Chapter 29 Stark

Hey guys! It's me again! I just wanted to let everyone know that I updated House of Night: My Story so check that you. And if you haven't yet, please do so. I lost pretty much all my reviewers that I had from before I had to stop for a while… I did lose for this fic too but not as much. So please, please, please check it out!

I just wanted to let you know that there are slight lemons in this chapter… its nothing much… but I just thought I'd warn you.

I was lying in bed, with Zoey sound asleep in my arms, when my phone began to ring. I slowly slid out of our embrace and went to get my phone that was sitting on the counter in the kitchen. When I picked up the phone, the caller ID read Johnny B.

I picked up the phone and said sleepily, "Hey Johnny B. What's up?"

"Stark, it's me." it was Izy. She sounded really weak and tired, like she just got into s fight and is about to faint.

This got me worried. "Izy, what's wrong?"

"Stark…" she took a deep shaky breath and continued. "Dad's dead."

"What? They finally fried him?" I asked with a little laughter.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "No… I killed him…"

I froze. Did she just say she killed him? I thought to myself. "Did you just say…?" I couldn't even finish the sentence.

"Yeah… Stark… Aphrodite had a vision that he was coming for me… so I prepared. And when he did show up we fought. He got a few shots at me, but I pretty much beat the shit out of him… then he said things and it ended with me pulling a trigger to his head.." she said all in one breath.

I was still in shock, I couldn't speak.

"Stark?" she asked, sounding worried.

I got out of my shocked stage. I started to think about what would have happened. She could have been dead. I could have lost her again. I didn't want that. "Why the hell didn't you tell me when Aphrodite had the vision? I could have been there for you to protect you! And where the hell was Johnny B? He's your warrior! He's supposed to protect you. Not let our son of a bitch father come into your room and beat you like he did when you where younger! Do you know what he would have done, Isabella? He would have rapped you, and beat you like he used to and possibly kill you!" I was so heated right now that I didn't think I would stop if it wasn't for Zoey putting a comforting hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down.

"Stark, honey, what's going on?" she asked.

I looked at her and whispered to her, "I'll tell you when I'm done ok?" I kissed her forehead.

She nodded and went back to the bedroom.

"… how did you…. How did you know he… he rapped me?"Isabella asked.

"I not stupid Isabella! It was obvious that he used to do that… and walking in on him doing it was a big clue too."

I could hear her shaky breath on the other end of the line. I took a deep calming breath and said, "Izy, I'm sorry I blow up on you like that. I'm just really mad and upset. When you told me that he was there, all I could think was that you could have died. I couldn't lose you again. Not after the car crash. I just wish you would have told me when she had the vision so I could protect you from the bastard… but really, where was Johnny B?"

She sighed in frustration and said, "I understand why you're mad James. But I needed to do that myself. Johnny and the rest of the guys where all next door while it were all happening. And if anything was to go wrong, which it didn't, they would have been there in seconds to save my ass. But that's not the only reason I didn't call you. One, because you are on your honeymoon and I didn't want to ruin it for you and Zoey by have you come home early just so you can protect me.

"And that leads me to number two. James, I'm 19… I'm going to be 20 in a few months, and so are you. But that's not the point. The point is I can take care of myself. I may not be a full vampyre yet, and I may not have affinities like you and the guys, besides my new affinity Nyx gave me while I was fighting him, but I can defend myself if I needed to.

"And lastly, like I told Johnny and the rest of the guys, I needed to end this myself. It's the only way I'll feel better. And I knew that I'm the one that had to put him in his place after all those years of torture…"

I thought for a minute. She was right… about all of it. She was completely capable of defending herself… and I understood what she meant when she said she needed to do it herself. "I understand now Iz… I still wish you would have called though… but I'm just glad you ok…"

"Thank you for understanding… well I should get going… I'm really tired. I love you James." She said yawning.

"Ok Iz. I love you too." I said about to hanging up the phone till she stopped me.

"Wait!"

"Yeah?"

"… Don't come home. Enjoy yourself."

She knew me so well. "Ok Iz. Bye." I then hung up.

I walked back to the bedroom to see a worried looking Zoey sitting cross legged on the bed. "Is everything ok?"

I sat beside her and told her everything that happened

Izy

When I hung up the phone I felt weird. I didn't know how to explain it.

"Are you ok Iz?" Johnny asked.

I slightly nodded. But just then, a shooting pain went through my body. I yelled out in pain and fell out of bed. But before I could reach the floor, Johnny caught me in his arms. I screamed out as more pain shot through me.

"It's ok Isabella. It's going to be ok." He said. But his voice sounded distant… like I was miles away from him even though I was in his arms.

He ran. To where? I don't know… all I know is that he was running. The pain became more unbearable. Most of it was in my head.

"Stevie Rae!" Johnny yelled. Ok so I guess he ran to Stevie Rae's office. She was in charge while Zoey was on her honeymoon.

I screamed out again. "Johnny B! Put her down!" Stevie Rae yelled over my screams. He put me down backed away so she could look at me. The pain began to die down and she sighed in relief. "She's making the change."

