I knocked on Damien's door and waited for him to (please) hurry up and open the darn door.
He opened the door, "Oh, hey, Xoe. Need something?"
"You bet I need something," I muttered to myself. "Can I come in, please?"
"Yeah, yeah, sure, of course," he said as he took a step back so I could come in.
As soon as I was in and the door was closed I pulled my shirt sleeve up.
Damien's brown eyes widened in facination. "
Whoa," he breathed gaily.
I snorted, "Whoa doesn't even discribe it! It keeps happening over and over again! I just got this one when that Stark kid was talkin' to me. Why?!"
"I don't know, Xoe. I'd get your mentor, but she isn't here...."
It would be so much better if Lenobia were here to help me figure out what was going on. I wouldn't be freaking out like I am if she were. She always carried this sence of calm with her that made me feel calm, too. I liked my metor. She was totally awesome, and she totally kicked some crazy vampyre butt!
Cameron (Damien's cat) padded to me and started to purr as she slid easlily around my legs. I bent down and started to pet the cat, "Hi, sweetie."
"You like cats? I thought you liked dogs more?" Damien asked, dumbfounded.
"Well, yeah, kind of. I never had a cat, though. My mom hated them....''
"Damien?" we heard someone call from the hall as they knocked on the door.
"Come in," he called as he bent down and picked up Cameron.
A tiny girl with blond hair and bright blue eyes walked in. "Oh, hi, Kass!"
She smiled at him, "Hi, Damien. I was wondering if you could help me study for the Vamp Soc test on Monday....?"
"Yeah, sure. Come on in. All the way," be chuckled as he put Cameron down on the bed.
"Hi," she said softly to me.
I turned to face her, "Hi, I'm Xoe."
"Oh! I totally heart the name!"
I laughed, "Thanks."
"I'm Kass," she smiled again.
"Nice to meet ya, Kass," I smiled at her.
Suddenly I saw here eyes widen. She was staring at the top of my head, mouth hanging wide open.
I sighed and pushed my bangs outta the way of my freakish Mark.
"Whoa! Oh. My. Goddess!"
"Yeah," I shrugged.
"That is soo awesome and seriously pretty! How did you get them?" she asked.
"She woke up one day and they were there. Now, she gets more of her Mark at random times," Damien answered.
I turned to him, "Do you have any possible idea as to why?"
"Same thing with Z. You've been Chosen by Nyx for some special reason."
As he said it I felt the tingly thing happen again. I looked down at my hands to see the same red swirles that covered my body on the top of my hands. "Well, it is really pretty.... But, I just want to know why me? I can't do anything! I'm only fifteen! I can't even drive!"
Beside me I heard Kass' intake of breath as she looked at my Mark. "That. Is. So. Beautiful." she breathed.
I shrugged. "Yeah. Well, I'll leave you guys to your studying. Have fun. See ya 'round Kass. Later Damien."
"Bye!" Kass called as I walked out into the hall.
