Stolen

ZOEY

The world shook beneath my feet. My eyes were getting black spotches all
through them. I'm losing my spirit; A-ya is going to take over, NO! I fought
against the urge to become A-ya. Shaunee needed me. Erin needed me.
Damien and Jack needed me, Aphrodite and Darius needed me. My
Grandma needed me. And worst of all.. The world needs me.

Kalona was standing not ten feet away from me with a wicked smile
curving his perfect lips. I couldn't fight the urge anymore. Need him.. I
thought.. want him, love him. My feet wern't following my ways anymore,
they walked slowly over to Kalona, while my arms were stretched out. At
that moment earpiercing screams came from around me. I looked over my
shoulder to see Shaunee whip fire at Kalona. He burned up instantly. The
smell lunged over to me. "Wind come to me." I whispered, "Please blow
that scent away." The scent swirled around me three times then floated
away. "Thank you wind, you may depart."

Kalona layed on the burnt grass sobbing. "Why Shaunee?" Shaunee

looked over at him and responded, "I choose to follow Zoey, I choose
love."

Darius, and Damien soon snapped out of it. "Why Darius, Damien?" Kalona
added. "We both choose Zoey, our Goddess, and love."

I soon noticed Stark hasn't felt different. He held his bow and arrow in his
one hand, while his other hand was down by his side, clenched in a fist. I
felt one tear escape my eye, "Stark get a grip!" Stark flinched and looked
normal again. He must have remembered that he said that to me before.

"Zoey. I'-i'm- sorry. He hypnotized me." Stark bowed his head in shame. I
slowly walked over to him and kissed him with all of the passion I could. I
broke the kiss. "Thats it!" I said. Kalona's left arm vanished. "My love to
you, our kisses, is how to weaken, and send him away forever!"

Stark smiled and said, " Everyone kiss!" Jack and Damien kissed smack on
the mouth, while Darius and Aphrodite did the same. Shaunee and Erin
stood there speechless. Stark grabbed my shirt, pulled me to him, and
kissed me really hard. Kalona screamed and lost his other arm, and right
leg. We kept kissing for what seemed like hours. Soon his other leg, and
his hair vanished.

"Why A-ya?" Kalona whispered. He tryed moving with his corpse but failed.
 "Because I choose love." I said. Stark and I kissed again, and Kalona
vanished. So did the Raven Mockers.

We all screamed, kissed, and held eachother, "We did it!" I yelled! "We
really did it!"

Everyone started laughing. I pulled out my cell phone and sent a text to my
Grandma and Stevie Rae, they were both the same. The message read..
We defeated Kalona, Neferet has turned good, We're
coming home. Neferet will heal everyone again. We
really did it. I love you Grandma, you too Stevie Rae.

No response.

STEVIE RAE

I recieved a text from my best friend, Zoey. They did it, they really did it.
Starr walked quickly in the room with Nicole on her tail. "Weve decided to
follow Nyx. Weve decided to choose our humanity. Weve decided to
choose love. We love Nyx." Starr said. Nicole smiled.

Suddenly Starr, and Nicole screamed in agony and collapsed to the ground
of the tunnel. I screamed.

I bent down and lifted their heads up. They were both crying, and their
cresents were filled in. The beautiful scarlet red, blood red. Starr's cresent
had a beautiful vine with stars flowing all over her forehead, and the side of
her face. She also had somethng very.. unusual. Starr had a beautiful star
on her right cheek. Also, Nicole's mark was a beautiful mark. She had a
stairway line down her face, with stick people all over. She had something
unusual in her mark too. On her cheek like Starr's mark, she had a giant
stick person holding a beautiful heart. What was that about? Were they
special? We gave eachother a group hug.

They did it. I knew I could change them. Zoey did it. I knew I could could on
her.

ZOEY

We were boarding the plane in silence. I sat beside Stark; my Warrior. He

wrapped his arm around me and we snuggled. I turned my head and he was
staring at me. He slowly bent down and kissed me. We kissed with more
passion then ones heart can handle, my arms went up and around his
broad shoulders, while he slid his hand down and up under my shirt. He
cupped my breast in his bare hand. I moved over so I was sitting on him.
 He was grinding against me, and I eagerly grinded back. Suddenly
someone, Darius, cleared his throat. He chuckled and turned away still
holding my breast. Darius cleared his throat again, and stared down at my
shirt where his hand was. Stark understood and moved his hand away.
"Sorry, Stark." I added.

