PART 11
~Blake please stop. ~ Phoenix pleaded even as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. ~We can't do this. You can't do this. ~
~Well I am, get used to it. ~ Blake said pulling her away from the wall and leading her towards the bed. ~You're my soulmate. It's time you realised that. ~ He laid her down on the bed and covered her body with his. Phoenix moaned and arched into his touch. Blake smiled as he let his lips trail down her throat. He felt her pulse under his lips and nipped lightly, he felt her jump. He smiled again and went for her neck once more. But he didn't nip this time, he bit, deep.
Phoenix's eyes opened in shock when she felt Blake's fangs sink into the skin of her neck. She struggled away, but Blake just held her tighter. ~If you fight it'll hurt. ~
~It hurts now, ~ Phoenix whimpered. ~Please Blake. It hurts. ~
~Stop fighting me, Phoenix. If you stop fighting it'll stop hurting. Baby, just relax. ~ He whispered sensuously into her mind.
Phoenix took his advice, if only to get rid of the pain. And she found that he was right. When she stopped fighting him, the pain left. Phoenix liked the feeling that this left her with. She felt like she was on a cloud, floating from one of Blake's memories to the next. She saw what he was like growing up, when he first met his housemates and when he met her. The joy he felt, finally finding his soulmate. She also saw and felt his pain when he thought that she had betrayed him. ~I'm sorry, ~ she whispered into his mind. ~I didn't know that any of this would happen. ~
~It's not your fault. Thierry lied to you too; we're both the victim here. But that doesn't matter anymore. ~ Blake told her, holding her fast. Blake pulled back looking her in the eyes. "No of that matter now," he said out loud. He made a cut on his neck and pulled Phoenix towards it. "Drink,"
Phoenix could smell the blood that was only millimetres from her mouth and was intoxicated. It smelled wonderful; it probably tasted the same too. She put her lips to the cut and drank. She was right, it tasted wonderful. Like nothing she could describe. She kept drinking, not realising the hold she had on Blake. He had to pry her arms from around his neck to get her to stop.
"That's enough for now," Blake told her leading her towards the bed. "You can't have too much on the first exchange, you'll get sick. But you need rest now."
"But I'm not tired," Phoenix protested even as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Blake smiled and lay down beside her and went to sleep as well.

"Do you think they've killed eachother?" Star said worried. "I mean Blake was really mad at Phoenix, what makes you think he would just stay there calmly and not try to do anything?"
"Because no matter how much he hates her she's still his soulmate, he won't kill her." Thorn said, then muttered under his breath, "As least I hope not." He looked around him, they had taken them to an old Night World house, hoping that the close confines would make Blake and Phoenix kiss and make up. Well, more than that, if Thorn knew Blake. "Come on, I'm going to open the door."
"You make it sound like you're going to your death." Star laughed.
"I will be if Blake's in a bad mood." Thorn said, putting the key in the lock and opening the door. He threw it open and jumped back, expecting Blake or Phoenix to jump through the door. They didn't. He looked inside and was shocked.
"What?" Star said when nothing happened. Her eyes widened. "They're not dead are they?"
Thorn laughed, "No they're not dead, at least not in a permanent way."
"What do you mean?" Star frowned looking over his shoulder. When she saw what he did, she laughed as well. "I told you they wouldn't be able to keep their hands off eachother." She pulled him away from the door, leading him up the hall.
"You did not! You were the one that was worried if they were going to kill eachother." Thorn protested.
"But I also said that if they didn't, they'd jump eachother at the first opportunity." Star smirked.
"Speaking of which," Thorn said nuzzling her neck with his nose. "I'm in the mood for a little jumping myself."
"You always are." Star said walking into their bedroom and closing the door.

Blake smiled; he could hear Thorn and Star outside, every single word they said. He looked down at Phoenix in his arms; she was contently sleeping, with her head on his chest. He was happy again, and he was sure that Phoenix was too. Everything was going right for once in his life. Now all he had to do was try to convince her to join the Night World.
Phoenix stirred; she awoke leisurely knowing where she was, in Blake's arms. At this point in time her life couldn't get any better. Blake was the best, she didn't know what she would have done if they hadn't gotten back together. The only problem was they he was a Night Worlder and she worked for Circle Daybreak.
"I know you're awake," Blake whispered in her ear.
"I was just thinking," Phoenix responded, snuggling deeper into the blankets and Blake's arms.
"What about?" Blake asked curiously. Although some part of him knew that she was thinking about the same thing as him.
"Probably the same as you." Phoenix said getting up to look down at him. "I work for Daybreak, you for the Night World. What are we going to do about that?"
"It's simple," Blake said pulling her back down into his arms. "You're going to join the Night World."
"Oh am I?" Phoenix said pulling out of him embrace and looking down at him shocked. "What makes you think I'm going to do that? I wanted you to join Day Break. You know that all the bad guys have turned good and joined Day Break, you should too."
"I don't think so. I wouldn't be able to handle being around those do-gooders for a prolonged amount of time. I'd go nuts." Blake stated.
"Then we wouldn't have to live in the mansion, we could get our own place and only see them when it's absolutely necessary." Phoenix said.
"And what about my team? Star, Thorn, Josh and Megan? What about what they want? How am I supposed to tell them that I decided to join Daybreak? They'd have to kill me for changing sides."
"No they wouldn't, they could come with us. I know they would. You guys aren't like all the other Night Worlder's. You're nice, not blood thirsty."
Blake pulled away from her. "And what if that's not what they want? What are you going to do then, get down on your knees and beg?"
Phoenix shook her head, bewildered. "No, it's their decision, they can do what they want."
"But what if I want to keep working for the Night World?" Blake asked.
Phoenix looked at him. "Do you?"
"Maybe I do. Would you stay with me if I wanted to?" Blake asked taking her into his arms.
Phoenix looked at him and answered…
TBC
Okay, I need you people to tell me what you think her response should be. Should she join the Night World or should Blake join Daybreak, or should they just go off and not care about the rest of the world? It's up to you to decide. I'll do what the majority vote for.
