Zoey
I forgot how much i loved brown pop. The way it tasted on my tongue and the way it burned my throat... in a good way of course. Once i swallowed i looked at Stark and sighed.
"Okay... Stevie Rae imprinted with a Raven Mocker?" I asked and felt one of my eyebrows raise as i did. Stark nodded with a sigh
"She said he let her drink from him in order to heal...or the other way around i don't know... But they drink the others blood.. to much of it.." Stark rolled his eyes and i saw Aphrodite's large blue eyes shift to a different emotion.
" I thought the hag was dead.. and what she did was imprint with a fucking raven mocker?!" She waved her hands about and sat down next to me.
" He's evil isnt he?" I asked softly and looked to Stark for the answer.
"I don't know... She's protecting him.. and hes protecting her... He's her freaking warrior now Zoey! he lost his beak and looks like Kalona's real son for Nyx's sake! ugh!" Stark shuddered and stood up again.
" He vowed to be her Warrior?!"
" Yeah... and so did Dallas.... Zoey you should talk with the three of them.. they are planning something i think..." Stark sighed and looked to the curtain. When i nodded he helped he stand and led me towards Stevie Rae's room where the Raven Mocker, Dallas and My best friend were standing around talking about something about escaping.
" Alright... Stevie Rae... Can you please fill me in on what i don't know please?" I said to my beautiful blond friend, noticing that her and the Raven Mocker were holding hands. But i also Noticed that his wing was broken, letting go of Starks supporting arm i moved over to the Raven Mocker, Shocked by how beautiful he was without a beak. I placed my hands on his broken wing and closed my eyes. " Spirit come to me... Please heal this Raven Mockers wing if you believe he is no longer evil.." I whispered and heard the creature suck in a breath as the spirit rushed into him running through his wings through the bones until it was all heeled. I opened my eyes slowly feeling slightly tired, When my knees began to Wobble the Raven Mocker supported me Easily and let go of Stevie Rae's hand.
" Don't you dare touch her you monster!" I heard Stark hiss from behind me as he moved closer and took my into an embrace.
" No Stark.. Wait...He's not evil.... Nyx let me heal him... and i don't even have any tattoos anymore..." I began before Stevie Rae shook her head and pointed to the mark on my forhead. She grabbed the mirror and showed me the now red and black tattooing of feathers that surrounded my half moon that was filled in with black. " What does this mean?!" I heard myself squeek as i looked at it. It was the Raven Mocker, Rephaim who answered.
" Nyx accepted me High priestess... She gave you your tattooing for helping me.. for believing i was good..." His soft lips smiled as he took Stevie Rae's hand again.
" Then let it be heard... Stevie Rae... Tell me what you three are planning..." I said as i pressed my back against Stark's chest as he supported me. I enjoyed his smell at the moment, his protective side though was becoming much like Erik's but i knew why. He didn't want to lose me again.
" Rephaim came because his brothers attacked him outside the tunnel as he was coming here... He came in because he knew they wouldn't.... The others want to take me and you Zoey.. Kalona can destroy the world if he gets us both... kills us...He wants to take me away so he can not get us both....That is why Dallas and Rephaim took the warriors oath..." Stevie Rae said in her soft accent that always made me wish i had cowboy boots on.
" Then go... Go somewhere, where you can be safe... Go to the school and get Erik, Shaunee and Erin to go with you too... They can help protect you..." I said softly and moved away from Stark and went to hug my best friend. " Take your cell phone and call me when you are somewhere safe.. leave tonight Stevie.. its safer the sooner you run...Rephaim...Dallas... Take care of her!" I pointed to the raven mocker who nodded his head and bowed in respect before taking Stevie Rae's hand again and looked to Dallas who nodded and led them out of the tunnels.
" Zoey?" I heard Stark whisper softly. I turned my head towards him as his hand moved towards my forehead, touching the black and red feathers that ran down to my temples on each side. I smiled slightly but when he frowned and wrapped me in his arms i felt him sigh. " I keep messing up... I keep feeling that someone is going to hurt you...." He whispered into my ear.
" Shh.. stark... Shh... Its alright... come on.. i need some rest.." I said with a gently smile and led him towards my room again where we both slept on the bunk bed, his arms pressing me close to him. But it wasn't Heath that i saw next... it was Kalona...
