Raven's POV:

I couldn't help the big smile that was perminately plastered on my face. It was a perfect echo of the smile of the boy I was staring lovingly at. I couldn't believe it. I, goth girl Raven Madison, indeed have a boyfriend. And not just any boyfriend. He was the most popular guy in school. I had somehow been enough to cause him to totally risk not only his popularity but his own life. He was mine somehow. Trevor Mitchell was mine and mine alone.

I shivered and sat up from the freezing snow we were both laying in. We got up and made our way from the park to my place where there was a sure promise of hot chocolate and smores. We laced our fingers together in a subconcious and affectionate gesture as we made our way inside the house. I felt so alive when I was with Trevor. It was a wonderful change not to always think of the darkness of death or have my parents mad at me when I stayed out too late when I was with Alexander.

My parents adored Trevor. He was everything they wanted for me in a guy. Strong, dashingly handsome, athletic, chivalrous. I could show up out of the blue, pregnant with Trevor's baby, and as long as I married him, my parents would be thrilled to death.

I smiled when my mom rushed from the kitchen in one of her Pampered Chef aprons holding a silver tray of smores she had baked in the toaster oven to make them all warm and gooey. "Hey kids. Warm up by the fire and munch on these. I'll make hot chocolate as soon as the kettle boils. I've got good news Raven." She gushed while I sat cross legged next to Trevor by the fire.

"Ya?" I said after I had consumed an entire smore sandwhich in less then ten seconds which was nothing compared to the fact Trevor was already on his third one.

"Aunt Libby just called to tell me she'd be visiting us."

"I thought she said her beetle couldn't make it here in the snow."

"She's getting a ride up here with a friend. Ella something."

"Oh! She's the one that fixed me up for Trevor's family's company party."

"I know. I got copies of all the pictures Aunt Libby took of you and of you and Trevor." She motioned to the long line of them in gilded frames lining the mantle. "I'd like to fix you up like that for your senior prom. It's in a few months."

"When will Aunt Libby be here?" I asked, changing the subject from the idea of going through another four hours pretending I was someone's barbie doll. Ella was fierce in her determination to make me look like a beauty queen.

"In a half hour. I thought it would be nice if we all had a family dinner a the Cricket Club. And of course, Trevor is invited as long as it's alright with his parents."

"I'm sure it will be." Trevor smiled politely. When my mom was out of site and earshot, he made a funny face at me. "Your mom is nice."

"She's totally in love with you. I might have to beat her off you with a stick." That was our joke we made to explain why mom's mothering skills took full affect when Trevor was around and why she always made an extra effort to look nice when she knew she'd be around him.

We laughed hysterically until dad came in. He was just as happy as mom about me dating Trevor but he was slightly more sane about it. He didn't like leaving me alone with Trevor for too long in fear we'd start making out on his living room floor. Mom might be happy to the point I could get away with anything but dad had enough level headedness to share with everyone.

"Aunt Libby says she'll be here in fifteen minutes. Raven. Why don't you and Trevor make sure everything is all fixed up in the guest room." Mom asked us. "Then could you both run out and get me everything on this grocery list."

It was a list of all healthy stuff to keep my veggie loving aunt happy. After I did a final survey of the guest room (that looked like a five star hotel suite with a twin bed for Aunt Libby and a twin bed for Ella) Trevor and I began to walk the two blocks to the grocery store. On the way there, we noticed a few of Trevor's friends (now my friends too) from school. They had really come to accept me since I started favoring red instead of black and began dating Trevor.

We waved and ran inside the store to warm up. It seemed like everyone was here trying to get the Christmas clearance stuff. Today was December 26th. I had gotten a ton of new clothes and jewelry to fit my new color selection and they even suprised me with a moped. It was cherry red with black leather and it had a bat painted on it. I had spent a lot of time practicing with it on the ice at the giant mall parking lot but I'd wait to ride it places when the ice and snow cleared up. It took only ten minutes to find everything on the list and check out. Trevor even purchased three rose buquets for my aunt, Ella, mom, and me.

I carried all the flowers while he lugged the bags. "Are you sure those aren't too heavy?" I asked again, really concerned with the way he way leaning to one side.

"I'm fine. I'm not that weak." He gave me a sly smile.

"Sure sure. Keep telling yourself that." When we made it back, Aunt Libby and Ella were talking with mom and dad.

Mom took the groceries while hugs and flower buquets were passed around to all the females in the house. "Well thank you Trevor. You're such a gentleman." Mom gushed.

Ella laughed the evening away with everyone and made loads of funny and entertaining conversation when we went out to dinner about her trips to many places and the people she met. She even paid for everyone's dessert. As happy as she seemed, I could tell something was seriously off by the way she kept glancing at me and eyeing Trevor. I wouldn't have been worried about loosing Trevor to a tall blond if it weren't for the fact Ella was only nineteen years old and had a very young, beautiful face.

