My first Vampire Kisses Fanfiction. I'm so excited. I had a kind of idea from when Alexander leaves for Hipsterville without even telling Raven. I thought during that, what if Raven decided not to go after him? Then when I read Royal Blood and Alexander was with his parents and couldn't even be bothered to send Raven a letter of when he'd see her again I thought a lot about alternatives that could happen. So that idea festered and grew and somehow we got this. Now this is an AlexanderXRaven story that will have Romance in it. I am a hopless romantic so Alexander and Raven will be toghther, if your looking for one with the two of them not toghther your in the wrong place.

Raven grew up a lot which being a parent your-I'm guessing since I just turened seventeen-going to have to grow up. So she's very patenit and doesn't lose her temper, but when she does...run. Don't walk, run as fast as you can away from her.

I haven't read the newest book but Alexander never really explains all of vampirism to Raven so I'm coming up with my own.

They can grow older, there born vampires, they can't go into the sun, see there reflection, go near crosses, turn into a bat, and they arn't much a fan of garlic, and they drink blood, but they need more than just blood to survive. Think of Vampires=blood as Humans=water. So basiclly there people who burn very easly, don't like seeing there reflection, are anti-religious, allergic to garlic, and can get from place to place very fast.

Also this was Beta'd by EverdayTwilight

In a dark room a young girl of newly seventeen sat on her black bed had pale ivory skin, silky black hair, and her nails were expertly painted black. She was wearing a flattering black dress that came down to her knees and elbows that were ripped expertly and loose and she wore spider web tights along with slightly heeled boots that came to her ankles. She wore a necklace that had a bat charm and faux rubies for eyes. She was most defiantly beautiful, if anyone could ignore her face of pain and the eyeliner that is streaming down her face from her tears.

Her name is Raven Madison, today is her seventeenth birthday. It should be a happy occasion, unfortunately it isn't.

The one she gave her heart to, Alexander Sterling, was no where to be found. All she had was a letter from him, a non-offensive deep red envelop. Inside the seemingly innocent envelop is a letter that tore this young girls world apart. A letter from Alexander.

Raven,

I'm sorry, I choose to go back to Romania. Forgive me.

Alexander.

He lacked the decency to even tell her to her face! Raven wished to be mad but she was too heartbroken to do so. She was glad that it was only a letter, though she'd never admit it to herself, with the letter she didn't have to hold in her tears. The letter wouldn't feel bad for her.

Before the letter had arrived everything had been fantastic. Raven's birthday party had been great. The room was decorated by her father with bats, skeletons, and morbid creatures of the night. Instead of a birthday cake, her mother had made two dozen cupcakes using a few Zombie Cupcake Kits. Her younger brother, Billy Boy, had used a laptop plugged into the music player to play several songs by some of Raven's favorite bands-My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, Within Temptation, Black Veiled Brides, Evanescence just to name a few. Her best friend, Becky, had come with her boyfriend, Matt, unfortunately her nemesis, Soccer Snob Trevor, was on the same team as Matt and invited himself, but he had been almost pleasant. Raven was sitting around with everyone talking, Becky was wearing the outfit Raven gave her to go see the drive-threw's showing of Vampire Kisses, Matt was likewise wearing the same thing he wore to see Vampire Kisses. Trevor had found a plain black shirt, same as Billy Boy, and Raven's parents. They were in the middle of drinking "Witch's Brew" which was in fact lemonade. When the worst thing that Raven could never imagine happened.

Becky had found a plain red envelop that said Raven's name, she realized it was a letter from Alexander and gave it to Raven. It was a letter from Alexander, but not one that Raven ever wanted to see. Raven read the letter over and over again sure that she was misreading it, it stayed the same, by that time Becky read it over her shoulder and gasped. Becky's gasp brought it all to Raven, this was real. Alexander had left.

Raven had run up to her bedroom and locked the door before crying her eyes out on her bed. Becky had told Matt to tell her parents before running up to comfort Raven, Raven didn't open the door even for her. Raven did say through the door for Becky to go enjoy herself, she was fine. It was obviously a lie, but Becky knew her friend just wanted to be alone.
Raven sat for awhile and had a bit of an epiphany. Alexander never loved her. Why hadn't she seen it before? He never actually said the words or even anything to hint at them, he left before and she went and got him. If she hadn't gone to Hipsterville would he have ever come back? Probably not, that's why he must of left a letter, so she wouldn't follow. Raven felt tears going down her cheeks again from embarrassment. Fine, if that's what he wants, she'll never bother him again. And that is the point Raven vowed never to go near the mansion again.

Raven got up and wiped her tears away with her blanket. She would get over Alexander, it would take awhile. She knew that broken hearts don't heal overnight, but she would do it. For the rest of Junior year and all of Senior year she applied herself in school, getting straight A's, and also freaking out the whole school staff. She got a job at the nail salon she got her nails painted for the prom and her and Jane worked side by side, after awhile everyone said she did a fantastic job on her nails. After they got over the fear she'd purposely paint them black, some even had there nails painted black every now and then. Becky, Raven, and Matt would go out to the diner every Saturday to have lunch and sometimes even Trevor would tag along. He tried to bait Raven a few times but she just laughed off whenever he'd try to get a fight between them. And over time they became sort-of friends, and Monster Girl and Soccer Snob became terms of endearment.