I then heard Johnny sigh and pick me up in his arms. The pain was finally gone and I opened my eyes to find Johnny's beautiful set staring back at me. He caressed my face with his hand and said, "I swear, I'm going to die of a heart attack being with you. Your always finding some way to scare me half to death or getting yourself nearly killed." I would have taken it in an offensive way if it wasn't for him smiling like an idiot. "Goddess you're beautiful." He said in a husky tone.

I blushed and buried my face in his chest. It was then that I realized that I had no pain at all. Not from making to change or from the fight. I then realized what I thought… I made the change! Oh thank goddess!

As if Stevie Rae could sense my excitement, she handed me a mirror. I looked at my face and saw the most beautiful tattoo I have ever seen. It looked like a sheet of music with stars. But the lines and the music notes where swirling around. (It's a little hard to explain but I found a tattoo of it but on a girls side… it's pretty much like that but on her face… and blue… so check that out!) It framed my face perfectly. It was amazing! I was so happy that I have finally made the change and not have to worry about rejecting it.

I squealed with excitement and happiness and kissed Johnny hard on the lips. Our lips molded together perfectly. And they moved with such a beautiful rhythm, that it made me want to cry. I pulled back from the kiss and held him tight to me. I laid my head on his chest as silent tears of happiness fell from my eyes.

I looked up at Johnny to see he had tears staining his cheeks too. I wiped them away and smiled brightly at him. He did the same for me.

"Congrats Izy!" Stevie Rae said with a huge grin on her face.

I nodded at her and smiled sweetly. "thanks." I looked back at Johnny and kissed him lightly.

He sighed and said, "Goddess, I thought something bad was happening to you. I thought I was going to lose you again. I don't know what I would have done without you here with me. I love you so much Isabella you have no idea."

I kissed him again. "I think I have a pretty good idea of how much you love me." I said looking at my engagement ring.

He kissed the top of my head and said, "Come on future Mrs. Bello. (I don't think they ever said what Johnny B's real last name is so I just picked Bello. It means handsome or beautiful in Italian.) Let's get you to bed. You must be tired."

I thought for a minute. I never had sex with Johnny and I was engaged to him. I mean, we tried… but I would start to get flash backs from when my dad used to rape me and we would have to stop because I would start to shake uncontrollably. I thought that since he was long gone and I felt like a new me, maybe I would be able to go all the way with him. It was worth a try right?

I looked at him and gave him a man-eater smile. "I'm not that tired. But we can still go to bed. I have something I want to show you." I said with a wink.

He grinned widely, obviously understanding what I meant. He got up from where he was, bring me up with him. He picked me up bridal style and practically ran to his room.

Once we were through his door he put me down. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him with such love, happiness, and tenderness. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me back with everything he had. I felt his tongue lightly slide along my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I eagerly accepted and opened my mouth.

His tongue slid into my mouth, brushing with mine. His tongue explored my mouth while mine did his. I slid my hands down his neck to rest on his chest. He then removed his hands from my face and placed them tightly at my waist, bringing me closer to him. I could feel his chest rumble as a deep moan escaped his lips.

I slid my hands lower to the hem of his shirt. My hands went under and back up to his chest. I rubbed him softly as I moaned into his mouth.

He felt and tasted so good. I don't think I could ever get enough.

Johnny did the same to me. But instead of putting his hands under my shirt, he ripped it off me.

I giggle and mumbled into his lips, "You know you just ripped your own shirt right?"

He chuckled and said, "I could fucking care less. I need you Izy. I need you now. I need you so much it hurts."

I kissed him hard and tender before saying, "I need you too."

He kissed me again. He placed his hands back to my waist and slowly slid them up till he was gently cupping my breasts. I slid my hands back down to the hem and lifted it over his head. The second it was off he crashed his lips back on mine. While he kissed me I slowly removed his boxers. Using my feet to push them all the way down to the ground.

It was then that he lost whatever amount of control he had. He picked me up and walked over to his bed. While he walked me there, I wrapped my legs around his waist. He gently laid me down on the bed.

When he broke the kiss, I slightly growled, missing the feel of his lips on mine the second they're gone. But instead I let him lead.

He kissed my cheek, jaw, neck, shoulder, collarbone, chest, breasts, stomach, then finally stopped when he was at the top of my panties. He looked up at me with lust filled eyes asking for approval. I slightly nodded my head.

I didn't need to tell his twice. He had my panties of and on the floor in seconds. He kissed me from my inner thy all the way up to my lips. Making sure he didn't leave any part of my body un-kissed. And when I say every part, I mean every part.

For about 15 minuses we kissed and let each other's hands explore the other's body. He then took me. All of me. It was sweet gentle and slow. So filled with love.

About two hours had past and Johnny and I had just finished having the best sex of my life. I love this man so much that it's crazy. We just laid there in each other's arms. The whole time he whispered sweet nothings into my ear.

"Johnny?" I asked tried as anything.

"Yeah baby?"

"I love you… so, so much."

He bent down and kissed me so softly on the lips it made me want to cry. "I love you too, baby." He wrapped his arms tighter around me. And within seconds we both fell asleep wrapped in each others arms with a big smile on our faces.
