I Do Not Own House of Night!!!!

Neferet

I lay there tangled within the sheets, my arms resting upon Kalona's chest and his wing swept gently across my back. The sheets covering the both of from the waist down, while everything else was exposed. I let my eyes close and my muscles relax, I was horribly tired after what I had just done with Kalona and wanted to sleep it off for the next month.

"Tired Neferet?" his voice broke through my thoughts and I slowly opened my eyes again. When I did, they met his amber ones and if I had not known what he was, I would assume he was all loving and caring. I just nodded and nestled back into his chest. His musical laughter filled the air as he pulled me up into a sitting position.

"Now is not the time to sleep," his voice said sounding threatening as always. I just groaned and punched him in the chest to make him shut up. I was tired and I was going to sleep so he had better deal with it.

I guess he did not see it that way.

He pushed me off him and quickly dressed. I just grabbed one of the sheets and pulled it over my body. My legs were so damn sore; I would really need Loren to rub them later. I did not want to get up and I was not going to. Kalona could go and do what he wants, as if I damn well care.

I felt a sharp pain in my stomach as I felt his elbows rest there. I moaned and tried to push him off but I failed. His just pushed down harder until I almost screamed. I pulled the cover off from my head and glared at him.

"I said to get up, so get up," he ordered me as he put more pressure on my stomach. As if I had not been, sore enough I was going to have to deal with this kind of sore afterwards.

"Get off, your hurting me," I told him and his elbows left my stomach. I just huffed and got my clothing on. I swear what the fuck was so important that I could not get at least two hours worth of sleep.

"A-ya is coming back," Kalona told me, hints of excitement in his voice. While he was not looking, I let my face fall into a worried expression. I felt my stomach twist into a series of knots of the thought that Zoey was the reincarnated version of A-ya.

I just huffed and crossed my arms across my chest, I was supposed to hate Zoey and if Kalona caught sight that I suddenly did not I would be cluster fucked. I saw him shift his gaze over to me as I started to look for my pants that had seemed to just go missing.

Missing. Yeah that is what happened.

I finally found them and put them on; when I turned around, I met a crossed looking fallen angel. I kept my glare on him and it had nothing to do with the act I really was starting to get mad at this guy.

"You'll be coming with me when A-ya arrives," he told me, almost sounding like I was his slave and he was my master. I had to bite my tongue from barking out a laugh, there was no way I was going to Zoey. I could not face her knowing all the hate that is bottled up inside of her, if he wants her that bad he can go alone.

Wait, what was I thinking? I had to keep Kalona away from Zoey. No way was he going to be doing anything to her while I was still alive. My glare softened until it was almost a smile.

"Of course, I can't wait to see the look on her face," I sneered. If I said something with a sneer one more time, I was going to murder someone.

I knew she was coming; I was prepared for them to summon their elements. When I heard footsteps, I put on my fake mask as I saw them turn the corner. Just the sight of seeing Zoey injured the way she was made me want to run to her and make sure she was okay.

No.

I did have my plan though while she and I were alone in the infirmary I would get my chance to do some form of explaining. If she did not believe me, which she most likely won't I will just have to get Lenobia or Anastasia to tell her.

"Ah, so the prodigal returns?" My voice was melodic and I sounded slightly amused. Even though her voice was hushed, I could hear her whispering for her group to gather their elements. I heard the soft sound of a door opening and knew Kalona was behind me.

Fuck.

There was a moment or two of silence between us all as I kept my eyes on Zoey. I knew what she was doing and if I could stop her right now then I would, but that would arise many questions and possibly a death or two.

One having to be mine of course.

"She is wounded!" Kalona's voice boomed down the hall and broke me out of my thoughts. I had to admit that even I cringed at the sound of his voice. "Why is she not being tended?"

