Hi, even though most people probably hate this story, I really do have good ideas for it so I am going to continue it.

I don't own Twilight or Vampire Kisses sadly.

APOV

My eyes glanced at the beautiful girl I was painting. Her raven colored hair in a side fringe, spiked slightly, the rest of it falling gently down her back. Her heart pounded in her chest in a soft beat, kind of like a lullaby.

I noticed recently that Raven was acting kind of distant and deep in thought a lot of the time. I was starting to get worried, was there someone else? I pray there isn't, I don't know what I would do without my sweet Raven.

Hearing a sigh come from Raven, I look back at her and smile.

"Am I boring you? I'm sorry," I said with a grin. She shook her head, making her hair flop around slightly at the movement and gave me the chance to see her smile that could light up my entire attic room.

"Naw, you aren't boring me. I'm actually quite entertained," she said, with a giggle or two. I rolled my eyes, looking back at the painting. It was almost done, just needs a few more touch ups to her dress then it will be good to go. I smiled again at her.

I noticed that she didn't look uncomfortable, actually she looked like she didn't care about standing in one spot in the same position for about two hours. Usually humans get restless about standing up for so long and start to wine. But not Raven, no she's different.

"Oh really? That's good. You don't look uncomfortable, just deep in thought," I said with a slight frown. She was always so deep in thought. Looking back at the painting, I noticed that it was finished. I rolled my eyes and smiled at the painting. It turned out great!

Putting down my paint brush, I heard Raven's cell beep, her alarm going off. It was time for her to go home. I frowned. I know it's selfish but I want to keep her all to myself. Raven sighed and shut off the alarm. She looked at me, seeing my sad expression and kissed my cheek. That cheered me up slightly.

"I'll be back soon, love. You won't even miss me," she whispered in my ear. I smiled. Of course I am going to miss her but she does know how to cheer me up as quick as possible. I nodded.

Pressing my lips to hers, I gave her a passionate kiss. My hands tangled in her hair, pulling her closer, her hands doing the same. We continued to kiss until it was time for her to go. When we broke apart we were breathing heavily.

Grabbing her hand, I led her down the attic stairs, the main stair case and to the front door. I held her hand tightly in mine, I pulled her into me. She wrapped her soft, warm arms around me. I felt a bit coldness coming from her arms and shrugged mentally, dismissing the thought.

"I'll be counting down the seconds till I see you, my sweet Raven," I whispered, kissing her head. Inhaling her sweet, yummy scent as well. I sound like a freaky stalker right now don't I? Eh, oh well. I noticed her lips curl into a smile.

"And I will be doing the same," she murmured quietly. I smiled.

After one last kiss, I reluctantly let her leave. She walked out of the front door and hopped onto her bike. I rolled my eyes and watched her pedal off. Staying at the door till she was out of my eyesight, I watched her carefully. I couldn't help but wonder why she was so distant.

No! I won't think about that anymore tonight. I only want to think about my Raven. Shutting the door, I headed off to the kitchen to talk to Jameson. He was the only one that I could talk to about this, basically because he was the only one in the house at the moment.

"Jameson, have you noticed that Raven has been... distant lately?" I asked him as I helped dry the freshly clean dishes. Jameson looked at me with his beady eyes.

"I'm sure there is a reason Master Alexander. She will tell you when she is ready, then you will tell me," Jameson said with a grin. I rolled my eyes and chuckled.

"Please old man, you'll just be listening in on the intercom won't you?" I said as I pointed to the white box with buttons installed into the wall. He nodded.

"Of course, every butler needs one," he said in response. I rolled my eyes.

We continued to talk for about a few minutes about food. That got me hungry and I nibbled on a very rare steak. Finally my nerves about Raven got to me.

"Do you think Raven is okay? I mean, do you think she got home safe and sound?" I asked him, picking at the steak I was eating with a fingernail. Jameson looked up at me and sighed.

"Don't worry Master Alexander. I'm sure Miss Raven is at home safe and sound," he replied calmly. I nodded and sighed. Looking out the window, I noticed a pair of golden eyes staring at the house. I shook my head. Maybe it was an animal with freaky cool eyes.

"I can't help it Jameson, whenever she leaves my sight, I worry. She acts differently around me now and I want to know why!" I said as I slammed my hand against the marble counter. I want to know real badly.

Suddenly there was a sound outside. The sound of a twig snapping. Jameson and I turned silent and after a few minutes, I whispered.

"Did you hear that, Jameson?" I asked him. He nodded and walked over to the windows. He looked out the left one.

"Yes sir. But I'm sure its just a wild animal," he replied. I shook my head. I wanted to be careful.

"Well, I'm going to go check. If it's a vampire making an appearance, then I want to make sure Raven is safe," I said as I walked to the front door. Opening it, I saw a small, female figure running at true vampire speed from the mansion. My jaw clenched. She was headed toward Raven's house, near the woods.

