I tried to get to the crowded window pushing past seeing the nonsense that was going on, and already I thought what a disaster it was going to be. I had no idea how many red fledgings had lived down at the tunnels with Stevie Rae, but never in the slightest did I think it would of been more than 20 people, as if it was some kind of marching band they all lined up in four rows coming towards the school and surprise surprise Stevie Rae was ahead of them all as if she was the pack leader.

I was speechless at what I was seeing, and I didn't have to use my brain to had figured out who was behind all of this.

"What are we going to do?" I asked quietly to myself, but as if everyone had heard, they turned to face me as if I had all the answers.

"Um..." was all I could say, racking my brain for ideas "Can we some how seal the school?"

They all gave me cocky looks "No" Damien said.

"I think Neferet is doing this" I blurted out.

They all looked at me knowing this was a possibility.

"But-" Shaunee started to say.

"how?" Erin finished off.

I took a deep breath in and began explain as much as I could in a very short time, it helped that the guys didn't ask any questions, I just hoped this meant that they understood, anything was likely to happen here.

"Wow, how could I have forgotten Shekinah's death like that?" they were all pretty stunned at what I had told them.

"Guys, we literally don't have any time, Nyx knows what they are after!?" Damien said.

I think I had a feeling.

I thought, it didn't matter what they were after, I had to save my best friend "It doesn't matter! We've got to save Stevie Rae and the others"

They confirmed "Lets do this" whatever 'this' was...

We've all had experiences with danger when it came to dealing with it, we were just kids but it seemed like we had to do most of the work, life was never simple. It was at times like these where I wish I was normal again, but living in that holy house with my mother and that step-loser made me realise how lucky I was to have had a chance to escape and as for the dangers in the school, there was an up side to it, it has made me stronger.

The only weapon I would ever need was in me, the elements.

"Okay so what are we going to do exactly?"

"Well if we want to save Stevie Rae and the others then we have got to know what is wrong with them and who- I mean how its working" Damien told "Z, you have got to try and use all your elements for this first"

Great. Lucky me(!)

I nodded triumphantly we were just outside the school doors where as the zombies as I'd like to call them now were outside the school gates hopefully not causing a riot with the outside public.

I remembered one of the rules of being a red fledgling, it was that they couldn't enter a building without some sort of permission from the owner, I don't know if it still applied here even if they had been to this school, the only person entering by climbing the gates was Stevie Rae with her blond bouncing hair, I was glad it was her.

As I took my first few steps outside the door, the others followed clinging onto me behind, it was a cold winter day, but that was not something that bothered me now, from a distance I could see Stevie Rae approaching, her expressionless face was nothing compared to her glowing blood red eyes as if she was hungry.

"Be careful guys" I could feel Jack trembling on me, he didn't like this anymore than I did.

My thoughts were pressing on how I would communicate with the elements to help Stevie Rae but I wasn't sure how I would word it out.

Uh, Elements I need all your help to save my friend, I said to myself, I believe something is poised in her and that is why she is acting this way, please help me to help her find a way out. I looked at her straight in the eyes, stood still trying to concentrate. My cell phone was vibrating again in my pocket, but now was not the appropriate time to answer it.

"Uh, Z-zoey your phone's vibrating" Erin whispered to me clearly hearing it.

"I'm busy" I said calmly still looking at Stevie Rae.

Without my permission Shaunee dug inside my back pocket and took out my phone, I wasn't to pleased about this but I guess it really didn't matter anymore, it was probably Kayla calling me again.

"Red eyes?" Shaunee said.

"What is it?" Erin asked.

I couldn't concentrate much with the babbling on behind me, but I could see I was making progress, Stevie Rae's stiff motion was letting loose, her eyes weren't as bright as before, a thought that had just rushed into my head was who was going to save the rest of them?

"No" Stevie Rae shouted, her voice was strange, devilish "I must stay strong, I can fight this"

"No you can't. Stevie Rae Johnson, you are stronger than this" I was shocked to see Damien saying this but it helped me concentrate even more, it was as if he knew someone else was inside of Stevie Rae, it was at times like this when you were thankful for having a smart friend!
Shaunee and Erin were in their own world talking about my text message. Stevie Rae was starting to loose all her strength, she put her arms around her stomach her eyes still glowing but decreasing by time, I could smell and feel all the elements around me, I wasn't certain at what I was doing but I was hearing voices in my head to keep on doing it.

"Hey look" Jack had grown in confidence and decided to come out behind me pointing at the school gates "they are backing off!"

I thought if I could see what Jack was on about it would make sense, but I didn't want to lose my vision of Stevie Rae I could see from behind her that the zombie's were strangely enough walking away, now that was weird.

Stevie Rae was making horrible grunting sounds in defeat, within the next few minutes her eyes finally began to return to her normal colour, loosing its glow. Slowly, she closed her eyes and collapsed to the ground. I didn't stop looking at her, did I kill her? The wind was picking up and my heart started racing, I couldn't believe at what I had just done but I felt as if all my strength was taken away, I put my hands on my legs breathing in an out slowly, from either side Shaunee and Erin took hold of me, moving me back to the school building "You okay?" They asked.

"Stevie Rae oh my gosh Stevie Rae" someone from afar shouted out, everyone turned which made me turn around too.

Damien and Jack were standing by Stevie Rae helping her when Stark ran over to them getting angry at the boys not even noticing Erin, Shaunee and me.

"What the hell did you do to her?" he shouted so loud it echoed from afar.

The guys were terrified, with the glowing red eyes he was really angry "What the hell did you do to her?" he repeated.

"Nn-nothing I swear on Nyx's life, nothing!" Jack pleaded, scared for his life.

"Get. Back. Now" he threatened his hands balled into fists.

"Stark" I tried to call out but I didn't have any breath or strength in me.

Damien and Jack obediently walked back, coming towards me, I could see that Stark honestly cared for Stevie Rae, maybe even more than I did, the look in his eyes said everything, he lead down beside her for a few seconds and then picked her up in his arms, he ran off quickly out of the school grounds.

By now we were all in my room, everyone was making a huge fuss over me while worrying about Stevie Rae, speaking of which, I found Starks concerned attitude very odd, I know they had grown fond of each other since they had spent so much time together but the way Stark acted made it seem like something more, something more than just... friends.

"Uh could I have my phone back now, Shaunee?" I said with my mind going through the past few minutes that happened on the school grounds, the zombies, Stevie Rae's glowing red eyes and Stark.

"Oh yeah! Sorry about that!" she pulled out my phone from her jacket and I scrolled for my message.

Red eyes. The girl had red eyes.

The message was from Heath. I'm guessing he managed to get his phone back without getting into trouble.

"So who's this girl with the red eyes?" Erin asked.

"She movin' in on your human?" Shaunee said.

I chuckled "No she's not (anymore!) I don't know who this girl with the red-" I froze, I did know who she was. Most definitely I did.

Sorry to the people who have waited patiently for the chapter and I hope you like it. Sorry for any mistakes!

PLEASE REVEIW! (:
