Someone New to Love
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Ellen Schreiber's characters and am in no way affiliated with the Vampire Kisses Novels. I do however own Katsumi Morgan, a kickass chic who's only downfall is being Trevor's cousin.
This will be the only chapter in Raven's POV. It takes place after the 7th book because I like to start with a clean slate. The rest of the chapters will be in Katsumi's POV.
Raven's POV:
I stared unbelievably at Luna's neck and the blood trickling down her flawless neck. It happened so fast, one minute me having fun with my boyfriend and his best friend, the next wondering how to fix this. I could feel myself going numb about to pass out for the second time tonight. Just then the back door opening caught my attention.
"Mr. Mitchell I believe this young lady is asking for you." Jameson said as a very petite girl came down the back steps.
I took a second out of my chaos to take a closer look. It looked like everyone else was too. It seemed she had the attention of the whole party. The girl couldn't have stood much more than 5 foot. Her dark blond hair was curly in the way most girls curled their hair for special occasions. She had a very pale complexion. She had light eyes I couldn't quite make out the exact color from where I was standing but I could see she had done a nice smoky eye with her eye shadow. She had big pouty lips that were painted a crimson red. Her shirt was black lace with rose patterns on it and her red tank under barely covered her well endowed chest. She had a short dark denim skirt on that was torn at the bottom like it had been cut off with thigh high black combat boots. She looked awesome and I had no idea who she was.
"Kat, Is that you?" Trevor asked walking towards the girl at a fast pace then picked her up like a ragdoll to give her a hug. By the way he hugged her I could definitely tell she was not one of his dirty little secrets.
"No, didn't you know she had an evil twin…well evil-er…twin." She said in a very sarcastic tone once he had put her down.
"Ahhh Tak I had not planned on you too. I'll have to call Mom and tell her we are expecting another guest." Trevor said jokingly pulling out his phone and smiling from ear to ear. "How did you get here anyway I thought I was supposed to pick you up from the airport tomorrow? And more importantly how did you find me here at Sterling's place?"
"Well seeing as it is so important to answer your second question first…I have psychic powers." She answered keeping her sarcastic tone. She stared at him for a minute then with a little more serious tone. "I couldn't leave my car at home, so I decided to drive it here, then I got lost in town and I just happened to recognize your Camaro as I drove by…"
Trevor snickered "Yep that sounds more like it Kitty Kat." Then he bent down to whisper something into her ear that no one seemed to hear.
I took this moment to look back over at Sebastian and Luna. They were being led around the side of the house by Alexander and it seemed everyone's attention was still on Trevor and Kat. I looked around to find Jagger still next to me staring intensely at the newcomer. Scarlet was also staring at her in a not so friendly manner.
"Oh hey Matt, I didn't see you over there." Kat said looking around Trevor with a friendly smile. "How have you been?"
Matt smiled back, walked towards her and gave her a half hug that friends usually give each other. "I've been good. Hey I want you to meet my girlfriend." He looked around for Becky who started walking towards him. "This is my girlfriend Becky Miller, Becky this is Katsumi Morgan, Trevor's cousin. What are you doing in town?"
Her smile slowly vanished "Well I'm moving here, I'll be staying with Trevor and his family till I graduate."
Trevor put a comforting hand on her shoulder. It took me second to realize he really cared about her. "Yea, well we should be going. You can follow me home Kat." Trevor turned around and started going around the opposite side of the house that Alexander went around.
"Ok. Bye Matt it was nice seeing you again and it was nice to meet you Becky." She gave them both a small smile and briskly followed Trevor around front.
Just then it seemed like everyone was leaving. Scarlet and Onyx came up and gave me a hug. Onyx whispered in my ear "Awesome party! We have to get back though; don't want to be caught by the sun. Call us again soon." Then they followed the party crashers around the house. I heard murmurs of "Goodbyes" and "Great Party" as they moved around front.
Becky walked towards me and gave me huge hug. "This was awesome. Hey where did Luna and Sebastian go? And I can't believe that was Trevor's cousin, they are like polar opposites. What do you think?"
