CHAPTER SIX

Zoey

I walked in the bathroom feeling Stark eyes on me, it felt good to tell Stark something. I hated to keep things to him but since when were he and Rephiam friends. I took of my clothes looked at the ugly scar and then stepped into the shower. I made sure that the shower was nice and warm, I did not want to face everyone for a long time. I felt as if someone was me, not someone in person but like a spirit that connected me and that person, I knew that it wasn't Stark because the connection was telling me that that person was far away, still in Tulsa but far from the tunnels. I felt a tingling feeling on my back again like I did when I was talking to Stark about Nyx and Kalona loving some reason the water was getting cold and sort of like how Kalona felt when he had that cold skin thing on. The water was now giving me cold pleasure and it felt weird. I called on fire water so that it could warm up the water and form mist then I called on spirit to stop making the water feel like Kalona's skin. I turned off the water and let fire, water and spirit go, when I stepped out of the shower I felt the tingling again on my back. I started to dry off my hair and then put on pants and was about to put on a shirt when I decided to look at my back and what I saw surprised me so much that it was a wonder that Stark didn't come in, most of the tattoos on my back reformed to look like Kalona's wings, then I realized what the connection thing was and why the water was feeling like Kalona's skin. I was connected to Kalona, not a-ya but me Zoey was connected to Kalona. I did not want to tell Stark. First I needed to understand what was happening and how I got this connection. I needed to form a circle, but first I needed to get rid of Stark for about an hour to make the circle and call Nyx to help me, unless I tell Aphrodite, I didn't get one of those feeling that told me not to tell her so it was an all clear. All I had to do now was tell Stark that I was going to see Aphrodite, then Aphrodite could help me make a circle and then I would ask Nyx for help. It sounded like a reasonable plan to me. Also by the time I got back hopefully Stark would be sleeping, I at least got some sleep but he didn't so he must have been a little bit tired. I walked out of the bathroom to start my plan. ' Hey, Stark I'm going to go to Aphrodite, Ok.'

'Why?'He looked suspicious.

'I just want some girl time, the twins would be bickering the whole time, Stevie Rae is probably sleeping or spending the last few minutes with Rephiam and all the other red fledglings are probably more tired than Stevie Rae. So that leave Aphrodite who hopefully isn't with Darius.'

'Can I walk you there?'

'Sure, but then you should come back here because I plan on having about an hour of girl time and you are most likely sleepy.'

'I can wait a hour.'

'No Stark, you are tired and you know it, I'll feel guilty if you don't go back to bed and anyways if you go to bed then you wouldn't have to wait for me to long and I'll wake you up when I come back since if you go to bed alone then you'll probably hog the whole bed and make it impossible for me to sleep also without waking you up.

'Fine. Be back soon my queen.'

'Thank you Stark.' I walked into Aphrodite's room to find that she was alone on the bed.'Hey Aphrodite.'

'What do you want?'

'Well, I need your help to make a circle without the gang and Stark to know.'

'Why?'

'Well I somehow have a connection to Kalona.'

'Zoey, we figured that out a long time ago.' She gave me look that clearly showed that she thought I was going crazy.

'No, you don't understand. This connection, its not Kalona and A-ya, the connection is Kalona and me, Zoey.'

'Oh...What are you going to do?'

'I'm gong to caste a circle and call Nyx to help me, but I need you to keep the gang and Stark from knowing.'

'Why do I need to do that? Wouldn't it be better if everyone knows?'

'No, Nyx is giving me a feeling that only you can know.'

'Ok. Lets get started.'

'Thank you Aphrodite. Do you have any candles?'

'Of course.' She walked to a drawer and took out 5 candles and put them on the floor beside her. I started to set them out in their right order with Aphrodite watching.'Ok lets get started. From the east I summon wind to come and give us the knowledge that we need.' I lit up the yellow candle. 'From south I summon fire to give us the strength that we need to figure this mess out.' I lit the red candle.'From west I summon water and ask that you wash us and give us hope so that we never give up our free will.' I lit the blue candle.'From north I summon earth to give us courage so that we never give in' I lit the green candle,'and last I summon spirit to complete our circle and ask that you fill us with connection so that we prospect together. Finally I lit the purple candle. I looked at Aphrodite and saw that she was concentrating, probably on trying to keep my other friends from knowing that we were making a circle.

'U-we-tsi-a-ge-ya look at me.'

'Nyx! I need help.'

'Yes u-we-tsi-a-ge-ya. I will answer some of your many questions.'

'Nyx, how did I get the connection to Kalona?'

'I cannot let you know that, but I will give you a clue. Kalona knows, next time you see him he will answer some of your questions. U-we-tsi-a-ge-ya I want you to try and help him.'

'Ok, I will.'

'Aphrodite look at me.' Aphrodite's head snapped up and she looked at Nyx respectively.'You are the only one that Zoey trusts at the moment. Do not let her down. There is a great danger ahead. Neferet is getting stronger.'I couldn't help by interrupting.'Wait, don't you mean Neferet and Kalona are growing stronger?'

'No child. Kalona and Neferet are separate, Neferet has gotten someone else, someone much more willing to listen to her. I must be going soon. Aphrodite be careful and take good care of Zoey. Zoey same goes for you.' Nyx flashed and then was gone. Aphrodite was the first one to speak.

'Ok so, Neferet has a new puppet and Kalona and you have a connection.' We then heard a knock, Karmisha came in.

'Hey guys I have a new poem.'

'Oh great now we have to deal with a fucking poem also.'

'Be nice Aphrodite. What does the poem say.'

'Ok so I'll read out loud to you.

her choice will be big

her friends may leave her

two will stay by

but one must say bye

he may choose good

one will attack

be prepared for the worst

there may be more then one choice

fire will burn

water can not save

earth will be split

winds will blow

spirit centers all

Karmisha finished the poem and then looked at me.

'Well hell.'
