I am truly sorry it's taking long for updating some stories. Forgive me? Anyway, I'm sorry if this chapter is confusing.
And a giant thank you and I love you to my boyfriend for everything! :)
Now the chapter will start. Enjoy. Oh and I do not own Vampire Kisses or Twilight. I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT!
BPOV (Bella)
I watched as Raven went upstairs with strawberries and chocolate. I was confused because vampires don't eat, sleep, or have human colored eyes. I stared after her as she disappeared from view and turned to look at Edward. They were all staring at me with worry in their eyes, like they were dreading what I was going to say.
"What was all that about?" I asked. They sighed in unison and Edward brought me onto his lap, arms wrapped around my waist. The others sat around the living room.
"That was Raven, another vampire that is part of our family, she's my sister," Jasper started. I nodded.
"Like Rosalie is right? Fake siblings?" I guessed. Jasper and Edward shook their heads and I got confused.
"No, actually, Raven is my blood sister from when I was human. I changed her myself when I was still a newborn," Jasper explained. I blushed.
"Oh sorry," I murmured. Jasper smiled gently.
"It's fine. Anyway, after I changed Raven, it became apparent that Raven had two powers. One, was human traits. She can eat, sleep, drink, use the bathroom, have a beating heart, and look more human than we do. The second is shape-shifting. Not like the La Push werewolves, where they just change into wolves, Raven can change into all things, even her human and vampire appearance," Jasper went on. I listened intently as he talked. Raven seems quite powerful.
"I noticed that she was wearing dark clothing? Is she Gothic or something?" I inquired. Jasper's eyes hardened.
"Is there a problem with her since she's Gothic? Does that change who she is?" he snarled as he got to his feet. Edward was instantly in front of me, crouching defensively.
"N-n-no! I was just wondering! I didn't mean to seem like I was insulting her or anything," I stuttered in a hurry. Jasper sat back down and Alice bounced into his lap to calm him down. Edward lifted me into his arms and sat me back down on his lap as well. I quickly snuggled into his hard, stone body.
"Raven's mate is named Alexander Sterling. You'll meet him tonight," Jasper continued and I sighed in relief. At least the worst as passed.
"Why tomorrow night? Why not now?" I asked, confused again.
"You'll see why love, but for now, you and me have hours to spend together," Edward whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I nodded and snuggled into Edward as he gathered me into his arms and sped to the meadow.
We spent the rest of the day there, just being with each other, talking about everything and relaxing.

APOV (Alexander)
My eyes blinked open as I yawned, looking around. I noticed a black haired beauty next to me with her head on my chest. I smiled running my fingers through her silky hair. I kissed her head and lied back, now noticing the spacious coffin as last night's events came back to me.
Coming to the Cullens house, Edward's Volvo being crushed by a semi truck, having Carlisle ask me questions about being a traditional vampire, then going to sleep in Raven's bed. I smiled softly at the deathly pale-skinned Gothic Angel next to me.
Shifting a bit, I eased the coffin lid open, the attic room still dark so it doesn't bother Raven, and climbed out, then closed the lid softly again. I went to my bag and looked through it, wanting to look nice for Raven's family but not wanting to seem like I'm trying too hard and I want to look as proud as I am about being Goth.
Shuffling through the clothes, I finally chose a striped and distressed long sleeve shirt that had holes in it, and black cargo mesh pants. To complete it, I pulled on some all black Chuck Taylor converse sneakers. Running my fingers through my hair and going into Raven's bathroom, to brush my teeth and finish my normal waking routine.
After I finished with that, I kissed Raven on the forehead and headed downstairs to give her some peace.
I looked back up at the attic and sighed. How I wish Raven was awake. Suddenly, my nose was assulted with my favorite breakfast. Raw steak! My mouth watered and I rushed down the remaining steps into the kitchen, where Jameson was placing a plate with the bloody steak on the counter. Esme was behind him.
"Are you sure I shouldn't cook that?" Esme asked uncertainly. I know I shocked her when I arrived out of no where and started knawing on the steak.
"No it's perfect! As always, thank you Jameson," I grinned at the butler. He grinned and went somewhere else in the house. Esme stayed behind watching me as I eat my yummy, bloody steak. I raised an eyebrow at her, kind of rude I know but as I was going to ask her what she was looking at, a human's scent crossed my nose. I sniffed and lifted my head.
"I'm just going to grab something to drink Edward, jeesh!" a human girl's voice said as it neared the kitchen. My shyness got me and I hid behind the bar, leaving my meat half eaten at my seat. "Hi Esme," the voice greeted.
"Hello Bella dear, did you need something?" Esme replied softly. So this is Edward's mate? I stood up silently and watched the two talk. Bella must have felt my stare because she turned to look at me and screamed. I covered my ears and backed away hissing. After a few seconds, Raven came flying down and straight to me.
"Are you okay my love?" she asked, knowing my hearing is a little more sensitive than theirs. I shrugged and buried my face into Raven's neck, listening to the heart beat and rush of blood, which she left running since she knew the sound calmed me down. "What the hell were you thinking screaming like that?" Raven growled at Bella.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! I was just shocked and I reacted," the human girl stuttered. Raven growled and took my hand, pulling me outside.
"Edward make sure that human girl of yours remembers to not be so loud or I'll do it myself," Raven hissed at Edward as we left.
Raven led me to a meadow, that dipped into a river gently, filled with swaying grass and surrounded by pine trees. It was hidden by slightly rocky mountain sides. It was beautiful, but it was shadowed by the beauty of Raven standing in the middle of the meadow.
I walked up to her and kissed her passionately. Raven wrapped her arms around me and an unexpected thought ran through my head.
Do I really want to become one of Raven's kind?
RPOV (Raven)
I blinked my eyes open, alone in my coffin. I smelled Alexander's scent downstairs along with raw meat and smiled. Jameson must've made his breakfast.
Getting out of the coffin, I noticed an outfit waiting for me on my dresser. It was a dress that had a tail at the bottom on one side, making it longer on that side, with wedge converse shoes and a black angel heart necklace. A black purse was next to it. I shook my head as I got dressed. No doubt Alice put these out for me. At least she isn't trying to make me where hot pink clothes.
Suddenly there was a scream downstairs and heard a familiar hiss. Alexander! Running downstairs, I saw Bella next to Esme, staring wide eyed at my Alexander, who had his hands over his ears. I growled at the brunette and hugged Alexander to me, asking if he was okay. He just shrugged and buried his face into my neck, no doubt listening to the blood and heart beat that I was using by my human gift. I glared at the human girl, making her cower. "What the hell were you thinking screaming like that?" I growled.
She tried to excuse herself but I didn't listen. I know my brother and family told her about me and Alexander being here, she had no reason to scream like that. I brought Alexander outside with me, after threatening Edward about his mate. I might be a bit irrational about the whole thing but that girl made my mate, my mate, upset! I brought Alexander to my special meadow, the one that I would go to if I was staying with the Cullens, and wanted to get away.
Suddenly, Alexander was giving me a passionate kiss which I happily recieved. Suddenly, I felt upset about Alexander becoming one of my kind of vampires. I didn't want this to end. There must be a way for him to stay his type of vampire and come into the sunlight. He's already immortal, he stopped aging last year.
I mean, I don't want him to change, I realize that now... My eyes closed. But he wants to become one of our kind, and I'll do anything to make him happy.
Anything for my one love, Alexander.
Well there we have it. Raven seems reluctant to change Alexander now. Alexander is now unsure if he wants to become that kind of vamp.
Bella seems to have upset Raven. What will happen now?
Review and find out.
Oh and to my love, thank you for being my beta :) You are awsum!
