A/N: I know I haven't done anything with this story at all in a while. I've been awfully busy and had no real ideas on where to go with this story. I'm thinking I need to cut it off somewhere but I'm not sure where. It's thus far been sex and the building of their relationship; mostly sex though.

It had been a month since Zoey and Aphrodite's little romp with Stevie Rae. They had had fun, but it was nothing really, just a little friendly play.

Now Zoey and A were in bed, A was sound asleep, but Zo was restless. It was just one of those nights (well, days, but you get the point).

She stared down at her lover and stroked her blonde hair. She watched as her eyes fluttered behind her eyelids and a small smile spread across her face, obviously having a nice dream. Zoey could feel that there was something brewing and she knew it was too good to be true for her life to be so perfect and care free.

She hated knowing that something awful was about to get in the way of her and A's amazing time together.

It felt like forever that they had been together but as Zoey thought it was only about two months. Now some poopie storm was on it's way to shake up their little piece of Nyx's Realm (see what I did there?).

Her gut churned as she sat there under plush, smooth sheets with the one she'd die to protect. She hoped that A was getting some really good rest because she knew if there was poopie coming Z's way then A would march her stubborn butt in and make it come her way, too.

She smiled at the thought of her sexy, little Prophetess busting in to fight next to her. She couldn't do much, but she had looks that could kill and words like daggers. She loved to see A fired up.

Zoey kissed A's head and decided to get a shower then maybe that would relax her enough to sleep. She crept silently to the bathroom and turned on the shower to it's hottest setting. She poked her head out of the bathroom to check that the sound of the shower hadn't awoken A then took off her clothes as the water came to heat. She stuck one foot in and sighed then heard the screams of her Prophetess from her bed.

"No! NO, STOP! DAMMIT, THAT FUCKING HURTS!"

She rushed in naked to find the blonde writhing and screaming. Sweat was dripping from her forehead and her eyes were filling with blood.

"Not a fucking vision..." Zoey cussed without even a blink of an eye. She sat down on the bed and clutched A's hand. She knew this was connected to her feelings of a terrible strom coming.

"Baby, tell me what you see. You gotta tell me now, what is it?"

"I-I see the White Bull... He's with Neferet a-and they have y-you in a room... An old brick room, dingy and dirty."

"Shhh, it isn't real... It isn't just keep telling me, it'll be over soon."

"W-wa-water first." Zoey wiped the tears from her lovers face before getting a glass and filling it. She wet a washcloth as well and walked back to the bed. She sat down and placed the wet washcloth over A's eyes as she had done several times before. She handed the her the water and watched as she gulped greedily.

"Who's point of veiw are you seeing all of this from?"

"M-mine..."

"Oh Goddess... What hurts so badly?"

"The tendrils... Neferet is making them slash my skin a-and they are drinking from me. She laughing and the Bull is almost smirking... It's awful."

Z took the glass back and sat and listened as the shaking girl beside her spoke her worst fears. "Z-zoey... You tell them to take from you, not me... A-and then Neferet takes her chance... Sh-she sends more Darkness towards me. You lash out with Air to distract her and she just deflects it... You yell one last time for them to take from you and she hurls Darkness at you... They slice you up and take so much from you... You're screaming for me and I can't move... You stop screaming then you stop moving and they leave to show that you... you're... OH MY Goddess, you're DEAD! NO!"

A thrashed about trying in vain to stop the inevitable ending she just watched occur. Z took her into her arms and cried with her, not knowing what she should think of her own death flashing before her lover's eyes. She said she'd die for her and apparently, in this form of her fate, she did...

"Calm down, sweetie. We've changed fate before we can do it again. No way will I let them get anywhere near you."

"Th-they took me to get to you. Neferet knows I'm now your biggest weakness... She knows you'll do anything to keep me safe."

"And she's damn right... But we're gonna do our best to keep the both of us out of danger. Just lay here and let your eyes clear up... I need to get a shower and clear my mind."

"O-okay."

Zoey knew that her lover was weeping beneath the washcloth she had placed over her bloodied eyes. She couldn't help but feel a knot form in her throat. She hadn't expected this bad of a future to come. She had hoped that she was only going to sense the bad things to come. The Goddess obviously had different plans and now the both of them knew what they needed to change and would be worrying together, looking for the key to make the future better.

Zoey stepped into the shower, it was now only slightly hot from running for a while. 'Ugh, I forgot to turn it off...' She knew that was the smallest problem she had to deal with, but it felt good to take her mind off of the awful thing A had just watched behind her eyelids.

Zoey went on autopilot as she washed her long, dark hair and scrubbed at her light olive skin. She wished she could scrub away all the bad that had happened in her and A's lives and all the bad seen and unseen in their future's.

As she dried herself off she sent up a silent prayer to the Goddess,asking for guidance. She picked up a sweatshirt and some panties and slid them both on. She walked to the bed to find A staring at her with sad, bleary eyes.

"What the fuck are we going to do, babe?"

"I don't know... But we will figure something out."

Zoey got under the covers and took Aphrodite into her arms. A began to sob again and kept asking why over and over. Z cried right along with her and could only answer with " I don't know..."

Eventually, that eerie calm swept over the both of them and the tears stopped flowing. They just sat in silence thinking of what they could do to stop the awful vision A had been shown.

"Nyx wants us to stop it... That's why she showed you, A. We just have to find out how."

"We will. We have to."

Zoey tilted A's chin up so she could look into her loving eyes. She pressed her lips to A's and tried to convey all of her love and hope through that single kiss. A pressed back deeply. All through the rest of that night they held on to each other tighly, like if either one let go the other would disappear.

They slowly drifted into a lucid sleep, halfway between consciousness and nightmares. They only saw images of death and destruction all at the hands of Neferet and Darkness personified.

How would they stop this awful ending?

How?

A/N: I hope you all liked it, I really wanted to shake things up. Tell me what you thought and suggest ways to avoid the awful future that Aphrodite was shown. Stay amazin' and please review!
