A/N: OK. So here's chapter two. I don't own ANYTHING! Thanks for reading.
Shaunee's POV:
Aphrodite and I raced to The Street Cats tent running into Stevie Rae on the way. Why was Neferet here? What could she possibly want now? Except to reek more havoc and cause us pain. We burst into the tent panting. When my eyes reached the mass of spiders my stomach lurched. "Ah Shit!" I exclaimed. Stevie Rae and Aphrodite both stared in disgust. "Ohmygoodness!" Stevie Rae gasped. "Neferet seriously makes my ass hurt." Aphrodite said. Zoey stepped up explaining that we needed to get rid of these creepy crawlies. "But we can't make a scene." She said and I nodded. "Yeah cause Neferet would want to F everything up by causing a big 'ol scary scene and freaking out all the humans." I agreed. "No worries Z, I'll keep this on the back burner." Damien held out his hand to me and I gladly took it. His hand comforted me as I stared down at the spiders below. "Fire, come to me!" I felt warmth spread through out my body as my element enveloped me like a blanket. "Heat em' up, but don't let em' fry." Fire quickly did as it was asked and I saw the spiders wriggle in discomfort. Ha. Serves you right you disgusting things. I stared at them creep across the ground their fuzzy legs digging into the soft earth beneath them. I shivered. "I knew a circle was going on! I could feel it!" Erins voice interrupted my thoughts and my head snapped up. Her and Dallas were standing just outside the nun barrier, his arm draped over her shoulder. I ignored him. I focused solely on Erin. My eyes widened in surprise when she said she would join the circle. Does this mean she still cares? Is there still hope? I sent a silent prayer to Nyx. I prayed that we would be friends again. Erin joined our circle and I grabbed her hand. It was ice cold. "I'm glad you're here." I said hoping to get some sort of response. No luck. Erin stayed quiet. "Be discreet." Zoey told her. Erin nodded. "Water come to me!" The salty smell of the sea entered my nostrils and I breathed in. I always loved the beach. "Make them wet." Water formed at the bottom of the cages and the spiders slipped into it. Stevie Rae then summoned Earth, and Zoey Spirit.
"Now get out!" Zoey commanded
"Out" Damien echoed/
"Go!" I said
"Leave!" Erin said.
"Bye-bye now!" Stevie Rae finished
And then it all happened so fast. From the spiders Neferet materialized. No, not her exactly. More like a ghost or a shadow. Zoey called for Spirit to strengthen all of the elements and Neferet screeched. She lunged forward, passing right through Erin and then vanished. "Holy Shit! That was seriously gross!" Aphrodite shivered. Then she coughed. And then she let go of my hand. The circle broke as Erin fell to her knees, hacking up scarlet. "Didn't think it would end like this." I fell to my knees beside her. No. No. No. No. NO! "I'm getting Thantos!" Aphrodite called. But I barely heard her. My Twin lay dying in my arms. "No! This can't be happening!" There was still so much left to say! So much left to do! "Twin! Please. You'll be fine!" The tears flowed down my cheeks as Erin coughed up more blood. "I'm so sorry." I sobbed. "I didn't mean of the anything bad that I said to you." Erin looked into my eyes. They held so much emotion my breath caught. "It's-It's ok Twin." Erin choked out through the blood. "It was my fault. I-I forgot how to feel." No Erin! I screamed silently. Nyx please! How could you possibly be ok with this! This isn't fair! "We're her with you." Zoey said touching Erin's hair.
"Spirit, calm her." Zoey said.
"Earth, soothe her." Said Stevie Rae.
"Air envelope her." Damien said.
"Fire, warm her." I said through my tears.
Erin smiled as she reached up and touched my face. "It has already warmed me. I-I don't feel cold and alone anymore. Don't feel anything except tired."
"Just rest," I said. "I'll stay with you while you sleep."
"We all will." Zoey added. Erin smiled one more time before she died in my arms. Rest in Peace. Erin.
A/N- Awwwww man. Thanks for reading.
