I Do Not Own House of Night.
Neferet's Pov
"Great, I get to raise an immortal tonight!" I complained getting out of bed Lenobia was still sounding asleep on the other side. I looked over at the clock and it was only 5:30 p.m. I stretched and walked over to the window.
"If only tonight was going to be a normal night…then I could just get on with it already. I walked into the washroom, went, and looked in the mirror. I still looked unaffected by anything going on, but vampyers are beautiful no matter what. I took a brush through my hair and walked back into my room.
"That's it your waking up now, whether you—"I was interrupted by a knock on the door. Who besides me is even up at this time? I glared at Lenobia as I walked over to open the door.
"Hey there sexy how ya' been?" Nolan said leaning against the doorframe. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her. She hugged me back, tighter.
"I need to breathe," I said as she let go of me. She had not changed once bit. Her long black hair still flowed behind and she still had her timeless figure to boot.
"Why is Lenobia sleeping in your bed?" She asked walking closer to get a better look. I walked over beside her smiled.
"I had a dream and Kalona was in it. I woke up and couldn't breathe properly so she rushed in and got me a glass of blood, after that she sleep with me in my bed so that if Kalona comes again she'd be there," I explained to her. She looked over at me with eyes that looked as if they would burst into tears.
"Neferet…." She said as she gave me another hug. I hugged her back and leaned my head against her shoulder as a tear slipped down my face and onto the fabrics of her dark blue, knee length dress. I pulled away from here as I looked back at Lenobia.
"How do you think we should get her up?" Nolan asked me. I walked to the other side of the bed and thought it over. What would be a good way to wake up sleeping beauty over here? My eyes went to my pillow and I smiled as I looked up at Nolan.
"She will murder us!" Nolan hissed trying to contain her laughter. I just shook my head as I grabbed two pillows and threw one over to her. I walked to the other side of the bed and stood beside Nolan.
"1…2...3!" I shouted as we attacked Lenobia with the pillows. She shot up in the bed and looked wide-awake, but that did not stop us from attacking her.
"What the fucking hell!" She screamed getting out of the bed and grabbing the pillow out of my hand and hitting me with it. I heard Nolan fall against the wall laughing uncontrollably
I got up and smirked at Lenobia who seemed to cool down a bit. She whipped the pillow back on the bed, crossed her arms and cocked an eyebrow waiting for some form of explanation.
I pointed to the idiot laughing her head off at the wall.
"Patricia!" Lenobia screamed and tackle hugged her. It was my turn to burst out laughing at the looks of them. Patricia was one for giving and receiving hugs.
"Yes, yes it is I, and your very excited," She said. I looked over at her with a questionable look. She knew I was wondering how Loren was.
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot there Neferet so Loren is awake he knows what went down, and he's looking a lot better then before. I think he should be %100 in a couple of days," She said I breathed a sigh of relief at the thought.
"Um…speaking of Loren…can I…see him…."I said, my voice cracking between words at the thought of Loren. My Loren, the one whom I sent to death.
"Yeah, sure we can go right now, he's awake and he wants to see you to," Nolan said, wearing a smile to make me feel better, it worked and I found the corners of my mouth rising a bit.
"Get dressed so you can see your husband already," Lenobia said throwing the pillow back at me.
Loren's Pov
"I'm more then just happy to see you again Neferet," I said my lips leaving trails of kisses over her neck. We were in the underground room and we were alone.
What a perfect combination.
"We can't do that right now, I only have a couple more hours until I get to joy of bringing Kalona up from his prison as he likes to call it," She said turning around in my arms so I couldn't reach her neck.
"I really wish you didn't have to do this love," I said my fingers gently stroking her face. I watched her close her eyes and snuggle into my chest. There was silence between us both, though it wasn't the least bit awkward.
"So do I, but there's nothing we can do about that yet when we can then we will," She said sounding as if she were about to cry. I only hugged her tighter as I felt almost all of her pain.
"What was the dream about?" I finally asked, I'd been avoiding the subject until I knew she was calm enough to talk about it.
