Sorry the last chapter was short. My mom only gave me an hour to check facebook, update, and do other stuff on the computer. And I spent majority of my time typing! Oh well, I hope you guys just enjoy what I give you.

Me: I still don't own the House of Night series but I do own a cat :)

Damien: You don't own a cat. The cat practically owns you. Isn't that right Cameron?

Cameron: *meow*

Zoey: Nala totally owns me. Don't you my dear?

Nala: *mee-uf-ow-snort*

Me: You should really see a vet about that...

James' P.O.V.

Demi raised an eyebrow. "Why would she get thrown in jail?" Reality seemed to sink in and her eyes widened. "She killed them didn't she?" she squeaked.

I put a hand on her mouth and said, "Sh. Someone will hear you. Look, she didn't mean to kill them." I explained what happened. "She was really upset so she went to see Cherry. Then Sam and Monica came looking for her and she hid up on the beams. They were being all...gross and Ana lost her balance and landed on them. She was so upset that she killed them."

"That explains so much. And she couldn't tell anyone so it was just eating her up inside," she murmured.

"Exactly. I thought I was helping when I helped her get rid of the evidence but I think I just added to her stress level."

"Because if she went to jail then they would eventually find out you helped her and you would be with her." She threw herself at me. "Oh James, I'm so sorry I was acting like a jerk!" She starting kissing me and holding me really tight. At that moment, I knew nothing was ever going to separate us again. I could trust her with everything and the feeling would be mutual.

I also knew that things were going to get really messed up from now on. We had to tell the rest of our friends and family. And there was a slight possibility this could end up in a war. "Demi, would you be my Queen and my wife?"

She gasped. "James...you know what you're doing right?" I nodded. "You want to be my Guardian after everything I said and did and you want to marry me?"

"I love you more than anything and I would die to protect you." I kissed her neck.

She shuddered from my touch. "Yes. I, Demi Rae Redbird, will accept you, James, as my Guardian and husband. Forever and ever."

"And ever and ever."

*Three weeks later*

Ana's P.O.V.

Okay, so I know this is going to sound bad, but I'm really starting to feel something toward Emmett and I think he feels the same. A few time we've walked past each other in the tunnels, he made sure to brush my arm, sending shivers to me. The times my dad was with me, he asked if I was cold and when I said no, he looked upset at something. I overheard Emmett telling the other vamps that there was a mission they needed to go on and for about two weeks it's just been us two. I rarely saw him though, which upset me a bit. Did I just imagine everything that happened last week? Or was he just not that interested anymore? I am a fricking cripple when it comes to boys.

Everything changed yesterday, though.

He was everywhere. When I went to the kitchen, he was there, when I was walking around in the tunnels, he just happened to be walking the same way. I swear everywhere I turned he was there. He seemed to be observing me curiously.

Finally I just asked, "Okay, why you followin' me around like a lost puppy?"

He hesitated, then said, "I don't know what you're talking about. Purely coincidental."

"Do me a favor?"

His eyes brightened and he struggled keeping his expression neutral. "What?"

"Don't lie. You suck at it."

He sighed. "Fine as long as you stop doing whatever you're doing to my head."

What? "I'm not doing anything to your head. I haven't used my powers since I had Mom dig my little tunnel room back at the House."

"Well, how else do you explain the fact that you're the only thing on my mind? I've seen your face on my now ex-girlfriend and even called her by your name. I've been wanting to be with you every second of every day. How do you explain that?" He threw his hands up in the air in exasperation.

I crossed my hands in front of my chest and smirked at him. A habit I picked up from Stark and Demi. I said, "I'm not doin' a single thang. That's all you." In the most elementary school kid voice, I said, "You like me!"

His cheeks burned red. "I do not!"

"Do so."

"Nuh uh."

I pointed my finger at him and bent down a little and bounced using my knees. "You do you do you do you do you do you do!" I laughed as he scowled at me. When I sobered up a bit, I said, "Emmett, it's okay to like someone. I don't mind..." I trailed off, looking at the floor and blushing furiously.

I felt his astonishment and heard him think perhaps I do like her. She's too good to use her powers ore than every once in a while. I'll see if it's true and then if it goes away or it's just a fluke, I'll just dump her. That's not very nice, but at least he's going to give me a shot. I still looked at the ground when he said, "Fine. Suppose I do 'like you'. Then what would you say if I asked you out, hypothetically of course."

Great. The hypothetical game. "I would say I'd love too, hypothetically of course."

He took a step to me. "Would you go out with me?"

"Hm, I'll have to check my schedule first. But what the heck, sure."

We stood there awkwardly. He rubbed the back of his neck. "What do we do know? Kiss or something?"

"No. You tell me when to be ready for our date and where to meet you." I terrible when it came to love, but I knew the basics.

"Well, uh, how about you meet me in the kitchen when the sun goes down and we'll go to a restaurant or something."

"Okay. See you then." I waved and flitted off to my room.

Emmett's P.O.V.

I could hear Ana's thoughts as though she was talking to me. What the hell's wrong with me? I actually want to go on a date with an evil guy who was not only in league with Neferet and is probably looking for revenge, but he almost raped my best friend and he's Erik Night son! Momma told me to stay away from him, but I can't. I just need to be with him. She's right. She shouldn't be feeling this way toward s me. I was her enemy.

So why was I so excited about our date?

Man, what have gotten myself into.

Yay for Demi and James! Review please!