"Don't worry, Zoey. I have a totally awesome body. And I am totally hotttt.
But if you could stop for 2 hours, then we can have sex. Whatcha say?"
Stark asked.

"Yes." I said. Stark replied, " Yes! I will make love to you baby." I giggled,
and he gave me a quick kiss. I slid back to my seat, and rested my head on
his shoulders, while he snuggled against me. I slowly fell asleep.

Kalona was gone, he never entered my dreams.

STARK

Zoey was sleeping like a little angel. Her beautiful head snuggled his
shoulder. She was utterly beautiful. Out of nowhere a message came upon
the plane.. We have landed in Tulsa. Please exit off
plane. I smiled, and shook Zoey's shoulder, "Wake up Sleeping Beauty,
time to awaken." Her beautiful eyelids fluttered, and she looked up at me.

"We're home?" She asked.

I nodded, " We're home." We both smiled at eachother, and I kissed her on
her forehead before leaving the plane. It was noon, which in our time is
midnight. "Let's go make love baby." She nodded.

ZOEY

Stark, and I made our way quickly to my room. Once we were in there, we
dropped our bags, and shut the door, and locked it. We also closed the
curtains. He turned slowly and smiled at me. We walked slowly toward the
bathroom, hand in hand, and we both got undressed. I hopped in to the
shower, when Stark did the same. I turned on the water, and turned toward
him, he kissed me. We pressed our naked bodies so close together, that
his private injected in to mine. We grinded eachother for so long. His
private was in mine, and mine was in his. He moaned once I started to play
with the hairs on the back of his neck. He pulled his lips from mine..
nothing else.. not even his private, and said, "you feel, and taste soooo
good." And I responded, "So do you baby."

We were still kissing and grinding majorly together when we stepped out of
 the shower. We span and span while injected with eachother, lip on lip
aswell, until we both collapsed on the bed. We kept rolling over on top of
eachother, and kissed roughly and grinded. He kept his private injected
with mine. We rolled so that I was underneath him. He parted his lips from
my mouth, and moved down my face, till he licked my neck, he planted
small, little, sloppy kisses all over my neck. Then he licked down till he got
to my breast. He licked, and sucked my breast in his mouth, and moaned in
pleasure. Then he brought his lips back up to mine. We were still private
injected in private, still grinding eachother majorly. I broke the kiss,
uninjected his private from mine, and asked, "Hey baby, so were dating
right?"

"Yes baby. I love you, and love making love to you." Stark whispered.

"I want to know if you want to imprint?" So we can be un breakable. That is

an excellent thought. He nodded, so I ran and grabbed a knife and cut my
left breast. We got back together, and he injected his private in mine again,
and he moved his tounge down, licking everything on the way of course,
and he started sucking. I moaned in pleasure.. it felt soooo good.
Eventually he stopped sucking and licked the cut. "Your turn baby." Stark
whispered. He grabbed the razor sharp knife, and slashed his chest. We got
back together, reinjected our privates, kissed for a minute, grinded ten
times harder, and pressed our privates sooo close together, with so much
force, then I licked him all the way down to the cut. I pressed my lips
against it, and started sucking. It filled me with a heated sensation all the
way down to my toes. When, I stopped, I licked the cut, and it started to
close. "We're imprinted!" I said.

"Yes we are, yes we are." Stark said. And we spent the rest of the night
together making love.

Aphrodite

Aphrodite walked in on us, holding the spare key I usually hid. Stark was
naked on top of me. It was soooo embarassing.

"I'm sorry to interupt your little.. yuck fest, but sex will have to wait." I
rolled my eyes. " Your the High Priestess, Z; you gotta fulfill your
responsibilities." She chuckled, and stood up, along with Stark. We both
got changed, and left the room.

