Chapter 30
Selene's POV.
I felt my eye fly open. Z, Stark, Lenobia and Erik were all looking at me as if they were watching the walking dead. I could only see them a little bit because my vision was very blurry. I was getting use to having all of my warrior scenes back. "Selene!" They all yelled. They were about to hug me when I put my hands up.
"Don't touch me yet." I warned them. I got up very slowly and felt my was to the window. I opened it and saw a blur of a tree. I thought about the leaves falling off the tree and the it happened all the leaves fell off. I knew I had all of my gifts back now. I was ready to face Kalona. Next I felt my way to the bathroom and saw I was glowing with fire. I told it to depart. "Now you can all come and hug me." They all ran up to me one by one. First it was Lenobia.
"You worried me. Never do that again. I prayed you would come back and you have. My prayers to Nyx were answered." She gave me one last squeeze. " I must of but I will see you tomorrow." I nodded a good bye and Lenobia left. Next up was my bro Stark.
"S holy shit don't you dare scare me like that again." Then he pulled me into one of the tightest hugs I had received in a long time. "Your marks are stunning."
"Thanks." He stepped back so Zoey could hug me now. "Hey Z." I said.
"Hey." She hugged me. "If you ever give me a heart attack like that again I will kill you and follow you to the other world just to kill you again." I laughed. "Erik's been here forever and I can tell he is anxious to talk to you." She whispered into my ear. Then she walked back to where Stark was standing.
"Come here." I opened my arms for Erik to come and give me a big bear hug but he didn't he just stood there looking at me. It felt like he was looking right through me. I let my arms drop after a minute. He kept his eyes on me. It looked as if he thought I was going to disappear if he blinked. I grabbed my phone. "Here take a picture Erik. Then maybe you can drool over it at home." I tossed him my phone. He caught it and took a picture. When he was done he still just stood there looking at me. I walked towards him and eventually I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck. Our for heads were touching and our bodies were pressed together. He finally put his arms around me and smiled. "Don't ever do that to me again." I said he laughed.
"But then how will I know you still want me?" He asked.
"I guess you won't know." I said smiling at him. "Remember your the one who missed me. I heard you talking to me."
"You missed me to. I was talking to you because I felt sorry for you." He was so bad at lying to me.
"Liar." I said.
"Maybe I am maybe I'm not." He looked at me in the eyes. It felt as if he was looking into my soul. He smiled. "See you so want me. Didn't you just see the way you melted when I looked into your eyes." He laughed and I could feel his hot breath in my face. "Just say you want me S." He said in a sexy voice.
"No." I said just as sexy as he had.
"Then I'm going to have to kiss you until you give and tell me you still want me." He started to kiss me. We kissed for what seem to last forever. It was so mice and gentle. Then I heard someone clear there throat. I pulled away from Erik.
"Fine I want you." He smiled with the victory he got. Then I turned on my heels to look in the direction I had heard the sound come from. It came from Stark. I laughed. "Everyone please sit." I said and they sat down. "There is a greater mission ahead of us. Zoey, Stark we will train before we head to Venice to find Kalona. The rest of the gang will train with us to."
"Where going to fight Kalona?" Zoey had a bit of a quiver in her voice.
"Yes." I pause to think. "I was not gone my mom pulled my soul to her to speak with me."
"How?" Erik asked.
"I am her daughter she can get a hold of me anyway she needs to." Then I explained every last detail of what had happened in my moms kingdom. "So I am the one and only Night warrior. I heard Lenobia tell you some about but I thought I might clarify it for you." I took a deep sharp breath. I smelt everything that was in the air. My senses were fully awaken now. "We must not waste anytime. We need to start training now." I looked at there faecal expressions. "Stark and Zoey you two will train with me the most. Since I see us defeating Kalona." I stopped talking so they could say something.
"I am coming with you too." Erik said breaking the silence.
"I won't be able to protect you if you get hurt." I said looking deeply into his eyes.
"I go where you go." He was so determined.
"Fine." I give up because I really want him to come. I didn't tell them I knew Kalona my whole life because it would make them very mad. I did however tell them I was chosen to come to Earth and stop him. "Stark, Zoey I will meet you outside the field house in ten minutes. Go and get the archery equipment for us." They nod and leave the room. I look at Erik. Even though I say he can come with us to Venice something else is wrong. It just get that feeling. I walk over and sit beside him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." I lay me head onto his shoulder and drapes an arm around me.
"Just tell me." I say giving him the pouting face.
"Your different." He say. It angers me.
"Different how?"
"You are more powerful than I am. And so warrior like." He paused to think. "Its just you are acting different now since you have all the powerful markings" This hurts. I thought Erik might be happy to see my cool marks because they were such a big part of who I was. I shrug out of his grasp and go to sit on Zoey's bed.
