Of Summer Nights

Chapter 4

Hey, Guys. From here onwards its gonna be either Stevie Rae’s POV or Rephaim’s POV. Just so you all know. On with chapter 4!

REPHAIM POV

This godforsaken shack is so cold! The musky scent of mould and stale water is so strong that I think it will stay with me until long after I’ve left this hell hole. Though I don’t know when I'm leaving, I've been told to stay put, by a child! And it is my undying wish to say ‘no’ to her, if only I could. It would be like stealing alcohol from an alcoholic. Impossiblely possible.

 While I lay on the floor of this burned out shack, under the dying sun, I was hit by emotions that weren’t mine. Lust. Love. Confusion. But then one I do recognise, Jealousy. But wait! Too prominent, is it mine? No it can’t be me jealous of the girl and her new mate? Yes, it has to be. It can’t be mine, I’m not that weak. Or am I?

Since the ‘Imprint’ I feel as though I don’t know myself anymore. There are feelings I've never experienced before, lust and love were two of them. I dislike the girl for showing me these torturous emotions, but have feelings for her that I cannot shake off this feeling towards her that is like nothing I have ever had before, one of those feelings is, love. As wrong as I know it is I love this child as much as I love my father, possibly greater! It’s as if I don’t know myself any more.

My wings expanded on their own, like I’m being driven by this jealousness, but driven where? The young priestess? She would not be too pleased to see me, especially as she had her new mate. And I knew that! Then why-oh-why were my midnight wings carrying me to the clad of lilac, that was just visible across the borders over Tulsa and Broken Arrow? And at great speed too, faster than she had told me I was aloud while my body repaired after saving her from the glare of the sun. My body like hers, was more accustomed to the night even if I do not belong the Nyx (Spit) I burn in the sun, so the dying light now was tingling my skin, but I could bring my self to set down and hide myself away for human eyes, which no doubt I knew they could see me.

It’s like she’s poisoned my system, I'm willing myself to stop, and not give the humans any more reason to dislike our society, though after what my father has done they will be angry for a long time. Look at me taking pity on the lower forms, another trait I have learnt from the child she constantly feels pity on these ape-like creatures. And yes I am ashamed of being half of one. My wings are telling me too go one and stop the jealousy infecting me permanently, to pull apart their ‘happy’ love story.

Another emotion had joined the original trio, happiness; this scummy human was making my Stevie Rae happy. My vision was tinted red. New. That is something that had never happened before. And not something I hope to repeat. I'm sure by now she would have noticed an outside emotion seep into her, and I hoped she was good at hiding things because against my better judgement her friends knew nothing about me. Though I hope she was a lot colder towards this human, with my emotions within her. Though knowing this child she would not let mere foreign emotions bother her.

As I landed I felt closer Stevie Rae, closer than I’d felt in a long time. The feeling and emotions were rolling like waves off of her; I could hear faint whispers from within the little log cabin. I stood in the drive way for all to see though no one was there to see any thing. Until a twitch in the curtain made me hastily run for cover in the over grown untended to part of Sylvia Redbirds garden. I looked back the curtain had be let loose and there was no one or nothing there. Thank goodness.

I curled up and waited till I knew she was alone, or her friend was asleep, then I sat and concentrated. Stevie Rae. Stevie Rae, wake up. Come outside, Please. Okay, I felt stupid as heck, but I'm guessing it worked, I hard walking round from within the house.

 

Hey guys, Sorry it’s short. I don’t normally alternate between POVs so it kinda put me out. Then on top of that I found it really hard to do it from Rephaim’s POV, cos in the books he doesn't clear explain his feelings. I hope I did well, and showed exactly why he went to see Stevie Rae.

Please R&R
