Watching Life Become Crimson Colors: Chapter 5

"Wow. I don't know what to say, Raven. That is..." She stops and starts smacking him. "The stupidest thing I ever heard!" Raven looks up in-between the hits and smiles. "Me? For me? Why?" She says as she continues hitting him.

"Because. It's true. When you were Mona. When you were Miss Madness. Even back then, I've know that you were the most beautiful thing, but too beautiful for me. I am the black shadow of death. You're a bright ray of sunshine. Different worlds. Spike was made for you. He's the same type of person like you. He never gives up. You beat him up, he'll just stand up for more. You and him weremade for each other." He says not looking up to look her in the eyes.

"That..." Raven gets ready for another smack. "That is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever said! I'm not going to agree with you about not being compatible with me, but what you're saying does make a little sense to me. I guess I should thank you for showing me the right way, huh?" She says her smile growing bigger.

"Naw. Your smile and the fact you didn't run away when I touched you is enough of a thanks." Raven stands up, brushes himself off, and puts his hands down to pull her up.
As she stands up, he kisses her on the top of the head and before she can look up, he is gone. She starts to smile and she feels much better as she goes back inside the party. Her mind is made up to where she'll stay... even if she still does have some doubt.

She doesn't see Spike standing in the shadows, looking like he's going to kill something. He has a Dudley temper, that's for sure. He saw Raven kiss Molly and now there will be hell to pay.
