CHAPTER FOUR

Stark

I was watching Zoey sleeping thinking about what she and Aphrodite were talking about and what the dream about Kalona was about. He started to brush her hair while thinking about all the happy times he had with Zoey. Tomorrow they would need to go to school. He wondered how that would work. Probably just trouble with a side dish of trouble and a desert of came inside. He wondered where Stevie Rae was since he hardly ever left her side.

'My father is in her dream.'

'What, I have to wake her and how did he even get in if I'm right by her side.'

'Do not wake her yet if you want to see what is happening in the dream. Zoey called my father into her dream so you can't stop him from coming in no matter what you do. Now come here if you want to hear what they are speaking of in the dream.' Curiosity got the best of him and he went towards Rephiam, if it was true that he couldn't do anything to stop Kalona then at least he would see what the dreams were about.

'How do you go in the dreams?'

'My father didn't expect this invitation to her dream so he is some what unfocused and that is why I can hear what they are talking about. If he was more unfocused then I would be able to see also.'Rephiam grabbed my hands.'By the blood that me and Kalona share I ask you to let me hear what Kalona hears.'He started to feel a floating sensation and then he heard voices.

'Aphrodite did many wrong things before also but slowly she cleared the poo that she put on her path. So if she could do it, I think that you could.'That was Zoey, it was incredible her voice was strong and clear, he wished that he could see her also and see the place where they were.

'Why do you think that I could become something that I haven't been in centuries?'What was Kalona talking about?

'Because deep down I think that you do believe in Nyx and in the otherworld I saw that you do like her maybe even love her.'There was Zoey again, he heard her voice so clearly that it could only mean that they were about a foot apart. That made him sad.

'My wings are black though which proves that I am a Fallen Angel.' He heard wings and he guessed that Kalona opened his wings to prove his point. Then he felt as if he got kicked in the stomach, he let go of Rephiam and put his hands to his stomach.'Why did you kick me in the stomach?'

'That was not me. It was my father, he found out that someone was watching him and Zoey so he kicked us out of the dream. He will be on alert so it would be almost impossible for us to go in the dream again.'

'So does that mean that I could wake Zoey now, I believe that you can wake her up but do not let her know that you heard what they were talking about otherwise she might kick you out of any of her dreams and being thrown out of a dream by a girl that has a element to spirit, fire, water, earth and air will be painful.'

'If she could that then why hasn't she tried to do that to Kalona when he was in her dreams and made them nightmares?'

'Zoey does not know that she could do it but my father might tell her if we go into their dreams again and then she could do it and it would be worst then a kick in the stomach it would be much worse.'

'Oh. Ok. What were they talking about Kalona doesn't love Nyx, he totally hates her.'

'Ask your friend Zoey about what she saw in the dream before her soul shattered.'

'Um, ok but can you help me wake her up since you seem to be really good with dreams, can you like make her wake up from a dream. That is impossible. Just shake her body. Stevie Rae did that to me when I was hurt.'He looked at the door. Stevie Rae said that the sun will come out soon so I must be going soon.'

'Wait. Can you stay hear while I ask Zoey about the dream, maybe you can convince her.'

'Very well.'He went to Zoey and started to shake her, she groaned but didn't wake up. I started to call her name in her ear and then after a couple of minutes she woke up.

'Stark, whats wrong?'

'Rephiam said that Kalona was in your dream so I went and woke you up.'

'Ok, its okay he wasn't trying anything, I have no idea how he even got in my dream.'She shuddered.

'Um, I wanted to ask you this before. Um, what was your dream about? Not this one, um the one before your soul...shattered.'

'Kalona showed me his past.'

'Ya I know that but like what was his past? What exactly did you see?' She opened her eyes to speak and then closed it.

'Well Kalona used to be the warrior of Nyx, and then he got kicked out.'

'Why did he get kicked out?'

She bit her lips and looked as if she was thinking about telling me or not, I looked at Rephiam but he was looking at the door.

'Kalona got kicked out because,' she seemed worried and scared to tell me,'because he loved Nyx to much and was jealous of Erebus.' I felt my mouth open and I looked at Zoey and then at Rephiam who turned around and nodded his head once at me. Zoey was now looking at the door as if wishing that she could turn into a cat and run out. So Kalona was capable of loving, that surprised him a lot since he never thought that. Why did Nyx kick him out for loving her, there was nothing bad about that, right.'Is there anything else?' Zoey was looking behind her at her back, hmmm strange. 'Is there anything else?' I repeated.

Zoey looked from her back to the door then to me.'I can't say anything else.'

'Why?'

'Nyx is telling me not to otherwise the world might end. Sorry, I'll be in the washroom because believe it or not I'm still sleepy but that doesn't really matter because I have a whole day to sleep before we go back to school tomorrow.' She walked to the bathroom, opened the door than disappeared. After a minute he heard the shower turn on. He looked over his shoulder at Rephiam but he wasn't there, he must have left, it was pretty close to sunrise. He sat down on Zoey's bed and thought about what he heard. How did Zoey deal with all this stress, it was surprising that she didn't just shatter because of all the stress. He couldn't believe that Kalona was capable of loving.
