((Author's Note: I'm currently in a depression because one of my favorite mmorpgs is shutting down. Also, this is my excuse for my releasing another chapter until the next month. SO, I had a note written down somewhere that I owe one super saucy scene between Raven and Eve under a tree… or something. FOR ONE OF MY FOLLOWERS OUT THERE, IN FACT! You know who you are. OnO

Before we get started, a SUPER HUGE FREAKISHLY LARGE WARNING TO YOU ALL!

If you are under 18+ and/or STRONGLY DESPISE RavenxEve, then I highly recommend that you push the back button and NOT continue reading!

…unless you're cool with anything, then please enjoy this read! No complaining about this, please! I've already warned you enough. Because of the content of this chapter, I'm questioning whether this should or should not be canon. Until a definite decision has been made, this specific chapter will ONLY be a fan-fiction of the story. Hey, a fan-fiction of a fan-fiction. *mindfck* ))

Trees were a beautiful thing to the queen. She loved the way they grew and their determination to grow into something more than just a seed. Through rain, snow, and heat, trees endure so much abuse, but they eventually grow in due time. When everything is left behind, a seed grows to tremendous heights. Eve always wished she could grow like a tree. No matter how much she goes through, she wanted to be just as strong as a tree. Nothing would make her stop from growing and she wanted to endure so much.

One thing that bothered her was one element that helped a tree grow; it was the element of love. From what she has researched, plants are treated very well and in time they grow into beautiful species. Trees are the same way to plants. Her logic was forming again and it concluded a few things: trees and plants are the same, plants gain care and love in order to grow beautifully, and in order for a tree to grow more effectively, it must be given love.

She couldn't feel love from anything or anyone else anymore. Eve knew this; she was the last Nasod in Elrios. Then again, how does she know what genuine love is? Her subjects, the Nasods she rebuilt with her own hands, claim they love her, but they were programmed to say such things to her so that she wouldn't feel lonely. It was hard for her to understand such a concept. What made it worse was the idea of the arrange marriage she was going to have with King Wally from the Rurensia continent. What was marriage like? Could it truly show her what love really was?

Hours after she watched General Raven and his troops leave the island; Eve finished up her research regarding marriage. It was something that killed her inside… if that was possible. She knew it couldn't affect her, and yet the strange feeling of loneliness over-ridded the processes of her body. Her eyes started to water a bit… loneliness was coming over her just like it would every single day. If there was a program that concentrated on the pure feeling of loneliness, she probably had it.

"…I want… to feel love, too." Eve said, her hand over her… her… where her heart WOULD be.

The day went on as usual; having to maintain the island and making sure her subjects were doing well. Nothing new came up, but she wasn't expecting anything other than news from General Raven. That man was odd, but very polite. He was more like a knight-in-shining-armor to her because of his chivalrous acts during the time he was on the island. Raven wanted to lead her back home, he stayed by her side and waited for her to finish bathing, and he was so quick to reacting to Captain Elsword coming out of the bushes. If Eve had such power, she would make Raven her knight. Well, she DID have that kind of power, but according to her ethical database, it was wrong.

Night finally fell and Eve decided to take a walk through the surface of Altera Island. It was necessary for her breathing mechanism to take effect and to take in as much oxygen as possible. The superior of a human's lung: Eve's breathing is actually spot on and it can actually store twice as much oxygen as any regular human. She could live without it, but it connects to so much programs and hardware that it's pretty much impossible to turn off. It had to be left on.

Before she could stop and look to her drones, Remy and Moby, a quick feeling of distress overcame her. "What's wrong?" she asked her helpers.

Someone caught her off-guard; it surprised Eve so much that she couldn't think fast enough on her feet. All she could recall was that Raven was the only one in her whole lifespan that caught her in an oblivious state. Whoever this person was, they were able to snatch her and fight her to the point of making her submit and fall to the ground on her back.

She told Remy and Moby to leave her behind and that she would take care of herself. They didn't want to leave, but Eve insisted that Moby and Remy should leave. With no other choice, the two drones left. Eve was left with this person and while she tried to catch her breath, a familiar scent entered into her system. Her eyes led her up to the face and it shocked her to no avail.

There was some struggle and some complaints, but after a while, she gave up. He wanted her to go back with him to Velder and he asked if she could trust him. It was insane for her to admit it, but he really was the only person who she could trust. After all, he came back to her…

…Raven came back to her…

She hugged him and pulled him closer to her. "I… I trust you…"

Raven looked back to Eve and examined her face a bit. His right hand went to stroke the hair out of Eve's face as he examined her facial expression. A frown decorated his face.

