CHAPTER THREE

Stark

I could feel all of Zoey's feelings and for once I didn't try to ignore. He could sense that she was angry at him, it must have been because he wasn't beside her while she was asleep. He didn't know that Kalona would go in her dreams while he was away for those simple ten minutes, he didn't know. He wanted to follow Zoey to Aphrodite's room so badly but Darius was blocking his path the second he took a step to follow Zoey. Shock was what Zoey was feeling at the moment, why was she shocked, it was killing him to not know what she and Aphrodite were talking about. If only Darius could move a bit father from the door than he would be able to run for it at his warrior speed, but as if reading his thoughts Darius only stepped closer to the door. He would never be able to find out why she was shocked until she came in and then who knows she might just keep it a secret. No Zoey would never keep something from her friends, her friends trusted her to much and she always told the truth though sometimes it was harder than other times. Of course he never heard what she and Kalona spoke of in the dreams, she kept that nice and hidden, in fact the only person that knew the extent to her dreams was Aphrodite even though from what he heard from the twins, they had some bad history. Just then the twins, Damian Stevie Rae and Rephiam came in the room.

Where's Zoey, said Erin.

Rephiam has some news to tell everyone, said Stevie Rae.

Rephiam just nodded his head and wrapped his arm around Stevie Rae's waist. Zoey is with Aphrodite, they needed to talk about something, alone. He bent his head when he said alone, Zoey was shutting him out and he didn't like it. He looked over at Rephiam and said Rephiam you can tell me what you want to say and I'll pass it on to Zoey so that you don't need to wait.

I need to speak to Zoey face to face.

That was the only time Rephiam spoke to him, most of the time he just spoke to Stevie Rae and she would pass on what he said to everyone so that he didn't have have to. He still was uncomfortable with Rephiam being human in the night and a raven at day, even though Nyx gave him that gift because he choose good and love. Love, he loved Zoey, at least he thought he did, he was her warrior before her guardian, that had to mean something. He wondered if like him Rephiam could still feel some darkness in his body just waiting to take control of him again. Yes, he probably did, I mean he was Kalona's favourite son, the one that was closest to Kalona who was 100% evil even thought Zoey still thought that he could have some light in him. It was all because of that dream which Zoey claimed that he showed her his past and why he became evil in the first place. Zoey still felt a pull to him even if she didn't want to admit it, when he was still evil she was the only one he kissed other than Neferet who was using her mind and body games at the time. Now he didn't know where Kalona was because he could not be with Neferet since he practically shunned her out of his life. Of course that would probably never happen, they would most likely meet again even if they didn't like each other.

Stark, are you ok.

It was Zoey, when did she come back in the room, Aphrodite was right behind her, it looked as if they both knew something and they wanted to tell but they couldn't. Hmmm what had happened in Aphrodite's room?

Hey Zoey, ya I am ok. Are you? As soon as he said that she smiled and said yes she was ok.
