Rephaim and Stevie Rae? OMG!

I also think Stevie Rae needs him in her life too. It may sound crazy, but at times it seemed like Rephaim was the only one she could rely and depend on and i think that's good for Rephaim as well. Rephaim's probably never had anyone believe he's capable of good or needed him. Everybody wants a purpose in life.

I think so too. I also think that they need each other because of the experiences they've been through together. I don't think SR can relate to other people as much as she can to Rephaim. I think he's also struggling with Light and Dark, but he hasn't really needed Light until he met SR. I don't think any of SR friends would understand. It seems like the other reds are just doing what they're told and with SR it's more than just that. She knows what's right, but she's not doing it because she knows it's the right thing to do, she's doing it because she believes in it.

I totally agree. I think that's what Tempted was trying to show us when Stevie Rae was looking around for Raven Mockers. That being the first of your kind tended to be an isolating thing, something Rephaim would know first hand. None of Stevie Rae's friends seemed to understand Darkness, they have never experienced it first hand, so how could they? Rephaim and Stevie have been through all this hard stuff, but i think the most important thing is that they got through it together. I think it's going to get to a point where both of them are going to think "Rephaim would know what I mean/talking about." or "Stevie Rae would believe me."

Kramisha is the only Red Fledgling actively doing the right thing, but i think that's more of a case of Kramisha is one of the few Red Fledglings who have semi-developed character. We know next to nothing about the other Red Fledglings.

I think so too. I think that before SR goes to Zoey, she'd try to track down Rephiam because he understands her. Where as Z would just criticize her for helping a mocker that was trying to kill Z.

I have a feeling that Stevie Rae's not going to able to talk to Zoey about Rephaim at all. I mean when she was in the Other World, Zoey kept going on and on about how she'd trusted Kalona and how wrong she'd been about him. Zoey could easily see Rephaim as attempting to pull the same trick on Stevie Rae and Zoey just doesn't want her to get hurt,

That and I also see Z as being hypocritical. I think that she thinks that no one else can make the same mistakes as she does. I think part of it is because she wants to protect everyone and maybe a little guilt even? One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. However I think that Zoey needs to realize the difference between Kalona and Rephaim. Kalone knew Light and turned his back on it, where as Rephaim only knew Darkness.

i think SR would not be able, 'cause Z is too much focused on herself and her problems. it was always like that in the books. SR always talked with Z about Z's problems, but nearly never they were talking about SR's problems. SR really loves Z, but in this case, Z isn't the person SR could turn to. I guess Karishma would be the first person (except Dallas) who will know about Rephaim. She already supposed something like that (the talk after the scene with the bulls in the hospital)

I totally agree. There's also the thing about Stevie Rae being the first Red Vampyre High Priestess. People (like Lenobia and Dallas) expect more from her than they do themselves. Stevie Rae has to set an example for her Fledglings so she'd be under a helluva lot of pressure to be perfect. Yet it's perfectly okay for Zoey to do the same thing...

I think you're absolutely correct. I think Kramisha will indeed be the person Stevie Rae confides the whole "Other Guy" issue with. Kramisha understands what it's like to battle Darkness, external and internal. I have a feeling that Kramisha has already figured it all out and is just bidding her time

i guess that Karishma knows already, too. that she repeated the verse from the poem after she heard SR fighting up for a Raven Mocker could be a hint for that...

Well also chuck in the fact that Nicole said that she rescued Rephaim from the abbey, and then they used him for bait. To be honest, that makes more sense. How else would three fledglings get Stevie Rae (a very strong and powerful Vampyre) trapped on the roof and almost killed? I kept wondering when one of her Fledglings would figure out the truth of the situation and then ask "We all know you didn't fall and hit your head. So what was the real reason why you were up there?" Then add in the fact that Stevie Rae has been healing super fast, her blood smells wrong, Raven Mocker blood smells wrong. Stevie Rae somehow got information about the Other World and Kalona from somewhere. Stevie Rae has a guy issue going, the other guy being someone no-one would approve of. It all adds up.

very true, however I believe that the others think it is a human or one of the pod people at the HoN not a raven mocker (except Kramisha and dallas) and they are giving SR the benifit of the doubt that she'll come to her senses. When SR reveals who it is I think the others will be shocked by it but will eventually except it, especially if they see Rephaim save her life or protect her or something like that.