After graduation they all went there separate ways. Trevor went to a college where he got a soccer scholarship. It was about a three day trip from Dullesville, Becky stayed to help on her parents farm and Matt worked there too. Only Raven knew but they were planning to get married, in a few years, and Becky insisted Raven be her Maid Of Honor, which Raven whole heartedly agreed, as long as Becky be hers when she got married. They agreed to Skype every Saturday and spend New Years together. Raven moved to Hipsterville and lived with her Aunt Libby who agreed for her to live there until Raven could afford a place of her own. Raven worked at Hot Gothics which was a place she could wear her normal style of dress and she also got a discount on the whole store. Along with that Raven was a part-time writer and wrote everything from poems to plays to stories to scripts. After a few months she moved out of Aunt Libby's place and into a two room one bath apartment.

Raven's Point Of View

I woke up to my Alice In Wonderland alarm going off, I quickly turned it off before getting dressed in a pair of black jeans and a dark purple long sleeve shirt with a raven on it. It's supposed to be for Edgar Allen Poe's poem of The Raven, but I was named after that and it's a duel purpose. I pulled on a Emily The Strange hat and scarf set and with my keys and wallet I headed out. I was only a few blocks from Hot Gothics and got there in plenty of time every day. I went in and put my scarf, hat, keys, and wallet in my locker before getting ready to relax until my shift began in ten minutes. Then I was pulled over to a corner by my friend and coworker, Summer.

"Raven, I…" She trailed off and I knew immediately something was bad, she never trailed off.

"Summer what's the matter?" I asked.

"I'm pregnant." She said and I looked back blankly. Summer pregnant?

"Congratulations." I said, I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"It's not a good thing Raven. I don't want to be a mother, but I can't have an abortion, those things are evil. I want to know do you know anyone who would
take care of this baby?" She asked and I thought about it.

Billy Boy is still a kid himself. Mom and Dad are done taking care of babies. Becky and Matt are ready to get married, not take care of a baby. Trevor is a epic no. Aunt Libby is an actress, she doesn't have time. That's everyone I know. Except me. I…I..could. I paused, I never thought I'd want to be a parent but I did. I wanted to hold a little innocent baby in my arms, I wanted to sing to it, to take it to the first day of school and hug it tight before I reluctantly let it go, I wanted to get it ready for prom. I wanted all of that.

"I will." I said, waiting to see if she would let me.

"You would? You'd be it's mother?" Summer asked and I nodded my head. "Thank you Raven. I'm only two months along but I'll tell you where all the day care's are and everything. But are you sure you want to do this Raven? Raising a child isn't cheap, and most guys won't want a single parent as a girlfriend, or to raise a child that isn't theirs."

"I've been only using the money I have to since I was seventeen, I've got enough. If need be I'll take a part time job to for the next seven months so I've got enough. And technically the child won't biologically be mine in the first place, and it's not like if we go on a date it'll be us going to a playpen or anything."

Summer nodded and hugged me. "Thank you Raven, you'll be a great mother to this baby." I nodded, I knew the story of how Summer got pregnant. She is a Christine and was saving herself for marriage, when she told her boyfriend no, he raped her. They caught him but Summer couldn't stand to raise his baby. So I will.

My family and friends were a little reluctant to agree this was a good idea but they did after awhile, seeing how hard I was working. After my shift was done I went and got a job at a coffee shop between Hot Gothics and my apartment. I work weekdays at Hot Gothics and weekends at the coffee shop called Roy's Coffee. For seven months, then on November first
Summer gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I named her Violet.

Violet has sparkling eyes that are almost purple and remind me of the color violet, from her father. She has Summer's black hair and pale skin. Me and Summer always laughed at how much we do look alike, it is kind of weird, Violet could pass off as my biological daughter. Because she'll always be my daughter. I know in all likeliness Violet won't grow up to be a Goth, so I enjoy dressing her as one now, while she's only a month old. I saved all my free and sick time up so I can leave to spend Christmas and New Years, with my family a week before Christmas and five days after New Years.

It was time for going to Dullsville. I dressed Violet in black pants, and a violet shirt. I put a thick black coat on her and mittens and a hat along with winter socks and shoes. I wanted to hurry a snow storm was said to be coming tomorrow. I put on a long black dress, snow boots and a trench coat before picking Violet and her Diaper Bag that was black with skulls on it. I had taken her crib apart and put it in a box. I took Violet from her black with red roses changing table to her matching car seat. Then I put a blanket I happened to find, that was black with pictures of violets adorning the blanket, over her.

Aunt Libby showed up with her boyfriend, Dan. Dan is an alright guy, he's a hippie actor and him and Aunt Libby make the perfect couple. He graved the box of Violets crib to put in the back of his Soul Van for us that was as stereotypical Hippie Van as you could get with tie-dye and a peace sign. Once Violet was secured I got in beside her in the back and Aunt Libby toke the passenger and Dan got in the drivers and we started to go to Dullesville. Dan wasn't on speaking terms with his family so he gladly went with us. Aunt Libby and Dan spent the drive talking to each other while I spent it making sure Violet wasn't too hot or cold and distracting her with her Scare Bear toy. We got to Dullesville in no time and Aunt Libby called the house and when we got to the house everyone ran out to hug us all.