We entered the Full Moon Ritual. Stark and I were hand in hand, while I
went to the washroom to change into a beautiful black dress. Once I
stepped out, we walked to the circle. Everyone was holding their candles.
Except earth. She will be here soon. Suddenly, Stevie Rae skipped in, along
with Starr, Nicole, Venus, Dallas, Drew, and Kramisha. Wow! Starr, and
 Nicole changed! Stevie Rae gethered her place in the circle, and held up
her candle.

"Merry meet everyone!" I yelled. They all responded, "Merry meet!"

I slowly walked over to where Damien was standing and grabbed my

lighter, "wind surrounds us everywhere, I call to you wind and ask that you
help us blow away our memories of Kalona!" I brought the lighter to the
candle, and wind started flowing everywhere. Damien chuckled. I moved
slowly over to wear Shaunee stood.

"Fire supports us by keeping us warm, I call to you fire, and ask that you
burn away any memories of Kalona." I almost had the lighter to the candle,
but as usual, it lit before it got there. Shaunee giggled. I slowly walked over
to wear Erin was standing and said, " Without water, we would all die, water
is everywhere, I call to you water and ask that you wash away any
memories of Kalona." I touched the lighter to the candle, and I felt water up
to my knees, like I was standing in beach water. Erin grinned. I slowly made
my way over to Stevie Rae.

"Earth supports us and surrounds us, I call you you earth, and ask that
your nurishing strength destroy any memories of Kalona." I lit her candle,
and I suddenly heard birds chirping like crazy, and smelled hay everywhere
around me. I made my way to the center of the circle.

"Everyone has one, Spirit I call to you and ask that you destroy everyones
memories about Kalona!" I touched the lighter to the candle, and everyone
suddenly forgot about Kalona. I knew that because I said, hey guys,
KALONA! And they had no idea who Kalona was. Everything has been
fixed.

"Everyone I pass this blood around for you to drink. it will regain our
strengths." I took a sip from the goblet, and passed it around the circle.
Once everyone had a drink, I tilted the goblet back, and drank every last
drop of blood leftover.

"Rejoice fledgings! Our ritual is now over, Merry Meet, and Merry Part, and
Merry Meet Again!" I sang.

Everyone responded, "Merry Meet, and Merry Part, and Merry Meet Again!"

And that moment everything turned negative.

ZOEY

Shaunee, Erin, Damien, and Jack screamed and fell over. There was no
 blood. Wait. Jack was coughing up blood. Crap! "Get help, fast!" I
screamed. I went over to Jack first, "Get me more towels!" I screamed
orders everywhere. Jack was coughing up blood everywhere. Then his
eyes rolled to the back of his head, and he went limp. Blood trinkled
through his eyes, nose, ears, and his mouth. I hadn't realized I was crying
until someone handed me a tissue. Shaunee, and Erin suddenly rose their
heads. Their marks had been filled in and expanded. Erin's mark was
beautiful. It had a beautiful lasy pattern of water surrounding her face,
eyes, and cheeks. Shaunee had a beautiful lasy pattern in the same spots
as Erin. It was not water, though, it was fire. Beautiful.

Damien rose his head last. His cresent has been filled in and expanded.
Two roses were beside the cresent, and stickmen framed everywhere else
on his face. It was gorgeous.

The moment he caught sight of Jack he screamed, so loud that everyone

had to plug their ears. He stood up, and ran over to Jack, and sobbed
loudly. Stark came up then, and put a hand on Damien's shoulder.
"Remember? He'll be back." Stark smiled reasurringly. Damien kept crying,
but it stopped a little.

DAMIEN

Why does everything happen to me? My beautiful boyfriend Jack, died. I

sobbed louder. And I was aware of multiple people watching me. Zoey
came up to me and put her hand on my shoulder. She whispered
something to Spirit. Something like.. "Spirit come to me. Go to Damien to
make the passing of Jack bearable until Jack awakens." And she purshed
her lips, and blew in my direction. My spirit felt like it lifted, and I stopped
crying. I kept repeating things over in my head.. Jack will be back, I will see
him soon. I love you Jack. And everything went black.

