Chapter 2

SPOV-

I could vaguely I could hear Zoeys friends crying and yelling at me. Couldn't they just leave me alone with my priestess I was unable to take my eyes from Zoeys face she looked so at peace. As if she was napping in my arms oh how I wish that was the case. How could I of failed her so miserably as her warrior, I mean I was arrow boy I couldn't miss what else did I need to know how cocky I have been. How could I have been so selfish, because of my incompetence she is lying here. In the middle of my pity party I could feel Darius tugging at my shoulder he was saying something but I was so distracted staring at my lifeless priestess to hear what he was saying, it wasn't till I felt him try to take Zoey away from me that I started to pay attention to him. He was telling me that she was still alive and we needed to get her to the infirmary to the healer that there maybe something that they could do to help her.

As if it was my last attempt to prove my worthiness I was on my feet in an instance and running with her cradled in my arms I knew the others would follow. When I reached the infirmary I began yelling for help, that is when I noticed the petite Vamp staring at me she was exquisite her honey colored spiral curls flowed around her face and deep violet eyes seemed to peer into my soul. I felt as if I couldn't breath, then she spoke Please bring her over here and lie her down so I can take a look at her. I was never so happy that Aphrodite was Zoeys friend because I couldn't speak I was so distracted. All I could do was lay Zoey down as she asked it was Aphrodite who began to tell Mia what had happened. Mia examined Zoey and signed yes I believe you are right her soul has shattered, I am sorry to say this but there is nothing we can do but wait and prepare for her return. Prepare for her return Damian asked looking confused. Yes we will need to have a human donor available in the case of her return she will need to feed to prevent her body from rejecting the change, and since her consort has been killed we will need to find another. There is no need to find anyone Zoey is my best friend if it is human blood she needs she can drink from me Aphrodite proclaimed. Mia looked at her confused my child you are not human it is very gracious of you to volunteer but she will need pure human blood. What do you mean I am not human Nyx took away my markings and I have returned to my human form. Mia simply smiled at her are you sure the goddess took away everything or is there a lesson she was needing you to learn, and when you are done your marks will return. Can you not feel the change still progressing in your body. I was stunned I never would of imagined anyone being able to silence Aphrodite. Mia dismissed her self saying she would inform the council of what has happened and request a human donor be found in case she awoke. In case those two words filled me with such despair.

I sat by Zoey holding her hand, all I could do is sit there and weep. I could hear Damian on the phone talking with who I presumed was Stevie Rae filling her in on what had happened, asking her how soon she could get here. I guess they were going to try to cast a circle and try to summon Zoeys soul back to her body. I wasn't really paying attention to what was being said. Over the next day I remembered each of them coming in and brining me blood and food to eat, each of them refusing to leave till I ate or drank what they had brought. Which I did to get them to leave, most of the time I just stared into Zoeys face wishing there was more I could do.
