Stevie Rae's Point Of View

Okay, this might sound wierd. We vanquished Kalona already, but his favourite son, Raphiam, is still alive, and worse. We are imprinted. I thought about what to tell Zoey, she deserved the truth, I mean.. she has always been honest with me. Actually, I will tell everyone- then take it from there. I was half way to Zoey's room when I heard her first scream. It was worse then a scream, it was a bloodcurdling scream.

I ran.

I ran towards Zoey's room, afraid of the scene I might see, but I had to see- she is my bestfriend. I burst through her door, and was relieved that Stark was hugging her, in a soothing motion.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Bad dream." Stark answered for her.

"Abouuuutt?" I dragged on the word for emphasis.

Zoey looked at me, and her cheeks were tear-stained, and Stark put an arm around her waist.

"I was running down a path." She paused, trying to hold back a sob, "But there was bones on the edges of the path, and that's not all." She shuddered, "The path was made of blood. I was screaming and running down the path, then I whipped my head around, and Raphiam, the Raven Mocker, stood there with a beak covered with blood. He then put my neck in his beak, and bit." She shivered again, "Then I screamed for Stark twice, then I started drowning in my own blood. That was when I screamed." She paused, "Then I woke up. Anyways, Raphiam is dead anyways." She rolled her eyes.

"Umm.. actually.. that is what I wanted to talk to you about." I explained, "He is not dead. We are Imprinted." She, and Stark gave me a startled look, "I'm so sorry Zoey! I should have told you! But I couldn't! I am so sorry." I sobbed.

"Stevie Rae.." She whispered.

"Zoey I-"

"No. No. Don't talk to me for a while. I can't believe you kept this from me." She ran out of the room, Stark trailing after her.

"Perfect. Just perfect." I murmured.
