A/N:Whooooa this one took some thinking and planning. I might change somethings around later, but for now it'll stay like this...please review.
An hour later…
Zek pulled the last box threw the door and yelled to Link, "Where does this one go?"
Link was in the kitchen unpacking her knives and cooking utensils; she walked over to him and peered into the box, "Ah, this is another one of Sera's book boxes. It goes in her room with the other four." Zek heaved the box onto his shoulder and went to the specified room.
The girls had a suite style dorm. All the walls had to stay white because of campus rules. The living room was medium size with plasma on one wall and a huge sofa on the opposite. There was a large square coffee table between the two; Link had added four Japanese cushion seats so it acted like a dining table instead. The kitchen was rather large and had all the appliances. There was a counter you could sit at and eat while someone cooked in the kitchen. From the living room, there was a small hallway that leads to the bathroom, bedroom, and library. The bathroom was basic: Tub/shower, toilet and sink.
Link had taken the main bedroom. She had about two large boxes near the bed and dresser that she had to unpack, but other than that she was set. The room also had a balcony with glass doors. They let in tons of light from outside; Link loved her room for that quality alone.
Sera took the library. When you stood in the room bookshelves covered the walls and camouflaged the door. There were, to Sera's delight, no windows. Hell there was hardly any light in the room at all. There was a little night stand with a small lamp, but that was it. Six large boxes lay open while Sera, Cai and Zek placed the books from the boxes on the shelves.
"Could you buy any more books, Sera?" Cai whined.
"I like to read it…helps me relieve stress, you know."
"Oh please. I bet you haven't even read all of these," Cai said throwing his arms out wide, "You'd have to be a loser or completely anti-social to even have the time to read them all!"
"Just because you're a moron and to stupid to read doesn't mean you have to make fun of me," Sera yelled back.
Zek just whacked Cai in the back of the head with before he could yell back. Zek noticed the title of the book Moon Rays and Silver by Lunar Angel. He checked the other books that they had already unpacked onto the shelves. She had all of his favorite author's books! She even had the newest one which wasn't suppose to come out for another week. I have to ask her how she got this and if I can borrow it, but first I have to get rid of Cai, a crash and cussing came from the kitchen at this point, perfect!! "Cai, why don't you help Link? I think she broke something," Zek asked. The man just nodded quickly and ran out the room like someone had set his pants on fire.
Zek shut the door and Sera jumped at the noise, "What are you doing Zek?"
"Tell me the truth Sera, and don't try to lie your way out of it either," Zek said glaring at her.
She was scared shitless. What the hell is going on!! If this guy thinks he can take on me then he's in for a nasty surprise. Sera started building up her energy and mentally readied every defensive spell, curse, and hex she knew, "what do you want to know?" She kept her voice light so he wouldn't notice the energy build up.
"How in the world did you get Lunar Angel's newest book!!" Zek asked with a stern look.
Sera was so shocked that she fell to the floor laughing after a minute, "that's what you wanted to know!! You scared the shit out of me you know that!! You sounded like you were going to trying and beat the living hell out of me," she growled at him as he helped her up.
"Sorry, this book doesn't come out for another week and she's my favorite author so I just wanted to know where you got it."
Sera felt bad as she watched Zek hang his head in shame and looked at the book on the floor. She picked it up and handed it to him, "You can have it. It's brand new I haven't even cracked it open yet."
"Are you sure?" he asked holding on to the book, "If you tell me where you got it I could just buy it instead."
"Nope, plus the editor moved the release date back two months. So you'd have to wait a long time."
"How did you know they pushed the date back?"
"Because my editor and I had a big fight she wanted to move it back six months to build anticipation and get more money. I wanted out two weeks ago because my fans had waited long enough."
Zek just stared in shock as Sera leaned against one of the shelves, "You…mean…you're…"
"Yes. My alias is Lunar Angel; I didn't want to get hounded by fans all the time. Not that a quick banishing spell wouldn't do the trick either. "Am I what you expected or a major let down?"
Zek just smiled at her, "You're even better that I imagined."
Sera blushed heavily, "Yeah right...anyways this has to be our secret. No one knows about it not even Link."
"I promise but why doesn't she know? Your books are awesome; she should read one."
Sera sighed and ran a hand threw her hair, "She can read the gory things I write. She read a history book once and cried for weeks. If she knew I was an author…"
"Why can't she stand horror?"
Sera turned her back to him, "All I can say is that she had a bad childhood."
Zek understood and changed the subject, "How long have you been writing?"
"Since I was seven. I wrote mostly poem back then until I was ten that's when I first got published. I had a whole ten books out when I was thirteen."
"Whoa…and you're what twenty now. Are you going to keep writing after college?"
"Yeah, but I'm eighteen not twenty."
"But your bio says your twenty?"
"My editor lied. She said more people would read and that's all I wanted people to read my books. I don't care for the money."
"Do you still have the same editor?"
"No I'm between right now, but do you remember the murder in Two Bloody Kisses."
"yeah I actual threw up after reading that"
"That was her murder scene. I had pictures of it in my mind and I had to write it or it wouldn't leave," she whispered shivering at the memory. Zek put a hand no her shoulder for comfort. Sera smiled brightly and laughed, "Well, now that you know one of my secrets. You can help me by being my beta-reader!"
"I'd love to, but do I get to know your other secrets?"
"Maybe," She said after handing him a filled two inch binder.
Cai came back into the room with a disappointed look on his face, "Zek, I thought that you would have made a move on her while I was out of the room with Link."
"Pervert," the two yelled in unison. Cai just fell on the floor laughing. Sera and Zek looked at each and nodded. The next thing Cai knew he was hanging from the ceiling in the living in a duct tape cocoon.
Link just ignored the stupidity of it all and invited the guys to diner, "Since you guys worked so hard to help us get our stuff in why don't you two stay for diner! I'll make you anything you want."
Zek whispered to Sera, "Can she cook?"
Sera nodded and mouthed 'hell yeah'.
Zek laughed and told Link he and Cai would go change and come back at seven tonight. The girls agreed and Zek left dragging Cai in his silver cocoon down the hall.
As soon as the guys left, Link had put a spell in the kicten to start preparing the food, and Sera finished unpacking. Books, utensils, towels, and labtops flew to their correct places as Sera thought Those guys were funny but unpacked so slowly. Not having magic must suck big time.
