zoey POV
I woke up in a different place!. "what the heck", "Heath where are you?" No answer. ok this place was like a palace it had high ceilings and golden pillars around the whole room, the walls were laced with golden frames. the floors where a white marble; I was sitting on a huge king size bed, the colour was a rich gold and creamy white pillows.
The whole room seamed like a mansion it had two big windows the same size as the white door that mirrored the bed. A soft creamy woolly looking carpet, and two white couches, under the big windows.
" wow this must be heaven, what the heck am I doing here"?. I got of the bed walked over to where the windows were, It was sunny but it still didn't hurt my Vamp eyes what is up with that? . I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin it felt good to be greated by it again. I wasn't tall enough to look out of the window so I stood there looking like a complete moron smiling at the beautiful twlilght sky.
"Why are you still here?, Zoey pull yourself together and go and find Heath!" my mental mind snapped at me. I put my self on high alert and ran for the door. "Heath?" "he can not hear you zoey, you are all alone" .a strange child like voice laughed at me. I ignored it, and continued my search for Heath.
The outside hallway was the same as the bedroom but only a hallway. The same high windows "goddess this place was built for giants". Instead of running I walked hesitantly through the hall, my heart was racing through my ears. I couldn't take it any longer I ran like hell down the hallway till I saw a smaller passage way one at the right of me, the sharp turn tookme of balance I stumbled into a dark hallway and straight into a wall.
It court me by my arms The wall shook with laughter. " I see you have spent some much time in the comfort of darkness you fear the light little Zoey". Loren?, " what the heck are you doing here ? you`re dead."I tried say as coldly as possible, I avoided looking into his eyes because it only made me mad for he had done to me, and sad for had happened to him . " Yes I am dead, this is where the dead come, well where her children come Zoey". I knew exactly who he was talking about. I could hear the sadness in his voice.
"Im sorry for the trouble I caused you, Zoey could you find it you to forgive me" this time I looked at him only to see remorse in his beautiful dark eyes. I quickly looked away, to hide the tear that was forming in my eyes.
I looked at him again then at the firm grip his hands had onmy arms, he looked confused then he followed my gaze, realizing that his hold was bothering me, and let go. I lifted my gaze back up to meet him again.
" I don't want your apology Loren, I just want to know why you would do that to me? I didn't caused you pain so why?". He stared at me like the way Kalona looks at me.
I had to look away , the image of him and Neferet together started running through my head." I loved her Zoey",he said breaking throught my thought bubble." I thought she felt the same way, she wanted you isolated from your friends, so that she could get to you, she used me to do it." his voice when into a whisper, I hared the sadness in it, then felt his tears on my head. Loren Blake was crying. Slowly I lifted my head to confirm what I had just felt was true, and it was. He looked completely heartbroken, lost.
"I can't say I truely feel sorry for Loren". He turned his head in shame, but I continued " all I can say is I know what it feels like to be used, hurt, and heartbroken. All I can say is what goes up must come down, and I have no sympathy for you". He stood there silently crying.
"why did you do it ?, surely the thought must of came across you that there was no good in this plan, that a high priestess should be caring towards each and every one of her students, and not wish them any physical, or mental harm". He wiped his face and continued his pathetic little in sorry speech.
" I was all part of her plan, she never wanted me, she wanted him so she disposed of me before I go a chance to converse with you about what was happening". " Neferet did this to you" wow i knew Neferet was evil but wow,", my mention of her name caused him to cringe.
I was lost for words so I just listen to his slow breathing. finally after what felt like hours some one spoke " Zoey why are you here? not you to!". I felt her small arms wrap around me, I recognized her voice to well "Im not dead I don't think so any way", I turned to look at my old drama teacher.
her beautiful smile faded she look up to Loren with confusion in her eyes, they just stared at each other with concern on their faces."she doesn't know weather she is alive or not " she whispered to Loren.
" Nyx said we could not visit the palace unprotected, Loren we must go, Zoey you must go as well but you cannot depart with us".
" what, wait why cant we be unprotected? and who would protect us anyway?". What the heck are you talking about. They shared a look with each other their faces emotionless, this time Loren spoke " Zoey all of this time you did not know where you were", he said looking truly amazed
"you must not have past on then because as soon as you come to the Other world you immediately know where you are, a soul should never be separated from its host, you must quickly find away to rejoin your body, or you will remain trapped here".
"You didn't answer my first question, why cant we be unprotected". Their weary state was staring to annoy me. "Zoey evil exists everywhere, dangerous creatures appear in the most unlikely places, even though we are in the goddess realm. Its what keeps are worlds balanced. Nyx said that we needed one of the warrior's to protect us, now Zoey you must leave, evil can come in any form", "can that be like a whisper?"
"yes Zoey, I'm sorry but we must go, bless be Zoey Redbird" . Then they disappeared leaving me alone in the dark hall way.
Stevie Rae P.O.V
" That can't be true, tell me your lying" I said through my tears " what troubles you pries-" rephaim said I cut him of "shhhhhh, im on my cell phone" he nodded and flew back up to the broken window in the old house.
" OK, but I have stuff to do before I can come Y'all don't what up for me you hear,". " ok just hurry the hell up" Aphrodite screamed down the phone. " OK, OK it will take me a couple of hours to finish up, I'll see y'all later" I shut the phone took a quick breath.
damn it Zoey, first he gets your chest riped up and almost killed, now your a empty shell, heading for death, you might as well become a lesbian if boys cause you this much trouble. I kicked the table legs right of the table. And sat down on the floor and cried.
"Stevie rea, what troubles you" he was right behind me his voice soft and comforting. His warm arms rested on my lower back " you can not lie to me and tell you are perfectly fine because you are not, I sense through our imprint that you are stressed, fearful and sad" .
" she might die Rephiam, Zoey is going to die , and we don't now how to save her, she is in the Other world" I looked at him he face blank "Rephiam?,what is it"
he shook his head as if to clear a vision he had just seen. Then looked at me. I searched his eyes to find out what had gotten into him.
"Stevie rea we must go back to the tunnels and to the red fledglings I think I know whatmust be done, we must hurry we have little time left, before Zoey will remain trapped in the world in which her soul wonders in.
Within a hour we reached tunnels " how many times have I told Y'all not bring live humans in here and kill them, use the blood banks!!" I shouted down the hall's. " you don't tell us wwwwhat to dooo sssstevie rea" they hissed I looked at Rehaim " they sound like my brothers" I couldn't help giggling.
He looked truly hurt, then his eyes showed me concern and he finished "when they were about do some serious harm" that stopped me, I shivered, he mirrored my action. At the same time we turned our heads to face the twenty pairs of blood red eyes staring at us from the entrance of the tunnels.
"you brought use a sour snack to chew on Stevie rea" they laughed at the joke . "why don't Y'all listen to me when I say use the blood banks?"
"we like our blood fresh"they said in a matter-of-fact tone ."I know but you have to use the banks the humans will track us down if you leave your
preys scents behind" I said tying to reason with them. " more for use to eat" they in perfect harmony, a shiver passed through me " we like the kill, its the best part of our day"
they were truly evil. Rephaim leaned close to my ear and whispered " the leader, I sense the Queen in her, I've seen her while I was last here, the Queen has the power to send ones soul to the Other world, makes sense since they kill and feed of their victims deaths. she is the key to Zoey's awakening. we must entrap her quickly and take her to where the priestess body sleeps, time is running out".
OMG this getting good what do you think. I can honestly say I am on a role. =)
