So hey guys! I am back and this is the one story that I have decided to update because so many people love it and want me to so I really hope you like it because I was freshly out of ideas and I feel bad about it. Plus the semester is coming to a close so maybe I will be able to write over break. I'm just a lazy person I've deduced you know but I never leave anything half finished so here guys. I love you so much this took a lil bit to do even though its prolly short or whatever cuz I got a headache towards the end of the typing. Idk why well anywho lets get on with the story!

(Alexander's P.O.V.)

I didn't know what to do. Everything about my life was pulled and turned inside out ripped from me and thrown carelessly away. And I couldn't get it back; I was bound by the law and by blood. But how could I let this happen? How could I have been so stupid? I should never have listened to her instead listened to my own logic, but I thought…oh how I thought it was the right thing! But it wasn't it never is. I've wasted so much time stalling and putting the most important part of my life away. Holding it back. But why? I shouldn't have. Raven I wish so much that I could take it all back that I could redo this whole nightmare so that you could still be here with me. Do you even remember me, do you still think of me? Because I think of you, everyday and every night all the time. I mope around and try to come up with something just something to get you back. I stand in the graveyard and get council from grandmother, but she is as lost as I am. I have no one, no one at all. Your parents act as if nothing has happened and that kills me a thousand times! How could I be the only one who cares? It's not normal; why not even Trevor whom I keep my temper around but inside I know doesn't care about you being gone. But how could he not? He was in love with you, and now you are no more. My heart bleeds from the shattered glass that incased it. I need to know that you are okay, that you are alive and well and trying to enjoy your life as best you can. You have been manipulated and fooled into love. But I have lied to you as well. I have hurt you with all I could and I'm sorry now there is nothing I can do about it. I sit on my mattress in the attic we frequented that is only a dark reminder of what used to be. I hear Jameson shuffling around downstairs cleaning and cooking, but I wasn't hungry. I couldn't eat nor could I sleep, my coffin held no comfort. I was an empty dark hole and there is nothing left to do.

Slowly I rise from my sleep and rub my eyes. I have dreamed of you and nothing else, I feel so powerless without your strength. After getting up and jumping in the shower I pull on some black skinny jeans and a white v neck before unlocking my attic door and going down the stairs. My hair is still a mess despite its soaking appearance and water drips on the dusty stairs as I pound down them. Jameson is in the kitchen cooking something I don't care for. The moon is full tonight and clear but my mind is jumbled and filled with thoughts and plagued with anger. I sighed and sat down in one of the chairs. Jameson sat a plate in front of me but I did not want to eat, I felt sick

"Alexander you must eat."

"I'm not hungry." I mumbled to busy staring out the window. Jameson set something on the table anyway, but I didn't look away from the moon. It looked sad as sad as I was feeling.

"You can't starve yourself Alexander." He told me but I sighed

"What's the point in living; I have nothing to live for." That must have been too much because Jameson grabbed me by my shoulders and forced me to look at him. His bulging green eyes flashed with anger and determination

"Alexander, that's enough! Now really, you have been moping around the mansion for days, she hasn't called nor has she contacted you in anyway, it's safe to say that she is over you." My mind shattered and I saw red, I couldn't believe he had said that to me, it crashed my heart to see my oldest friend and butler tell me something like that. I opened my mouth to deny it but he was still talking. "You loved her yes, I understand, and its hard to get over it, every breakup is, but Alex if you love her so much do something about it. This has happened before and you waited, Jagger has infiltrated you and your life once again, and he has taken the one thing you hold dear, and you mope." He stepped away from me with a look that clearly said he thought I was the lowest of the low. "you disgust me" I flew in front of him, startling him with my vampire speed.

"No, I will not let him take her any further into the darkness than he has, I will find someway to help her, I will bring her back to me." I promised this in my heart and mind that I would get her back. I stepped back from Jameson and straightened his tie. "I'm sorry it's just, I am so upset. You made me think."

"That is all I wanted to do Alexander now, shall I arrange your flight home?" My eyes went darker at the prospect of seeing Raven again.

