A/N: GAH! I AM SO SORRY I HAVEN'T UPDATED! My internet is a retard. Lol!
Happy Father's day!
I had MAJOR writers block for this story…I can't think of how I want it to go, so I decided, just go straight to the stables because that is my favorite part. Lol.
THIS IS THE FINALE! Also pretend everything Zoey had with Erik is over. Heath has given her space.
So this part will be at the field house before Stark gives Zoey his Warrior Pledge…Okay. Here I go!
Starts when he like started kissing her for like no reason. This will actually have like the exact book scene in it. With my twist
Disclaimer: I still do not own HoN…and of course I'm still wishing I did. I own nothing but my twist in the story. All other contents go the PC Cast and Kristen Cast!
Zoey's POV:
Sure, I should have been pissed. I should have pushed him away and told him off instead of kissing him back (enthusiastically). I'd like to be able to say that my semi-ho-ish reaction to him was because I'd had so much stress and fear in my life lately that I needed to escape, and his arms were the easiest escape available, which would imply I wasn't actually totally responsible for the fact that I was sucking face with Stark right there in the doorway to the stables.
The truth is less flattering, and yet it is still the truth. I didn't kiss him because of stress, or fear, or escape, or because of anything except the fact that I wanted to kiss him. I like him. Really, really like him. I didn't know what I was going to do about him. I didn't know where he would fit in my life—or even how he would fit in my life especially if I was ashamed to admit my feelings for him in public. I could only imagine the freak-out it would cause among my friends. Not to mention the zillion pissed-off pod girls who would…
And thinking about the zillion pod girls Stark had be biting and whatnot finally splashed cold water on me and I managed to stop kissing him. I gave him a shove so that he stepped out of the doorway. I hurried into the field house, looking around guiltily and then breathing a sigh of relief that we were the only ones loitering and cutting class.
There was a little side room off of the mail field house complex. Much like the tack room in the stables. It was where the bows and arrows and targets and other field house-ish and sporting equipment and such was housed. I ducked into it with Stark close on my heels, closed the door, and took a few steps away from him. When he gave me that look, that sexy smile of his, and started toward me I help up my hand like a crossing guard.
"No. You stay over there and I'll stay over here. We need to talk and that's not going to happen if you're close to me," I said.
"Because you can't keep your hands off me?"
"Oh, please. I'm managing to keep my hand off you just fine. I'm not one of your pod girls."
"Pod girls?"
"You know, from Invasion of the Body Snatchers. That's how I think of the girls you bite and mess with their minds so that they're all 'Oooh, that Stark, he's just so hot! Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmygod!' It's seriously annoying. And, by the way, if you ever try any of that crap with me, I promise you I will call all of the five elements and we will kick your butt. Count on it."
"I wouldn't try to do that with you, but that's not saying I wouldn't like to taste you. I totally would." His voice had gone all sexy again and he started to step closer to me.
"No! I'm serious about you staying over there."
"Okay! Okay! What's got your panties in a bunch?"
I narrowed my eyes at him. "My panties are not in a bunch. All hell happens to be breaking loose around us, in case you hadn't noticed. The House of Night is under the control of something that's probably a demon. Neferet has turned into something that's probably a lot worse than a demon. My friends and I are not safe. I have no idea about how to do what I need to do to begin to make this mess right, and to top it all off I'm falling for a guy who's been with a crapload of the girls on campus and used mind control on them."
"You're falling for me?" That was ALL he had to say?
"Yeah, great isn't it? I already have a human guy I've Imprinted. As my grandma would say, my dance card is full."
"I can take care of the Imprint." Automatically Stark's hand came up to stroke the bow that was strapped to his back.
"Hell no, you won't take care of him!" I yelled. "Get this through your head: That bow is not the fix-it answer to your problems. It should be your very last resort and should never, ever be used against another person, human or vampyre. You used to know that."
His face hardened. "You know what happened to me. I'm not going to apologize for what's become my nature."
"Your nature? Do you mean your spoiled-brat nature, or your slut nature?"
"I mean me!" He pounded his fist against his chest. "It's what I am now."
"Okay, you need to hear me once and for all, because I'm not going to keep repeating this. Get a damn clue! We all have bad things inside us, and we all choose either to give in to those bad things or to fight them."
(A/N:Twist completely starts. Lol.) "It's not the same with me, it's not the same with anyone." He took a step back then turned his back to me.
"It's never the same for anyone, all you have to do is choose light over darkness, there will always be a choice, Stark, always. And it's yours."
He turned back facing me and he just stared into my eyes, "You still falling for me?"
"If you make the right choice I will answer you. But let's just say that unless you change I will never be with you, no, Imprint. No I would NEVER want to hurt them, but if I wanted you enough I would stop thinking about anyone other than us."
"So it's a yes?"
"If you do the right choice."
He came to me and before I could do anything he got on one knee, put his hand over his heart then said, "I know how I can make the right choice. I know we're still fledglings but the Sons of Erebus call you a High Priestess. I want to pledge myself to you. Warriors have done it for centuries, pledging themselves, body, heart, and soul, to protect their High Priestess. I believe I qualify as Warrior material."
"Do you understand what you are doing?" We learned about this in Vamp Soc, it was harder to break than an Imprint, he would be there for her his entire life.
"Of course, if I make the right choice everything will be okay. Do you accept my pledge, my lady?"
"Stark, of course I do. In Nyx's name I bind you to the Goddess's service as well as to mine, because to serve me is to serve her."
The air around us changed and there was a bright light and Stark fell to the ground, right at my feet. I fell beside him and I pulled him upright and said, "Stark! Are you okay?"
He looked up at me and at that moment I knew what had happened, his scarlet crescent was filled and there was an arrow design on his face. He had Changed.
"Stark, you- you're Changed." I ran a hand on along his face.
"I have, really?"
I nodded and then I started crying, he put one arm around me, the other on my chin, and then we kissed.
