Stevie Rea POV
The first thing I felt was cold drops of water leaking down my face. Then the next was the wet grass beneath me. Tormenting pain
ached in my left arm. My eyes snapped open and I gripped my shoulder, smothering the pain. "Not broken, I just slept funny". I thought out loud.
I sighed as remembered were I had fallen asleep. "In my room" ?. I reached down and ran the drenched grass through my fingers.
I turned my head slowly hoping no one had seen that i'd fell asleep out the palace grounds. A shard of sunlight hit my face as stared directly at the sun!.
"no!" I screamed
I scampered back so fast that I slammed myself into what felt like a rough concrete wall. I peered up and found my self starring into lush emerald green leaves. I looked up, following the trunk of one of the giant trees. It branched out above me, towering over me. As I watched leaves swayed in the wind i felt a sense of comfort. Sure I was alone but I felt the warmest feeling, I felt like singing?.
I diverted my gaze from the tree to left. The same tree fledged around a meadow. The grass smelt sweet, and looked freshly cut. The meadow was small. But perfectly round and filled with wild flowers - violet, yellow and soft white. Somewhere nearby, I could hear the bubbling sound of fresh water tumbling down rocks, a stream. The sun was sliding it's way through thick umbrella like-leaves directly above me, it filled the circle with a haze of buttery sunshine. I felt myself being lifted to my feet. I walked slowly, awestruck, through the soft grass, swaying flowers, and warm, gilded air. The warmth of the sun brushed against my shoulders like a cotton blanket, I sighed contently. Stretching my arms away from my body I looked at the softness of my warm skin. Everything was in a whole new prospective, the way the moonlight glowed on my skin, was so distant to the way I felt towards rays of comfort I felt from the sunshine.
It felt good to be touched by the light again. I surrendered to it, and sank to the ground.
Then I realized something, where was Rephaim? what happen last night?.How the hell did I get here? and where was here?. Panic struck me like a bolt of lightning. I launched to my feet, spinning in all different directions, searching desperately for the door back to the reality. I felt my heart throbbing my chest.
Something was coming, and it didn't feel good. Suddenly the wind went cold, and the Strong Oaks began to sway violently in the gushing wind. The world fell dark. I grasped my hands over my shouldered rubbing them up and down. My checks froze in second, a cold warps of wind ran up my spine. I arched up and shivered. The stench of death clung to the air around me, poisoning my lungs with the intoxicating odour. The air began to beat slowly, like a heart. It made visible transparent ripples with every beat. The stench grew stronger, It burned the inside of my nostrils. I felt warm liquid flow from my nostrils and on to my naked arms. drip drop drip drop My blood.
From the side of the meadow clouds of mist-like darkness poured out of the jungle of trees. Into the meadow it came. I screamed in fear, the pulsing air began to beat faster. The sound of a thousand beating hearts flooded deep within my ears. I grasped my hands over them shielding them from the horrid cold sound.
Then out from the mist It came it slivered above the earth, unnaturally. A 12 foot black snake. Wishing back the moment I did it, my scream provoked it. The monster turn course, making its way towards, hissing wildly. I whimpered, as hot tears tumbled from my eyes.
" why snakes" I choaked out.
I fell back onto the grass the snake only a few feet away from me, scrutinizing me with eyes that burned with fire. Thin treads of darkness slivered from underneath the creature, lashing out at grass tearing at it. They were almost clones of the creature, thousands of them. All heading towards me. My breath caught, my tongue withered up dried out, and collapsed in my mouth turning into a useless muscle. Songs of desperate cries haunted the air around it. I grasped my teeth together so tight that it hurt.
The snake was an inch away from my face, glarring into my eyes. I muffled my cries.
"please don't killll me" I begged.
It watched me silently, its tongue slashed at me face, I cried out in agony and fell to the floor.
"Look at me" It's voice was rough, strong, and hushed.
I stared up at the monster.
"I know you, I knew you once when you left the living, and was born again. But you betrayed me. Turned to my brother. And shattered most of my power. I give you a choice Stevie rea. Return to me. Return to me and Ill give you power, have my blessing again. Return to the side of your Queen. Do her biding, make me proud "
As he spoke the last words a warmth hot air spiraled towards the giant snake, like tornado. It lifted it back into the air with a cry of terror, then exploded into a shower of sparks.
A growl rumbled from behind me, Then a howl. The serpent was gone and I was alone.
Zoey's POV
Everything slowly came into focus, My room I was back in my double bed. I blew my hair out of my face. I raised my hand to cover my tattoo .Wow it hurt.
