This is way after what happened in the last chapter. Stevie Rae and Rephiam head back to Tulsa to check up on the others (the red vampyres especially) and end up having a surprise visit. Dallas-bashing.


Stevie Rae

After taking the long plane trip back home we went immediately went towards the tunnels 'cause I really need to check up on my vampyres 'cause Nyx knows how much trouble they can get in despite the others keepin' a watch on them. None-the-less, the goodbye to my friends (who were slowly starting to trust me again, yay!) were hard but Rephiam was with me and we were able to get through the trip. Rephiam said that it felt weird being in the air without wings and I agreed with him despite me not havin' any wings in the first place but I know the feeling. We rented out a car and packed the stuff in. We got at the tunnels just a little under hour before sunrise, lucky huh? Currently we're unpacking the car and all that.

"Stevie Rae, go inside. I will get this."

"You sure?"

"Yes. Just get in before the sun comes out."

I smile at him before giving him a light kiss on his cheek. "Thanks. I'll go prepare the others." I went inside and followed the familiar tunnel systems trying to find anyone. "Hello! Guys! Where are ya?" I yelled down the halls (if you want to call it that). "Hm. Where are they?" I continued searching, calling out for anyone. I turned a corner and saw something I would have never expected to see. The vampyres were in a cage! I ran towards them but they started yelling at me.

"Don't touch the bars Stevie Rae! They're electrified!" Kramisha yelled at me.

"What?" I couldn't quite believe my ears. Then at the same time a light bulb flashed above my head while Dallas stepped into view.

"I told ya I would be back Stevie Rae." Electricity zapped forward towards his hands and he stood beside the cage, little electricity balls in his hands. "Now where is that monster?"

Rephiam

I had finished unloading the car when I suddenly felt a string of fear and anger. I looked towards the tunnel and closed the trunk door. The feeling slowly dissipated but I was still concerned. Picking up the bags (there were only two and they weren't at all heavy) I quickly went into the tunnels and followed the almost gone trail of fear and anger. I turned a corner and saw Stevie Rae backing up with the vampyres trapped in a cage with the boy, Dallas, beside the cage. I dropped the bags and walked towards Stevie Rae, back straight and head high ready for anything. Dallas' gaze turned from Stevie Rae to me and shock passed over his face. Stevie Rae turned and looked at me as well. His face turned quickly and a sly smile came across his face. "Well this is unexpected." No doubt about that. "The monster's a human now." My fist clenched at my side. He looked back at Stevie Rae. "You can't full me darling. I can tell this is the Raven Mocker you care for." Stevie Rae moved closer to me but I stepped forward being exactly one step in front of her. "Don't worry Stevie Rae. Once I bite you you're little connection with it will be broken and I'll have you forever." He's really deranged if he thinks he's going to lay a finger on her.

"How do you know if it's an Imprint Dallas?" She asked, her voice wavering ever so slightly.

"How else would you get tangled up with a monster?"

I raised an eyebrow but soon let it rest on my face. I have to admit, there is no other way. "What if I'm with him because I love him Dallas?" She countered.

Dallas broke into laughter. "With that? Before he had a beak and was covered with wings, how could you ever fall in love with it?"

"Maybe it was an Imprint then. Maybe it was pity. Maybe it was 'cause I saw something in him no one else could. Who knows? It could be all of the above."

Dallas shook his head and rushed towards her, fangs enlarging as he bared his teeth. I threw my arm out but part of the ceiling had crashed down on top of him. He was able to get out of it quickly, his eyes dark with rage and even the Darkness surrounded him like the first time he and I had encountered in the tunnels. Electricity still in his hands he glared at the both of us. Stevie Rae was about to push forward again when I grabbed her arm to stop her. "No Stevie Rae. This isn't a fight between you two, it's between us." Dallas grinned at me like a lion would at its prey (if they could grin of course).

"But Rephiam I—"

"Just stay out of it Stevie Rae." I pulled her back and stepped in front of her and right before Dallas.

He climbed on top of the rubble and glared at me. "Ready to dance Raven Mocker?" In response I jumped forward but stopped short when one of his electricity balls was launched at me and hit be dead on. I fell onto the ground, the volts pulsing through me. I heard Stevie Rae call out to me and she dropped on her knees while the other vampyres reacted to the attack. Dallas laughed and I glared up at him. "Weakling Raven Mocker. I always wanted to kill one." He slid down the pile and I rolled into a sitting position. His fist came at me but I caught it. It turned out it was a distraction while another attack was launched at me and a practically tumbled back into the wall from the pain. "What's wrong little monster? Can't take the shock?" Dallas took me by my collar and pulled me up and rammed me into the other wall and had electricity charge into me. I yelled and crumbled onto the floor. Stevie Rae echoed my yell and clutched her side. Dallas turned away from me and started towards Stevie Rae. I heard yells from the other vampyres telling me to get up and help her and I tried but the electricity weakened me and I couldn't find the strength to go on. I lay on the ground, my eyes closed shut and my breathing irregular.

"Rephiam! Rephiam!" I heard her scream and I felt the pain of being electrocuted again.

"Now now girl." Dallas spoke. "I wouldn't try anything or else you'll get another shock." She was staring an incantation for earth but a scream broke her off while another shot of pain went through me. "Now what did I say about doing anything?" I want to kill him. Want to snap his neck in half.

"Rephiam!" She cried out. "No stop! I don't want it broken! Rephiam!"

"Hold still!" I heard the sound of his fist crashing into her stomach before I felt the pain. "I'll soon free you from it and we'll stay together 'cause it'll die, I'll make sure of it."

