I only own me, my imagination and my plot.

Chapter 9

Zoey POV.

When we got off the plane Lenobia was waiting for us. "Hello, everyone it's good to see all of you are well. Zoey I'm sorry about your lost friend. I informed his parents. They were upset but happy he was with you when he died because he really loved you. They also said to send you lots of love and wish you well." She finished. Ah the Lucks had always liked me, but I was sorry I could never bring Heath back to them. Then I felt sadness and guilt because I had taken Heath away from them and they weren't even a little bit mad at me. I started to cry. "Zoey I am so sorry I did not mean to upset you, I just thought you would want the message." Lenobia was sorry. I knew that.

"No its fine. I'm just mad I can't bring him back to them." I said and Stark squeezed my hand then pulled me into a hug. And whispered in my mind.

"Its okay Z we'll get through this together." Then he kissed my forehead. He was so sweet. The best part was he was mine and I was his for all of eternity. Not even Neferet could break the bond we have.

"Thank you" I returned to Stark Then out loud so everyone could hear I said "Lets get going back to the House of Night we need to put up some security wards up so Neferet can't get in. We can ride the same way we did to the airport."

"Oh, Zoey if you don't mind Darius phoned me on the plane so that you and you warrior soul mate could have a little special time together even if it is only on the way home." Then Lenobia held out some keys and Stark took them. "I hope you two like the car." With that everyone else got into the two hummers. That left me and Stark standing in the parking garage not knowing what car was ours.

"Try pushing the alarm button." I said hoping that would work and it did. We found our way over to a blue lamborghini. It was just waiting for us. "Whoa."

"Thank you Darius.!" Stark said. The doors opened by them selves so we climbed in. "This should be fun." Stark smiled as he pulled out of the car garage.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked even thought if I wanted to I could pry.

"How lucky I am." he said with a nice confidence but still had his cocky smile in place.

"Why are you so lucky Stark?" I asked trying to see what makes him so happy.

"Because I am soul mates with the greatest girl in the world." He smiled at me "Not to mention if someone makes me mad she can burn them up or hit them with a title wave." He said with a serious tone but I knew he was joking.

"Ha Ha ha Stark very funny. I'm not going to burn people up just because they make you mad." I tried to say seriously but couldn't help laughing.

"Whats on your mind?"

"You and Neferet."

"Ew! I don't like my name in the same sentence with Neferet." He said it with such disgust. I didn't like the way he said it. It was because when I first got to the House of Night Neferet was my mentor and the mom figure I always wanted. "Zoey it was all an act." He said clearly picking up on my thoughts.

"I know that but she was the mom that I lost she was so caring and loving and she gave me such guidance you know?" I said trying to reason, but deep down I knew Neferet was evil from the start and now she has chosen to leave the way of the Goddess.

"I know what you mean but please don't let that cloud your better judgment." Stark said now trying to reason with me instead.

"Your right. Your always right." I said admitting defeat.

"No your just wrong about this one thing." He said.

"Okay. So when are we going to get there?"

"Where here already." He said

"Wow time went by so fast." It felt as if we had just left the airport. When Stark and I got out of the car everyone was standing in a line waiting for us. Stark handed the keys to Lenobia and nodded thanks to her and Darius.

"So, Zoey what is your plan?" Lenobia asked getting straight to the point as normal.

"Well, Jack do you have all the candles in your pack?"

"Yeah Z." he responded.

"Okay good. Everyone take a candle and stand in your correct spot for the circle." Everyone took there candle and stood in there spot. Then I realized that Stevie Rae wasn't here. "Where's Stevie Rae?" I asked Lenobia.

"She went back to the tunnels to get the red fledglings so they can move back into the dorms."

"Oh okay. Aphrodite can you step in and I'll send earth to you?"

"Sure Z" She said with out arguing

"Okay. First I call air to the circle. You give us nice breezes on hot days and fill our lungs with purity. Air I call you to the circle." Then the air blew around Damien and I. "Second we call fire to the circle. You give us warmth and protection. Fire I call you to the circle" Them the fire lit the candle like normal. "Next we call water to the circle. You cleanse or bodys of imperfections and you keep us hydrated. Water I call you to the circle." Then there was a title wave around Erin and my feet. "Next I call earth to our circle. You are all around us, your beauty is abstract and you are everywhere we look. Earth I call you to the circle." Then I smelt lavender and it reminded me of my grandma. "Last but not least I call spirit to the circle. You are what makes us all special, you connect us to the goddess. Spirit I call you to the circle." Then I looked around at my circle bowed to all of them and began to speak. "Elements I have called you here for a purpose. Nyx gifted me with the five elements for reasons like the one I have right now. Neferet has turned her back on the goddess. I have a feeling she is here in Tulsa right as we speak. I am asking you elements to combine together and make an unbreakable wall around the House of Night so that no one can get in. I ask air to blow away all the people that try to enter. Fire I ask that you burn all the evil people trying to enter. Water I ask you to wash away all the bad trying to enter. Earth I ask you to build a wall of trees to keep the evil people out. Spirit I ask you to block out the evil trying to get to us and damage our souls." then I felt the elements leave and start to get to work. They came back in ten minutes. "Thank you elements for protecting everyone. I thank you for always coming when I yield. Thank you for putting up your guards around our house you may depart." With that everyone blew out there candles and the circle closed. I sent a silent prayer to Nyx. "Please help us through this we can't do it without your love and protection. Thank you for everything Nyx and for blessing me as your own." "Okay lets all get some rest because tomorrow we will have an assembly to warn everyone of the evil that is vastly approaching." Everyone nodded and we all walked to the dorms together.

"I guess this is where I say bye" Stark said looking sad.

"Or you could stay in my room." I said kind of flirty. "You know to keep Kalona away."

"Of course my Lady." We walked up the stairs. Then I bumped into someone.

"Sorry" They said I didn't quite know who it was. "Oh its you." Then I looked up and saw it was Becca Adams. She looked past me to see Stark standing behind me. "Hey, Stark" She said completely shoving me out of the way.

"Hey Becca" He said kind of impatient.

"How are you its been are really long time" She said in a flirty voice. I silently called fire to me.

"Good." Stark said keeping it simple.

"Me too." No one asked you. I said in my mind. Stark clearly heard it and laughed. "We should go out again sometime." Now I was mad and Stark could tell because he was having a laughing fit. "Whats so funny Stark?" Becca said still not noticing how mad I was.

"Nothing just look at Zoey." He said between laughs. She slowly turned around and looked at me. I was radiating with fire. It was all over my body.

"Becca hun, I'm going to burn you now." I said very sweetly with a lot of anger in those words.

"What?" She said confused. Gosh this girl was dumb. I looked to my left and Stark was by my side still laughing.

"I said I'm going to burn you. Goddess are you slow?" I said through my teeth. "Don't hit on my warrior soul mate got it?" I didn't wait for her to respond. I pointed my little finger and the fire zapped her a little to make her jump. Then I called fire off and told it to depart. "Got it Becca stay away from Stark." She just nodded like an idiot. "Good. It was nice seeing and talking to you again. Bye Becca." I sweetly said then I grabbed Stark's hand and pulled him into my room.

"Wow you really love me eh Z?" He said all smug.

"Yeah. I do your mine and don't you forget that or I will do way worse than what just happened." I threatened him.

"You promise?" He said kind of flirty.

"Oh yeah" I returned.

"Well don't forget your mine too." Before I could say anything he stopped me with a kiss. "Let's go to bed."

"Kay" He grabbed my hand and lead me to the bed. I feel asleep lying on his chest. But I felt him laugh and say "Your the best Z." Then we both fell slept.

Lat.!
