Zoeys POV

Breakfast was fine until, Stevie Rae lent over towards the Canadian and whispered a short sentence on his ear, his face fell. Stevie Rae stood up and moved to the opposite side of the table. Next to me, I leant over and whispered in her ear,

“What in the name of Nyx did you say to him?” she looked across the table guiltily, “It’s nothin’” she whispered “I can’t see him any more.” She added bluntly. I grabbed her arm and pulled her from the room. “What is wrong with you? Yesterday you were smitten.” I rounded on her. She looked really upset and confused. I took her in my arms, “Oh Stevie Rae, honey.” She started sobbing. “I wish I could stay longer” I whispered in her ear, still holding her in my arms.

I was due to leave for the House of Night in a few hours. And that's about the time I had to work out what had happened over night to my best friend. She sobbed on my shoulder, she was more confused than me and I was confused as hell.

She sniffed a couple of times, and then the waterfall that had been shrouding her face ceased. I held her at arms length,

“Do you want to talk about it?” I asked politely, she shook her head. “I think you’ll have to give Jaime an explanation. But when you can, yeah.” She looked worried, but agreed. I sighed, goddess she was hard to talk to sometimes.

I thought of anything that could have happened during last night that would tell me what was so hard for Stevie Rae to tell me, I came up blank. There was only one other thing I could think of, but it meant betraying all trust I held with my best friend. She was keeping something from me, something big. I had to know.

I let Stevie Rae go and told her I would talk to her later, I had to wrap my head around the idea that was formulating in my head. If I could send her something that would show that I didn’t care about what she had to say, she was still my best friend, maybe she would tell me her reason for breaking up with the hotness she had been totally in love with not twelve hours ago.

Betraying all trust, I slowly left my subconscious, Spirit, I need your help. I know it isn’t something I would normally do, but there is something I need you to help Stevie Rae with. I know Nyx would not approve but she needs to be shown that our goddess accepts us all. Spirit I ask you to go to Stevie Rae and help her know that she can tell me the truth or Nyx. Spirit go to Stevie Rae. I ended and felt the element leave my body, like a liquid melting from my blood stream.

“Zoey, no fair!” I heard a shriek from the next room. She had obviously just felt spirit join her, she stumbled into the room, “I told you I’d tell you when I was ready.” I frowned she hadn’t.

“No you didn’t I said I’d speak to you later you said okay.” She gave me a funny look, and huffed. I knew she hated being proved wrong, “Well did it help?” I asked curious, though I knew the answer. “Hmm, let me think. No” she turned and stalked off. Damn that imprint with Aphrodite had made her the damnedest bit bitchier. 

I gave up when I saw her close her eyes at the table which she had just stalked off too, she looked like she was meditating, and she was even moving her lips like she was whispering some charm. I would have too ask Kramisha what type of meditation she had taught Stevie Rae. I turned away, and walked down to the bluffs, it was where I go to think, a habit I had got off Grandma.