"No!" She gasped out. "Rephiam! Stop… Him…"

My fingers dug into the dirt and the screams from the vampyres, the groans from Stevie Rae, the laughs from Dallas, my weakness, it was all angering me. I was clenching my fist so tightly that my hands and wrists started to hurt. I can't let this happen. I thought. I have to get up .I lifted my arms and started pushing myself up. Strength returning to me I felt power stream from me, Light power. I looked up towards Dallas and Stevie Rae, his mouth nearing her throat.

'Get up Rephiam.' The same feeling from the island urged me. 'Get up and fight. You must win. Win against Darkness.'

Another feeling, a darker one, then screamed at me. 'Stay down! You are a Raven Mocker! Born from Darkness! You do not belong with the Light!'

No. You are wrong. I do belong. With her. And if she's in Light, so will I! I stood and in one fluid motion wings erupted from my back and I noticed from the corner of my eye that they were not black, but white. I pushed off with my wings and tore Dallas from her and slamming him into the walls repeatedly, not allowing him anytime to collect electricity. I then had an idea and I quickly grabbed Stevie Rae's hand and rushed towards the entrance of the tunnel.

"Rephiam! Your wings!" I hear her exclaim from behind me.

"I know." We stepped outside and the sun was just moments from rising.

"The sun, Rephiam it—"

"I know." I look at her then. "When I say run into the tunnels, run and do not turn back."

"But Rephiam—"

Dallas came out of the tunnels. "Running you coward!" The electric poles nearby cracked with the overload of electricity and the wires broke falling down towards the ground. I looked at the sun which was slowly coming up. I flew towards Dallas who had obtained a wire while I looked at the rising sun. His fist flew towards me and I blocked it but the electricity from the wire rushed through him and into me. I held my ground and grabbed his wrist before he could throw another punch at me. The electricity pulsed through me but I refused to let go. Stevie Rae screamed at me to let go, I in turn screamed back.

"Go into the tunnels! Now!" I heard her hesitate but she ran into the tunnels just in time. The sun rose and its light hit Dallas. He screamed and released the wire. I moved my head before it hit me and he fell to his knees, his skin burning. He tried prying his hands out but I wouldn't let him. I then quickly twisted his arm back and released the other so that I could grab him by the back of his shirt. I then threw him into the pole. I tried to stand himself after words but I grabbed him again and threw him into the ground nowhere near shade. He screamed and tried shielding himself with a hand but of course that didn't work. I turned and started walking back towards the tunnel when another scream broke me off. I looked back to see him almost dead from the sun. I looked up into the sky and sighed before I rushed over and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and then dragging him into the safety of the tunnels where Stevie Rae waited.

"Rephiam, you're alright!" She hugged me and I flinched. She backed off. "Sorry. Fried to a crisp aren't ya?"

I groaned and rubbed my face with a hand. She looked at Dallas with confusion on her face before she looked back at me. "I could not allow him to die because it is not up to me to decide his fate. You are his Priestess you should decide." She turned her attention back onto Dallas. "But if you ask me I would rather throw him back out into the sun." She shook her head at me but smiled.

"Please Stevie Rae." Dallas rasped. "Don't let me die." He dragged himself over to her feet and he reached out but she backed away. "Please, spare me. I-I love you."

Stevie Rae closed her eyes. She stayed quiet for a few moments, her face turning with thought. I quietly went over that whatever she decides that I will be with her all the way, no matter how much I disagree with it. She opened her eyes. "Dallas, you were a great boyfriend when you were my boyfriend but quite frankly; my Imprint with Rephiam has made it difficult to ever picture me with you, ever. Besides, you're downright crazy and deranged, even more so than Rephiam's daddy." I held back a laugh but it still hung in my throat. "Not only that, you shocked me, twice, punched me in the gut, nearly killed Rephiam, imprisoned my vampyres in an electrified cage, and stole Zoey's car! How dare you have the nerve to come back and do all that shit and tell me that you love me?" She calmed down with a steady breath out before continuing. "Dallas, there was some point where I would have forgave you, welcomed you back and started loving you again, or at the very least would have stayed friends with you, but there's no way now. And you have proven yourself of being a danger to everyone that's near you. I have no choice but to give you to Rephiam so that he can k… Execute you."

"No. No. No! Stevie Rae!" Dallas yelled. He pushed himself towards her but I grabbed him by the back of his throat and pulled him away back towards the entrance. "NO! Stevie Rae!"

"Goodbye Dallas."

I then with one fluid motion threw him out of the tunnels and let him burn to his death.

No POV

They freed the trapped vampyres and all remained silent for there was way too much information that came up at one time. Then Kramisha smiled. "He's alright with me. He's saved you, us and by the look of things you guys are all right in love. Eh," she shrugged, "I'm not gonna stop this." The others nodded and muttered their agreements all very excited from the battle that had gone on just a few short moments ago. "Besides, I understand where he's coming from. We all have to battle the Darkness and now we have three prime examples of victories against the Darkness, you, Stark, and now him, Rephiam, ex-head Raven Mocker for his father Kalona. Defiantly a fine sight."

Kramisha's smile grew and Stevie Rae entwined her fingers with Rephiam, glad that they are much more accepting than her other friends. This makes things so much easier. She thought as she looked up at Rephiam who in turned looked down at her.

'Good job you two.' The black bull congratulated while he pushed his darker brother out of their lives. 'Live on together, for you are the hope for the future.' He disappeared and as he did Rephiam's wings disappeared.

Stevie Rae groaned. "Man… I was just started getting used to the white wings."

Rephiam chuckled. "So was I." She then stood on her tippy toes and kissed Rephiam who kissed back, ignoring all the pain. They soon broke off after Kramisha yelled "Get her done!"
