*disclaimer* We both know I don't own people, so leave me alone. Okay, good. No sueing either.

" There is a severe tornado warning for the Front Royal area. Everyone be war-" Chrissy turned off the television and sighed.

" Great," she muttered. " The power will go out, won't it?"

***

" Tornado warning?" Marie looked over to her husband Mark who didn't answer. " That's where Chrissy is, in Front Royal."

Mark sighed. " Whaddya want me to do 'bout it?"

Frowning, Marie asked, " I don't know, maybe call her and make sure she's okay."

He grabbed his phone and dialed. A few moments later, he said, " No answer."

Marie frowned play with her hair. " I don't like this."

" AH! Glen, Chrissy is all-alone in Front Royal. " Gwen cried, clutching Elmer close to her chest, her whimpering, and him quacking up a storm.

Glen sighed. " Raven is out there. He's going to see her."

Gwen frowned, petting Elmer who looked up at her questioningly and then quacked. " I'm afraid, Glen…" She quieted and looked out the window. It was getting dark and quick.

***

Raven looked up at the odd house in the middle of twenty acres of land. He figured it was her house, seeing her Trans Am in the driveway. Not seeing lights surprised him. He knew Chrissy hated the darkness and outside it was getting dark rapidly. Raven started to walk up to the house, and then knocked on the door. It slowly creaked open. " Christina?" He yelled in.

No answer.

He walked in warily, a little bit worried for a moment. No one around… He called out her name again. Still no answer. He walked down and saw an open door and a pair of stairs. " Christina?" he yelled down there.

He heard a whimpered cry and then a moan of terror. It had to be her. He looked down. It was almost pure darkness. He walked down the stairs and kept one hand on the wall. " Christina… are you okay?"

" Raven?"

He heard the pleading in her voice. " Where are you?"

" Go… go right from the stairs, another right into the room and then go left, straight… and I'll be right there…" She whimpered again, the darkness trapping her.

Raven followed her directions, his hands reaching out to touch the walls and he heard her heavy, quick breaths. He bent down and felt around for her hand. " Christina… it's okay… I'm right here."

She didn't respond. Couldn't now; fear was taking over her body.

He sat down next to her carefully and held her close for a second, just trying to reassure her. " C'mon, we have to get out of here. There's a tornado coming and I don't think we want to meet if it does come here." He tried to coax her to move, but she wouldn't. Finally, he sighed, and just picked her up.

Chrissy squeaked and covered her head. He was going to hit her into the door; she knew it.

Raven carried her out the room slowly and made sure not to hit her, and then walked up the stairs with her. He put her down at the top of the stairs, and looked up at her, wiping the tears off her cheeks with his thumb. " You okay, Christina?'

Barely nodding, she looked up at him. " I thought you weren't coming."

" Glen asked me to. Tornado… we should leave soon." He looked towards the door, distracted.

Christina nodded and stood up on shaking feet. She felt his hands steady her and help her out of her house. She pulled her keys out of her pocket and gave them to Raven. " Drive my baby, it'll go faster than that car." She looked towards the rental Ford accusingly.

He grinned and looked at her Trans Am. He didn't say anything, helped her over into the passenger side, then quickly skipped over to the drivers side. He jumped in the car quickly, and turned it on.

Chrissy grimaced. She didn't know if it was a good idea to let him drive her baby car. " Be careful, this is an V8 engine you know, and don't think that I didn't have a fun time adding a few things."

" I know." He said simply, backed up quickly, and sped down the gravel road. " We'll have fun." Raven quickly turned the sharp corner, then asked, " Are you okay?"

She nodded. " I … I cant' stand the dark, you know that it scares me. Uhm… thanks." She whispered.

He shrugged. " You would of have done it for me."

Laughing, Chrissy shrugged. " I would have comforted you, but I don't think I could drag you up the stairs."

" Thanks, making fun of my weight now." He pouted a bit, then burst into laughter.

Chrissy smirked. " You know you're cute, you're just fishing for compliments."

" It can't hurt to try." He grinned over at her.

Chrissy liked this. It was nice and… normal for once, but it didn't explain why he had come really, other than Glen had asked him. " Why were you here… just because of Glen asking you?"

" Well… everyone is worried. YOU didn't answer you phone and Glen was ready to storm your house."

" That's my brother." Chrissy said happily. It was nice to know he did care.

***

Raven took her to a hotel an hour away. Chrissy immediately called him next to her to watch a pay-per-view movie. IT was awful.

" I hate romantic comedies." She muttered.

" Oh it could be worse. It could be America's Sweethearts." He laughed and threw his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer.

Chrissy covered her ears, shaking her head. " That was the worst movie in the world. The only thing as bad as that was "IT" and that was a horror movie. I was very sad for my genre… you know what they should have? Romantic horror."

