Destined – house of night series

CHAPTER THREE

Zoey

When I said that, Aphrodite's face changed completely.

'Really, but how is that possible. I can't just go into your dream and hear what you and Kalona are talking about and anyways if I'm getting new powers then that means that trouble is getting closer and more dangerous.'

'Of course darkness is getting more dangerous, everyday it's getting more dangerous', I said.

'Ya I know but it is not everyday that I go into your dreams, and anyways why do I feel that I couldn't tell Darius about what I saw along with you. Wouldn't it be better if we did. I mean even though Jack is gone and Damian is still sad that he couldn't become a red fledging like Stark and Stevie Rea. The nerd herd does provide some good details.'

I gave her a look.' Since when were you liking my friends and you know you shouldn't call them the nerd herd because they are my friends and so are you so if you call them a nerd then so are you. I am truly curious.'

'Ok you better not tell anyone that I am siding with the nerds, and stop giving me that look because I am not a nerd nor will I ever become one.'

'Ok, ok whatever. To my eyes you are a nerd now, but how about we go back and maybe keep that a secret until we stop having the feelings that are telling us not to tell everyone.'

'Ok.'

As we were walking back together I felt as if I was closer to Aphrodite, not in the love way but in the best friend way. She still wasn't my best friend like Stevie Rae but she still was close. Just then we reached the door. 'Remember, do not say anything.' I opened the door before she could respond. The second I stepped into the room I looked at Stark, he seemed to be thinking really hard about something and didn't realize that me and Aphrodite had came back inside. 'Stark, are you ok?'

'Hey Zoey, ya I'm ok. Are you?'

Of course I was.'Yes Stark, I'm okay.'

'Good. So uh what does everyone want to do.'

As soon as he said that everyone stared to talk, but it was my best friend that I heard the clearest.

'Zoey. Rephiam needs to say something to everyone.'

'Guys, Rephiam needs to say something so just be quiet for a sec, k.' Everyone shut up in a couple of seconds. 'K so Rephiam what do you need to tell everyone.' He looked uncomfortable for a moment but then he started to speak.

'My father was in Zoey's dream last night. I believe that he wanted to tell her something. Or warn her about something.'

'What did he say Zoey?'Damian said.

'Um, well it was really hazy, and I can't really remember anything. He was mostly doing what he usually does.' I could tell that the only people that thought or knew that I was lying were Aphrodite, Stevie Rae, Stark and Rephiam who was know looking at me as if he knew that I wanted to keep it a secret. Aphrodite was trying to look as if she wasn't part of this discussion and was moving towards Darius. I had a feeling that Stark was going to bombard me later on to tell him the truth and Stevie Rae was smiling at me with eyes of understanding. Rephiam do you have anything else to say?'

'Yes. My father has completely left Neferet so whatever Neferet is doing it is not with him. Also Stevie Rae said that she found something that might have belonged to him.'

As he said that he looked at Stevie Rae. She looked at him than nodded to him.

'Ya guys I do have something of his and I really think that you should look at it.' She then ran out of the room. We waited for about a few minutes then she came back in carrying something in her hand. It as white. She then Held it out so that everyone could see. It was a white feather and it looked exactly like the feathers he had in his past. If that past was real. My mind played back that dream. His past was real, he did ave good in him, he was a warrior of Nyx. That reminded me of the day that Heath died, as I remembered Heath tears came to my eyes. Kalona killed Heath my childhood love the one that was my on and off boyfriend since I was nine and Kalona killed him with a smile on his face as if that that was as simple as petting a dog and yet I still felt something for him, that made the tears come harder. I remembered that everyone was still in the room and I could hear them.

'Zoey are you ok?'said Stevie Rae.

I blinked back the tears. 'Ya, , where did you find the feather?'

'I found it as soon as Kalona flew away after freeing Rephiam.' She looked at me with eyes that clearly showed that she was worried. I looked her straight in the eye.'K, well do you mind if I go cause I didn't really get that much sleep last night and I wanted to maybe get a bit more sleep.' Before any one could answer I left the room. When I was out I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I looked at the person, it was Stark.'Hey.'

'Hey'

I started to head towards my room in the tunnels when I realized that Starks hand that moved from my shoulder to my waist. Somehow it didn't bother me so I just snuggled into him more.'Sorry for getting angry at you in the morning.'

'Its ok.'

When we reached my room Stark pulled me in and kissed me hard on the lips. I kissed him back, soon we were on the bed and Starks hands went towards my pants. 'Stop Stark. I'm sorry but I'm really tired. You don't mind right.'

'Of course not.'

I kissed him on the lips again and then hopped towards the bathroom to get ready for bed even though it was still really early. I brushed my teeth and looked in the mirror. Something seemed different about my face. It looked hard as if all the darkness as finally taken hardened me. I then remembered what Sgiach said to me about not letting darkness make me hard, and that I must be strong and wise. I looked away from the mirror and walked back into the room where my guardian was waiting for me.

'Hey there ready to sleep.'

'Yup.' I walked towards him and he opened his arms. I walked right towards them and he moved us towards the bed. When we reached it he flopped us on it and the he kissed me.

'Goodnight mon bann ri.'

He kissed me again.'Goodnight my Guardian.' Just as I was about to fall asleep I thought about Kalona's feather and for the tiniest second I wanted to see Kalona in my dream so that I could ask about it. Who would have figured that that second could have made such a big difference.

Hey people that was chapter 4.
