The story talks about the war and how severely injured these men were. Fred Collins of A Company in the middle of all the battle that's going on, he decides that he is thirsty and wants a drink of water. All his fellow men are just looking at him as he was just joking. I mean if you were fighting, having bullets flying past you, getting a drink of water should be the last thing in your mind. How thirsty do u have to be in order for you to risk your life for a drink a water. The irony, a soldier is suppose to fight against the enemy, not go and sacrifice himself for a drink. Man some people are just to selfish.

After Stevie Rae finally showed herself to everyone, people were in shock to see and the rest of the people they taught were dead. Neferet comes out saying that Zoey was the creator of these new vampires. Zoey tries to explain the actual story, but Neferet says she has prof that she is the leader, and out comes Stark. Zoey and her friends were now in shock as well. She almost ran towards him, but Aphrodite stopped her because he was with Neferet. Everyone in the audience just keeps looking at Neferet and Stark. Aphrodite and Zoey realize that Neferet is not wearing her crest, but instead she is wearing a necklace with black wings. This shows that Neferet is no longer under Nyx but evil. Neferet commanded Stark to aim for the earths blood, he grabbed his bow and arrow and aim directly at Stevie Rae's forehead. Stevie Rae slowly collapse and her blood was dripping down to the earth, the weird part was that her blood blended in with the earth, and so it really looked like the earth was bleeding. Zoey and her friends wanted to rush over towards Stevie Rae, but Aphrodite said that they had to keep the circle in place, so only Zoey went to help Stevie Rae. Aphrodite said it was time for them to go and escape before Kalon came from the ground. Zoey asked Erik and Venus to help Stevie Rae move, but before she had asked Erik to make up his mind in deciding which side he will be in. Erik shows to be with Zoey, slowly they started evacuating.
Wow, I really wasn't expecting any of this, Neferet would be that type of person to do such a thing as this tough. I wonder how she found out about the nanny cam and when Stark woke up? Creepy! I got confused in the middle of all of this situation, I don't understand which side Shekanah and the rest of the vampires were in. One part in the book it seemed that Shekanah was in with Neferet, and that all the rest of the vampires were hypnotized. Well now the story will become more interesting. I wonder how Zoey and her friends will do now.

The ritual was starting off with Erik's sacrifice blood. Zoey thanked Erik for his sacrifice moving to Damien to cast the circle. Damien was wind, after the calling of the element each of Zoey, friends would get to drink Erik's blood. When it was time for earth to be called Aphrodite was nervous because Stevie Rea still hadn't shown up. Zoey stood to the plan she told everyone that Aphrodite did have the Earth element but only because she was holding it for Stevie Rae. Once Zoey said Stevie Rae's name, Stevie Rae appeared and everyone was in a stage of shock. Zoey told everyone the truth about Stevie Rae and the new fleedgings. People were still looking at their old friends who they taught were dead. Neferet finally said something, she told everyone that it was Zoey who had created the freaks.
Everyone was in shock, I mean you would be too. If you taught that your friends and or roommate was dead and you find out that they weren't they just transformed to something different. You too would be shocked and sad and happy. The part that surprised me the most was Neferet saying what she said. Again she is going turn things around and make it seem that Zoey was responsible for everything. This just shows that Neferet is willing to do anything to get her way.

Zoey and her friends were going over the ritual casting. Jack and Damien had gotten the music covered and also added in a surprised. Zoey dislikes surprises, but what could she do, it was already to late to make any changes. Eri and Shaunee had put the candles in their place. So far everything was going by well, except for Stevie Rae not answering her cell phone. When they arrived at the ritual, everyone was waiting for them. For some reason Neferet was nowhere to be found. The surprised Jack and Damien had for Zoey was that Erik was going to be her poet. Oh boy, that one thing Zoey was not expecting. This ritual was going to be different for everyone, Zoey had to sacrifice a vampire, Erik had volunteered also for this. I wonder how things will turn out, not only does Zoey have to drink Eriks blood, but reveal to everyone Stevie Rae, who has been "dead" for months. That going to be one long night. I wonder what Neferet has planned, she seems to be oddly suspicious.

Zoey finished showing Sister Mary Angela all of the element. The Sister was o.k with everything, she said she always knew that the world had unseen powers. Zoey was glad that the nun understood everything, and so the sister would stay to watch Grandma. Meanwhile Zoey did the Spiritual casting back at school. Everyone was waiting for her at school. All of her friends ganged up on her, asking her questions about how her Grandma was. Zoey felt better that all her friends were worried about Grandma and her. She knew that she had to face evil right now. Erin taught it would be a good idea to start a new year with new clothes, so everyone was dressed all nice and beautiful. Soon enough everyone would find out about the evil things Neferet has done and about Stevie Rae. Hopefully things go according to plan. For some reason I believe that Neferet is up to something unexpected. Zoey and her friends better watch their backs. Stevie Rae better show up, I wonder how people will react to all of this news. Things don't always go as you want them to. It was wearied to see how the nun reacted to everything, who knew nuns believed in the supernatural. I always taught that they had to be super religious. Guess I was wrong.

Zoey's Grandma was put in a coma. The Doctor said it was best for her to stay in a coma, it would help her brain heal faster. That's still doesn't sound as well as sleeping. When Zoey first came inside the room where her Grandma was staying at, she had heard bird wings. Creepy Zoey knew the birds where following her and her Grandmother. Zoey basically spent all her day in the hospital. Zoey had to call a nun to take care of Grandma. Zoey had to tell the nun about demons watching over her and Grandma. The nun at first did not believe anything that Zoey was saying. She was a nun after all, demons are evil. Zoey understood that the nun did not believe her so she showed the nun her powers. It was then that the nun believed her. Its one thing to hear about something, its another thing to actually face it and see it first hand. If that were to ever happen to me, that would probably be too much for one day. I don't think that I would faint, but just stay quiet for some time. I believe in a lot of stuff, this might extend my creativity of how life actually works and is.

Zoey's Grandma was in a car wreck, the raven Mocker caused her accident. Zoey told Aphrodite about the Raven Mocker watching after them and listening to Grandma and her conversation during the night. The Raven knew exactly were Grandma was heading and so it followed her and almost killed. Both Zoey and Aphrodite were worried and scared for Grandma. Zoey remember that she had promised her Grandma that nothing and no one will get in her way to stop the evil invading the House of Night and Neferet. Zoey had to ask Aphrodite to tell the others, Zoey didn't know what she will do if she lost her Grandma.
Its hard to lose someone you really care about. Especially if that person was like a mother to you. Zoey's mother changed after she remarried and so she wasn't a great mother. Grandma was a better mother to Zoey, she was the only one who understood her and cared about her. Its not only scary and creepy to have ravens following and listening to you but now they want to kill you and the people you care about the most. Zoey must be scared to death right now.