ZOEY

"Fledgings rejoice! Shaunee, Erin, and Damien have completed the change!
Fledgings pray to the Goddess for Jack; he will be back! Now I have to
close the circle so guys please get to your places in the circle." They took
their places back in the circle.

"Thank you wind, you may depart." Wind left me. And the candle blew out.

"Thank you fire, you may depart." Fire left me. And the candle blew out.

"Thank you water, you may depart." Water left me. And the candle blew out.
"Thank you earth, you may depart." Earth left me. And the candle blew out.

"Thank you spirit. You may depart." Spirit left me. And the candle blew out.

Once I went around to all of the candles, we all gathered to leave. My

friends and I, hand in hand, left the room, together, always.

ERIK NIGHT

All I wanted to do was win Zoey back.

But that stupid Stark guy was in the way. So what if he was her 'Warrior'
give me a break! Deep down inside my heart longs for Zoey.

ZOEY

I was in love. More than I could ever imagine.

Stark. My soul mate.

JACK

Awakening was.. difficult. Everything was so.. black. Out of nowhere I was
at a beautiful place, where a beautiful women sits. When I realized who it
was, my heart rejoiced.

"Nyx!" I blurted. "Am I dead? For good I mean.."

"No my son you will awaken in a few minutes. Rememer what I told Zoey,
heres two tips of advice.. Darkness does not always equate to evil, just as
light does not always bring good. And... The elements can restore as well
as destroy. My son. Follow me, and love me when you awaken. Think of
only me, ignore your thirst. And you will change. Now rejoice! Your friends
are waiting for you."

Slowly Nyx walked over to me, and kissed my forehead where my mark lay,
I smiled at the same time she smiled at me, and everything went black
again.

*******
I opened my eyes and gazed above me in wonder.

ZOEY
Jack's eyelids fluttered. Once he opened his eyes; I was suddenly happy.
"Jack!" I sang.

"Blood.. need blood.. but I am ignoring it and thinking about Nyx. I love
Nyx." Jack whispered. When he stood up he screamed and fell to the floor
with a moan, he was holding his mark, and kayed his head in his knees.

When, he looked up, I stopped crying. His mark had been filled in and
expanded. It was of course bright scarlet red. His mark had cool cymbols
around his face. And on his cheek was a computer mark. It was unuaual. It
meant he had an affinity for technology! Wait.

Starr, and Nicole had symbols on their cheeks too, Starr's was a star. And
Nicole's was a stick person holding a heart. This could only mean..

Starr could control stars, and Nicole could make drawlings come to life.
How amazing!

Jack's mouth watered as he started toward me.

STARK

I ran.

Zoey needed me, I could feel it. I of course had blood with me for Jack.
What if he was attacking Zoey. This thought only had me running faster.
Once I ran in the room, Jack lunged himself at Zoey. I of course threw
myself between them, and Jack bit my throat. He drank, and drank. I threw
him off of me and gavehim blood baggies. He snarled at me, and his eyes
turned a bright red. He looked like a predator. He drank furiously through
the blood baggies. Once, he was all done he added, "Lets go, oh and sorry
about that Zoey. You too Stark." He added once he caught me staring at
him. " I want to see Damien, send him a message through wind."

Damien suddenly ran in to the room, and stared at Jack.

DAMIEN

Jack looked at me with his amazing eyes. Wait! His mark has already been
filled in?! How the heck did that happen?!

He started toward me and gave me a giant hug. All of a sudden he bit the
crap out of my throat. I screamed, and it turned in to moans of pleasure. It
felt great. Stark came up from behind and ripped Jack off of me. Jack
snarled at him.
He apoligized, and we left the room hand in hand, with Zoey and Stark on
our heels doing the same.

APHRODITE

I actually felt bad for Jack. Will he come back? Or will he stay.. dead? Poor
Damien. Yes, their gay. But that doesn't matter; they we're in love. Like me
and Darius. I loved him with all of my heart. He was of course my Warrior.

Darius walked in the room and kissed Aphrodite so hard that they fell on
the bed. They ripped eachothers shirts off, and made out for hours, rolling
on and off of eachother.

But somewhere deep down inside; she knew surprises we're yet to come.

ZOEY

We all gathered in the dining hall.

The red fledgings emerged last.
