Next chapter when I just wrote that bit I thought of the song "Love is in the air" but don't worry it isn't in the story well love is, not the song…here's the story :)

Shaunee didn't know what possessed her to tell Kalona that but she did, she sighed dropping onto her bed with a yawn she knew she had to have a shower and have dinner but she was to tired, she closed her eyes, fully clothed except for her shoes and she fell asleep.

Shaunee didn't dream she just slept, she woke once her body told her to, she yawned looking at her clock it was early for a vampire but Shaunee new she couldn't go back to sleep, anyway her stomach told her she was hungry by growling loudly into the silence rubbing her eyes Shaunee got up stripping her clothes off, put her dressing gown on and grabbed her towel, she exited her room and went to the showers.

The shower felt good and woke her up she put her dressing gown back on and started walking back to her room rubbing her hair with the towel; she sensed his presents as she has somehow always been able to and she turned.

"What brings you down here? It's still light out Rephaim won't be human for a few more hours"

"I know but as Swords Master it is my duty to protect fledglings from the house of night, so I came here to make sure all is well"

"Well I'm sure it is otherwise people would have woken me" Kalona's amused smile was on his lips and Shaunee remembered she was in her dressing gown a wet towel in her hand and her hair out still drying, she stifled the urge to cover herself it would only amuse him further Shaunee wasn't in the mood to amuse anyone.

"If that's all I'm hungry and going to have breakfast if something's wrong we'll call you" she said

"Very well see you soon Shaunee" he said with a bow his amber eyes never leaving her, she turned first resisting the new urge to give him a really good reason to watch her go.

No one else was awake as Shaunee poured herself a bowl of cereal but just as she finished it Zoey came out

"Hey Zoey" Shaunee said as Zoey got herself some brown pop and cereal

"Hey Shaunee" Zoey said with a tired smile she couldn't blame her Zoey had a lot of responsibility on her shoulders and it only seemed to continue to get heavier, Zoey seemed a little down so Shaunee figured she should make her think of something else.

"Hey Zoey, can I ask you something?" Zoey looked up.

"Of course" she said swallowing her mouth full of cereal.

"Do you believe in a connection you can get to someone immediately? One you can't explain like you always know when they are close? You can't find in in yourself to be afraid of them even though you have every reason to you…you trust them without any proof do you know what I mean?" she asked Zoey smiled softly.

"Yeah Shaunee I do, I've felt it myself when I first met Stark I felt like I knew him, that I could trust him and even though I knew he was dangerous even after he had shot Stevie Rae, I still trusted him and I wasn't afraid of him, I had no proof other than five minutes alone with him where he gave me every reason to stay away from him but still it couldn't be helped"

Shaunee nodded taking this in Zoey smiled again.

"The connection you're talking about it one found in soul mates" Zoey said causing Shaunee's head to snap up.

"No, no, no it's not that it can't be I…I mean it's just…no, no" Shaunee said shaking her head that was ridiculous she was just going crazy and her fledgling powers is what caused her to know when he's around that was it!

Zoey smiled into her brown pop like she knew something Shaunee didn't Shaunee stood and left feeling cornered under her friends knowing stare.

Shaunee was in her room looking for her phone when she remembered she gave it to Kalona with a sigh Shaunee got out her make-up and begun hiding her mark.

Shaunee walked out of the electronics store with the new phone she got for Kalona and the new laptop and internet modem thingy in a bag she was looking down in her bag when she ran into someone.

"Oh I'm sor…" Shaunee stopped seeing who it was, Erin.

"What brings you out here?" she asked Erin.

"That's my business not yours" Erin replied in her snarky way, how had the two of them ever been so close?

"Fine I'll be going then" Shaunee said moving to get past her.

"What do you have there?" Erin suddenly asked.

"That's my business not yours" Shaunee said Erin smiled but it wasn't a nice smile, it was one of a teacher putting up with a bad child.

Erin could see through the clear bag.

"New phone? Of course you gave yours to Kalona right, what? You hoped gifting him would win you points into his bed? I hear he takes anyone well he must to take you" Shaunee glared at her not bothering to reply Erin was a waste of time; she went to pass her but Erin blocked her.

"What no comment? No comeback? How could I not see how pathetic you were without me? Always whining about something as stupid as you, oh my dad won't talk to me, oh I'm so unloved, no surprise why, why would anyone bother to have anything to do with you? You're not smart, you have no taste, you can't hold a boyfriend honestly Shaunee is there any point to your miserable existence at all?"

Shaunee's eyes burned with hate for this girl in front of her.

"Fire come to me" she growled her element exploded around her more powerful than she had ever let it, passers-by gasp and shrieked running away Erin smirked.

"Water come to me" she said water too came around Erin but not as powerfully as Shaunee.

"Heat this place up fire, so hot water cannot survive without turning to steam" Shaunee said it softly and before Erin could realise what happened.

"What?!" she shrieked realising Shaunee had out-maneuvered her, she couldn't control steam, there was no trace of her element around her, Shaunee wanted to burn her to make her pay for the insults she had delivered but Shaunee looked at Erin and the small amount of fear in her ice blue eyes, she was nothing a pathetic creature who only got off by hurting others, if Shaunee hurt her she would be no better so instead she said.

"Thank you fire you may go now" with that she picked up her bags and walked away the strong smell of water suddenly reached Shaunee she turned, Erin was about to attack but suddenly a hulking figure took up the space Kalona was there and he had a very tight grip on Erin's wrist.

"Only a coward would attack from behind, which is exactly what you are, you are a pathetic creature Erin and I pity you" with that he pushed Erin away she stumbled to the ground, tears in her eyes she got back up all traces of her element gone, she got up and ran.

Kalona turned his eyes burning into hers they were completely alone the same feeling came to her as it always did she felt safe, absolutely safe, even though she knew he was dangerous, more dangerous than probably anyone she will ever meet, Shaunee remembered the conversation she had with Zoey and closed her eyes.

'Oh hell'

I liked this chapter I thought thinking up insults would be difficult but it all sort of flowed out well :) So what's gonna happen? :) Guess we'll have to find out, review if you can please :)
