Chapter 10

Louis smiled down at me. His fangs ready to pierce my skin. His blue eyes showing pure evil… I REALLY hate this vampire…

I shut my eyes tightly waiting for him to just kill me then and there. Louis laughed. I opened my eyes again to stare back at him.

Louis was looking up into the trees.

"Nice you could make it Alex!" He yelled.

"Louis…" Alex's voice rang in my ears.

I looked around and slid out from under Louis and standing up and running towards where I heard Alex's voice. No matter how much pain I was in.

"Alex? Alex where are you?" I called.

"Behind you." I turned around to meet a wolf. A black wolf with blue eyes. I kneeled down to his level.

"Alex?" I said touching his face. He nodded.

My eyes widened a bit, then my arms wrapped themselves around him.

"Alex! I'm so happy you're here!" I let my tears of happiness and fear flow freely.

"It's ok. Let's get to the house before-"Alex paused. Looking at Louis. Who was staring at us, ok more like glaring at us.

"I'll be back…" he said then the oh-so-familiar smoke of doom came again around Louis's body as he transformed back into his raven form.

Alex shook his head then looking back at me. His blue eyes widened.

"You're covered in blood! We've got to get you to the house quick!" He looked around. I looked down at my arms and legs. Yep. Blood, dirt and oh yeah more blood!

I looked at Alex who looked like he was in pain. Then like Louis some smoke surrounded him as he transformed back into a human. Er. Vampire.

Alex picked me up again. Seeing how I was in so much pain I couldn't walk….Why does this always happen to me?!

Anyway, soon we were back at the house and Mom was fixing me up. She tsked.

"You're so graceful… But at least you're safe… I'll send Alex to go get you something to feed on." She said standing up when she was finished fixing me up.

I nodded, unable to speak at the moment. She left, leaving me alone with my thoughts. Not that I mind being alone.

Why was Louis after me? Revenge most likely… And how come I never knew Alex could change into a wolf? I mean that's cool but still? Because I never asked.

I kept asking myself questions then answering them. Great I'm going crazy too! Lovely! I shook my head and stared out the window. Wondering what's going on…

I sighed and tried to stand up again. A dull pain shot through my body but it soon faded. My wounds were throbbing but other then that I was fine.

I looked around Alex's room again. I never did get to go through his stuff. What? I'm curious.

I searched his desk, nothing much just a whole bunch of papers and books in languages I didn't recognize. I think it's French or something. Or maybe German. I'm not sure.

I sat in his chair and searched through his drawings. Jeez! His art is amazing! They're dark, and beautiful.

I flipped the page and my heart skipped a beat. It was a picture of me. About a year ago, when I first started having dreams about him.

My dark hair in my face, and my clothes all covered in blood. Tears streaming down my face, which had multiple cuts.

I blinked, and then sighed. I remember that dream. All the people I loved were being slaughtered right in front of me. And when the killer was going after me, Alex appeared and saved me.

Someone put their cold hands over my eyes from behind me. I smiled. Alex.

"Guess who." Wait-that's not Alex. Then it clicked. I growled.

"Get your frikkin' hands off me." I demanded whipping around and punching Louis in the gut. He fell to the ground a couple feet away from me. I quickly stood up and put my boot's heel on his throat. Slowly crushing his windpipe.

He gasped, then grabbed my foot and tripped me.

I fell to ground and he straddled me. I growled again and grabbed a pen not to far away from me. Then trying to stab him, but of coarse, he grabbed my wrist and knocked me out.

Louis's POV

I sighed looking down at Raven. Why must she be so difficult? I stood up and took her in my arms. Then closing my eyes and lowly chanting a spell. A familiar wind picked up and our surroundings disappeared from my Brother's room, and reappearing at the castle.

I picked up Raven again and took her to my room. Hopefully my Master will let me keep her. I'll have to ask him.

A servant came in, she bowed to me.

"The master would like to speak with you." She said, her brown eyes never leaving the ground in front of her.

I nodded. "Thank you. Carry on." I said. She bowed again and left. I sighed and looked in the mirror. Almost expecting to see my reflection. There was a light out line of my form, like a ghost, but other then that nothing.

I walked back outside my room but as I was walking out locking the door behind me. Soon I came to Master's office.

"Louis. Come in." I walked into the office. Master smiled at me.

"Sir, I need to ask you something after you're done telling me what you need to." I said quickly before he could start. He smiled at me again and nodded.

"Yes, yes. But first we have to talk about something I found in my library. Take a look at this" He handed me an old book. Like all of his books in his library.

"Look at page 46, second paragraph." I opened the book to the page and let me eyes skim over the hand written words.

Raven's POV

I opened my eyes, but quickly shut them for the room was spinning. Once it stopped spinning I opened my eyes again and sat up.

"Ow. What the-? Damn it Louis!" I yelled getting up and marching towards the door. I growled again, once I realized he locked the damn door.

"Stupid Vampire!" I cursed, walking around the large room. It looks more like a frikkin' room in a castle. I'm not surprised that I'm in one.

There was knocking at the door, then a key going into the lock and unlocking the door. I growled expecting into be Louis. But instead it was a small girl. Dark brown hair about to her shoulders, very curly. Brown eyes and a maid's uniform.

She bowed to me and I noticed she had some clothes in her hands.

"Here's some clothes for you, ma'am. Master Louis will be seeing you soon." She said setting the clothes on the bed and leaving.

I walked over to the clothing and picked them up. A black, short, sleeveless dress. Very simple. However I'm not to fond of the shortness of the dress though.

I sighed and changed into the dress. Then running my fingers through my hair. I looked out the window. Yep I'm in castle. Great. Just lovely.

The lock clicked again and in came Louis. I growled and got in his face. Then started yelling at him.

"My master said the only way you could stay here is if you wish to be a maid." He said calmly. I glared at him.

"Hell. No. I'm not staying here." I said darkly, pushing him a couple of inches. Damn he's like a statue!

"Louis. Get out of my way or I'll rip your insides out." I threatened. He only glared back at me.

"You're not going leave." He said grabbing my arm and leading me through the dark halls.
