I own nothing Except my imagination and yes it does wonder over these characters a lot.

Chapter 7

Zoey POV.

When it was time to board Darius and I went first onto the plane to make sure everything was okay for Stark to board. While Darius and I were making sure everything was okay for Stark the others including Stark went to go pick up so snacks for the ride home. "Priestess, Aphrodite tells me that you and Stark are soul mates." He said very curiously. "Is this true?"

"Yeah, its true but I haven't told him yet so don't tell him."

" I won't. Priestess?" He asked.

"Yeah. And you can call me Zoey." I said. Well he was my friend so he could call me by my first name.

"Okay, Zoey. How would I tell Aphrodite that I love her?" He asked kind of ashamed. I was so flattered he had asked me, but I wasn't so good at telling people I love them at the moment.

"Well tell her when you two are sitting together on the plane." I paused to think of what Aphrodite had told me to do with Stark. "She'll love that it'll be so perfect and unexpected."

"Thanks Zoey we should hurry and get home then. I am worried that Neferet might be up to something though." He said back into serious warrior mode.

"Me too. I just have a bad feeling that she's in Tulsa waiting for us. You know?"

"Yes Priestess I have that feeling to. But all of us together are stronger than Neferet because we have the goddess on our side." he stopped to take a breath but then continued. "You are Nyx's chosen one Zoey. I believe with you on our side we can defeat Neferet. We will all stand by you if we have to battle her."

"Thank you Darius." I really meant it I forgot how much support and people I had to help me stop Neferet.

"So when are you telling your warrior?"

"Soon when we take off I think."

"Ah, is that why you told me to tell Aphrodite on the plane ride?"

"No. Its what she told me to do so she wouldn't expect it to happen to her."

"Oh I see. We should go tell the others that everything is secure and we can depart." We walked off the plane. Darius walked over to Aphrodite and took her hand the both smiled. Then I walked to Stark who was talking to the twins. Well he was standing there and they were trying to flirt with him. As soon as I walked up to them they immediately stopped and gave apologetic, we forgot smiles and I just nodded them away.

"We can board the plan now." I said so we could hurry and get the back seats.

"Okay. Sit with me my Lady?" Stark asked me.

Hell "Yeah" I said kind of fast that everyone laughed at me. Thank Goddess I did not say the Hell part out loud. " Lets go so we can sit at the very back"

"Okay" And we walked slowly onto the plane and sat in our seats. The Twins were in the front with Jack and Damien across the isle from them. Darius and Aphrodite were to seats behind them. Then there was me and Stark for seats behind them. It was perfect for what I had to tell him. Everyone looked back at us when Stark turned to look at something they all mouthed "good luck" and in return I mouthed "Thanks I'll need it." They all laughed and turned back around. Then Stark turned to face me and said. "If you get hungry or want anything I grabbed you some of your favourite brown pop,Doritos and some candy if you want it." Awww that was so sweet of him I didn't even ask him to get me anything.

"Thanks. Did you get yourself anything?" I asked feeling kind of bad. That maybe he didn't get anything for him,

"Yeah don't worry." As soon as he said that the flight attendant came out and said that we are about to take so please fasten your seat belts. "Here" Stark said handing me a piece of gum.

"Why?" I didn't know why he was giving me gum.

"Chew it while we take off so then you ears won't pop." He said in a matter of fact tone.

"Oh okay. Thanks" I took the gum and we both put a stick of five gum in our mouths. We took off so fast. And Stark was right there was no popping sound in my ears. The plane was playing my sister's keeper. Everyone was crying I would be to but I had already seen it so I was watching Stark read The Outsiders.

"What is something wrong?" He asked me not even looking up from the book to make eye contact.

"No." I said but took it back quickly. "Well, yes." he then put his book down and gave me a worried look.. "Its not like an evil." I said before he could jump into warrior mode.

"Oh. Then whats wrong Z?" he asked a little bit more relaxed.

"Do you remember when my soul left my body?" I asked

"Of course. It was one of the scariest things that had every happened."

"Well. I was in the other world were the spirits of the dead are and I saw Heath."

"Really. That's cool. What did he say?"

"That he would never be truly far, he loves me and that he's my guardian angel." I said giving him the short recap of everything. "Oh! And that I'll figure something out in time."

"Do you know what that something is?" He asked a little worry, hope and wonder all in his eyes.

"Yeah I do." I said a little smug. "There's something I have to ask you."

"What is it. You can ask my anything. I'm an open book" He said opening his book for emphasis.

"Even if its a little personal?"

"Yeah" He sounded confused.

"Well........um......when......I.........was.........in...the....other....world......" Ah I was stuttering like a dumb butt.

"When you were in the other world what? Its okay you can tell me I won't be mad or anything" Stark said in such a comforting voice.

"Well I heard you say something to my body?"

"What did you hear? And what does it have to do with what Heath said about you'll figure it out in time.?" He asked sounding very shocked and nervous about what had just come out of my mouth.

"Well....I heard you say.......and I quote because I have been thinking about it the whole time since I woke up........ "Please Zoey Please come back to me I can't live without you please. Your my life, lady and heart you hold everything I have to live for in you. That's what I heard you say." I said. When I finished talking Stark had an awed expression on his face. It was like a did she really just say that expression or an are you crazy expression. This really scared me. We sat in silence for ten minutes before I broke it. "Stark I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. I'll go seat somewhere else." Before he could respond I was out of my seat like a bullet and sitting behind the twins, but in front of Aphrodite and Darius. When I sat down I opened my cell phone and found a message from Stevie Rae.

"Good Luck with Stark. I know you'll do great Z" As soon as I saw that I started to cry my eyes out. I called Stevie Rae since I didn't want to interrupt Darius trying to put the moves on Aphrodite. "Hello" Stevie Rae said.

"Stevie Rae I-I-I-I sssscrewwwwwed uppppp withhhh Sssssstarrrrrk." I said in between sobs.

"What did you tell him your soul mates"

"No I told him what I heard him say. Gosh I screwed this up so bad."

"Wait. Hold on tell me everything that happened." She said clearly worried about me. So I told everything that happened and what Stark's face looked like when it happened. "Z, it'll be okay trust me he was just taken by shock. Where Aphrodite?" She asked.

"With Darius." I sobbed because at least her warrior loved her.

"No I'm not." Shit! Aphrodite was in the seat beside me, handing me a tissue.

"Thanks"

"Your welcome"

"Z, I gotta go me and the red fledings are getting something to eat.

"Okay, bye Stevie Rae."

"Bye Hun it'll be okay."

"Okay so Stark loves you get aff your whiny ass and go talk to him. For goddess sakes your Zoey fuckin Redbird." She said giving me a little pep talk.

"Your right okay i'll go back and talk to him."

"Good."

"Thanks"

"Go get your man." and I walked to the back of the plane.

That's it there will be a part 2 don't worry.
