They walked over to us with a kind of beauty. Flawless. I also could tell Dragon was leading them over to me.
"Zoey Redbird. It is a pleasure to see you again." Dragon gripped my forearm, in the traditional vampyre greeting. I then realized Stark hasn't said a word, since the Ritual.
"Are you okay?" I whispered to him.
"Yeah." He rested a hand on my shoulder. "Just tired."
I nodded in agreement, but I knew I would be meeting the Fledgings at this moment.
"Zoey. This is Calista." He pointed to another pretty blond girl. (Another pretty blond?!) She had short hair like Stevie Rae's, that was tied up in a ponytail.
"Hi." She said to me. I smiled.
"These Fledgings are, Kaleyse, Selene, Lotus, and Shaune." Three beautiful brunettes stepped out of the pack. They smiled warmly at me, and walked back to their spot in their group. A boy stepped out, and walked over to Shaunee. They looked almost identical. Both a lovely, cocha colour skin. They smiled, warmly at eachother. Very warmly.
He pointed to a group of five kids. "They are Bree, Alice, Caitlyn, Devon, and Christopher. He prefers to be called Chris though." Chris nodded in agreement. While the other kids channelled their 'hellos'.
"Last but not least, these five Fledgings are.." He pointed to the last five kids in the group. "Amber, Kate, Riley, Jayce, and Night." Night sure did remind me of Erik. They all smiled warmly at me.
"Okay eveyone. Go get some sleep, we could all use it." I made a hand gesture towards Stark, who was silently sleeping on my shoulder. He looked adorable. They chuckled, and started to walk out of the room. "Wait!" I yelled, waking Stark up. "Welcome to the House Of Night." I smiled.
"They eagerly returned the smiles back. Stark was starting to doze off, again.
"Wind come to me." I felt the Air aound me change. "Blow Stark, and I, to my room, without hurting us. And Spirit, be with every Fledging, and Stark, making them feel at home." Stark woke up, and we were flown to my room. We collapsed on my bed.
"I love you Stark." I murmured.
"I love you too, Zoey." He whispered.
I fell asleep in the comfort, and safety of my beloved, Warrior's arms.
