Two days later

Stark and Darius finished there training yesterday, it was amazing how far both of them came, they both worked so hard knowing that I had to go back to the house of night with or without them, Stark didn't want me to leave without him so worked extra hard to complete his missions that were set for him.

It was twilight now and Stark was below the boat in one of the cabins till the sun finally set, we were on our way to the vampire council, we had to speak with them before we headed home, something that I didn't really want to do but knew I had to or Kalona and Neferet would have the councils backing and that wasn't good.

" hey beautiful, have you had any sleep" Stark asked as he walked up the steps to come beside me.

"not much, but I'm fine I just want to get there and then home, the longer I'm away the more I'm worried about Stevie Rae, This thing can go either way I just hope she's strong enough to deal with it" I let out I sigh everything is going to happen in a few hours, I knew Stevie Rae would be fine but I was scared I knew what I had to do.

We reached the council and were granted permission to speak with them before the vote as I entered the court my head held high this place reminds me of heath so much I can hardly focus on what im here for I face the vampires in the chairs in front of me

"ah Zoey we are all very glad that you have safely returned to us" Duantia said

" I'm glad to be back, but there are things you have to know before you make your decision" I pause waiting on the response.

"well continue priestess you are the one we have been waiting on to hear from" another one said.

"well I should begin at the beginning" I say and start telling them everything that has happened, Neferet turning her back on Nyx to her getting Loren to seduce me I never left anything out, I told them about the red fledgling and how they were brought back and the circle bringing back Stevie Rae's soul and how Kalona killed Heath when I was finished I waited for them to think about what I have just said.

"I believe the council needs to speak for a moment, please sit we shouldn't be long" said Thanatos while they walk to a side door and entered.

"do u think they will side with us, I know that Kalona has a special affect on people"

"I don't know, I hope they see the truth of it all and not side with them or we will be fighting the council as well" I replied to Darius he was sitting holding hands with Aphrodite.

I turned back as the door opens and the council return.

"priestess we believe that you have been extremely truthful with us and we thank you for that as painful it was to you" thorn said

" we have decided that this immortal Kalona is not Erebus and we will not back them on becoming stronger or the war that him and Neferet want will not past within this council" I sigh deeply thanking Nyx that she has this wise council with her.

" thank you now we need to go to the house of night I believe there are things I must do there, please be careful all off you I don't believe that you have seen the last of Neferet on this matter" I wish them well and head out the door to the foyer.

"told you twin we wouldn't be left here" Shaunee said

"Yip twin, what took you so long" Erin said as she ran and hugged me followed by Shaunee.

"Zoeeeyyy" Damien and jack screeched as the came running towards me.

They all started talking at once "how are you? Was it terrible on the other side? Are you okay?"

"wow wow one at a time" I laughed it felt good to laugh I had my friends with me I was nearly whole again.

" right guys get packed we're going home" I told them " questions later right now Stevie Rae needs us" I look at them and give a half smile.

"oh we cant forget our shoe's" Shaunee

"don't forget the Gucci bag twin" Erin

"like I can forget that" Shaunee replied.

" come on then let get going" Damien and Jack together.