"Yes, I needn't pack; my parents will be informed tell them to keep it to themselves." He nodded and disappeared out of the room. I took a sip of my drink and walked out that room, ready to go and get Raven back. I raced upstairs to my attic room and grabbed my passport and papers. I needed it to get passed the out of state line only, don't ask me Dullsville is weird. After pulling on my leather jacket I took my things and met Jameson at the door. "Sorry Jameson but I cannot ask you to go with me. You have a life here and I will not disturb it any more hopefully I will be back soon." Then as he began to protest I said "I'll have someone send your car back from the airport now I have to beat the sun goodbye." And with that I was out of the door and into the Mercedes. I was speeding down the street, not caring about the police or anything I was determined. It was time to stop acting like a child and be the adult that I am. I couldn't let Jagger win, not a chance. If he was gonna fight dirty then so was I.

Getting to the airport was no problem, I compelled the people there so I would not need a picture or money, though I had lots of it I didn't have the time. My estimated time of landing would be in two-three days. While on the plane I made calls to Bucharest, telling gold friends what had happened and calling in favors. I knew it wouldn't be easy getting Raven back so I had to do a little vampy work to accomplish my goals. And by vampy work I mean witchy work. I called up my good friend Destination, everyone calls her Destiny for short. She's a witch and is perfectly capable of handling any tough work. So is her twin brother Austintatious we all call him Austin as you probably could imagine. They are the best witch twins I have ever known, they specialize in love and disaster which is perfect because I very much need a distraction. The twins both talk very precise but seem eager to help me win back my love and I remain on the phone with them for a very long time while the plane takes forever to get out of the country. It's a non stop flight and I can close my window when the sun rises. I must come up with a plan. I know I need to get Raven back and to do that I need to tear Jagger away from her. There is no love in a covenant that was forced. I meditate on it as the plane soars throughout the clouds. When she looked at me…I will never forget the look on her face. It was horrible, I don't know what she saw but I bet it was Jagger's influence on her. We can still influence other vampires even without looking at them. She had that look in her eyes, as if she had just given up on us in that moment. It was all very complicated; I had so much on my mind, but couldn't seem to move. It was like I was rooted to the spot

The plane touches down to the ground and I start to gather my things. Its about seven o'clock at night which is good because I didn't fancy staying in the airport all day in the bathroom. Austin and Destiny are waiting when I come into the big open space both wearing jet black ninja suits. The only visible feature on the twins are their faces, which are ivory. Their eyes are like stones hard and grey and their hair is loose and the darkest red I've ever seen. Why they are wearing ninja outfits though is hard to explain. I roll my eyes and walk over to them. They smile at the same time and then it disappears all in two seconds

"Alexander Sterling, it's very nice to see you again." Destiny says in her liquid voice. She's pretty for a witch her hair is long and she usually wears it in a bun or ponytail, her eyes are a deep grey and her face is perfectly composed. Austin's eyes are a darker grey and his red hair flames to his shoulders with little gold streaks here and there.

"Hello Dina hey Austin may I ask why you are wearing ninja suits?" Austin looks at me in contempt then says in the tone that makes the strongest of us vamps back down

"They are not ninja suits, those are for humans, these are our witch wear, we wear these because of honor and integrity." Destiny nods but there is a little smile on her lips, as if she actually found my question comical. They don't laugh often either which makes me believe they don't do anything fun in witch school.

"Come with us please," Destiny commands and she starts to walk away. Austin follows almost immediately and I bring up the rear.

"Where are we going?" I asked as we made our way outside and over to an all black van. Austin didn't look back when he answered

"You said you needed our help right? We are here to help, we've had Jagger and Luna Maxwell on our radar for a while now, they started a commotion down Snakes Way a couple of months ago and we need them to pay." Snakes Way was an underpass for witches and magic users (which they call the guys because lets face it warlock is such an old timey word) to go and study their magic. We vampires are not allowed in Snakes Way even though witches and vampires are good neighbors; they are as territorial as we are. To have Jagger and Luna mess around in their territory would be great treason and could even start a war in our world. I was kind of glad that Austin and Destiny were working the case, anyone else and there would have been a fight already. Austin pulled open the door and we got in. it was roomy and all black inside. Austin said something to the driver in Russian and we were off like a bullet. "Now you say there is a girl, yes and she was taken by Jagger." I nodded

"Raven, the love of my life and I need to get her back." Destiny spoke

"You do know the law of your own people, correct Alexander, once he has coveted her she is his forever." I sighed in desperation

"But there must be something I can do, please Dina I can't live without her." Destiny and Austin exchanged looks before they said in unison

"There is one thing we can do." I looked up eagerly

"What is it?" I demanded I would do anything to get Raven back. Destiny sighed and ran her fingers through her red hair. A fine thread of gold followed her movements and when she pulled her hand in front of her, the gold wrapped itself around her fingers. Austin made a noise like a whistle and the gold shaped itself on its own.

