Creepy Erik?

yeah that would be good if that erik came back, but i think he had a right to be the 'new' erik.

oh well yeah, absolutely. I'm just saying I liked him better before, but I think that ever since Zoey got caught with Loren he's been...
whoa, which makes sense, but it sucks.
And maybe you're right Lilith of Night, he could just be really hurt, I mean he did say he thought he was starting to fall in love with Zoey. and she does seem a little selfish when it comes to her relationships. I do doubt it's guilt, it's more of confusion on who she could have it best with, I think. The problem is it's all from her point of veiw, so I get wrapped up in what she's saying and then Erik just seems off, which is how she sees it (basically, anyway).

yeah but i don't think she likes the idea of being boyfriendless. she'd rather cheat on him with other people but still call him her boyfriend. that's not how you should treat someone so i totally understand how erik would feel and have been looking at it from his perspective ever since she slept with loren and he walked in.

OK, this is what I think. Yeah, Zoey screwed up MAJORLY by cheating on Erik, but you know what?! That kind of thing happens and if he REALLY wanted her to stay, he would have made some effort, and she would have apologized. It takes two to tango, and three is a crowd. They are both to blame. And that's my opinion.

exactly; Zoey feels lonely and incomplete without someone right next to her and so she feels the need to fill the apce up all the time, and when one guy doesn't give her all she wants, she just keeps adding men on.
its unhealthy, and she's a great character but she needs to stop.

Hence the reason that is where she is naive.

There's nothing wrong with the fact of wanting someone strong to be the protector. I always hated being single. As for Zoey's story, she felt like one guy wasn't fulfilling in one area, she found someone else to fill that. And for Aphrodite telling her Erik is controlling, it might also be in her way of not wanting him to be happy either.

yeah, she wants a guy to fill each area, and the excuse she uses is that high priestesses can have a warrior, a consort and a mate. she isn't even a real high priestess, just a naive fledging, and she thinks it will be fine with the guys that they have to share.

Because that is what she is told by Darius, and other older vampyres.

^ EXACTLY!

She can also just have one. Some people's religion allows them to have more than one wife, but they will only take one. She can do the same. Also, having a warrior doesn't mean she can go around kissing him and cheating on Erik with him. Sure they have a bond, but Darius explained that it's different than an imprint. It's more spiritual and whatnot. And the imprint with Heath could be more pleasurable, but you don't see Aphrodite jumping on Stevie Rae. She never exhibits any self-control. So in a sense she is abusing them and using them to her benefit and using them as an excuse to get what she wants from everyone.

yes! she just abuses them and just using them to her benefit to have multiple relationships

yeah he probably can. i think she should at least have read the handbook before going around imprinting with people and accepting warrior oaths then saying she's allowed them all cause most high priestesses do. she needs to realises she's not a real high priestess, just one in training. did aphrodite go around doing that? no.

yeah, and also, she would have felt so young when she was with loren. he made her sound like a kid.

you'd go outside and put yourself in danger just for the sake of spite?

No i would have said something to him like your not telling me what i'm going to do and then decide what to do i don't think I personally would have gone outside with heath but I think Zoey did just because Erik did what he did

see, and that makes me feel like a hypocrite cuz if I'd been pissed enough, I would've walked right outside and here I am talking about how she's got everything wrong when it comes to men. Zoey had a right to be irritated, and no it wasn't the best move, but I cant say much about her going outside. the rest of the things she's done I can honestly say I'm not guilty of, but this one thing i kinda see eye-to-eye with her on. Was it wrong? Absolutely. But I also find it 100% understandable. Would I have gone with Heath? No, I don't really like him, but had Stark asked or even the red vampire guy (can't think of his name at the moment) i definitely would have-just to show that I won't be ordered around. Stupid, but true.