Raven laughed. " So two people loving each other through killing people?"

" Possibly, but maybe she could fall in love with the disturbed killer, who is so misunderstood." Chrissy sighed dreamily, thinking of the many "fun" serial killers she liked to watch.

" Weirdo." Raven grinned

" You should talk, Skirty."

" You know you like my kilt." He grinned at her.

" Skirt.

" Kilt."

" SKIRT."

" KILT."

" I said SKIRT!" She growled and then started to laugh. " You have glasses!"

He eyed her oddly. " Loser, you're changing the subject 'cuz you know I'm right."

Christina wasn't going to dignify that with an answer and simply took off his glasses carefully and then looked at them. She jumped off the bed, running with his glasses. " You can't see, so I'm right." She giggled evilly from the bathroom, where she was hiding.

Raven shook his head. He could see, but he wasn't going to burst her bubble. Crazy woman, and he followed her into the bathroom. " I'm right Christina." He stepped closer to her.

She looked up at him, a little bit afraid of… nothing. Chrissy wanted him, damn Rave. He was too sweet and too cute. She hated it, but she wanted… something again. She guessed it was a relationship, but she wasn't going to mention that. IT frightened her… just the simple thought, not even the act.

Raven pulled the glasses out of her hands and easily put them on the counter and cornered her against the wall. Looking down into her eyes, he got lost, in the beauty of her. She had told him how she spent hours some day, just working out because she wanted to make herself feel more energized, just to make herself happy.

She hadn't been perfect… she wasn't perfect. She was flawed like everyone else, she wasn't too thin like Stacy or Torrie… or any of the divas. She was beautiful as she was and she was happy looking like that. That's why he liked her, because as much as people forced themselves to be beautiful, she could care less if she walked around in her pajamas or an Armani dress with stiletto's. Either way, she was happy.

Chrissy watched him. Pretty man… she couldn't help like him. Who didn't? He was sweet, caring… not to mention cute. Superficial, yes, but all love was based on some superficial ness. Although, Chrissy didn't like him for his looks at first. She just thought he was sweet and he kind of grew on her, like Skittles had, even though he had been… confusing. Most men were confusing, Chrissy knew that from experience, and she was dealing with one of the hardest right now.

Raven kissed her and everything else was forgotten. The world, the fear… the tornado… nothing could come between either of them right now. Nothing.

***

Raven looked down to Chrissy, whose head was lying on his chest. He stroked her hair. He adored her, he really did. She was sweet, but she different. She wasn't "different", but she had emotions and real things. He couldn't explain it to anyone, but she would probably understand.

Chrissy stirred and looked up at him sleepily. " Stop staring, freak." She laughed quietly.

" You're so abusive…" he laughed and kissed her forehead.

" You know you like it; need someone to take control of you. Dominmatrix?" She laughed evilly and then shook her head. " No, wait, that's not me…"

He nodded. " Good."

She punched him in the arm, hard, and yawned. " Go to sleep."

" Can't."

Chrissy sighed. " Why not? Aren't you tired?"

" Probably…" he quieted.

" Stop thinking Raven, thinking is bad when you think about things you shouldn't be thinking about."

Raven laughed. " Yeah… it is bad."

Chrissy watched him. She knew he was thinking about her, she just didn't know what, yet. " What is it?"

" I uhm… John."

" John?" Chrissy grimaced. She didn't want to talk about John. Not now, not ever.

Raven nodded, stroking her hair. " You knew about…"

" Groupies? Yeah, I knew… I knew for three years… I haven't had sex in about 6 years…" She laughed. " Pathetic, but John just never needed me around. Why, when he could have a sweet little eighteen-year-old over me?" She sighed, a little bit more depressed. She hated the fact that he had used her, but the past was past.

Raven sighed. " I shouldn't have asked."

"No, no, it's okay… you have a right to know." She laid her head back down on her chest. "You… you wouldn't do that, would you?" She asked, her voice trembling. Chrissy never wanted to believe that he could do something like that.

"No… Never." He swore to her. He wouldn't do that… never.

Chrissy phone rang and she groaned. " If it's Basi, I'm going to kick the living crap outta' here when I find her." She picked up the phone and mumbled, " Hello?"

"Chrissy. HI! It's me, Gwen!"

"Hi Gwen… what's up?"

"Oh… uhm… we have some good news."

"We?" She looked over to Raven, who just shrugged.

"Glen and I… well… okay, I'll just say it. I'm pregnant… with twins!" She cried happily.

Chrissy coughed almost dropping the phone. She handed to Raven without a word. Twins? Jesus Christ, she was going to be an aunt. Chrissy shook her head, covering her eyes. Why were none of her days ever normal?
