I let my instincts take over. They were pushing me- guidng me, towards the love of my life. I just needed to see him, to hear his voice reassure me that we were okay. I needed to know he was safe. I pushed my legs faster until I heard a movement out of the corner of my vision. I stopped suddenly, and whipped my head around only to see Stark walking slowly toward me.
"Zoey." He said.
"Hi Stark." I ran up and hugged him.
"Don't hug me. I failed you. I failed Heath. I failed as your Warrior. I understand if you never want me to be your Warrior again." He bowed his head in shame.
"Stark." I put my finger on his chin, and lifted his head to meet my gaze. "I am proud of you. Your the best Warrior a girl could ever want. Your just new to this."
"You still want me to be your Warrior, after Heath was killed?"
"Of course. I-I-I l-love y-you." I stuttered.
His cocky grin was back. "Did you just say that you loved me?"
"Yes." I said. He took my hand and we went inside. We went to my room, and sat down on the bed.
"Remember when you said you loved me?" He asked. I nodded.
"I love you too." Stark said. He slowly leaned forward to kiss me. It was short and sweet, but passionate- and over to soon.
"Now that was the perfect moment.." Stark whispered. He hugged me close.
"This will always be my perfect moment." I took his hand. I started leading him towards the East Wall. I knew what I wanted. Him- for all eternity.
"I heard that." We stopped.
"What?" I asked, suddenly.
"I heard your thoughts. I still can. I still am." He proclaimed.
"What thought did you hear?"
"You want to be together for all eternity." He blushed.
A sudden thought hit me like a tidal wave.
You will find out soon enough.
Heath said that to me in the Otherworld. He meant that about Stark, and I. He said that he loved me when I was in the Otherworld- Stark did. This could only mean one thing. Stark, and I were soulmates. Somewhere deep, down inside of my soul- the blood of my Grandmother's people rejoiced.
