Hey sorry for the wait and thanks for the reviews. I don't own the house of night, nor am I claiming to. I hope you love this. =}

~Roxanne~

Erik and I were getting pizza and watching The Lord of the Ring again. He planned a stress free evening of Monopoly, cookie baking, and poker. "I can't wait for the sexy pizza man to come," I said teasing Erik.

"Yeah I'm not paying for some loser to hit on my fiancé," he warned.

"But it's so much fun," I said kissing him on the cheek and playing in his hair.

"You're ruining the movie," he frowned.

"So you rather watch The Lord of the Ring for the millionth time then make out with the super-hot girl in front of you?" I asked him.

"Kindda," he smiled.

"You're such a helpless nerd," I sighed sitting back.

"I love you two," Erik said trying to put his arm around me, but I playfully moved away. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me onto his lap. "Do you love me?" he asked tickling me.

"I'd love you more if we could skip the movie and go straight to desert?" I asked with a devilish smile.

"So no sexy pizza guy?" he asked grabbing the phone.

"Unless you're into that kindda thing," I said wiggling my eyebrows. Erik wrapped his arms around me when there was a knock on the door. "Here I come sexy pizza man," I said racing to the door.

I opened the door to Zoey staring wide eyed at me. "Hey Z," I smiled.

"Hey can I talk to Erik?" Zoey asked as Erik came to the door.

"You're not the sexy pizza man," Erik said making me laugh, "Hey Z."

Zoey was eyeing Erik and I realized we had been playing strip poker and he was down to his Hanes shorts. "Hey can we talk Erik…alone?" she added.

"Um sure," Erik said looking at me oddly when I answered for him. "Let me know when the pizza's here," I said wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him in a way I knew it made Zoey uncomfortable.

"Okay," Erik said looking at my oddly.

"Later Z," I smiled.

"""""""""""""

It was another sleepless day for me. I watched as Erik slept beside me and I just lied there. I was trying really hard to remember my dream. I knew whatever happened was important, but if it was I'd remember it right? Everyone kept telling me that and saying I shouldn't worry. It's almost been a month of quite her at school. According to them it's a rear occurrence. I think this means something's going on behind the scenes and maybe the dream was the key to piecing it all together.

I got out of bed sure to leave a note for Erik this time. I didn't want him to worry, but I need to run. Running cleared my mind and it tried me. I but on my shorts and put my hair up. I threw on a hoodie to hide some of my marks and I covered the others with makeup. I started my run at the parking lot by the North wall. I didn't know where I was going but I knew my legs would get me there.

I came across the tunnels were I saw Aphrodite. "Hey Aph are you okay," I asked squatting. I looked up at her when she didn't respond. "Aphrodite, are you okay," I said grabbing her. She was cold, and not in the bitchy way she normally was. Her skin felt like ice, and I knew that wasn't good. She also was wearing a silk night gown and no shoes. When I looked up at her face, her eyes were white and milky and she was crying. "Aphrodite if you can hear me wake up," I said shaking her. "Aphrodite!"

She took a deep breath in and her eyes turn their cruel blue color. "What the hell?" she said as if it were a question. Aphrodite was still shaking and I didn't know if it was from the cold, or fear. My guess was the latter.

"Did you have a premonition, or something?" I asked giving her my hoodie.

"I don't know how I got here," she said looking around.

"What did you see?" I asked.

"We need to find Zoey first," she said as Darius appeared out of nowhere.

"Thank the Goddess you're okay," Darius said holding her. "What happened?"

"She had a premonition"-

"I can speak for myself," she spat at me.

"I just helped your ungrateful ass," I spat back at her.

"What do you want…a thank you?" she asked and I knew I wasn't going to get one.

"We need to get back to the school," I said to Darius.

"Come on. I parked over there," he said taking us to his car.

~Zoey~

Stark and Kramisha were unable to pull themselves out of bed for Roxanne's emergency meeting. We all decided to meet in Aphrodite's parents' house. It was close to campus and private enough so we had nothing to fear. Erik was the last to arrive, and he imidately wrapped his arms around Roxanne. Make stomach turned at the sight. I knew I shouldn't feel the way I do, but I hated seeing her with him.

"Since everyone one's here why don't you start from the beginning Roxanne?" I asked her.

Roxanne gave me a shaky smile, "I couldn't sleep so I went for a run"-

"That explains the shorts," Shaunee said.

"Yep runner chic," Erin added.

"Ditto twin I need a new pair of Nike shorts," Shaunee sighed.

"You don't run twin," –

"Hey not what we're doing," Damien reminded him.

"Sorry," They said together.

"Any who I was running and I found myself at the tunnels. I stopped and I saw Aphrodite," Everyone turned to look at Aphrodite, who returned our looks with an angry glare. "Can I help you?" she asked.

"Why were you at the tunnels?" Erik asked sounding just as annoyed as she was.

"None of your business," she hissed at him.

"Aph," Roxanne said in a come on sorta way.

"I had a sleep walky-vision-thingy," she sighed.

"What did you see?" Stevie Rae asked.

"Can you give me a second pumpkin?" Aphrodite asked.

"Awe someone didn't get their beauty sleep," Erin teased.

"I didn't think she's ever gotten any," Shaunee teased.

"Guys," I warned going over to Aphrodite. "What did you see?" I asked trying to comfort her.

"Neferet and the bull are going to wash the world in darkness. There's some key to open a portal of darkness in the Earth. They need the day and night joined to open it," she said.

"How do you join the day and night?" Stevie Rae asked.

"I didn't see that part and I don't want to. Maybe Kramisha will know something," she shrugged.

"We need to find out so we can get the key and destroy it," Erik said,

"Can you ask Rephaim and Kalona about it?" I asked Stevie Rae.

"I will," she simply replied.

"Maybe you and Roxanne are the key?" Damien said.

"I"- I started then I noticed Roxanne wasn't in the room anymore. "Where did Roxanne go?" I asked Erik.

"She needed to talk to her dad about something," he said nodding towards the kitchen.

"Okay… Do you think Roxanne and I are the key?" I asked Aphrodite annoyed that Roxanne wasn't here for the meeting she called.

"I didn't see it I just know it's what they need," she sighed.

"Fine," I shrugged. "Meeting adjourned," I said allowing everyone to leave.