"Kalona…me in a grassy field…he was touching me and kissing me and I couldn't control anything my body was doing," She told me and I all I did was nod and run my hand up and down her arm.
"I know love, but I also can't come to terms that he will be having sex with you, I say sex because a creature like him could never make real love to you, and mean it," I said, anger dripping into my voice like venom.
"Only you can make me more loved then I ever will Loren," She said, bringing her lips up to mine.

Zoey's Pov
I could not believe what had just happened. We moved the circle away from the tree as a sickening ripping sound came from it. I already knew what was about to happen and I did not want to believe Neferet had become like this.
Kalona was awake and he was ready to take his Queen.
As he came into full view from the spilt tree, I gaped at his looks. He was like a god come to earth with his black wings and black hair just nearly blowing in the night wind. His face looked like a piece of art, carefully drawn to the smallest detail.
"Arise with me, children!" He called out as Raven Mockers burst from the ground and took the sky. There were so many I could not even begin to damn count them all. What awoke me from shock was Aphrodite's hiss.
"Come on! We have to go now!" She hissed as me, as we increased out pace thanks to the still ground. I looked at Neferet as a wicked smile crossed her face; she went before Kalona and stood there.
"My Queen," He said, inclining his head in a gesture of respect towards her. I almost pucked from the site.
"My Consort," She said back to him and facing the crowd, proclaiming he was Nyx's consort and the new Lord on earth. They all dropped to knees and I could not believe the site, they were being fooled but they would not listen to me right now.
It was only Shekinah who did not look like she was buying any of this bullpoopie. She was staring right at Neferet, and when Neferet caught her gaze, she made a small flick of her wrist and Shekinah hit the ground.
As we kept moving towards the trap door, I dialed Mary Angela's number and told her everything that was happening. When I hung up, I saw Neferet just staring at me.
"We're there; now get this damn door open!" Aphrodite said her tone anything but calm.
"I have already opened it for you," came Darius's voice. I looked at him and was relieved to see jack and Duchess in one piece.
"If you're going to be with us, you have to be against them," I pointed to where Kalona, Neferet and the mind-controlled fledglings were.
"I've already made my choice," He said.
"Can we just get out of here? She's scaring me," Jack said.
"Z, you'll need to buy us some more time, get the elements to shield us, all of them," Aphrodite said, sounding calmer then before but then again Darius was here.
I closed my eyes and centered myself as I commanded wind, fire, water, and spirit to cover us and protect us. To take us out of Neferet's view, as they obeyed me I felt such a drain I'd never felt in my life.
I felt my teeth grind together as the elements swarmed around us, I could hear them all, and working to keep us safe from what was about to come. Before we went through the trapdoor, I got one last glimpse of a confused Neferet as she searched for us.
"We need to get to the tunnels, it's the only safe place we can go now," Stevie Rae's weak voice came into the air.
"Tunnels?" Darius asked.
"Under the city, old Prohibition hiding places. The entrance is through the deport downtown.
Screams filled the air around us as bright balls of fire blossomed in the sky like deadly flowers.
"It seems the Raven Mockers got their bodies back and they're feeding on humans," Aphrodite said.
"They can use fire?" Shaunee asked, looking pissed.
"Better believe it," Aphrodite said.
"No!" Aphrodite yelled as Shaunee lifted her arms, she put them back down as she realized what would happen if she evoked fire.
We knew that there was only one safe place we could go now to escape Kalona and Neferet and that, was in the tunnels.
"We've gotten into the tunnels before, haven't we?"
"Yep, sure we have," Aphrodite, said.
"Then let's go, here's out plan, we have to become mist and shadows, night and darkness. We don't exist. No one sees us. We are the night and the night is us." While explaining this I felt a shiver through my body as it turned to mist.
I heard Erik's voice call me out of my trance and I snapped back to reality.
"Now, you guys do it. Concentrate. It's no different then when you've sneaked off before. You are mist and shadow. No one can see you. No one can hear you. Only night is here, and you are apart of night."
End.
