Chapter 5
Zoey
When I got to the room Stark was sitting in the bed messing with his bow and arrows.
"Whatchya doing," I asked.
"Sharpening my arrows."
"Oh," I said, "hey I know this probably makes me sound paranoid but I'm sort of scared about you doing this."
"Doing what?" he said, again he knew what.
"Killing Neferet," I said paranoid.
"It's ok," he said calmly, "it'll be easy." Oh here he goes again everything is easy. Oh yea he killed millions of people before this one is just another one. I really hate it when he does that act all laid back like a hippie just "goin' with the flow" ugh. Whatever.
"Killing Neferet will not be easy," I yelled obliviously scared and pissed at the same time. He looked at me like I just burst into tears and I didn't even know I was crying until I felt my tears running down my cheeks.
"Calm down," he said walking towards me. I put my hand on his shoulder and he covered it with his hand just like the day we first met.
"How am I supposed to calm down I don't want her to hurt you," I said still crying.
"She can't hurt me," he said laughing slightly in sarcasm.
"Yes she can Stark she did it before and she can do it again!"
"She can hurt me physically but the only one that can hurt me mentally is you, you're the only one that can do that by not believing that I can do this."
"I do but I'm scared for me, you and my friends Stark," I yelled still scared to death.
"Don't be," he said brushing a strand of hair back from my face looking at me with his wonderful smile, "ok?"
"Ok," I answered when he pulled me in and whispered in my ear, "When you look at Kalona think of me." I nodded and let him pull me in and kiss me. How can I possibly be attracted to Kalona when I was so in love with Stark? I mean Kalona is evil on the inside and beautiful on the out, but Stark is good on both in and out. Ugh I'm just going to have to see. Me and Stark stopped kissing and cockily he said, "Still worried about being drawn to Kalona."
"Not at all," I said pulling him closer to kiss me when Aphrodite walked in.
"Hey love birds are you ready to go," she said when Stark and I jumped apart.
"Hell Aphrodite don't you know how to knock," I said loudly. She sneered one of her best sneers.
"Hell no I don't know how to knock," She sneered back. Stark and I looked at each other and our eyes said the same thing "there's not frickin' privacy anywhere when she's around." I smiled at him and Aphrodite started to tap her Stiletto boot impatiently. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Come on we got to go get the rest of the nerd herd for the meeting," she said still tapping her Stiletto.
"Fine let's go," Stark said walking out of the room when Aphrodite blocked the door and raised one perfectly plucked blond brow at him.
"Aren't you forgetting something," she said glancing at his bow.
"Oh," he said running back to get his bow then we walked out of the door.
