Chapter 12
Zoey POV.
As soon as we walked into Nyx's temple everyone quieted down. Lenobia waved at us and nodded that we could start. The twins, Damien and Aphrodite formed a circle since Stevie Rae was no where to be found yet again. "Merry Meet, everyone." I said in my best Priestess voice.
"Merry Meet." They all said back. Then I nodded to jack who started to play the music. I danced around the circle for about two minutes then I went over to stand in front of Damien. "The very first element I call is air. You help in time of need, you are what goes through us everyday. Air I call you to the circle." Air came, I lit the candle, smiled and walked over to Shaunee. "Fire the second element. We use you for warmth, comfort and protection. Fire I call you to the circle." The I went over to Erin who looked so excited and I smiled. "Water I call you to us. You cleanse the dirt from our skin and make us clean again. Water I call you to the circle." I lit the candle a walked over to a very nervous Aphrodite. "Calm down it'll be okay." I whispered to her. She nodded and we began. "Next I call earth to the circle. You are strong and the bond you form around us is unbreakable. Earth I call you to the circle." I called Earth and sent it to Aphrodite. "Last but not lest I call spirit to the circle. You are what lives on after we are gone, you give us our strength and free will. Spirit I call you to the circle." "I touched the match to my candle and then I placed it onto the floor. "Merry meet." I said one more time.
"Merry meet." Everyone said.
"We are here today because as most of you can tell Neferet is no longer with us. She has turned her back on the goddess. She chooses to follow another named Kalona." I saw some people gasp, look scared but everyone was shocked. "I know this is something to think about. No one is allowed to leave campus. I know that might seen awful to some of us but it is too keep us all safe. There is a protection orb around the school so if you leave you can't get back in." I paused to let this new information sink into there minds. "We are leaving to go find Luna the moon goddess, she is also the daughter of Nyx." Everyone gasped, some were excited. "The circle and I will be gone for about a week. Since I am the new High Priestess you are now my fledglings. I would not want to see you get hurt so please stay inside the wall of our safe home. You will still have classes that you must attend. Life must go on just like everyday. Are there any questions?" I asked not know what might happen. Then I saw someone raise there hand. "Yes?"
"Why are you High Priestess? I mean your just a third former." She said with disgust. I was just about to answer when Lenobia answer for me.
"Zoey is High Priestess because she was Priestess in training. No she has not yet made it through the change but as you can tell she has all the markings of an adult vampire. Those marks mean she is Nyx's chosen one. You all will treat her with the respect you gave Neferet and more. She is like your mothers because she will lead you to a better life in the path of the goddess." Lenobia said and smiled at me. I smiled back and nodded a thank you.
"Okay. Before we close I would like to leave you with some wisdom. You can't stand up to night unless you know whats hidden in the shadows." I closed the circle and faced my new fledglings and said. "Mysterious night! When our first parents knew you Thee from report divine, and heard thy name, Did he not tremble for this lovely frame, This glorious canopy of light and blue?' This is a good quote but I want you to remember this one this is one that could save us all. ' Night hath a thousand eyes.'" I paused. "Merry meet, Merry part and Merry meet again."
They all responded "Merry meet, Merry part and Merry meet again."Stark came up and took my hand. "You did good. Don't worry." He whispered.
"Thanks, are you ready to go pack?"
"Yeah lets go." He said pulling me through the crowed. I saw the gang waiting outside for us so we tried to hurry but someone was grabbing the hand that Stark wasn't holding. "Whats wrong?" He asked seeing that I was pulling in the opposite direction.
"Someone has my other hand." I looked back to see it was Becca. "What do you want I snarled.
"To say I'm sorry and I totally deserved what you did to me. But is it true to two are soul mates?" She asked. I knew she was really sorry because I didn't get that weird feeling. I also knew she was nervous to ask me if Stark really was my soul mate.
"Its fine I forgive you. Yes we really are soul mates."
"Okay, thanks for answering that." She paused to think before she said something. "Good luck in Paris Zoey I hope you find her."
"Thanks." I squeezed Stark's hand and we left to meet my friends by the tree outside of Nyx's temple. "Are you guys ready to go pack?" they all nodded. We walked back to the dorms in silence. The Aphrodite spoke.
"What did Becca say to you?"
"She said sorry and wishes us luck in Paris." was all I said. Then I rembered I hadn't seen Stevie Rae since we had gotton back I wondered where she could be. "Is Stevie Rae coming?" I asked.
"No she said that she is staying in the tunnels to pack."
"Oh okay. When did you guys hear from here?" I asked because she didn't call me.
"Check you phone Z" Jack said. So I flipped open my phone and saw one message from Stevie Rae. It said:
Hey, Z.
I heard about you and Stark. I'm so happy for you. Don't screw this up. I can't go to Paris because I'm trying to get the red fledglings ready to move back into the HON. I wish you all the luck in Paris. I'm so sorry that I can't be there. Text me everyday your gone. Your still my best friend Z,
Love,
Stevie Rae.
I was happy that she had texted me. Stark and I walked up to our room. I handed me my suitcase and we both started to pack a week's worth of clothes. "You ready Z? Darius just texted me. They're all waiting in the car. I nodded. Stark took my suitcase and ten minutes later we were in the car with the twins again jamming out to music. One hour later we had gotten to the air port. We all found our seats on the plane. The pilot came on explained the steps in case of a crash and thanked us for flying with them. I thought "Thanks for flying Vamp. Air. Ounce again. Stark clearly heard it and laughed. We put the arm rest up and I curled into Stark's arms and we both fell asleep.