"It will for a little while" Kalonas voice glided up my skin.
I lifted my head up off my pillow and and starred directly at him. The corners of his soft lips tilted up into a worried smile. He had on a dark button down shirt, and black jeans. I narrowed my eyes at his hands. He was holding something
He glided towards me. Avoiding my eyes he sat on the bed. "I was worried you would never wake"
he kissed my forehead, his cold heat slivered down my body.
"you were worried about me" I croaked "Im Immortal Kalona" I laughed.
He said nothing, I look up at him expectantly. Waiting for his answer. He unfastened the lid from a bottle in his hand and poured the blood, into the Crystal cups on to think of it when was the last time I drank blood? My throat was burning at the thought. He moved to my side and put the cup in my hand, in silence I watched his face, something about him had changed. He tighted the bottle and our eyes met, He smiled a weak smile then stroked my arm and helped me to sit up.
Kalona picked up the bottle again and poured it into another cup, I hadn't released he was holding.
"a-di-ta-s-di" He said the Cherokee word for drink then lifted my cup to my mouth. I gulped it down like I was drinking for my life. It was far from satisfying. It was almost disappointing. To my surprise Kalona then drank the blood from his cup.
"Kalona you drink blood?"
"It's a new habit I picked up" he answered sadly. My Mark started to burn again and I lifted my hand,to it. I felt so hot under my hands. I felt his hand push mine away and his took its place against my forehead, It was cool and just right.
"Why does it hurt so much" I questioned myself.
"Your a fully fledged vampire" He held a mirror to my face. My tattoos were just the same but deep purple.
"u-wo-du-hi A-ya you really are beautiful" he kissed my forehead
I felt tears trickle down my cheeks. Kalona brushed his hand over my tears, and I saw for the first time. My tattoos against his golden skin. I starred up him in shock, and pulled his selves up, I traced the purple tattoos up his arm.
"Kalona" I whispered.
"Zoey" he replied he closed he eyes. and breathed out my name.
What the hell happened ? I thought
"I changed with you" he breathed against my neck, "The goddess truly works in mysterious ways".
Stevie rea
I felt my body tremble in disbelief, few moments ago I was starting at the ultimate source of darkness. The very begin that twisted evil into the world.
And I survived. Everything was normal again. As If nothing had ever change.
My stomach fell my insides, went cold. I collapsed to the ground shaking in fear. The treat was gone but I felt numb.
"you fear something" a voice whispered in my ear.
I squeaked and lunched to my feet.
"Damn it Rephaim why? don't sneak up on me like that" I said in a raspy voice . My heart raced in my cold chest.
"Im sorry love I thought you knew I was there" His voice was soothing and sexy.
I avoided eye contact I knew the look on my face would portray me as a crazy person. I turned and stared at the distant trees.
"where did you go?" I asked
" hunting" he answered nonchalantly.
"you hunt?" I asked surprised.
A sigh escaped from him. moments later he had his warm arms wrapped around my small waist. He sighed once more and gently caressed my shoulder with
sweet kisses. He ran his smooth hands up and down my arms.
"There is so much I have to tell you " He whispered along the arch of my neck, where did he learn to be so seductive.
I groaned and whimpered, as he traced the tattoos on my neck.
The question nor ed at my chest.I couldn't take it anymore I just had to ask. "did you not see that" I blurted out. I spun round to watch him. his almost amber eyes locked in mine in an instant.
"you finally decide to look at me" he whispered.
Sweet Nyx he was beautiful. His skin tanned ,almost to a perfect to look at. His hair a beautiful contrast to his skin . It was as dark as night.
His nose was absolutely straight no lump. and his perfect pink lips tilted up over pearly white teeth. He grinned down at me, then I surprised myself by tracing my finger over his lips then down his neck and to his muscular chest. He stood over me peering down at me, with a mischievous smile plastered on his perfect face. As his face drew closer to mine, the question came to me again.
"did you not see that giant snake" I almost shouted. His face fell as he watched me worriedly.
"What snake?"
" That snake it was black and huge, it spoke to me, It knew my name" I pleaded him to understand. He stroked the side of my face, his eyes sparkling in the sunlight.
He left his hand there for a minute looking at my mark. I felt tears whelm up in my eyes, I placed my hand over his. After a few more moments he closed his eyes and spoke.
"what happened when the snake appeared to you" worry was smeared all over his rich voice "so you believe me yo-"
"Just tell me" he spoke hard, my face snapped up to watch him. I explain every thing to him. Fear and shock in laced his expression.
he spoke more to himself then to me. " so it begins"
