~Roxanne~

"I'm going to kick his ass," Danny said jumping out of his seat and slamming his hands on the table. Morgan and Miles saw me crying in the car after I sent Aurox in with Isis. They demanded I tell them what happened and Aurox spilled the beans.

"Please just let it go," I said as Morgan held me.

"No love," Miles said. "He doesn't get to hurt you again and walk away."

"It wasn't his fault I just didn't expect to see it happen," I said and they all looked at me oddly.

"Zoey is under a spell and she thinks she's in love with Erik. She just kissed him when we walked in," Aurox informed them.

"Since when do vampires do spells?" David asked.

"Since the dawn of time," I shrugged. "When I passed out earlier the vampires' Goddess Nyx was warning me. She tried to prepare me for this."

"So why is this happening?" Morgan asked.

"You remember when I told you that the only way to have peace is if the night and day join for it?" I asked her.

"So what does that have to do with you and Zoey?" Danny asked.

"We're night and day, we have to join as one to bring harmony."

"And this is what Isis was supposed to do. Why you traded your life for hers?" Miles asked.

"Yes."

"Didn't she die at the end of that story?" he asked making everyone freak out.

"You aren't dying for anyone," David yelled.

"Shut up," I yelled at him. "This is my life and if dying means all of you get to live without a human vampire war on your hands than I'd die a thousand time. I'd do anything to keep her safe and I know all of you would to," I yelled when my dad came through the kitchen door.

"You guys have to see this," he said turning on the tv.

Sharon Phillips of Fox23 was outside of the crazy-Jesus-freak church with Zoey's stepdad. "Here we are with Pastor Heffer who says he has proof of a pending vampire epidemic," she started. "Can you tell us some of the things you suspect they are trying to do?"

"Yes Ms. Phillips, I have recently learned from a trusted informant that the vampires are planning to eradicate the human race. Those few of us that remain will be food," he said creepily looking into the camera.

"And what proof do you have. For centuries we've live pretty peacefully with the vampires. They mostly choose to keep to themselves?"

"We've learned of a young girl that they've breed to have a vampire child," he said and I felt my heart sink into my stomach. How could he know something like that? "And as if that wasn't bad
enough they've found a way to turn the girl into a vampire."

"Oh dear God," my dad prayed by my side. I reached out and grabbed his hand. We all knew this day would come sooner or later, but now that it was here I had no idea of what to do.

"Do you hear that?" Aurox said.

"Yes," I said looking out the window.

"What are you two talking about I don't hear anything?" David said as he turned off the tv.

"Police sirens I have to get Isis," I said. "Stall them as long as you can," I said signaling Aurox to follow me upstairs.

"What are we going to do?" Aurox asked me as I packed a bag of essential and got some money from my rainy day jar.

"We are going to run long and far," I smiled at him. "Not literally because I can't run," I said calling Aphrodite. "Hey, Aph can you and Dragon meet me at your parents' place."

"Yes I know it's early in the morning. You're gorgeous how much beauty sleep could you need. Thank you Aph, and please on Nyx don't tell a soul about this," I said and she paused and agreed.

We got to Aphrodite's place and there was the whole gang. At least those who could brave the sunlight to make it here. "This isn't you and Dragon coming here alone," I yelled at her after I put Isis in a room upstairs with Shaunee and Erin.

"Grandma Redbird told us about the church," Damien said.

"We just need somewhere to keep Isis for a little while. I have a plan, but I need her to stay somewhere safe," I said to Aphrodite. She gave me a knowing look. She was going to take Isis somewhere safe as soon as she got the chance.

"We need to talk," Erik said pulling me aside. I watched the contempt play out on Zoey's face before I said anything. "Roxanne please."

"We have nothing to talk about. Not a damn thing," I sneered between my teeth.

"Isis is in dang"-

"I know that and the fact that you'd do this after everything I told you, after everything I did, makes it hurt twice as much," I yelled at him.

"Are you two alright?" Aphrodite asked. "You look like you're going to kill each other."

"We just might," I said looking Erik dead in the eye.

"You're behavior is uncalled for," Zoey said from behind Erik.

"I forget inviting you into this conversation," I said fixing my attention on her.

"I don't need your permission to do anything," Zoey yelled at me.

I made my way pass Erik so Zoey could see I meant business. "Listen here you little bitch. Your title as high priestess in training doesn't make you any better than me," I yelled at her and she snorted. "You aren't entitled to anything because you can control all the elements, so stop acting like a stuck up bitch. Because when it comes down to it, you're a worthless piece of shit."

"Roxanne stop," Erik said pulling me back.

"She's big and bad enough to start something she can be big and bad enough to finish it."

"I don't have to prove anything to you Roxanne. I already got what I want," she smirked at me than smiled at Erik.

"You little," I yelled and went to slap the smug smile off her face, but Erik caught my hand before it hit her, and he and Stark were pulling us away from each other. "I'm going to make you pay," I said jerking out of Erik's hold. I ran upstairs to say goodbye to Isis not knowing if I would come back alive.

The twins left us alone and went downstairs. Erik just stood by the door and watched me with Isis. I held her close and told her how much I loved her, and that she should be a good girl and follow the rules, and that I'd always be watching over her. Soon I had rocked her back to sleep and with tears in my eyes I lay her down and turned to the door.

Erik's eyes were red. He looked furious and I didn't care. He did this to himself. "You can't go out there and risk your life. You need a plan," he said as her grabbed my arm. I thought I could make a clean break, but that wasn't happening.

"Why are you acting like you care about my feelings Erik?" I questioned. "You just broke my heart. I could get ripped apart by the bull and it wouldn't hurt half as much. I hate you," I whispered not believing I could manage to say such a thing.

"You can't mean that. I need you. She needs you," he yelled at me.

"You should have thought about that before your tongue went down Zoey's throat," I yelled back at him and went down to the chaos unfolding downstairs. Everyone was yelling questions at Zoey and Aurox was the first to notice Erik and I come back into the room. I grabbed my purse and headed to the door. For some reason everyone was quiet and still.

"Don't go please?" Erik begged one last time. I halted at the door tears already falling. I turned and he closed the distance between us. He gently caressed my cheek and kissed me softly. "Please don't go."

"I love you so much, but I just can't do this. I can't be in a relationship with three people," I took off Erik's ring and put it in his hand. I kissed his cheek, said "Goodbye," and left.

For a couple of minutes Erik stood there frozen. He dropped to his knees and looked down at the ring in his hand. Erik greeted his teeth and let out a loud growl as he threw the ring at the door. He got up and went upstairs.

None of them had ever seen Erik look of defeated. He looked like misery herself. "Zoey you need to fix this as soon as possible," Damien said looking Zoey in the eye.

That was what she needed to snap out. In that moment watching Roxanne leave made the spell Beverly put on her break. Zoey had no idea of what she had done, but she had to fix it.
