
There will be a fight,
She may then be set free,
She who is their one and only light.
The battle will be hard,
Some will not make it,
Even though she has a guard,
When her throat is slit.
She will come back,
As long as she has enough strength,
Their hopes will crack,
She won't be gone for a length.
She will always return,
When she does he will suffer,
She will make him burn,
She will be even tougher.'
Well, that didn't seem that good for me.
'Ok. Well. Thanks Stevie Rae. I'll ring you back later.' I told her.
'Be careful Zo.' She said to me.
'You too' I said. I didn't want anything to happen to her.
I left and went out into the kitchen to the others. I guess that I must have been white, because they came up to me straight away.
'Zo. What's wrong?' Stark asked me immediately.
'Karishma's has done another poem.' I told them. I got the piece of paper out of my pocket and read it to them.
'Well, the first bit is obvious, there is going to be a battle.' Aphrodite said.
'Yeah. I agree' I said.
'The second bit is that A-ya is going to manage to come to take over Z. you're the light.' Jack said.
'The third bit is clear, this battle is going to be big, and some of us are going to die.' Damien said. When he said this, we all looked around at each other. We were all friends, none of us wanted to lose andbody.
'The fourth bit is also clear, somehow, my throat is going to be slit.' I said. I looked straight at Stark.
'I won't let that happen.' He said.
'It's not on you. It says that I will come back, as long as I am strong enough. The next bit says that I won't be gone for long' I said.
'The next bit is obvious too, It says that when you come back. You will know how to kill him. It says that you will burn him.' Shaunee said.
I walked up to Stark. 'It is not all on you. I am going to come back. I will be strong enough to kill him. I am going to finish this. The only thing that you have to do is making sure that you don't get hurt.' I told him.
I seemed to have reminded him about something that had happened earlier.
'Darius. Can I have a word with you?' he said. I then realised what I had reminded him of. He was going to talk to Darius to say if anything happens to him then to make sure that I don't kill myself.
'Of course.' He came over to Stark. I hoped Stark wasn't going to do this with everyone listening.
'In private?' he asked him. I sent him a silent message thank you. I said to him. I smiled at him. He smiled back and then he and Darius left.
'What is all that about?' Aphrodite asked.
'Nothing. Just something about me.' I told them. They laughed.
'Everything to do with Stark is to do with you.' Shaunee and Erin said, and then they started laughing.
'Well said twin' Shaunee said.
Then Stark and Darius came back in. Darius looked at me. Oh great, if something happened to Stark, Darius was going to make it so much harder to get to be with Stark.
Stark came over to me. 'Come on. You look tired.' He said to me and he led me into the bedroom.
'Why did you do that?' I asked him.
'Do what?' he seemed worried, he knew that he had done something to upset me.
'Telling Darius. If you're gone, then when Kalona is, I am going to follow you. I want to be wherever you are.' I told him.
'Zo. You're being stupid. I don't want you to die, just because i'm gone. You can go on living.' He said. Did he not understand, I didn't want to live if he didn't?
'So if I died, after all of this. When Kalona is gone and everything, I die, maybe a raven mocker kills me because of all this with Kalona, you are going to just carry on and find someone else?' I asked him.
'That's different. You're my high priestess, i'm linked to your soul.' he said.
'Exactly, why should one rule apply to me, and not to you?' I asked him.
'Just because.' He told me. Uggh. He was so annoying.
'Yeah yeah. I'm annoying. Whatever.' He said. He was being really stupid, why should he get a different rule?
'anyway, Darius said that if something does happen to me, then if Kalona has been killed and everything is sorted, and if you feel that you just cant continue to live without me, then he wont stop you from doing what you want to do. Which is really pointless, and annoying, I thought he was going to agree with me. But he didn't.' yes, oh thank god, I still had a chance then. I grinned.
'Don't look so happy. I don't want anything to happen to you.' He said. He was quite pissed off that Darius wasn't going to try and keep me alive.
'Hey, as long as you concentrate on making sure that your safe, then it shouldn't come to anything. I just don't want to lose you.' I told him, I don't know what I would do if I lost him. He grinned and me and pulled me into a tight hug.
'You're not going to lose me.' He whispered in my ear. I turned around so that I was facing him and started to kiss him. Before I knew it I was on the bed with him on top of me, I thought that I was finally going to get my way, but then he started to pull back out, so I pulled him back down. I sent him a silent thought.
Not this time, we are doing what I want
If that is what you really want
It is. I deepened the kiss go lock the door I told him, I could really do with out some one coming in on us that would just make the whole thing so much more annoying and way less romantic for our first time.
He leapt off the bed and went and locked the door, he turned around with a big grin on his face. He got back on the bed and lay on top of me. I knew what I wanted to make this better, but I didn't think that he was going to do it.
'Bite me.' I told him.
'Zo, no. you need your strength. You have a battle coming.' Uggh, I was strong, he knew that.
'The battle isn't today; I can get my strength back. I have my ways.' I grinned at him. 'Now bit me' I told him.
'Zo, I don't know.' I decided that I wasn't going to get my way, so I took my nail and sliced it across the base of my neck.
'Now, go on, drink.' I told him. He bent his head down and licked the cut, think he was going to close it, but the taste was too good, so he drank, it felt so good. I groaned, man it was really getting me going. Then, I heard him moan. I smiled.
I was really getting going, so I reached down and unbuttoned his shirt, I threw it onto the floor. I then put my hands down to his belt and undid it, managed to undo the top button, then the second, man, I was getting there quick. I undid the zip; I then didn't have any idea of how to get them off of him.
He laughed. He had stopped drinking, I hadn't noticed, and he leant up and slid them off, he was just in his boxers now. Then I realised that it was my turn to get naked. He undid the buttons on my top, I sat up and he pulled it over my shoulders.
'Drink from me.' He told me, I grinned; I did love the taste of his blood. He drew his nail across his neck and I leant in and drank from him. I noticed that he was pulling my tracksuit bottoms down, they were at my feet, then he pulled them over them and they were off, he threw them onto the floor.
I was there in just my pants and bra. I felt rather vulnerable, but after a minute, I didn't care. I grabbed the top of his boxers and pulled them down, he then reached under me and undid my bra, and then he pulled it off of the front of me. I only had my pants on; he pulled them down pretty quick. I guessed my blood had really got him going, I like the thought of that.
When we were naked, Stark and I started to make love. When we were done, I fell asleep in his arms under the duvet.
