Marked, Chapter 7

Marked
Chapter 7

'Kay, I'm back now. Parts of this chapter made me twitch, so.

Neferet and Zoey leave the infirmary and Neferet explains some of the basics of living at the House of Night. Classes run from 8:00 p.m. to 3:30 a.m.; teachers are available for an extra 30 minutes if any students need help. Eventually vampi-er, vampyres are able to develop a timesense-like a watch. That could be useful.

Neferet also mentions her gifts-she has a strong affinity for cats and a healing ability, which was why she knew Zoey was healing so well. They're pretty much why Neferet's the High Priestess. And cats are the ones who choose their people, not the other way around. (Happens a lot in RL too, not just with cats. Sometimes animals *know* who's a good match for them.) Cats apparently have been associated with vampyres in this series for a long time. (I still want to type vampire, not vampyre.)

Let's see... Neferet gets called back to the infirmary to deal with a student and her broken leg so Zoey has to go on alone. She stumbles upon a couple in a quiet alcove and the girl's about to give the guy a blowjob, in spite of the guy not wanting it. Zoey's nearly discovered and she runs, then gives a rant about how giving blowjobs is demeaning and "it's not cool to be used like that" RE: the girls who give do such things. Uh... what? IF both parties are willing it's not being used or demeaning. Duh. Honestly? She probably should've been more upset over the guy-he clearly told the girl he didn't want it and kept pushing her away.

SO. Neferet catches up with Zoey and does something for Zoey's new headache. Then they leave for Zoey's new room. On the way there they walk into a large courtyard-which fronts the school. A statue of Nyx helps decorate the courtyard. The other people in said courtyard are really interested in Zoey's filled in Mark and she thinks she's starting her new year here well-she's an anomaly.

Aaaaaaaand that's where this chapter ends. And this recap so far.