"There is a way to break a covenant you know." She said softly as the gold continued to thread itself, spinning and weaving.

"I've never heard of it before, how do you know about it." Austin took over his hands following the movement of the gold now

"A very long time ago, there were only witches, we had a hand in creating the covenant, we also had a hand in creating your race, yes the books say differently but we did have something to do with it, if not everything. The covenant is something like a restriction for your kind, to ensure that the human race is not involved in all that you do. Everyone is created in pairs they are split at birth and placed in different areas. We made it capable for those pairs to be reunited and bound together forever; nothing would be able to break it." His lips quirked just slightly "But there comes a time when pairs are mixed for whatever reason and the ceremony is compromised. That is where we come in." Destiny was still watching the gold, it was shaping still and it looked as though it were a cup. I frowned, why did she make a cup with her gold magic. Of all the things she could make with gold she chose a cup.

There were different levels to magic. The first level was blue, where you could only make blue magic and that was kind of low, that was why they had a school for the magic users and witches so they could build up from blue to gold. There was one level above but that was pushing the limits. That was cruel to go to black magic, as the saying goes. Destiny finally stopped weaving. The cup became substantial and fell into her hands softly. It was a chalice, silver and black with a high brim and a shiny texture. She handed it to me

"A vampire is safe in his or her covenant, two against one is not fair but it works. There is a kind of commitment in the covenant we cannot touch Jagger while he has a partner, but if she was all wrong for him and not his to take…" Austin finished

"Then we must redo. He has to be broken from her and then we will deal with him. This will help you." I looked down at the chalice again. Sure it was pretty but I didn't see how it could help. We turned left and I realized where we were headed. Back to my home.

"Alright so do I like drink from the cup or what?"

"Not you" they said together. My frown deepened and I tipped the cup upside down.

"Well is it invisible? Destiny sighed again and she and Austin started weaving the air once more. I watched as their gold magic produced a little cork sealed bottle. Austin caught it and handed it to me. The contents were a milky gold.

"You must get Jagger and Raven to drink this, but before they do it must be mixed with their blood as well as yours. Only when the time is right you pour it into the chalice, if you do it before then it will not work and that will be it. We cannot make another, and we will not. Be careful Alexander." The van stopped and I pocketed the serum stuff and placed the cup in my bag. The door opened and I hopped out.

"When they drink they will be unbonded, but she will still be dead, you must covet her then and there, she cannot stay single or she will really die." My eyes widened in alarm and I implored them. Austin shrugged "Do you want it or not." I was silent for half a second

"Yes of course, but how will I know it has worked." Austin and Destiny both smiled now and as Austin leaned over and grabbed the door Destiny said

"You'll know." And with that the door slammed and the van was driving away. I watched them go then turned around to face my home. It was as I remembered, tall, wide and creepy. Mom and dad would be out, but I knew one person who would be in, she had a curfew that she respected. Going up the walk I couldn't help the feelings inside of me. I knew why I had come back but I still missed my family so much that I couldn't help but smile. Opening the door I took in a deep breath and yelled

"STORMY! I'M HOME!"

Well that is it for this chapter I know I took forever but I was uninspired and this has been on my flash drive half finished for a while, so on the day of my final I took advantage of my time and just typed it up. Whatever came into my head is in this chapter, the next chapter is not even written yet but I know what's gonna be in it. Again I know it's been forever and a half but I've been busy and haven't been on Fanfiction. I promise to try to write the next chapter soon and put it up when it's finished. I will be moving house soon so there will be a bit of complications…eh w.e. I will try you guys. Anyway I really hope you like it and will review. I love you all! And thank you