"…Why would you trust me so quickly? We only met for just a quick moment in time…"

Before he could continue talking, Eve just stared into Raven's eyes and she frowned along with him. "You're… the only human who has come this close to me in so many years…"

He couldn't believe what he was hearing and yet all he could do was nod. "I see."

Pulling them up to their feet, Raven looked around and then back to Eve. "Let's get going… back to Velder."

Eve shook her head in protest, but Raven tried to persuade her. No matter how many times she tried to fight him, he would fight back. Tears were slowly streaming through her eyes. Seeing this concerned Raven and he started backing off. He didn't want this to happen; he wanted to bring Eve back with no struggle. Sadly, this was more difficult than he thought. There he sat carefully above her as he watched Eve trying to fight back her tears.

She hated this… she wanted to go back home… she wanted everything to back to the way things were. Being forced to leave the island without being able to defend it was the last thing on Eve's mind. "…I hate this…"

Raven caught her words. "…you hate what?"

"I don't want to do this…" Eve quietly said.

"Do what? What do you hate, Eve?"

Immediately, she attempted to sit up and started hitting Raven's chest. Those blows felt strong, but they weren't strong enough to make Raven get off of her. Sure, they hurt, but he was more than ready to stand his ground against her.

"I hate this! I hate this! I don't want to leave this island! I don't want to go and marry someone that doesn't love me! I want to be loved in the best way possible and grow from that! I don't want to live in a world full of lies where I'm told I'm loved, only to know that it was programmed into the minds of others! I want true love!" She cried out.

Raven couldn't help but stare at Eve. This sounded… so familar to him. This was something… Seris told him. He recalled the day she was accepted into the Black Crows and how the other members enjoyed her company. They told him how much they loved Seris, but the same night she was there, she complained to Raven about all of this. She wanted to be loved. She was asking for a true love to hold onto… just like Eve was doing right now.

It was because of this desire that he fell in love with Seris. She was determined to find love, no matter what the circumstance was. Now that Raven was thinking about it, was Eve doing the same? Trying to find love no matter how hard she tries? Sure, Eve had Aisha to talk and keep around, but was it the same for her? When Aisha said she loved Eve, did she feel empty inside? How far was Eve willing to go just for love?

"Eve…" Raven stared at her with concern.

She looked back to Raven; her face had a hint of fear as tears continued to stream down her eyes. Raven's left arm was lifted up and carefully, he wiped the tear away with the claw like arm. Eve reacted and her hands went to hold Raven's hand. This must have been a normal human's reaction to such emotions.

After a good number of minutes, Raven already knew what he was going to tell Eve. The problem was how she was going to take it.

"If you come along with me to Velder, I can provide you with the love you're searching for. A love that can help you and give you what you desire. I'll make sure nothing will happen to you; after all, you are my guest in Velder and I can't let anything happen to you."

Eve stared at Raven, surprised at the offer. Love could help her give what she desired? Now that she thought about it, she desired to bring back the Nasod race. …but her work was not enough. She started to question what kind of power love truly had if Raven said, '…A love that can help you and give you what you desire…' There was a strange feeling that was starting to rush inside her. Even if it was just a hint of power that she can gain, she wanted to try this type of love Raven spoke about.

"I… I want to experience this kind of love right now. To see what I'm going to be looking forward to in the days to come in my stay in Velder." She said.

How was he going to satisfy that desire? Raven honestly had no idea how to show it to Eve. All he was aware of was that love was a type of feeling one can express to another. Kissing Eve will only make her question if that was all it would take to love someone else. After that, it would lead to a heated discussion where she would complain about other races of humans showing this type of affection just by greeting one another and kissing each other's cheeks. There was one other way, but Raven refused to go down that path. It was too dangerous to go down because he had Rena.

Before he could do anything else, Eve snatched Raven's coat and pulled him down to look into his eyes. Eve examined him a little bit. "…You're hesitant. Are you regretting something right now? Because if you are, that tells me that you won't be able to protect me. You said so yourself that you wouldn't let anything happen to me."

She was right. He was hesitating. How was he going to explain love to Eve in a way that won't hurt her? All she wanted was love that could help her grow. If that was the case, he could give it to her…

…but it would lead to a life full of regret. Raven wished he could avoid that. If he wanted Eve to come along, he had to show Eve the best way to express love. One can't deny that fact; it was probably the only other way love could be given. Words can be easily misunderstood. Holding hands and kissing were just a little tease and nothing more.

