We stared at each other breathing heavy. I gave him a smile and went in for another kiss.

Best kiss ever.

Chapter 22

I moaned as I his arms encircled me bringing me a against his chest as he continued to assault my swollen lips. I deepened the kiss as much as I could ,I have never thought kissing could be so enjoyable. Voldemort broke the kiss and trailed his lips over my jaw and towards my neck, the feeling of his lips and teeth scrapping my neck was to much I couldn't hold back my moan anymore. I gasp when I felt Voldemorts teeth sink into my neck and suck. He bit me. Oh Gods. I rolled my head to the side giving him more access to my neck. I knew this was going to leave a mark but I could not find it in me to care. I don't know how long it was but we just sat their making out until the house elf came and informed us and lunch was ready.

When we finalize broke apart we were both flushed and breathing heavily. I was pretty sure that me lips were swollen and my neck felt a bit sore from where he had birthday me.

" We need to go to lunch. " I spoke still struggling his lap.

" Hhhmmmm , yes we do. " he said staring at the marks on my neck . He showed no indication of letting me go so I started to wiggle around hoping that he will get the hint and let me go.

Thankfully he did though his arms lingered longer than necessary on my waist. I got up and held my hand out for him to take so he could get up at well. We made our way to the dinning room were everyone already sat . I quick took my seat ,keeping my head down and silently ate, trying my best not to draw attention to myself.

I could help but look up when I felt that I was being stared at. My green eyes met with a pair of black eyes that were staring at me, more specifically my neck. I quietly arranged my hair so it flowed around my neck hide most of the marks.

Nico raising an eyebrow at me a huge smirk on his lips. Damn him. He probably knows who gave them to me. Idiot know it all. I narrow my eyes at him when he glances from me to Voldemort and back to me me.

And the cherry blush is back. I really hate my for blushing so easily. I do nothing to confirm or deny his theory but we both know my blush is a dead giveaway.

I was thankful when lunch had ended, I just stood up when Nico grabbed my arm and dragged my towards the door. I ducked my head, since everyone was staring at us and I knew a pair of crimson eyes were watching as well.

As soon as we were in a room Nico locked the door and faced me with his arms cross.

" You and Voldemort huh? " it was a question who we both knew he knew the answer to.

" .....maybe. "

" Just be careful Alex, you're like a sister to me and I don't want you to get your heart broken. Voldemort is not know for being loving and caring. " he wrapped his arms around me in a comforting hug who I returned.

" In know but it's feels like we've known each before, we get along well and I known he cares about me too. I can see it in his eyes. " I took a breath. " It's also the worst timing, we gotta war soon and everyone will use him a target, and I know I'm being selfish but maybe just maybe I can get my chance as happiness, and Aphrodite for even need to interfere. "

" No matter the choices you make I will always love you and stand by your side no matter what. And lord or no lord he will get his assistant kicked if he even thinks of hurting you. You've been through so much, you deserve this. " he let me go from his embrace keeping me at arms distance.

" Come on its been a while since we've just talked, we can go sit by the pond. "That's how ended up spending the day. Catching up and talking about everything that had happened, making jokes and fooling around. The day couldn't have gotten any better. Only problem was be were a bit late for supper. Voldemort did not look please at all. When we sat down I could feel his eyes on me, I gave him a small smile and his gaze softened a little before he continued his talk with Lucius.

Dinner was a peaceful and calm event, that was until an orb placed itself in the middle of the table, glowing bright white.

" What is it?" A death eater asked, I was not sure who. Almost every one had their wands out and pointed it towards the orb.

I was about to answer when Nico spoken before I could.

" It's a Orb. Demigods use them to send message sometime. There early used. They can also only be opened by the person the are meant for. " as he spoke Nico had taken a knife from the table and made a cut on his thumb and let several drops of blood fall onto the orb it glowed blue for a second then went white again.

Nico looked towards me ignoring everyone else that was watching us.
" It's for you then. "

I slowly stepped forward and conjured my own dagger of pure ice. I cut my finger and let the blood drop on the orb. It glowed blue and stayed blue.

Then the sound of things crashing and breaking could be heard and a voice spoke. The voice was panicked and rushed and very familiar.

" Be careful Alex, there coming from you, don't trust anyone ,there coming for you you need to hide. There's not much I can do, be safe and follow your heart. I don't know if I'll make it their in the house but theirs a painting in the attic you would want to see. Rember-" She was cut off by something crash and everything went silent the Orb fell onto the table, a small ball not glowing anymore.

I looked at Nico our gazes locked and we spoke the one word we knew who had sent the orb.

" Rachel. "

I slow started to back up until my back hit the wall and I slid down keeping my knees t my chest. I can't believe it, don't I get a break.

And as much as I wanted to think about this, I had the feeling something wasn't right. I stood ready to ask Nico if he felt the same thing when something jumped from the shadows and slammed me against the wall holding me by the neck, my feet dangling in the air.

My head collided with the wall and I could feel the blood flow down my neck. I manage to open my eyes as I gasped for breath. I didn't know what it was but it had the shape of a deformed human obviously way talked and completely black it had no face, no eyes or nose but it had a mouth with long teeth dripping with venom and sharp claws that was digging into my neck.

My vision had black spots in them and I felt Light headed due to not being able to breathe. I felt like I was about to loose conscious when the hold on my neck was released and I fell to the floor, greedily taking huge gulps of air. I looked up and saw Nico standings infront of me.

With one last breath I stood up ignoring the protest of my limbs and stood next to Nico. Voldemort and the Death Eaters were off to the side by wall, keeping out of the way.

" What is that thing. " I whispered to Nico.

" I have no idea. " came his calm report.

" That's a huge help." I sarcastically replied .

He shot me a look from the corner of his eye and that thing roared at us obviously angry at whatever Nico had done to it.

" Were screwed. " I whispered.

" Definitely. " Nico agreed.

It charged and Nico did as well, he manages to dodge several hits and slash the creatures arm off.

It grew back. OK so cutting off not such a good idea.

The creature was definitely pissed, with a mighty roar it swung it's arm out and hit Nico square in the chest he crashes against the wall with a sickening crack.

I gestured for the death eaters to go to him as the creature focused on my. I calmly walked forward till he was not far from me. He charged and I turned and ran straight up the wall and flipped over the creature. The thing crashed into the wall with a thud but got up once again.

I slowly formed a sword in my hand made of ice and the creature got it's own sword. And we attacked. If it was me thing I knew how to fight with it was swords.

He was a great fighter but like all great fighters they had weaknesses. When I got am opening to his chest I did not hesitate to plan my sword forward straight where his heart is meant to be and let ice cover his body. When his body was covered by the ice I pulled my sword out and the creatures body crumbled into ice on the floor .

It was then I noticed a pain in my hip and looked down. One of the creature claw marks were impaled into my hip . I curled my fingers around the castle and with a sharp tug I pulled it out, hissing t the pain and the blood that poured out of the wound.

It hurt but ignored it for know and limped my way toward Nico. Who was know conscious but sickly pale .

" You owe me five gallons " was all I managed to get out before I passed out from blood loss.

The last thing I remembered was a pair f arms catching me before I hit the ground and concerned crimson eyes.
