Waking up was wierd. I was used to the warm, sensational feeling of my protective Warrior beside me. But the bed was empty. (Besides me.) I started feeling tense and nervous. Worried.
Stark. Stark, where are you?
In the Kitchen fetching you a snack.
Hurry back.
Always.
I sat up in my bed, and decided to check my calls. Their was a missed one from my Grandma. I flipped open the phone, searched through my contacts, and called my Grandma. She picked up on the first ring.
"Zoeybird! What a wonderful surprise!"
I choked back tears, "Hi Grandma."
"How are you, deary?"
"Good, just tired. We defeated Kalona yesterday."
Her voice instantly filled with excitement, "I knew you could do it, Zoeybird! I am so proud of you!"
"I miss you Grandma." I started to cry a tiny bit.
"I miss you Grandma."
Stark walked in the room, holding a tray of food. "I got to go Grandma."
"I love you. I am so proud of you. I know our relatives are proud of you too. I can feel it."
"I love you too, Grandma."
Stark came up to me, and took my hand.
"I got to go to the store to get some sweaters. I will be back before two hours." He kissed me quickly, and I left.
As I was going out to my Vintage VW Bug, something hit the back of my head, really hard- making me pass out.
