Chapter 15
Zoey POV.
Selene walked over to us, then Neferet had launched her self at Selene I was so shocked to see that happen. "Air blow Neferet off of her." Air did as I said and Selene ran over to where we were standing.
"Thank you." She said fixing her hair into a pony tail.
"Selene you need little children to stand up for you now?" Neferet said mocking Selene.
"No they are not standing up for me they are helping to get rid of you." Selene said not even looking as if what Neferet had said had gotten to her. "I should have gotten rid of you along time ago. I was fooled to think you loved me as your own. This time I will not make that mistake again." Selene snarled. I had never seen her so mad. She thought Neferet had loved her just like me. We weren't so different.
"I do love you as if you were my own daughter." Neferet said. I had not seen her so vulnerable. I was in complete shock. "I did think of you as my own when you were growing up."
"You don't love anyone except for yourself. Thank goddess I had Lenobia there to keep me on the path of my mom." Selene looked at Neferet with utter disgust.
"I do love other people." Neferet said looking hurt but still very dangerous.
"Like who Neferet? Kalona? Your fallen angel. Do you know why he fell?" She asked Neferet but continued on. "He fell because he is not worthy of Nyx or her presence, her grace. Can't you see he has tainted your better judgment. He only loves himself but I guess that's why you two are perfect for each other." She looked so disgusted in Neferet. Stark and I were on both sides of her waiting for Neferet to attack but she just kept talking to Selene. "I guess you made Zoey think you loved her as your own to." Yep! I thought. It wasn't a question but Neferet answered any way.
"I do love her like I love you. You two were the kids I never had." Neferet said it sounded so real but it wasn't it was all a lie. I looked up at Selene who was laughing.
"Zoey do you believe Neferet is telling the truth?" She asked me. I think she was looking for a good laugh or maybe she cared what I thought.
"Yes I do but, I think that she did love us both at the start of everything but now I just think she wants to destroy things." I said. It was completely honest because I remembered what Lenobia had told me about Neferet loving me.
"I'm sorry Neferet I can't let you destroy anyone or anything. This has to end now." I saw a little tear roll down Selene's face. I know one was rolling down my own because I could tell that even though she was evil we felt a motherly presence in Neferet.
"You know I will not let you take me so easily." Neferet growled at us. Selene didn't say anything so I did.
"I know you won't but its what has to be done. I'm sorry you chose to follow a fallen angel instead of whats right I thought you knew better Neferet but I guess I was wrong about a lot of things." I breathed "One thing I have to thank you for is bringing back Stevie Rae and Stark to me but you did it for yourself." I paused "This is where it ends now. Right here." I looked at Stark nodded. When I tried to look at Selene she didn't make eye contact with me. She wiped the tear from her face and then looked at me.
"Your right Zoey this is where it ends. It started here and now its going to end here. Your terror has been going on to long." She looked over her shoulder at Stark "Do it now." He let his arrow go and it hit Neferet right in her heart. When she looked at me I knew it was my turn. I threw all the elements at her except for fire and I watched her fall to her knees in pain. At that moment I knew Neferet was going to die. Selene and I both instinctively ran over to her side because we did truly love her.
"Zoey you truly are chosen by Nyx. I am sorry for hurting you all those time. I did love you as my own you will always be my fledgling." She said. Then in a whisper like voice because she was getting very weak said to Selene "Mene, Luna, Selene the moon goddess. Great daughter of Nyx. I could never be your mom but I always tried. I was glad to always be there for you and I was glad that I could be. You are pure of heart like Zoey. You two are so similar but so different. You too are my fledglings and I love you two. I am sorry I could not chose good over evil. If I could do it all over again I would and this time I wouldn't let both of you and Nyx down." She stopped to cough. "I'm sorry. Selene and Zoey you two are my daughter's and the people I love the most." She looked up at Stark. "I am sorry for what I did to you. Good bye." Then she puked the blood of her life and died. Everyone had been quite while Neferet spoke. I saw Selene grab Neferet's dead body in her hands and cry.
"Neferet I am so sorry. I should have stayed with you then maybe you could have chosen the choice for good. I'm sorry the day I left you asked me to stay because I was all you had left and you needed me but I left any way." She sobbed into the limp body she held. "Moon keep her close because she made her choice for good it was just to late. Good bye old friend, mentor and earth mom." Then Selene dropped Neferet's dead body and pulled me up with her. We walked over to where Stark was standing. "Burn her." Selene sounded very sad, shaky, hurt and upset.
"Why she's dead?" I asked
"Its just to make sure."
"Good bye Neferet. Fire burn." I said and pointed at Neferet's body.
"Okay that's good. You can also take down the force field around the House of Night." I told water to put out the fire, then let force field open and let the elements depart. "We must return." We walked back into the school grounds through the trapped door. When we entered the gang was standing there waiting for us. We walked over to them.
"Did you get rid of her." Aphrodite asked.
"Yeah she's dead" I said kind of shaky.
"Oh." was all anyone said.
"Let's head back to the dorms we all need sleep. Selene you can share a room with me." Even though Stark had moved in he could go back to his room because she really needed a room. I looked over and noticed she wasn't there. "Where did she go?" I asked suddenly so worried.
"Z, she went that way she looked really upset so I just let her go. I'm so sorry." Damien said.
"No its okay I know why she's mad. I should go find her." I said to them.
"Okay I'll come." Stark said.
"I think it would be a good idea if I went by myself." I felt so bad.
"As you wish my love." He was about to turn around when I stopped him and kissed him. He held me close in his arms when we broke apart.
"Thanks for being there with me." I kissed his check. "I love you so much."
"I'll be with you always and I love you too. Now go find that missing moon."Stark said and walked off to go catch up with the others. I walked over to Nyx's temple because I had a feeling that she might be there.
