Chapter 3

I opened my eyes, and I was in a dark room, I though how did I get here. Then I realized who am I, there was a little voice telling me that I was Zoey Redbird, or at least I was. Suddenly I was preoccupied I smelt blood, a frenzy inside of me took over, where was the blood. I looked around and I saw Neferet, with a slumped over body next to her, and fresh blood pouring out of a wound. I didn't even think I jumped up, and sucked the blood. I didn't gain any self control until she pulled the body away.

"Zoey, you are know going to work for me." She said in a powerful voice.

I didn't think, but that voice that was in back of me spoke, "Yes, High Priestess."

She smiled, "Excellent, now Zoey, remember no one knows about you so you can't be seen, but I need you to bring Aphrodite. She is a human, and she is a traitor."

"Should I bring her back dead or alive?" I asked, before I thought about the question again.

"Whatever is more convenient for you." She said with a laugh, then walked away.

I tried to gather my thoughts about my past, before I ended up in this room, but I came up with nothing. All I can think of was to listen to Neferet. No, Zoey, leave now. This was a knew voice from before, the other voice wanted me to kill, this one was trying to help me. I was about to run, far away when, I couldn't. I have to listen to Neferet. No she is evil.

I sat down I was so confused, why did I feel the urge to kill, but something else is telling me not to. Right then the first instincts took over, I have to find Aphrodite, and kill her. She has blood. The first voice repeated in my head, and that was all it took for me to leave.

It was dark out, of course that meant school was still going on, and all of the fledglings are outside. I had to stay hidden, I thought Use your affinities, The first voice said, the one that sounded like Neferet. Yes, I have five affinities for the elements, I will use spirit to hide me.

"Spirit, I call you to hide me from anyone seeing me." I whispered to myself. Instantly I felt my self disappear.

I still stayed in the shadows it only felt right.

"Twins I know you hate Aphrodite, but with out Zoey, we kind of need her." I turned to where I heard that voice. I was familiar, Damien.

"No," Erin said, with tears starting to fall down her face.

Shawnee chimed in, "no one could replace Zoey."

"I know that, but we know something big was kept from us, and Aphrodite knows. She told us to meet her in her room." His voice lowered but I was close enough to hear. "She said it involves Stevie Rae."

That means Aphrodite is in her room.

I quickly ran away from them.

I was out side her door when I heard a shriek. I couldn't just open the door and barge in. She would know I was here. Lucky for me the twins, and Damien also heard the shriek. They sprinted to her door, and didn't even knock. They left the door open and I slid in unseen.

"She's having a vision." Damien said.

"What do we do," Erin said, clearly she never saw her have a vision before.

"Yeah, what do we do?"

"Nerds!" Aphrodite yelled through her vision, "Stay!"

They all listened and sat, and waited out the vision. Finally Aphrodite calmed down.

"So what was it about?" Damien asked first.

Catching her breath, she got up and shut the door. "Ok, I have to catch you guys up on everything, for you to be able to get this. But remember once I tell you, you won't be safe from Neferet."

"Neferet?" Shawnee said.

"That big," Erin finished.

"Yes, it's that big, and that is why Zoey haven't told you guys anything." Aphrodite continue explaining everything. From heath being captured in the tunnels, and when I saved Him. All about Stevie Rae, and even stuff I didn't know. Apparently since I died, which was a week ago, Aphrodite, has had a vision, about and ancient god Kalona, who is going to rise from the earth, and bring Raven mockers. Which she found out are, half bird half human, mutated creatures. And all of this was going to start a war with the humans.

"Shit," Erin finally said.

"Your right twin, this is big." Shawnee said.

"Wait what about, the new vision." Damien asked.

"Well the new one is just icing on the cake." She took a deep breath. "This one involved Zoey. She's going to come back like Stevie Rae, and she is going to be like Stevie Rae was before her tattoos changed. She is going to kill me."

"Wait can't we make a circle, and fix her, like Stevie rae." Shawnee asked.

"Yeah, if we do that we can stop the whole war thing."

It's not that simple Zoey is stronger then Stevie Rae, she still has the affinity for the elements, we are going to try to stop her, but it doesn't work. That is why I say we stay away from, Here I have a vampyre on board so you guys won't cough up your blood"

"No, we have to save Zoey, I can't let her become evil. She saved me." Stevie Rae said popping up the window.

Everyone turned surprised.

"It's not that simple Stevie Rae." Aphrodite protested.

"Of course it's not that simple, but I have to try."

"Yes, us too." Erin, said speaking for her and Shawnee.

"Me too. Damien added.

"I guess I'm out numbered, and Plus my gut is telling me this is right, so somehow we are going to save Zoey from Evil. AKA Neferet." Aphrodite.

I was going to just end it there, but the old me kicked in for a moment and got out of there.
