"I caught that thought too." Stark proclaimed, us stopping to a complet stop- by the East Wall.
"Abouuuuuutt....." I dragged the word on, for effect.
"Us being soulmates." His cheeks turned a dark shade on red.
"Do you think it's true?" I whispered.
"Yes." He smiled at me, and I eagerly returned the smile.
He leaned forward and kissed me. My arms went up around his broad shoulders, and he put his hands on both sides of my face. We felt a cold air whip around us. He pulled away and studied me.
"Are you doing that? If so please call Air off." He chuckled, which was interupted by a shiver.
It's not me." I shivered as well. A wierd, skin-crawling feeling ran up my spine. He obviously felt it to because we both tensed up.
We turned to face her presence. Nyx- the Goddess of Vampyres stood before us. (Actually floated, she was hovering off of the ground, not touching it.) Her long, black hair flowed down past her hip. She had on cresent moon earrings, and she was utterly beautiful. Even Stark was mesmerized by her presence.
"Hello my beautiful childeren. Zoeybird you have discovered your soulmate. You will now be placed with a Mark over your hearts, that will bind you forever. You will both also be given a gift of talking through your thoughts. Zoeybird I am giving you, yet another- gift to keep. The gift is a stronger affinity with Spirit. With Spirit you can now freeze people where they are, heal, and commence force fields around yourself, and the ones you love. Stark. I am giving you two gifts. The first gift is to be able to go outside in the sunlight without even a sunburn. Also, the gift of major speed. Use it to protect Zoey. Stevie Rae will also now have the ability to go outside in the daylight. Only if you- Zoey, give her this orb."
She put her hands together and pulled them apart as a ball of colours formed in her hands. She gave it to my care. I held it. I felt it's power. I felt power. I felt powerful.
"I am leaving you now Zoeybird, and her faithful Warrior, Stark. Be well. I know you can do it. Goodbye my dear ones. I love you."
And the Goddess, Nyx- vanished with her aura, power, and presence behind us.