Ella, unlike Aunt Libby, was the farthest thing from a vegetarian. She had ordered a t-bone steak, medium rare with a side of shrimp and ate it slowly, but looked like she'd rather eat it with her hands like an animal. Her behavior was odd and I almost wished Aunt Libby had come here alone instead. Billy boy had brought along Henry and both were ogling Ella. I almost laughed and made a specticle of them but settled for giving them both a warning look saying I wasn't above telling Ella about their crush.

Something in me told me it would be very bad for my family to get close to Ella. After dessert, while we waited for the waiter to bring the check, I excused myself to the bathroom. Ella stood too and picked up her purse. "Me as well. I must, how us girls say, powder my nose."

Billy shot up and along with Henry. "I need to go to the bathroom too before I powder my nose in my pants." They darted for the men's bathroom while we made our way slowly towards the ladies room. Was it a good thing to be left alone with Ella? I wasn't sure.

After I used the bathroom, I noticed that Ella wasn't kidding about powdering her nose. She just stood in front of the mirror dabbing a makeup brush to the tip and sides of her nose before putting it all away in her purse. She smiled politely and started smoothing her hair while I washed and dried my hands.

"So...Trevor seems nice."

I smiled politely. "He is."

"You've been dating for..."

"Four months today." Smiled with the slightest hint of a warning to it. "Why do you ask?" I said casually while I started re-applying the red lipstick that had began to fade and she put on more blush.

"No reason. As I said. He seems sweet. Cute too. You're lucky. I havn't met a guy I really liked like that since...well, since Alexander."

I almost put the lid on my lipstick without rolling it down at the mention of Alexander, my ex boyfriend. I was careful to put the lipstick up currectly and set it in my purse before replying to Ella's comment. "I-I thought you told me you were just Alexander's friend."

"I was sadly. That's all. I really did like him but when he told me he was engaged to Luna, I went a little balistic. It's why I left for America. It was depressing. He did tell you about Luna right?"

"Yes. I know all about the situation with Luna. I guess you could say it's the reason we split up." I clenched my teeth together and tried to calm myself down with some deep breaths before I dared to leave the ladies room.

"Curious question. Does Trevor have an older brother?"

"No. He's an only child." I said right away.

She nodded, looking like she was seriously contemplating something. "Do you ever miss Alexander Raven?"

I froze before I could make an effort to move away from the mirror. I stared at my reflexion with stranged, hate-filled eyes. "No." I said blackly. "I don't. I don't think I ever did."

My reaction startled her. "What happened that made you so angry with him? Sometimes love chooses us. Luna is obviously ment for him. I thought you accepted that."

"I do. It doesn't matter. I want nothing to do with him." I stomped to the ladies room door and practically jogged to the table where everyone was standing up and putting back on their coats. "Is it time to leave?"

"Yes." Trevor put on my coat for me while Ella put on hers, staring coldly as Trevor put his arm around me before we walked into the brisk cold. We had to ride in two cars just to get everyone there. Mom and dad drove their car while Henry and Billy boy rode with Aunt Libby and Ella 'graciously' offered to ride in our car.

I got in the front with Trevor and Ella sat in the back, looking boiling mad. When we were on the main road, heading to my place, Ella began conversation. "I just love this car Trevor. It's a Mercedes Binz am I right?"

"Ya." He smiled politely.

"When did you get it. It looks brand new."

"I try to keep it looking nice. I got it during my sophmore year of high school."

He was so modest. "Stop being humble." I laughed and continued for him. "He won it in an achedemic contest for having the best grades at our high school."

"I remember high school." Ella smiled like she was remembering a secret while she stretched out her legs along the lengh of the back seats. I was angry to see it had distracted Trevor, if only for an instant. "I was a cheerleader you know."

"Really? What were the school colors in Romania?" Trevor looked like he was enjoying the conversation a little too much.

"Charcoal black and candy apple red." She smiled seductively as we all pulled into the driveway of my place.

We all got out of the cars and headed inside for conversation. Trevor and I were planning on going to a teen hangout that just opened in Dullsville called Trend Setter. I thought it sounded stupid but Becky and Matt would be there and I agreed to go with Trevor. Before we could safely leave, mom stopped us.

"Maybe Ella should go with you." She offered.

Aunt Libby liked the idea too. "She's so mature sometimes I forget she's only nineteen and not my age. Go ahead Ella. Have fun."

"If you guys are okay with it." She shrugged and started heading for the car before either of us responded. I managed to causually make it to the car before her and claim the front seat. She didn't seem to mind. She just stretched out her legs like earlier and fiddled with the sequins on her black dress. I felt plain dressing only in a jean skirt and a dressy red blouse but Trevor seemed to perfer staring at me over her. I was glad I chose to wear red stilletoes. They really do make your legs look longer.

When we pulled up to the teen club, I noticed there was a bouncer checking i.d.'s. This time, making sure no one over nineteen got in. It made me laugh at the idea of someone making a fake i.d. to look younger. I noticed a lot of people from school making their way in. We got in line and came to the front, presenting our i.d.'s. He gave Ella a look but let us in. Ella did look older than she was but still managed to look young at the same time.

