Stark
Stark kept his eyes closed as he listened to the girls talk, hug, and cry with each other. Occasionally the boy stirred with a groan which made it more realistic and look like he was asleep. He smiled gently when he heard Zoey's voice and her sigh. Yes he was in love with his priestess even more than perhaps over protective Erik had.
"Alright Stevie Rae... i love you... Go get some sleep hun the sun will be up soon.. we all need it..." He heard Zoey whisper to her BFF before hearing footsteps stamper out of the room. Finally they were alone again. Knowing this fact made Stark's heart skip a beat. Hearing Zoey's feet touch the floor and skid over to him he pretended to be asleep as she slid into the bed with him. Groaning slightly Stark rolled on his side gently so he didn't hurt her.
"Hey.." He said tiredly and pressed his hand to her cheek. Her brown eyes looked up to him with a shy smile. One that he had grown to love so much. When he smiled back she pressed against him with a sigh before speaking.
" You were listening weren't you..." Her voice was soft and gentle like she was.
" hm.. maybe a few minutes of it... yeah.." He lied and laughed gently, hugging her closer to his chest, running his fingers through her long black hair. He could still feel her pain from the lose of her best friend and consort. In fact her pain was his... When she had been crying stark had forced himself to hold it back. The fact was James stark hated her being like this. So sad and upset, it hurt him. When their eyes stayed locked on eachother Zoey sighed and closed hers.
"Please.. please don't blame yourself stark..." Zoey murmured and pressed her forehead to his chin. With a sigh she said " it wasn't your fault... it was m-" She began but anger rose inside Stark
" No you don't..." He placed a finger under her chin to tilt her head back to look at him. "Zoey... this wasn't your fault... you were there to save him.. i was there to save you! if i had saved Heath before any of it happened you would still see him! therefore its my fault!" Stark winced when he felt her shock and pulled away from her to stand up and walk towards the door, his hands shaking.
" Stark wait!" Zoey cried loudly and followed him, grabbing onto his hand firmly and pulling him back. " Please... Just..." She shook her head and looked at his saddened eyes. " Don't blame yourself.... please... for me... I don't want to remember this... i don't want to think badly of Heath's death.. accuse the one who murdered him before my own eyes, Kalona! not you... anyone but you.. please.. James" Her lip twitched slightly as tears began to build up in her eyes. Feeling her pain made Stark suffer more guilt, he had managed to hurt her again.
" I keep managing to fail you, my lady.." Stark whispered and turned his eyes from her. She squeezed his hand gently and shook her head wildly.
" Thats not your fault either Stark... i'm hard to watch over..." She tried to laugh but shook her head. " please... just don't blame yourself.." Zoey sobbed, her hand shaking like his was.
" As you wish M'Lady... i will do as you order..." Stark said in a monotone voice before pulling her into him, pressing his lips to her forehead and then let her go. Disappearing behind the blue curtain made as a door. As he walked away he felt the ache in his heart... not knowing if it was his own emotion of Zoeys... it was both.
