ΦHouse of Night: A new beginningΦ by XxxTwilightWolfxxX

Lydia sighed, shaking her head. "What if the same thing that happened in the bathroom happens here? Are you crazy?" she whispered to Amber before she had gone to lead Demitri back to the couch. Demitri however felt hot to the touch, much too warm.

Amber sighed, shrugging. "Lydia. I'm not about to let either of you suffer. I wouldn't dare do that." She sat down next to Demitri and squeezed his hand tightly. "Lydia, if anything starts to happen, he'll be on the floor gripping the spot where his balls used to be..."

Lydia sighed, nodding. "Ok....Just be careful, still." she said, hugging Amber with one arm and nodding towards Demitri. She just felt odd being in the room. Upon exit, Demitri pulled away from Amber and closed his eyes tightly, hanging over the lounge chair. "You have to leave..."

Amber sighed, resting her hand on Demitri's back. "I'm not leaving you alone to deal with this by yourself. That would make me a coward and spineless and most of all, a bitch. I'm none of those, so I'm not leaving..."

"Even if I try to take advantage of you?" Demitri asked, looking over at Amber. His eyes were strained, hurt. He couldn't stand this pain within him and his very being. He groaned, and held himself. "I can't seem to get the ideas being put in my head out."

Amber sighed, rubbing his back. "No, even if you try to do that. I care too much about you to do that. I mean, would you leave me if this were happening? On second thought, don't answer that..." She was afraid he might say yes, for whatever reason he had, that would still hurt her.

Demitri stood upright, looking at Amber once more and smiling weakly. "Why would I decide to leave you alone? I mean...I don't know what it is but even before this, I've just been really reeled in for you." he said, hugging her tenderly.

Amber smiled, kissing his cheek softly. "Thank you, really, for telling me that. I'm glad to hear that... So I'm not leaving you either... We'll get through it together. I'll stand by you."

"But, let me tell you this though....In one of those dreams I had..Kalona called me..son." Demitri said, going pale as he remembered. It as the worst dream he ever had. To think, that such a monster could be his father. But how?

Amber grimaced, hanging her head. She groaned, rubbing the back of her neck. "God... That's horrible... I don't know what to say. But remember, I'm here for you no matter what. Even if you try what you did earlier. I'm not going to let you suffer alone."

Demitri raised a brow. "So if I tried it again from earlier, you wouldn't stop me?" he asked, a bit confused. Still, right now the influence wasn't as strong. Perhaps Kalona had decided to come here himself? Demitri hoped as much. "Still, you should go. I don't think any of the older vamps would like finding you here in the boys dorm."

Amber chuckled. "I'd stop you, yes, but I wouldn't leave because you're being possessed by some tempermental PMSing fallen angel... That's not gonna happen." She sighed when he mentioned the older vamps. "They'd know what was up between us if it was for anything else. They know what's going on already..."

Demitri groaned, shaking his head. Amber just was underestimating him way too much! "Can't you go? It's obvious that no one can help me. I'm messed up, ok? Just get the fuck out." he said, shaking his head again and turning his back to her.

Amber huffed, sitting down on the couch. "I'm not going anywhere. I already told you that. I was being nice. Now I'll be a bitch about it if you make me." She eyed him seriously, her eyes steely gray.

Demitri huffed as well, rolling his eyes. The damn chick was definitely persistent. Yawning, he sat on the other couch before her. "Fine. Stay." he said, looking back just as serious and closing his eyes.

Amber smiled. "Oh, thank you for the invitation..." She smiled and stretched, Rolling her handsin circles, which was weird because she never used to do that.

Demitri nodded, sighing again, aggravated. "So, what do you think about all this?" he asked, scoffing and shaking his head.

Amber shrugged. "For you, it has to suck with all the lust and what-not, no pun intended... But for the rest of us, the ones who know anyways, it's kinda a guessing game to survive all this... You've got it the worst hun."

"Nice pep talk." Demitri mumbled, looking down. He couldn't possibly be related to Kalona. It was impossible! It was pretty fu*ked up, his family tree. "This must be all some sort of joke...has to be." he said, then jumping as a raven hit the window, cracking it some.

Amber tensed immediately, listening to the horrid call of the ravens. "I'm sorry, but just about everything I know is pointing to you, whether it's fucked up or not.. Which it is.. And those ravens are gonna be good friends with you soon enough."

"Don't say that! I'm not like Kalona!" Demitri yelled, slamming his fist on the arm of the chair. He gritted his teeth, glaring at Amber. "Just get the fuck out. Shit, you really think I'll start raping girls!?" he hissed, his eyes seeming to tear up.

Amber winced, standing up. She turned away from him, her breath shaky. For a second, just then, she had sworn he was goimg to hit her. "I didn't say that Demitri..." She wiped her eyes, her hands on her arms. "Fine, I'll leave. You don't want me here. Have fun with this on your own, because you obviously don't need my help. You don't need anyone's help do you? You've got this all figured out huh?"

Demitri gulped and shuddered. He didn't know he could feel such a rush of anger in him before. "Amber....I'm sorry, I just....I got this sudden rush, I don't know what's happening to me." he said, holding his head tightly. He groaned, shaking.

Amber turned before she opened the door. He looked... She wanted to say pathetic, but it was worse than that. He looked utterly distraught. "It's... It's okay Demitri... You just got to hold on. Remember, I'll help you in any way I can..."

Distraught? Pathetic? Amber had no idea what Demitri was hearing in his head, so many vile things that the voices told him to do. To take Amber...to kill and take over the school. It was insane! Now ravens were surrounding him? He could get killed by one of the vamps for even being related to Kalona however fucked up it may have been.