"I'm still me Erik. I'm still the girl who jumps off buildings for fun. Who jumped off of one with you. I am still that girl in the pictures. I am still Selene and no matter what I will always be Selene with or with out all my gifts, senses, or marks. I will even be me without you." I said the last bit so harshly. I jumped off of Zoey's bed.
"S!." Erik begged me. I walked over to him and kissed him on the cheek then I walked out the door to where we would be practicing. Stark and Zoey were standing completely still when I came up to them.
"Please don't treat me any different." They nodded so I continued on. "Stark go sit over there" I pointed at the bench. "Okay Z call all of the elements and I will to." I called fire, earth,water,air and spirit. They came rushing to me and I saw Zoey had called them to. "Okay. Now we need fire to burn. Watch and then you try it okay?"
"Okay." She said. I knew she was nervous but it would all be okay in the end.
"Fire burn that board." I pointed my finger at the board. The fire gulped it up in on flame. Then Zoey tried it and it went perfectly. "Good. Water cleanse the fire." It did as I said. Zoey did perfect yet again. We went through all the elements and everything went very smoothly. "Good now it is time to try the new gift my mom has given you. It is speed." I paused. "You must not think just feel. You are the speed. Be the speed." I left where I was standing and magically appeared by Stark who jumped when he saw me now standing beside him. "Your turn." Zoey tried it and she was a natural. "That is all we need to practice."
"Thank you. I feel so in control." She said gleefully.
"Your welcome it was part of my mission. Now are you ready Star?" I asked looking my twin in the eyes. He had no fear of being able to hit his mark. He only feared of hitting someone.
"Yeah. I was re-born to do this." He jumped off the table and Zoey took his seat. We both grabbed our bows and arrows. "Are we aiming for the board?" He asks me because I have not given him any instructions.
"Sure." I say plainly. I see Stark's arrow land in the center of the target. Not bad. I let mine go and it to makes its way perfectly to the center. "Now think about the target and look somewhere else." he take a deep breath. Then he turns to face a big maple tree. He lets his arrow fly and I see it appear in the middle of the target. "Good. Now it is my turn." I turn to face Zoey and draw my bow back.
"No!" I hear Stark yell from behind me. "You might hit her." He is so worried so I let the arrow fly. Zoey is still so calm looking. The arrow move towards here then disappears and finds its way sticking out of the target.
"You should trust me more." I say to Stark. He just nods in shame because he thought I was going to hit Zoey with the arrow. "That's all for now. We should all rest because we will practice for hours tomorrow. You two may leave." They nodded and walked hand in hand off of the field. I grabbed my bow and arrow again and I called fire to me. "Fire light the arrow." And fire does as I say. The arrow is flaming but I can't feel the heat. I focus on a target in my mind and let the flaming arrow go. It hits its mark that I chose on the target and a roaring flame starts. It is perfect I call water to put out the fire. I thank fire and water and tell them to depart. I grab another arrow. I am about to let it go when arms fly around me. I am startled and ready to attack. "Let me go." I say to the person.
"S calm down its just me." I cock my head back and see its Erik. I let out a deep breath. "You left saying you would be you without me in your life and I bugged me." He nestled his head into my neck. "Do you forgive me?" I said.
"I wasn't mad at you." I pause because I was never mad. "I just felt hurt Erik." I pull out of his grasp. "This is who I was before you and this is who I will be after you. I know you don't like that but its the truth." I look at all my marks covering my body. "These marks they are extremely important to me and if you can't respect that then you aren't important to me." I said not quite meeting his eyes.
"I can accept and respect it. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I can I have a hug now?" I walk over to him and his long but strong arms wrap me in a nest like embrace. He smells like Erik. A little bit of love, sugar, and some really nice fragrance on. "Wanna come for a walk? I think you've trained enough for one day."
"I want to but my mission is to train and defeat Kalona." I pause because a light bulb goes off inside my head. "Why don't I teach you how to shot now so tomorrow you can train with us and then we can go for a walk."
"Okay. So how do I shot?" He was so clueless.
"Okay grab a bow and arrow." He did as I said. "Bow on you back." He did it. "But the arrow right though that little whole. Okay now you posture. First have your shoulders square and elbow out." He looked very awkward. "Let me help you." I stand behind him and we release the arrow as a team and it hit the center.
"Were a good team." Erik give me a high five.
"Let's go for that walk now." I said grabbing his hand and we walk around campus not picking a certain spot in particular to stop.
Zoey POV.
I was so tired after the training session. I felt so drained. Stark had gone to his room and I went into mine. I lay my head on the pillow I was sleeping. I was dreaming of Stark when I see that tall winged immortal now standing beside be. Kalona was in my dream again.
Hope you like it. I am having a little trouble but I will make it past it. Please read, review and leave any ideas you might want me to add.
Love Always,
