My Version of Burned
Chapter 12
Stark's POV
Nervously, I sat on Zoey's bed outside of her en-suite bathroom.
I couldn't believe that Zoey was, or was going to be, pregnant but what I couldn't believe more was what Aphrodite said was going to happen. From her vision, I mean.
Of course I knew that she was 'vision girl' and all that, but didn't her visions change sometimes? Wouldn't we be able to stop them? She saw Zoey dying twice and the first time we stopped it and even though she almost died the second time, she still came back.
As soon as I had finished pondering, Zoey walked out of her bathroom and three things happened at once.
Damien burst into her room, crying dramatically.
She bolted to me and completely soaked my shirt with tears before passing out.
And lastly, the two people from Aphrodite's vision walked through the door, smiling wickedly.
"Stevie Rae is dead...for good."
"I'm pregnant."
"Missed us?"
Obviously the first thing I did was make sure Zoey was okay by laying her down on her bed, checking her breathing and then making sure she was in no danger. Immediate danger at least because I couldn't protect her from everything all the time...
What was I saying? Of course I could! I could protect Zoey and would because I loved her more than anything in the entire universe.
"I love you." I whispered in her ear after I had laid her down. Thankfully, she was breathing and she had just fainted.
After I had sorted out Zoey, I went over to Damien and told him to stay with her and look after her.
I gestured for the other two to go outside and followed them after they did.
The first thing I did when we were out of Zoey's room was to punch him.
What else would I have done?
I couldn't believe how much danger he was putting her in. If they hadn't come, Zoey would have eventually banished Kalona and Neferet and we could have raised her baby as our own. We could have got married and started our family...
"What was that for?" He interrupted my mind babbling, scowling menacingly at me.
"For putting Zoey in danger, once again..." I told him, "If you ever, ever do anything to hurt her, just know this: I. Will. Kill. You."
"And I expect you think you're something to Zoey? Like you always have to protect her..." He retorted, laughing and nudging the girl besides him as she joined in.
"Well yeah, I kinda do." I snorted, scornfully laughing in my head at the fact that he didn't realise she was my Queen.
"Who do you think you are? Her warrior?" He chuckled obnoxiously, "I mean, I know you're her boyfriend and all that but that doesn't technically make you her protector." I couldn't help but burst out laughing at his speech. There was so much he didn't know...
"Actually, it kinda does." I said, preparing to laugh right in his face, "I am her warrior; I've given her my pledge and all."
That served him right. He thought I couldn't see it, but I could; that little flash of pain that showed up in his eyes. She definitely saw it. I could tell by the worry showing in her eyes; foolish little girl. Why couldn't she see that he was just using her?
Actually, she looked about Zoey's age so I couldn't really call her a little girl. If I was thinking about it, I would call Zoey a woman, but this teenager just didn't seem worthy of being called the same as my Zoey. She was in fact, a slut if you looked at her carefully enough. At a glance or a photo or a drawn picture you would think that she was a perfectly normal girl, but in real life you could tell that she wasn't. For one, the painfully hard glare in her eyes was really unnatural but what was more unnatural was the deep purple, lightning-shaped tattoo on her forehead.
It wasn't like Zoey didn't have enough to deal with and now there was a new race of vampyres.
"Hey! Pay attention..." The horrid girl uttered, obviously feeling intimidated next to him.
I didn't know what was so amazing about him anyway. I had seen photos of him before in Tulsa's House of Night, even in my old House of Night, and then in the newspaper the day Zoey's heart broke.
I still couldn't believe he did it. I punched him again for good measure and then started back towards Zoey's room, but not before announcing loudly:
"Stay away from Zoey for good or you'll be sorry; I swear on it."
And then, changing my mind about going back to Zoey's room, I started walking towards Aphrodite's instead, texting Damien along the way.
need u 2 look after Z 4 a bit- busy
A/N: Just saying, I am in a really depressing mood because this whole massive thing happened on my sims 3 and now I've lost my entire town I was working on which had a 5-8 generation family on there and when I tried to re-create it, I started crying; I'm lame, I know, but that is the reason for the lack of happiness in my upcoming chapters. Number 2, I have just realised (well, I realised a while ago but I'm just telling you guys now) that my A/N's have been quite vague and that's because this story is actual a re-make of my original on the same URL so I keep assuming that everybody knows my notes on the chapter because they've already read it but obviously not all of you have read it.
LASTLY, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT SO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS PART: The next chapter of this story is the 4 months I missed in the original writing of it, as I've said in an earlier chapter (I think) I am going to attempt to write these 4 months but I am also putting the whole 4 months into 1 chapter! Those of my original readers who read the original would want to know this otherwise it might confuse them but this is the first time I'm writing and not just re-writing in a while because of an accident I involved in which my massive fans will know about and I'd rather not talk about it either because it just brings up bad memories so I'm sorry if this next chapter is rubbish/: much love for you!
Favourite line? /lydia xox
