Life Changes in a short time (Part 2 of senior year)

Chapter 13

Still in the 2 month flashback

Back to Athena POV:

Sleep was not working after the talk with Zack, I guess I should have realized that this could have been one reason he asked if I wanted to come with him. Just laying here in the bed my mind was going in different directions, when we talked is aura keep changing a little but he was not lying to me that I knew. Even if I did not have the aura to tell me otherwise, his eyes gave him away. I could not take it any more I need more answers and he needed to know about my aura reading because if he could block it from me then it would be helpful so I would not get distracted by it like last time.

I got up and seen that it was daylight I guess I had slept but my mind never stopped, I felt like a couple of hours is all I got. I took a shower and changed into something comfy and went to sit outside and enjoy the warm air. I could not tell you how long I sat there and stared out at the water with my own thoughts, my mind not settling on one but bouncing around to different thing. Why had Nate not told me about the bond with everything that we had talked about.

I had so many question and so little answers but a part of the talk with Zack popped in to my head right then the bond. He did bite me that night in France, I wonder if we are bonded now. If that is the case that would explain why I feel weird all the time and why there feels like a part of me is missing! I need to find Zack just to double check.

I got up and walked back into the room right as Zack shut the door. "Zack I need to continue our talk now!" I know I had a look of desperation in my eyes. "Ok, give me a few to wash up!" I nodded walking back out and staring back out at the water. I zoned out for awhile before Zack came to sit with me. "Zack, I need to know, how can you tell if your bonded?" Giving me a shocked look, he said "Well you will know if your bonded when you feel like some part of you is missing, but if your bond is strong enough then you can feel each other's feeling like they are your own." I nodded my head. I opened and closed my month a couple of time before I got the nerve to ask "How can I try to see if I'm bonded to Nate?" "Well I could call him and see if he can change his emotions and then you can tell me if you feel any different!" I thought about it for a little bit then nodded my head, I need to know because the way Zack talked about the bonding thing I would never feel the same way with someone else and I did not want to but Nate throw any of my grief or pain. I could hear Zack talking to Nate on the phone tell him what he need to do. "Ok, Athena relax your mind and tell me if you feel any different emotions running throw your body!" I nodded while closing my eyes taking deep breaths in and out to clear my mind. Nothing happened and then all a sudden the feeling of loneness consumed my body like nothing else. I felt hurt, alone, sad, and in pain like my heart was ripped out of my chest. Tears welled up and ran over, I started shacking like a blender with ice in it. I heard Zack yell at Nate for some reason and then I felt a par of arms take a hold of me and smother me in a hug rocking back and forth trying to comfort me. I was finally able to get myself back to normal after a little bit and then I knew right then and there I was bonded with Nate for life. I loved him and he did not mean to do this but I was hurt that he did not tell me this would happen if he bit me, He made it sound like it was normal for vampires to bit during sex. My breathing was still labored from all the crying and shaking I had done but I raised my head to look in Zack's eyes "What am I suppose to do now and why did he not tell me about the bond?" Zack closed his eyes then opened them and I could see how sorry he was. "Nate never told you because he did not know about it. One thing about Nate you need to understand is he was so determined to be as close to a human as he could get he never really learned all the ends and out of being a vampire and what comes with it as well. The rules were as far as he went to learning about his world." I felt myself give in to the sad moping feeling that I first had when I got home. The worst part was Zack was still holding me and it felt so wrong even thou he was just trying to comfort me, which just made me feel worse than before. I tried to get out of Zack's hold because it felt wrong on so many leaves they were not the strong arms I wanted to hold me and those emotions I felt must be how Nate feels now