It was like a neon light club. Everyone was dancing to a song by Fall Out Boy when we came in. I started to feel out of place and overdressed looking at everyone in jeans. I took comfort in the fact Ella was twice as dressed up as me. Trevor, being nearly six feet tall, towered over both Ella and myself and accidently hit a paper lantern that was strung up above out heads a little too low. I laughed and Ella giggled like a flirty tart.

A song called Chop and Change started playing and Ella squeeled like she was still in high school and started edging towards the dance floor. "I love this song! Raven. Do you mind if I dance with your date?"

Um...YEEEEESSSSS! "No. Go ahead." Trevor looked confussed as she dragged him to the dance floor and Becky ran up to me.

"There you are Raven. Isn't this place awesome? Anything like the Coffin Club?"

"Not quite but yes this place is great. She, however, is not."

"Who?"

"Ella. The tall blond dancing with Trevor."

"I thought Trevor was your boyfriend."

"He is." I went through the whole story from the moment Ella showed up with Aunt Libby till now. I still felt so cheesed off even after venting. "I can't stand her! I mean, who does she think she is trying to steal my boyfriend?"

I nearly choked when I saw Ella spin around and started trying to dirty dance with him. That's it! I walked right up to them and hip butted Ella away from him and pressed up against him the way she did. He was a whole lot more willing when he saw me. "Hey beautiful. Someone get jellous?"

"You know I did." I wrapped one leg around Trevor's waist and kissed him like our lives depended on it. I barely heard the click of Ella's heals before she pushed Trevor away and back handed me.

That did it! I put all my effort into a big smack that caused Ella's face to instantly bruise. Mom was gonna kill me for this but she also raised me to fight for what I believed in. And I believed that this blond was gonna die if she touched my man one more time. It was caotic. She grabbed onto my shoulders and started digging her nails in and keep me at bay at the same time while I pulled her hair so hard, the sides of her face turned beat red in pain and anger.

We heard someone blow a whisle and we were pulled apart. Trevor grabbed me and a random stranger grabbed Ella. Someone came on stage and started yelling in the microphone. "Alright!" The whole room went deathly silent. "Who threw the first punch?" The guy was burly and bald with a tattoo of a snake on his arm. He scared me to death.

Thankfully Ella threw the first punch, well, slap. Ella looked at me like I should raise my hand until Trevor told the guy holding her to make her raise her hand. Ella fought it at first but eventually kept her hand raised. "What's your name?" The scary guy yelled.

"Ella."

"Ella what?"

"Ella-Sterling."

Everyone stared at her in shock. Including me. "Wait!" I yelled and everyone looked at me."Are you telling me you're related to Alexander?"

Everyone stared at her, waiting for her reaction. After a long while, she replied. "Yes. I'm Alexander's second cousin."

"But you told me at the Cricket Club that you had a crush on him! That's just gross!"

"It's not like that!" She said defensively while everyone stared saying 'ew' at the same time.

The man on the stage blew the whistle and everyone shut up again. "Okay! That's just gross. Ella Sterling. Since you started the fight, I'm banning you from the club for a month." He looked at me and I nearly jumped. "And what's your name?"

"Raven Madison."

"Well Raven Madison. No one was really paying attention so no one can say you really fought with her. We'll have to call it self defence because we have yet to put security tapes in here. I'm going to just ask that you leave the club for the night to prevent any more fights with anyone else."

Trevor took his arms out of their restraining stance and wrapped them around me in affectionate protection. Trevor, Ella, and I made it out of the club and to the car. Trevor and I got in the front and Ella sulked in the back the whole ride home, not bothering to flirt with Trevor or anything. When we came inside, everyone looked startled and began to freak out. "What happened?"

I looked at Ella for help with what our story was but she continued to stare at me with dagger eyes and pout.

I looked at everyone's worried faces and decided the best excuse was the truth. "Ella and I got into a fight."

"Why?" All the adults yelled at once.

Ella sighed and looked at me with eyes that screamed 'Go ahead. Rat me out to everyone. I'll hate you forever and not tell you about the whole story behind me being related.'

I'd have to get it out of her some other way. I already started the truth. Might as well finish it. "Um, Ella was flirting with Trevor."

"So you guys got into a cat fight over that?" Mom yelled. "Who started the fight?"

"Ella did. Suprisingly." I said right away.

Everyone gave her strange looks. Ella would be in for it about starting a fight with a high school student when she was a guest in someone else's house. Mom looked at everyone quickly, trying to decide how to handle this. "Raven, say goodnight to Trevor. We need to talk this out."

"He's a witness. Don't you think it's valueable for him to be here."

She thought that over. "You're right. Ella, Raven, Trevor, sit on the couch."

I didn't know why I was in trouble. It was 'self defence'. Trevor looked scared to death as he sat by me and Ella sat on his other side. I tried to judge the atmosphere. From what I could tell, we were in deep trouble.
