anything you would change
I said last time that I wouldn't change anything, because of the plot and whatnot… well, that's true, but, if I was to change something… I'd either make Shaylin X Aurox canon, or undo what happened in Chosen. Here goes. By the way, the fact that there are changes I'd make/stuff I disagree with does not mean I love it any less. Hell, I probably love it the most out of anyone I know.
Aphrodite(takes place in chosen, Just after Erik made the Change)
"I'll show you how much we can share… how completely we can be together," he said, whoever 'he' was. The sound was coming from the yoga room. I heard a bunch of popping noises and then the male voice again "Drink"
Holy shit. That was Professor Blake's voice! I peered through the crack at the bottom of the door, trying to get a good look at whoever he was doing in there. I saw long, black hair, and a black dress, but that really could be anyone. It wasn't until he took off her dress, that I figured out who she was. The extra markings made it obvious. Holy shit, Erik was going to be pissed
"Now it's my turn, I have to taste you!" Professor Blake declared. Part of me wanted to go get Erik and tell him what his oh-so-perfect girlfriend was up to. Instead, I took off my earring, flicked it under the door, and opened the door, pretending to have absolutely no idea what was going on.
Just as Professor Blake was about to drink from Zoey, I yelled something to the effect of "Holy shit! Zoey, is that you!?"
Both of them whipped around, Zoey grabbing her dress and attempting to cover herself, blushing until she was a very attractive shade of tomato red. "Aphrodite, what the hell are you doing in here?" she demanded
"Who the hell are you doing in here?" I shot back
Professor Blake glared at me "I think it's time for you to leave, Aphrodite." He subtly motioned to the door.
I rolled my eyes "you are going to be in deep shit if I decide to tell Neferet." I glanced at Zoey, who was just sitting there, looking shocked. "Not to mention you, Zoey."
For a moment, I was sure I'd do it. It would get me back my leadership of the Dark Daughters. My parents would finally accept me. But I knew Zoey, despite being a fucking idiot right now, was the rightful leader. Nyx did gift her for a reason.
"Please, Aphrodite, I love him." Zoey begged, looking completely sincere
I burst into laughter at her naïveté. "Do you really believe that, Zoey?" I demanded "of course he said he loves you. Isn't that what guys always say when they want to get into your pants?"
Now Professor Blake looked like he wanted to kill me. "My motives are none of your business. Now leave."
"he didn't even deny it." I pointed out "but I seriously don't need to see any more of this. Our friend needs something, by the way" I hinted that Stevie Rae needed blood "and if he drinks from you, you're going to torture boyfriend one, breaking your imprint, I'm just saying." I had no clue why I cared, but apparently Zoey's boyfriends mattered to me. Or, no, it was Zoey who did, and I knew she cared about Heath.
"It won't hurt that much, only enough to" Professor Blake started
"Possibly make him kill himself. There's a story about it in one of the fledgling handbooks." I cut him off "But, hey, that's none of my business. You two have fun." I walked out, wondering where the hell Zoey's brain had gone. Then, I noticed Erik walking down the hall. Then, it hit me. He would see everything. The door was wide open. I was far enough away that I didn't see him, but the way he yelled "what the hell!?" was gratifying. I guess now he could see that Zoey wasn't perfect.
I watched as a scrambled looking Zoey sprinted after Erik, who had run past me. I was just glad she'd put her dress on first.
I could see blood seeping from the cut Professor Blake had given her. Thank Nyx she hadn't actually let him drink from her. Being imprinted to a professor wouldn't be good, particularly if it killed Heath. That's when I saw said professor walking up the stairs, to his room. He glared at me "You need to learn when to stay out of things, little fledgling."
I wanted to walk away and never, ever go to another poetry class. I didn't. Instead, I accosted him "and you need to learn not to fuck with my friends!" I snapped, loud enough that Neferet came down the steps from the loft and glared at me.
"Oh, I get it now. Neferet's your lover and Zoey was what, exactly?" I demanded, wanting Neferet to look shocked and hurt. Wanting Neferet to make him pay. But, being Neferet, and batshit crazy, she didn't.
"A success." She spoke coldly "After this, no one will trust her."
"And you care because?" I demanded
Neferet laughed, leading Professor Blake up to the loft "That is for me to know, and you to question."
I walked off, going to tell Zoey that he'd lied to her and find out exactly what had happened in between me leaving and Erik showing up.
I walked outside, to where I'd seen the pair of them run. Sure enough, they were talking under a tree. Erik looked murderous. He'd been possessive with me, and I hadn't even cheated on him. I couldn't imagine how enraged he'd be.
"Bullshit!" Erik cried "Stop playing games with me. And you think Aphrodite is a hateful bitch?"
I walked over there just in time for him to say "you make her look like a fucking angel."
"Excuse me. I don't know exactly what you saw, or anything but I have to talk to Zoey. This is me being a 'fucking angel'" I snapped, dragging Zoey off. I told her everything I saw, not realizing Erik heard.
"I guess it's not too late to say 'I told you so" and he left.
Well, this is my way of saving Zoey's imprint and her virginity, when I guess she didn't. Truth be told, I like the original series, and I wouldn't want to screw the plot up, but the prompt said, so I wrote. That's why I tried to maintain the consequences that happened (losing Erik and her friends). Tomorror is the last one. KShade out.