I wasn't having that. Shifting to a bat, I took off into the sky. Up here, you can see everything. Looking over at Raven's house to make sure everything is alright, I noticed that Raven's light was out. She was be sleeping. I smiled mentally, good. I saw the female running through the woods.

Landing, I shifted to my normal vampire form. I started to walk forward, till I heard a weak whimper somewhere near me. Looking around, I saw a small baby fox with black fur and brown eyes. I walked closer, trying not to frighten the little thing. However, it didn't even make a move to run, it just watched me.

I watched as the fox stood on shaky legs and walked closer to me. I kneeled down to get a better look at the fox but saw nothing wrong with her. She must be very young. Reaching out to pet her head, I spoke quietly to her.

"Hello there little girl. What are you doin' out here all alone?" I asked. Her ears flattened and I felt a soft tongue against my hand. She licked me! I chuckled once because her tongue tickled and she got closer to me till my face in front of hers. Placing her tiny paws on my chest, the little fox licked my nose and I chuckled again.

The fox reminded me of Raven. Raven is a very devoted animal lover. My moment between a small fox was ruined by the sound of something big crashing through the forest. Looking up, I saw the outline of a grizzly bear. Pushing the fox behind me gently so it won't get hurt, I took a defensive stance. I heard a terrifying growl come from below and looked at the fox. She is so small, how can she make a sound like that?

After a split second, the fox I was playing with not just a minute ago launched itself at the bear. I gasped. I didn't want it to get hurt for some reason. I watched as the body of a fox was changed into a body of a teenage girl. Looking closer, I saw that the teenage girl had spiked up hair slightly with an awesome side fringe that looked exactly like Raven's.

Then reality crashed down on me. That is Raven! I watched in horror as the bear swiped its claws down her arm, but left no marks whatsoever. I was shocked to say at the least when Raven clamped her jaws around the bears neck. As time passed with Raven's mouth on its neck, the bear's attempts to throw her off grew more feeble, then finally stopped as the last pound of its heart sounded.

I watched as Raven pulled away, wiping her mouth but missing one drop of a red liquid. Blood! She was bleeding? No it can't be, she is unharmed, so it had to be... The bear's blood? Damn. She got back to her feet and I watched her every movement as she buried the carcass that used to be a live bear.

My lips trembled as I tried to speak when she turned back to me. Her eyes were glowing a topaz color, no black from earlier anywhere in them. I heard her whisper.

"There's nothing better than an angry bear," was all she said. It sounded funny and under any other circumstances I would have laughed. Right now I'm too shocked to do anything.

I knew my eyes were wide and my jaw was at the floor, but I couldn't help it. My sweet Raven had just drained a full grown grizzly bear, and was unharmed! She can't be human, is she a vampire? No no, she couldn't be, she is able to go out into the sun, during the day, she isn't repulsed by garlic, or a stake, she doesn't change to bat (maybe she does, she was able to change to a fox)... What is she.

"R-Raven? Is that you?" I whispered. But instead of answering, she turned and ran away. I followed as fast as I could but hot damn, she's fast!

She didn't look back and didn't stop running at what seemed to me full speed. I followed her, just seeing a blur of pale skin and black hair and clothes. Soon, we were at the edge of the forest and Raven jumped into her bedroom window with ease. My eyes widened as they landed on a black Ferrari 458 Italia. Oh shit!

Is this Raven's? If so, she must be loaded! Damn even I can't afford a car like that. Looking at the license plate, I read "Raven1". Yep its Raven's. Maybe she'll let me drive it. I hope!

Looking back at the window, I saw Raven's pale hand pressed against the glass and heard her whisper quietly.

"Alexander... I'll explain everything tomorrow, I promise," she whispered. Thank god for vampire hearing! I stayed where I was. At the edge of the woods, in the darkest shadows.

The certain past events ran through my head. What is she? Why didn't she tell me any of this? Was she going to tell me?

I didn't notice that I had two hours to get to my coffin so I left. Changing to a bat, I flew home. What? It's quicker than running.

I landed in my attic and changed back again. Stretching my arms above my head, I looked for Jameson. He was still in the kitchen. What is that? His hideout?

"Jameson, do you think that Raven has been keeping a secret from us?" I asked him, leaning against a counter. Jameson looked at me and patted my shoulder.

"If she is keeping a secret, I'm sure she would tell us," he said. I relaxed slightly and nodded.

"You're right," I said. Yawning, I looked at the time on the oven. 5:50 am. I told Jameson that I was going to bed and hurried up to my attic. I noticed that the first rays of dawn were coming through and I locked myself into my coffin room. Getting into the claustrophobic coffin, I fell asleep thinking of Raven.

Goodnight Raven, I thought as I fell asleep. The last sound I heard was my bedroom door closing softly.

So here is the next chapter. I know most people don't like it but I won't stop writing this story. Whoever is reading, please leave a review for me.
