The White and Black Rose

3: Coping

Trevor

I was sitting with Raven in the cemetery. Why? I have no idea, but we were. She turned her head to look at me, and then I kissed her. Her now-pale lips trembled, then let lose. She kissed me back, and I slipped my tongue out occasionally to taste. I felt all the love I had explode out, pushing Raven to the limit. She moaned, driving me wild. I felt her lips tug at the sides, in a delicate smirk. She pushed me away. Her white, concervative clothing became black and skimpy. Her healthy glow was replaced with dark, zombie makeup. She grinned evily.

"Did you honestly think I loved you? You're no more than a game to me, and it's time to put you away. I grow weary of playing. Oh, Trevor, if only you knew how much fun it was, playing at my level. But you're growing old, so I need someone new. Somebody like me."

As she said this, a figure emerged from behind the tombstone in a Nightmare Before Christmas effect. He had bone-white hair, with dark, blood-red ends. She walked over and kissed him. He looked at me, and revealed two, pointy fangs. Raven grinned again, and I gasped. She had fangs just like his! A blonde girl wearing a pink and black minidress wrapped her arms around me, showing me her fangs.

"If you can't make me happy, you will sustain us," Raven said. They all pounced on me.

"Trevor, wake up!"

"Huh?!" I yelled, falling off of my bed. I was staring at size five white Sketchers. I looked up. Raven was looking down at me, obviosly worried. Still thinking it was a dream, I clamped my hands around my neck and screamed, "Don't bite me!"

Raven's worried expression became hurt. I snapped back into reality. I hurt Raven.

"Oh, no, Raven, I'm sorry," I moaned. I got up and sat on my bed, motioning for Raven to sit.

"No, I'm the one who should be sorry. Do you always fall asleep as soon as you get home?"

"Not always. I have a game tonight."

"Oh."

"What're you doing here?"

"I thought it was rude of me to run like that. I was just thinking of how Alexander just took off, and... Well, I was mainly running from the fact that you attract me to you in some way. Not magnetic, but naturally, like a bee to a flower."

"Don't sting me!"

"Haha."

"So... What?"

"Well, about your asking me out, I hope you didn't already find another date."

I mentally flipped for joy.

"No, that spot is specially reserved."

"Oh, I see."

Raven got up to leave. No! She's taking it the wrong way!

"Wait, Raven! Silly girl, do you think I would confess my undying love and then find some cheerleader who will never have a life?"

"Well..."

I hugged her. She hugged me back, which surprised me a little.

"Raven, would you like to go to the game with me? And perhaps get a bite to eat at the restaraunt?"

Raven sighed against my chest.

"That sounds like a date."

I leaned in to whisper into her ear.

"That's because it is."

"Well then, I hope this sentence sounds like I'm accepting."

"I believe it does."

"Good to know."

"Love you."

"Let's not start with the gooey stuff."

"Okay."

She began to laugh.

"Trevor! It's time to go!"

"And that sounds like my mother pestering me to go to my game," I joked.

Raven cracked up even harder.

"Okay, I need to change. Traditionally, girls wait outside."

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving!"

AN: Yay! I added Jagger and Luna in there, just to spice it up a little. I want to send a shout out to those of you who actually reviewed. Thank you so much. Oh, and I want to add a few characters to the story. Please review giving me three girls' names and one guy. I will give the credit to the sender with the best names, I swear. Oh, and make the names original. I hate it when people just send me "Bob, Lisa, Sue, Cindy" and try to get credit out of it!
