Here's the next chapter!!! I had a nice weekend and came back from the woods covered in bug bites and ready to write. By the way, any one watch The Vampire Diaires last thursday night?? If so, wasnt it amazing? Also, the new moon trailer at the VMAs!! Even more amazing. If you havent seen the trailer go on youtube and look it up now! Raise your hand if you think what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift was just not right in any form or fashion.

Disclaimer- I do not own Twilight or House of Night. I'd have more friends if I did. lol


(2 days later) BPOV

I woke up in morning tired. I hadn't been sleep very good since I made the silent promise to myself about The Cullens and the rest of Forks. I keep having the same nightmares. They start out like my normal abandonment dreams but as I'm running and screaming I see Nxy. I start to feel better, then Neferet appears out of nowhere, and Nxy seems to get scared and run off. Then a velvet voice from behind me calls my name and Edward is they're smiling his crooked smile. Neferet appears behind him and throws her hands out to him and he burst into flames as I scream again. But instead of falling to ashes the fire dies away and it's not Edward anymore. It's Stark. I always wake up after that.

Zoey's voice brought me back from my thoughts as we walked to class. "Bella!"

"Yeah, oh, sorry. Did I zone out?" I said.

"Yeah. But looks who's coming this way?" she said pointing in front of us. Stark was walk toward us. Ever since I told Zoey and everyone about me talking to Stark. Now every time we saw him they'd tease me.

"Hey Bella." he said with a sexy smile, stopping.

"Hey Stark." I said. Zoey cleared her throat and elbowed me in the ribs. "Ow. Um, Stark, Zoey. Zoey, Stark."

"So, this is the high priestess in training." he said.

"Yup!" Zoey said. "Nice to meet you."

"You too." he held out his hand. Zoey took it and Stark said, "I got to get to class but, Zoey could I talk to Bella for
a second?"

"Sure. I'll see you after class, Bells." Zoey turned and walk to class.

"What's up?" I asked.

"How about I walk you to class? I wouldn't want you to be late," he said.

I blushed and mumbled a yes. We started walking and then he said, "I was wondering...since you were the first person I met here...And your pretty much the only friend I have here.... maybe we should, you know.... hang out?" he stopped- to gauge my reaction I guess. "As friends of coarse."

I thought about it for a second. I wanted to. I knew I wanted to. I decided that I would. "Sure. Why not?" I said.

"Alright, cool. So, I'll see you later." He said. I hadn't even noticed that I was at my class. He waved, turned and walked off. I sighed and opened the door to my class. I wasn't late. The bell rang as soon as I sat down. I thought about what just happened. I was finally moving on. I smiled to my self. Take that Edward Cullen. The thought of his name barely even hurt because I was thinking of Stark.

(This is happening just before Stark talks to Bella.) Alice POV

Edward and I sat in the car in silence. We took his Volvo to drive to Tulsa. We had just left home. We wrote a note to the family that we would be back soon, and just left. We both knew how upset Esme would be for our sudden disappearance, but she'd be okay. I didn't even want to think about how worried Jasper would be. I had only left half an hour ago and I already missed him. Edward and I knew how important it was to get to this House of Night. I glanced over at him. He was sitting in the drivers seat, his knuckles gripping the wheel so tight while he drove that they were whiter then his already pale skin. Relax! I thought to him. Everything will be okay.

"How do you know?" he growled, looking over at me. I ignored him, pulled my legs up on the seat, wrapped my arms around them and closed my eyes, looking for the future. Edward obviously got the message that I needed to concentrate and quite looking at me. It's harder to concentrate knowing you're in my head. I thought, I knew if he saw a vision when I got it and he didn't like it he'd freak. If I kept him out, then I could protect him from what he didn't want to see.

I was suddenly pulled into a blurry, unclear vision. It was Bella walking down the hallway with a dark haired girl. The girl pointed in front of them to a guy with dark hair walking toward them. Bella introduced the two to each other as Zoey and Stark. The Stark guy said something about a priestess. Then it was just Bella and Stark. It was hard to make out their words, but I got the gist of it. Stark asked Bella out and she said yes. The vision ended, and I knew Edward would want to know, but I couldn't let him, so I started to think about Jasper, how good he looks in the outfits I pick out for him, how it feels when he holds me. I knew Edward would stay clear of that. He would be crushed if he knew that she had moved on. He'd say he was happy, that's what he wanted her to do, but on the inside he was a jealous mess. I kept my thoughts on Jasper as we sped toward Tulsa.

BPOV (after class)

I walked out of class thinking of Stark. I was supposed to meet Zoey and the gang by the lunchroom, but instead I took a scenic route to think. I wasn't really thinking of anything in particular. Just letting my mind wonder. I walked by a tree when I heard a weird noise from it. I stopped and looked up into it. It made the noise again, when suddenly a white fuzz ball launched out of it. It was a cat. It was snow white and had the bluest eyes, and a little pink nose. She 'meowed' and rubbed her self against me.

"Aw, Your cute." I said bending down to pet her. She purred at me. I stood up and said, "Well, see ya later, kitty." And began to walk away. I heard tiny footsteps behind me. I turned and saw that the cat was following me. "Go on now. Go find your human." I said waving her away. She just took another step and meowed. I turned around and started to walk away again. I heard the same footsteps. I turned around to the cat, frustrated. "Listen, cat. I don't own you. Or as Zoey put it, you don't own me. Now go on." I walked again. She followed me. I gave up and figured that she'd stop eventually.

I walked into the lunchroom, got my food and sat down with my friends, with that stupid cat still following me. Stark was sitting with us today and that made me smile. I looked down and saw a huge yellow lab at Stark's feet, with her massive head in his lap. I sat down and said my hellos; I was just about to ask about to ask about the dog when Stark beat me to it.

"Bella, this is Duchess." He smiled like a proud father. Duchess came over to me and sniffed my pants leg. She looked up at me and barked. "Shush, girl!" Stark said to her, she obeyed her master and walked back over to him.

"Bella, who's your friend?" Damien said pointing to the white fur ball at my feet. "Oh, just some stupid cat that wont leave me alone." I said.

"I think there's a reason she won't leave you alone," Shawnee said. "I believe that this cat has chosen Bella. Don't you think so Twin?" Erin finished her sentence, "I agree, Twin."

I've never had a pet before. I usually killed my goldfish. I looked down at the fur ball snoring by my feet.

"Cool. I've never had a pet before." I said. "Well, now you have one." Damien said with a smile.

"Guys! Focus!" Zoey said. "The Full Moon Ritual is tonight. We have work to do."

"Bella's hasn't been to one yet." Erik said.

"Then I guess this will be my first." I said.