Raven moved down and he deeply kissed Eve. She was definitely surprised about this. Never in her life has she experienced a kiss like this before. It was different; the database back in the underground had no records of it. Was it instinct or something more? Eve's fingertips moved through Raven's hair, messing it up as the kiss became deeper. As soon as Raven's finger's touched Eve's shoulder, she twitched and broke the kiss.

"Ah… can we… can we move somewhere else?" Eve asked.

His eyes widened. Did she know about what he was going to do with her? A woman would normally request for such a thing because of their insecurity of having sex outside. He didn't want to force anything on Eve… he didn't want to let Eve change her mind about coming along with him to Velder. Raven had to comply with Eve's request. "Alright. Where do you want to go?"

She pointed towards a small forest a few yards away from them and before Raven could say anything, Eve was already on her way there. As they arrived, they noticed the forest's structure. It was oddly perfect in a sense; the middle of the forest was clear and trees circled around it. There was a pile of leaves in the middle. Eve then jumped into it and then turned to look at Raven. She was smiling…

When was the last time he saw Eve smile? Now that he thought about it, did she ever smile in front of him? He honestly couldn't recall. Raven had accustomed himself to seeing Eve so serious. After all, she was a queen and she had to act as such. But this was a different Eve. What was with the sudden change? Immediately, Raven took off his coat and pulled Eve out of the pile. Then, he laid his coat down and carefully laid her on top of it. She stared at him.

"Why did you take your jacket off?" She asked him.

In all honesty, he just didn't want to be bothered with Eve complaining about the leaves against her skin when he was working with her. Raven went on top of Eve and again, he gave a deep kiss. Again, she wrapped her fingers into his hair as he deepened the kiss more. With his left hand working as a support for him to stay up, he bit down on his right glove and took it off. He then proceeded under Eve's blouse and let his warm fingers explore until they felt her nipples becoming erect from Raven's touch.

So, this was how human intercourse is like? Eve has done numerous studies about this, but she didn't read up anything about the actions Raven's currently taking. Whatever he was doing, it was working. She felt short of breath after feeling him rub his fingertip against her small breast. It felt nice… and for some odd reason, it was making her feel warm. He lifted up her shirt and Raven looked over Eve's body. It wasn't perfect, he'll admit it; her breasts weren't developed enough. Maybe she was one of those flat-chested women? It didn't matter at the moment. Raven was already killing the mood for himself.

Eve felt the cold hair pressing against her skin. Her internal programs were sending this info to her mind, letting her body squirm and begging for something warm to press against her. Raven answered and he let his breath warm Eve up before he started to lick Eve's breasts. The conflicting warmth and coolness was confusing the different processes of Eve's body so much, they shut down. Eve had to rely on her own instinct, only to find out there was one more thing that seemed to have been installed into her—a human's natural instinct.

As Raven continued licking Eve and helping her warm up more, his right slid down Eve's stomach and in-between her legs. Just with his fingertips, he started pressing against Eve and he heard her moan out. It was small, but cute. Again, he continued and he watched as she reacted; her hands immediately went to his right hand and quickly grasped onto it.

"W-wait…! I…"

"Wait? I think your hands want me to go on." Raven said as she slid his fingers up to mess around with her clit. Eve moaned out again, this time her hips moved once against his fingers. This was surprising; maybe this was what she wanted for the longest time? If that was the case, has Eve already had sex with someone before him? This lone thought actually made Raven… jealous. Sure, he wasn't interested in Eve, but something in the back of his mind made him feel tick. Immediately, his hand grabbed onto Eve's bottom and he pulled it off of her. Eve squeaked in shock after noticing Raven doing such a thing and it made her close her legs in protest. The feeling was too good, but she didn't want him to rush it.

Taking Eve's legs, he tried to pull them apart so that he could get a glimpse. Eve did fight back, but a part of her wanted Raven to succeed. Her defenses went down as she saw Raven looking at her. She was getting wet just by him looking at her. Human instinct kicked in and he wanted to go into Eve now. Was he going to fight it? He wanted to, but if this was for the sake of conquering Fluone, Raven had to go on. His head went down and in-between Eve's legs; his tongue stuck out and started licking. When she felt Raven's tongue enter into her, Eve quickly moved her hands onto his head, grasping onto his hair. This new feeling was amazing and she didn't want it to end so quickly.

"More… More…!" Eve begged.