I think Rephaim might have to do a lot more than saving Stevie Rae's life. I mean, people will just come to the conclusion that Rephaim has to save Stevie Rae because of their Imprint, her pain is his pain, ya know? I think it'll have to be that Rephaim does something like saving her Fledglings or Zoey when he doesn't have to for people to really start believing he's capable of becoming an agent of Light

That would be so cute :'D
Stevie Rae would be so happy if he saved Z or something like that.
But yea I agree, he has to do something bigger than just saving her.

Yea, I think it will take a lot more than saving SR to convince Z and the rest of her friends that Rephaim is turning away from Darkness. I mean, I'm sure they'd all convince themselves it was out of necessity on his part that he saved her. Not that he chose to save her because he cares about her.

ya right he really have to show more goodness - that he not just saved SR because of their imprint (or maybe they think he is a liar - loren has had an imprint with Z, but he did it to use her... maybe they will worry that Rephaim is about to do the same to SR? Kalona is interested in SRs power, they could think it's just a trick). but the most difficult thing will be the peace between Dragon and Rephaim. I'm not shure if that will be possible - even if Dragon would be the one Rephaim saves. i guess to handle this problem, Dragon "has" to die. i mean, Rephaim couldn't just hang around with the group as long as Dragon is with them... he will never forgive Rephaim, i'm shure of that.

Dragon could very well be the person Rephaim saves, but Rephaim and Stevie Rae could also move from Tulsa, they wouldn't have to stay at the Tulsa House of Night for the rest of their lives. Or Dragon could move from the Tulsa House of Night. Dragon doesn't have to die or anything Though if Dragon was murdered i could see how it would be easy to pin it on Rephaim.

noooo, SR and Rephaim shouldn't went to another house of night or so. and i think it's important in the fight against evil, that the circle is complete. and i guess, that point (with the complete circle) would be the reason why the others don't reject her forever if they find out about Rephaim (and i'm pretty shure they will reject her when they'll find out)

of course i don't want Dragons death, i hope he will just go away -.- but all in all, the worst thing for me would be if SR runs away with Rephaim. That would be very sad

It would be, but i can see how the situation from being kidnapped (Rephaim did say he was under orders to capture Stevie Rae) could be made to look like their ran away together.

i didn't really understand what you mean, you mean they will run away when Rephaim acts like he kidnapped her or what?

I mean that Rephaim could kidnap her because he's under orders from his dad to do so and he could make it look like they ran away together. Oh the Scandal! Lol

but why should he make it look like? i mean he could make it look like he's kidnapping her to do what his father told him and then they could run away! that would be better, don't it?

Yeah but then Rephaim would get in trouble with his Dad when Kalona shows up looking for him, wondering what's taking so long lol.

better than staying in Kalonas house or whatever with her. i mean when she even cut her finger and Kalona smells her blood or so he would find out what happend. i'm not shure if he could just find out when he's got Rephaim around him, i don't know how close Rephaim and Kalona are linked. so i think it would be much more safe for them to run away. i guess Kalona could always find them but in all the ways, it's just not save as long as they're imprinted. i believe Kalona will feel that there's something different about Rephaim.

You raise a valid point. Perhaps Kalona will sense that there is something different about Rephaim, i mean Rephaim sensed that there was something different about Kalona. But Stevie Rae getting a cut around Kalona? I'm not sure how that would happen to begin with, but it could just mean (to Kalona) that Stevie Rae is becoming an Immortal being of Light, you know to counter the fact that Neferet is becoming an Immortal being of Darkness

i just thought that this could happen, that she could get hurt, because of Neferet torture her or whatever. then they will smell the immortal blood from SR. Was just a thought. of course Kalona will find out, the question is just how and when. maybe he's too deep in his own tragic thoughts so that he doesn't notice it in the beginning but later on he will.
would be nice if SR will. She already heals very fast and has much power. but i cannot imagine it, cause Neferet seems to do some more things than just feeding from Kalona to get an immortal...
