Zoey

For some reason after stark had left i couldn't fall back to sleep. It was either from the fact that i had hurt my Warriors feelings or that i couldn't stop crying about it. But for some reason as i rested on my bunk I couldn't stop my crying.

"Zo?" I heard a gentle voice call from behind the curtain and saw Aphrodite's blond head pop in. Her eyes were red from crying, Once i looked over to her with red eyes she let out a sob and came trotting over towards me. Sinking into my bed and wrapped me up into her arms. " I'm so sorry Zoey! I'm sorry about Heath... i know how much you loved him.. he loved you so much... you scared me so badly Zoey oh my goddess.. i thought i lost my only friend.." She sobbed into my shoulder. For a few minutes we both just sobbed until we finally ran out of tears.

"Aphrodite.. can i tell you something? You seem to be the only one who can keep my secret about things.." I whispered to her as she fixed my rather messed up black hair she nodded once.

" Sure sure.. go ahead sweetie i will listen to you.." She said and got comfortable in my bunk.

" I saw Heath...." I whispered again to her watching her blue eyes go wide.

"How?!"

"I don't know really.. When i went unconscious after he.. was killed... i was there... in heaven with him.... but he said it wasn't like heaven.. its more like... the in between... its so amazing.." I found myself crying once again, i missed him so much. " But when i woke up i was in the infirmary with stark... we talked a bit before i went out again... and i was with Heath again...Its like the Nyx wants me to keep seeing Heath while i sleep... But oh my goddess Aphrodite... the place is amazing.. i can just picture a building in my mind.. and its there.. but he can't do as much things as i can..." I took in a long breath as I sobbed. I saw the shock on Aphrodite's face as I spoke.

" Thats so weird.... Zoey.. this could mean something.. if he's in the between world... maybe we can find a way to bring his soul back to his body..." She took hold of my hand as my heart skipped a beat.

" I don't know Aphrodite.... I love him so much.. but.. he's happy in the between... his dog is there.... he has everything.." I shook my head and squeezed my hand. " What time is it?" I finally had the feeling that everyone else was awake.

" Its almost Ten at night... sunset almost an hour ago... Shaunee and Erin are at the school helping with the injured.. Damien and Jack are here... so is Duchess and Stevie Rae... and Darius is here as well... Are you hungry sweetie?" Aphrodite asked gently with a raised blond brow. When I nodded she helped me stand and move to the kitchen of the tunnels seeing Darius turn his large muscular form towards us he bowed his head before moving over to us, taking Aphrodite's hand and pecking her on the forehead before taking me into his arms.

" I was extremely worried for you my priestess..." Darius said and squeezed me gently before setting me free again I smiled gently before looking around my stomach growling. When I heard yelling coming from outside it grabbed my attention. I could hear Stark's hissing and growling and Stevie Rae's screams.

" I've come for the red flegling priestess's help Warrior... please!" I heard a voice from a spot in the tunnel. Quickly without looking to Aphrodite I followed the hissing and screaming.

" Don't Hurt him!" Stevie Rae cried loudly, When i turned the corner i let out a shriek seeing Stark holding a raven Mocker by its throat against the tunnel, Dallas holding back a crying Stevie Rae as she shook her head.

" And why shouldn't I Stevie Rae He's one of the ones responsible for killing Dragon's wife!" Stark hissed and turned his eyes to me. " Zoey stay away please... i don't want you being hurt again..." He looked at me with carrying eyes i moved over to my best friend.

"Stevie Rae......" I said with a slight shake in my voice... i didn't understand why the Raven Mocker was looking for her. " Can you tell us something we don't know please?"

" Because i'm imprinted with him!" Stevie Rae sobbed loudly, Dallas's hands released her with shock. My blond friend ran towards the Raven Mocker that was still in Stark's grip. " He saved me from burning in the sunlight....He saved me from death......Even when he was free.... He stayed to protect me!!!" She Sobbed and looked to the Raven Mocker's face. My heart skipped a beat again as I looked to Stark before my knees collapsed from under me. I felt strong arms wrap around me and Stark's worried face looking down at me before i was surrounded by white again. Walking about until i found Heath again.
