Chapter 6

Selene POV.

I was dead still. I couldn't feel my body all I could do was think and feel but never touch or see. I was hurt. Everything was starting to fall apart. My life. My being. My world. I don't know why I did it but I did it. I was a cutter. The letter Erik had given me really messed me up. Was it because he said that he would love me until the cows came home. Which was impossible for them to come home because he didn't own a single animal. Was it because he asked me to love even if it was for just one day? Was I making a mistake by being bound to Jacen? Was that what my mom meant? Is this the reason I had to wait one year and one week just so Erik could come back and have me almost kill myself? Mom, Erebus if you can read my mind right now you and Erebus have sick minds. I thought. I felt someone grab my hand. The persons hand was warm on mine. He pulled my hand up to his face and his skin was so soft. He kissed my hand and was talking but it was a little hard to understand. I had to move. I had to know who this guy was. I felt his presence near me for over ten hours. He never left my bedside once not even to go to the bathroom. I let my mind wonder over who this mystery guy could be.

Erik POV.

I held Selene's hand close. It was like I was holding her life in my hands and if I let go she would die. No one had come to the hospital since I had arrived. I was a little worried that they might freak out if they saw me hear but I didn't care about that to much because I needed to be here with Selene. She was so helpless. I looked at her cuts again. I still wondered what could have caused them. I brushed her strands of hair away from her face. It seemed as if every time I moved them they appeared back in the place that I had just moved them from.

Lotus POV.

I was in the room Apollo shared with Eros. Eros was off with Kaylee doing Nyx knows what. I was sitting on Apollo's bed waiting for him to finish showering. Everyone was giving me the cold shoulder. What had I done? I was sad inside. Selene and I hadn't had a big fight like this since Jimmy Delocka told me he loved me and not her in grad one. Kaylee was avoiding me. When we crossed paths in our room she'd give me a dirty look and snarled at me. "Whats wrong?" Apollo interrupted my mind babble.

"Selene's in the hospital and everyone is giving me the cold shoulder." I said. I always told him what was on my mind and he never seemed to think it was like weird or anything. He loved when I told him what was wrong. The bond we had made me feel so comfortable in front of him and I was to happy for that.

"Don't worry they'll see how great you are and see how dumb they were to be mad at you." He said slinging one arm around me.

"And if they don't?" I asked him.

"They will." He kissed the top of my head.

"You weren't there when it happened." I said getting up. "I have to go back to my room." I said kissing him good bye and making my way back to my dorm.

Kaylee POV.

No one wanted to talk to Lotus right now after the whole blow up with Sel. I mean if she had never told Erik to come back she wouldn't have gotten that dumb ass letter and cut herself until she was dying. I still couldn't figure out how everything went from perfect to bad in less than a week away from the bonding ceremony. Jacen was a complete mess. He was drinking his life away. Stark was crying and Zoey was to but she was trying to be strong for Stark because Selene is his sister after all. No one had seen Erik since the birthday party and frankly we could all careless. No one visited the hospital because we were all afraid of what we might see. She could get worse or be dead and no one wanted to see that. I heard the door open and I thought that it might be my Eros but it was just Lo. "Hey Kay." She said in a sweet soft tone.

"Hi." I said.

"Can we talk." I nodded and motioned for her to sit on my bed. "I am so sorry like I didn't know things were going to turn out this bad." She sobbed. I felt some what bad.

"Lo its not all your fault but you did have a big chunk to do with it." I said.

"I know." She said looking up at me. "Do you remember the last time Sel and I fought." She smiled. How could I forget they stated a war in grade one over a boy named Jimmy Delocka. Selene called all the elements, her mad moon powers and all the gifts possible while little Lo called earth to her.

"Jimmy Delocka." I said and she laughed. "Who could forget when he picked you over the chosen one." I said laughing. "Lo don't blame yourself okay. Were your friends and we'll always be here for you if you need us." I said and she gave me a grateful smile. "The sisters." I said hugging her.

"The sisters." She said. She looked worried when we pulled apart. She was thinking about Selene not forgiving her.

"Don't worry Selene will forgive you." I said and she looked so relived. "Now Jacen, Stark, Z and I are going to see her . Do you wanna come?" I asked and she nodded. We walked down to the lobby and everyone was waiting for us. "Lets go." I said and leading the way to the car. We all got into the car a drove to the hospital.

Erik POV.

I opened the curtain so the moon light go shine on Selene. When she was in the light of the moon she glowed brighter than all of the stars in the universe. It was as if she was there mother, older than them all, the brightest and the leader. I walked back to her bed and took her hand again. I kissed it and kept on saying that everything was going to be okay. I don't know if I was saying it to her or myself. I heard a series of foot steps. I looked up and there was Zoey, Stark, Jacen, Kaylee and Lotus all standing in the doorway looking at me like I was crazy. "What are you doing here?" Jacen said moving closer to me but stopped. I squeezed Selene's hand.

"I'm here because she's hurt." I said my voice sounded strong.

"You did this to her." Stark said now standing beside Jacen.

"How?" I asked my voice sounded nothing more than a faint whisper.

"That letter you slipped her." Kaylee said now standing at Jacen's side.

"She cut herself because of what you wrote on that letter." Zoey said taking her place in the room beside Stark. I looked at all of the cuts the doctors had re-cleaned this morning and I didn't like that she had done it because now I saw that they were right it was all my fault.

"I didn't mean to." I said my voice trailing off into a series of words no one could hear even with there vampire ears.

"If she dies Erik you die." Stark said through his bared teeth.

"I think we should just kill him now." Jacen smiled and lethal smile that mad em e shake. I saw him look at my hand and how it was intertwined with Selene's. I didn't let go of her hand though. "She's mine." Jacen said in a powerful voice.

"She isn't a first place trophy." I told him.

"No she's just my soul mate." He said shrugging. "For all of eternity." He gave me an your dumb look.

"Erik just step away from her." I saw my soul twin Lo walking more into the room but standing at Kaylee's side instead of mine.

"Lo you know why I can't do that." I said trying to reason with my sister.

"Erik you've hurt her enough." She said looking at Selene and I saw tears form in Lo's eyes. "Please." She begged me.

"Lo I love you but I'm not leaving her side." I said. I was making my choice. They could kill me but I wasn't going to leave her side.

"Then I guess were going to kill you." Jacen said and they all got into a fighting stance. I saw the elements flying around Zoey, Lo had called Earth, Kay had spirit around her because I could see it in her aura and Stark had his bow drawn. I couldn't believe that my own twin had turned her back on me. Jacen on the other hand was just looking ready to fight. I had no clue what his gifts were but I bet they had something to do with sped, strength and that ability to kill with his hands. I gave Selene's hand another squeeze. "Prepare to die scum." Jacen said. Then all of a sudden a big blur was in front of me snarling.