Mom fawned over Violet while Dad got her crib. Billy Boy and Dan got our suitcases while Aunt Libby caught up with everyone. When I got in there was a girl here to. She had
brown shoes, white knee socks, a blue plaid skirt, a white button up shirt with sleeves that came to her elbows. She had glasses over her brown eyes, brown hair that was in two braids that had blue ribbon that matched her skirt. She was a fresh faced girl who held a book that said "Complete Works of Jane Austin."

Everyone came in and Billy Boy immediately began introduction. "Crystal, this is my Aunt Libby, her boyfriend Dan, my sister, Raven, and her daughter
Violet." Billy Boy said pointing to each of us in turn. "Everyone this is Crystal."

I smiled and nodded to her I was about to say hello when Violet started crying. I looked at the clock and saw it was two in the afternoon. She's hungry, her whole schedule is down like clockwork. At two in the morning she wants to be held, rocked, and sang to for half and hour, at three she needs a diaper change at seven she's hungry, at eight she needs a diaper change, at two she's hungry, at five diaper change, and at six she needs to be held for an hour and seven fed. I quickly grave a bottle I had already made and went to the microwave and heated it. Testing it on my arm I knew it wasn't too hot and gave it to Violet.

"Sorry about that, it's nice to meet you Crystal." I said as Violet ate.

"Nice to meet you to." After Violet was finished I took off her jacket and winter boots, and went to change her. My parents always kept their house at furnace level during the winter. And put her in a short sleeve purple top and a black dress over it with black shoes. I lightly kissed her head and handed her to mom so I could call Becky.

I punched in her number and she answered on the first ring.

"Hello?"

"Hey Becky, I'm at my parents place." I said without preamble.

"No way! I'll be right over. I can't wait to meet Violet!" I laughed before hanging up. In no time both Becky and Matt were here and they both cooed over Violet. After awhile they couldn't stay for dinner since they already were having dinner at Matt's house. And Billy Boy was having dinner at Crystal's house so in the end it was me, Mom, Dad, Aunt Libby, and Dan. We had
cheeseburgers and I fed Violet baby food that said chicken and corn, with bananas as desert. Afterwards we all sat around watching TV before I went in for an early night. I always call an early night since about two I'll be awake. I put Violet in a black pajama that said Baby Bat but before I could change into pajamas I heard my dad yell. "Raven! Visitor!" he sounded mad but I couldn't think of anything I did to make him mad. And this wasn't his normal mad, his voice sounded icy cold. He wasn't this mad even when I thought I lost his tennis racket.

I picked up Violet and headed down stairs and was shocked still when I rounded the corner of the stairs to the living room. There stood Alexander Sterling. Almost nothing had changed about him, he looked a bit older but mostly that was it. And that was the problem, he still was wearing the spider ring I gave him. I held Violet a little closer to me and resolved to be a grown up about this. We broke up two years ago, no need to be petty.

"Alexander, nice to see you. How have you been?" I said as calm as I could ever be.

"It's nice to see you to Raven, as beautiful as ever. I've been okay and you?" He asked staring at me.

"I've been good, kind of busy but just fine." Alexander's eyes flashed down to Violet when I said how I was busy and they stayed there. His eyes turning from deep chocolate brown to red. I felt Violet start to shake and began to stroke her hair and that broke him from his trance.

"I see." He said glaring at me, I ignored it. His opinion no longer matters to me. "Who's the lucky guy?" He asked pointing to Violet. Now that is rude, his words were nice enough, but he said it in a sneer that even as only a bit over a month old, Violet cowered into my chest. No one scares my daughter, not even a vampire.

"A rapist." I said and Alexander's eyes flew up to me in shock and horror. "I know someone who was raped and she got pregnant from it, she couldn't take care of her so I adopted her." I said simply.

"You know, children from rape are inheritably evil. They get it from there father. She should have been terminated long ago." He said so simply.

"ALEXANDER STERLING!" I yelled holding Violet close. "How dare you come here and even imply something like that about my daughter."

"She's not your daughter." He says as if that excused him.

"Just because I didn't give birth to her doesn't make her any less my daughter. I honestly thought you'd have more manners than that. Please leave, and hopefully never come back." I said glaring icily at him. He seemed to realize what he had said and looked shocked at himself. Violet was crying so I attempted to sooth her as my dad hauled him away and shut the door at his face.

What nerve he had. I only got a letter that we were breaking up as he went to another country. He didn't call, didn't write, didn't visit and now he does and calls my daughter evil.

I hope Alexander Sterling goes out into the sun.

I know right now it seems really weird of Alexander, but everything will make sense later. Now I know it seems like Alexander seems like and asshole but theres a reason. It'll come later. Just bear with me. All qustions will be answered...if I get reviews. No reviews, no updates. And I have anonimouse review so even if you don't have an account you can still review.