"Uh…" I didn't know what to say it was a miracle that Kat came in when she did. Alexander wouldn't have been able to sneak our little V's to the front if she hadn't come out the back door when she did. "Well I think Luna and Sebastian went to go get some privacy. As for Trevor's cousin I can't believe it, she actually looked cool."
"Yea, Matt says she's really nice too. She usually spends a week or two here in the summer so Trevor and she can hang out. They are actually pretty close. That really surprises me, but I guess since he's not trying to get into her pants he treats her differently." Becky added. "Matt seems thinks that something happened to her grandparents, they had custody over her. So do you need help cleaning up back here?"
I looked around at the pop cans and paper napkins. "No, you go on with Matt. I'm sure Jameson and I can handle it."
Becky nodded and gave me one last hug before following her boyfriend. I loved my best friend but I just wanted everyone gone so I could find my boyfriend and cool down from tonight.
Jameson came out the back door looking very relieved as he watched everyone go around the corner. He had a huge black trash bag in his hand and started picking up the left over cans and napkins and few bags of chips here and there. He smiled at me as I walked over to help him.
"Alexander is in the house with Luna and Sebastian. He'll be out in just a moment." Jameson stated just as I bent to pick up the trash closest to me.
"I don't think anyone thought much of the…kiss. Especially after Trevor's cousin got here." I said tossing a few cans into the bag.
Jameson gave a sigh of relief. "Yes, she was very pleasant."
I was just about to ask him what she was like when some ones arms snaked their way around my midsection. I turned to find my hottie boyfriend smiling down at me. He gave me a quick peck on the lips.
"I know tonight didn't go as we expected but I suppose it could have turned out a lot worse." He squeezed my midsection and gave me another kiss on the lips, this one more lingering. He reluctantly let me go and started putting more trash into the bag.
We finished in silence. When we were done we walked up the stairs to the back door. Jameson opened the back door. We strolled through the house to the front room where I saw Sebastian carrying some stuff out the front door. I gazed up at Alexander to find a sad expression on his face. He grabbed my hand and held it tight. We watched quietly together as his best friend finished putting the last of his belongings into the trunk of his vintage mustang.
He walked back into the house and stood awkwardly with his hands in his pockets waiting to say his goodbye. "I know I messed up bad, but I really do love her. I don't think I was cut out for small town life anyway. I hope you can both forgive me."
I was the first to let go and walk up to give him a hug. He took his hands out of his pockets to give me a bigger hug back. When I stepped back I could see surprise written all over his face. "No harm done. I think we got out lucky on this one. Where are you going anyway?"
"I think I'll move to The Coffin Club with Luna and Jagger for now. That way I won't have to worry about giving vampires away to the town."
I didn't know what to say. He was right on one hand he wasn't cut out for Dullsville. On the other hand I didn't want him living with Luna or Jagger and I knew that Alexander really wanted him to stay. I guess you can say I had some mixed feeling about this, but there wasn't any way to fix it right now. I gave him one last hug goodbye and took a step back so Alexander could say a proper goodbye to his best friend.
Alexander just stood there. I could see the mixed emotions in his eyes. He finally moved in for a man hug. I could tell he was going to miss his friend, but he like me couldn't think of one thing to stop it.
Sebastian smiled at his friend in a way to say that he would be just find and walked out the front door. When the door opened a bit wider I could clearly see Luna and Jagger standing next to the car. Luna gave me an evil grin while Jagger's mind seemed to be in some far away land. Luna opened the door to get in and Jagger snapped out of it.
He looked at me and smiled "Be seeing you…" Then he also got into the car. The black mustang took off down the drive and through the gate.
I glanced back up at my perfect boyfriend. "It's really late I should take you home." He said walking out the front door. I silently followed him out to the car.
The entire way home I couldn't think of one way to fix this. It was breaking my heart to see Alexander so sad. He stopped in front of my house and pulled me closer to him and gave me a kiss that made my hairs stand up on end. "I'll be just fine Raven. I still have you remember." He smiled warmly at me.
"You'll always have me." I said and gave him another passionate kiss.