If she was getting aroused just by him licking her, it made him wonder how much she'll enjoy this when he's inside her. He continued on and Eve's squirming was just making it feel all the more better, but after a good few seconds, he finished. She plopped back onto Raven's jacket and she was shivering. This feeling was too good; how were humans able to endure such an animalistic desire? The pleasure was nice and it was good enough for her, but she couldn't help but feel empty. Wasn't there something else that was supposed to happen?

"Did you enjoy that?" Raven asked.

Eve weakly nodded her head. She seemed satisfied, but he wasn't. Raven didn't want to force himself on Eve, but after giving her pleasure made his shaft hard. He unzipped his pants and carefully put himself over Eve, kissing her and pulling her close to him with his left arm. She looked into his eyes and he looked back into hers. A weak smile appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry Eve, but you'll need to bear with me…"

"…Why?"

As soon as she asked, her breath stopped in mid-inhale as soon as she felt something rubbing against her. Her arms immediately wrapped around Raven and her body immediately pressed onto Raven. If memory served her right, a human female had some strange type of barrier that could be broken. The pain was going to surface after a human male entered and break the hymen. What she wasn't aware of was how painful it was going to hurt. Eve's breath grew short. Raven looked to her.

"Don't worry; I'll be gentle with you."

"But… but I'm fine now. I'll go to Velder, Raven."

Raven lowly growled. "I don't care about that…"

She gasped. His original intention was to bring her back with him, but now it was as if he has forgotten about it. Why? Was it because his instincts were kicking in or was it something else? Raven couldn't care less. He lifted Eve's legs under his and she immediately wrapped them around him. Slowly and carefully, Raven entered into Eve and her whole body tensed up. The pain came up and she started to whimper. As he waited for Eve to give him the okay, he gave her soft kisses around her face, then to her neck, and then some on her lips.

Feeling Raven inside of her was weird; he felt bigger than she imagined him to be and he was throbbing. She must've been too small for him if his member wanted more room inside of her. Raven was thinking otherwise. His shaft was throbbing from excitement; Eve was tight around him and it felt amazing. He couldn't wait any longer, so he started to slowly thrust into her. Raven's movement snapped Eve to her senses as the feeling changed from pain to pleasure. The feeling was indescribable and in response, she moved her hips against his. He slid is right hand down to Eve's hip and he firmly grasped onto her as each thrust became deeper and harder. Her moans mixed in with Raven's grunts.

"Ah…! So deep inside me… give me more, Raven… more…!" Eve moaned out.

Crying out his name turned him on more and he wrapped his arms around Eve, holding her as he started thrusting harder and faster. She couldn't concentrate any longer; she was feeling pure pleasure… it was better than anything she had experienced before.

"I… ah… ah…! I love you—I love you, Raven!" She cried out.

Raven was going as deep as he could, hoping he was hitting that spot that made Eve feel good. After all, she did say she loved him. He probably was and he was enjoying every single second of this.

"I… Ngh… Eve, I love you too…" Raven grunted sensually.

He couldn't take it anymore; he had to climax, but he wasn't going to do it inside Eve. It would only cause problems between them both and he… he didn't want to hurt Eve in any way.

"Eve, I'm coming…" He breathed out.

She nodded and as they held each other close, Raven kept his thrusts going. The feeling was too much for them to contain. Eve moaned out and started squeezing Raven's shaft. He pulled out and moved his right hand, inserting two fingers as substitute as he started coming himself onto Eve's body. After all that, Raven held Eve close as she clung onto him. Such a feeling was purely satisfying. If she was really going to experience this kind of love in Velder… it was going to be really good, especially if it was coming from Raven.

Now that she thought about it, Raven was her first. Was that supposed to be important? To know who her first was? She honestly didn't know. When she's back home, she'll need to do more research on human morale regarding sex. She was built as a weapon of destruction, but she was also built to be able to interact with humans. Who would've thought the people that worked on her made it to where she was going to interact on all aspects, including sex?

Raven laid next to Eve and she cuddled against him. A satisfying sigh came from her. "I feel much better now… are we going?"

He frowned and closed his eyes, holding Eve close. "At least let me rest… I had to do all the work."

As they stayed in that spot, Raven fell asleep from getting tired. Eve stayed awake, thinking of what just happened. Her thoughts were getting blocked out from her body being worn out. She was getting tired, too. Nothing in the archives mentioned that humans get tired after having sex. Was the sex she had with Raven just now special? It must be. Eve closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Surrounded by a forest of trees, Eve was well on her way to grow into something extraordinary. After all, she did get some love out of this.