Not even a second later, I could hear the sound of wings fluttering, and then Kalona's favorite son Rephaim, at least I think that is what his name was stepped out of the room Kalona was just in. I hid my utter disgust for these creatures Kalona created, and as Loren would say, they were all cluster fucks.

I tuned him out while he went on to explain what had happened. I had to keep myself from rolling my eyes at him, so I just stood there in complete silence listening to the useless babble that was going on around me.

I knew I was going to have to say something so when Aphrodite said something about her staying here at the House of Night, I knew I would have to be rude.

"Surely, you don't think you can stay with Zoey through my examination?" All fake amusement that was in my voice left. "Stop being ridiculous! Darius take into that room and leave her on the bed. If you insist, you may wait here in the hall for her, though by the look of you, the wiser choice would be for to get something to eat and refresh yourself. After all, you have brought Zoey here, where she is safe your job is done. As for the rest of you, I will have to ask you to return to your dorms," I turned to Aphrodite keeping a hard and cold mask on.

"But your are now a human, are you not, Aphrodite?"

I am," she said, I noticed her pale face as she lifted her chin and met my somewhat frigid gaze. I swear I would need to thank Nolan for helping me with all this acting later, after I beat her senseless.

"Then you don't belong here." I made a vague motion with my hand away from the group, more towards the outside. If she were to go out there though, I would grab her and yank her back inside.

I barely noticed Zoey even talk before Kalona was directing his attention to me. I just sighed and tuned back in to what everyone was saying.

"Interesting. Neferet, my Queen, you did not tell me you had a prophetess at the House of Night, this is most excellent, most excellent, A prophetess can be quite useful." I thought about what he had just said. Well of course, I did not tell him about Aphrodite! I was trying to protect her as well.

"But she is not a fledgling, nor is she a vampyre, and thus she does not belong at the House of Night. So I say she should leave." I noticed my voice had a really odd tone to it. Something I never did in my entire lifetime.

I was pouting.

Before anymore time could pass, Kalona reached out and stroked the side of my cheek, down my neck to my shoulder blade, and cascaded down my back. I trembled under his cold hand as he told me of the use Aphrodite could be to us. I simply nodded, it was the only thing I could do right now.

Anastasia

"You had to bring him back Patricia?" I asked her, looking at Loren lying down on the bed looking completely relaxed. He slowly turned his head over to and he raised an eyebrow.

"Don't try to kid yourself into thinking you didn't miss me," he said, and I just laughed. Loren was trying to be serious and just like Nolan, it just did not fit him all too well in a situation such as this one.

"Not in the slightest Blake. So have you figured out what you're going to be telling Zoey?" I asked him. He just shot me a glare and I could not understand where it was coming from. The next thing he did I thought he was going to hit something, he shot up from the bed and walked right past me going to who knows where.

"He doesn't like talking about it," I heard a soft voice say from the other side of the room. I looked up and saw Nolan walking towards me. Her face was lacking its usual smile and warmth, something happened and it had to have been bad to bring her down.

"Now that Zoey is actually back well he feels pissed at himself. I told him a million and one times it was Kalona who did that to him but he still wants to blame himself," she said and I just nodded turning my head to where Loren had departed.

"Dragon is the same way. If I get hurt it's always his fault according to him," I told her and laughed at that. I guess men will be men.

Loren

How stupid can I possibly get? No I should not even answer that question because I never wanted to know the right answer. How was I supposed to explain this all to Zoey and make her believe me? I mean I have no real memory of what happened between her and me, what was I going to do now?

"Still giving yourself shit over there Blake," I heard another male voice say to me as footsteps came up behind me and I turned to see Dragon standing behind me. I just sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, I really needed to tie it up it was starting to grow a little past my neckline.

"Pretty much," I mumbled and looked up at the sky through the glass window. It was a horrible storm out there and no form of moonlight could be seen with all the ice. I sighed as I leaned against the wall and lifted my head just a bit.

"Dragon, you have to help me out," I nearly pleaded with him.

End.
