Tourniquet
Chapter one
Soft orange rays of sunlight began to shine through a crack in black curtains and into a very dark bedroom. The occupant of the room jumped harshly at the feel of the harsh of the scorching morning sun on her pale sensitive skin. Angered by the rude awakening, said girl rolled to the left of side of her bed away from the sunlight and over to the curtains. Careful not to let the light touch her, she slid them fully closed. Hazy violet eyes looked around her bedroom to the batty digital alarm clock sitting on her dark grey dresser to the right of her bed. Though she knew it was early she wanted to know how early."4:15" Raven sighed, she just went to bed three hours ago it seemed she would never get the vampire sleeping times down completely. Slowly she made her way back over to bed and sat down on silk black sheets. Brushing her hand over a spot over her neck raven winced remembering the pain those once deep wounds brought her. Gliding across her bed room floor and hallway to the bathroom with such grace that she hadn't had while she was human, Raven began her wash process. Though she wouldn't be leaving her home soon she knew her brother Billy would be coming over. He always did ever since she got her apartment nine months ago. Raven was now 19 and living on her own with her pet ferret chichi that was no bigger than a squirrel. She had gotten him from the animal adoption center, who was thinking of putting him down because he was born a runt. Stripping off her clothes Raven stepped into the shower and began to lather up with her passion fruit scented body wash and shampoo combo. Relaxing under the hot spray she couldn't help but allow memories of the past three years ago to over whelm her.
Three years ago is when everything in her life shifted and changed dramatically, she went from a happy open minded Goth who was head over heels in love with her boyfriend and awesome friends, to a heartbroken passive confused Goth with no true friends. One day after Alexander received a mysterious letter he began to act cold and uptight towards her. He never had time to spend with her and tried to keep her in the dark as much as possible, never let her read the letter. He also instructed Jameson to stop allowing her into the mansion as often, Confused and saddened by this behavior raven turned to her friends , the group she had met through alexander and at the crypt, but all of them avoided her giving her brush offs and cold shoulders. There was one time when, Raven, fed up with all the strange behavior, entered the crypt to talk to stormy. All of them were sitting at a table talking, and when she began to approach them they all turned around at once and gave her harsh dirty looks. She left without a word. The following day she went to the mansion and demanded to see alexander, but when he came down to speak with her he told her he was going back to Romania for Luna and for her to stop being a nuisance. Within hours after that he was gone along with the rest of the group and she was left devastated.
