Chapter 6.
Raven went home as her mom had asked her too, but she did not call Rosa right away. Instead she went home and cried and slept. When she awoke it was about 2:00 am and it was still very dark. She thought about getting up and eating but she knew there was no way she would be able to get some sleep. When she walked downstairs she stifled a scream for there sitting on her couch was Simon. It took her a moment to get over the shock of him sitting there and when she did she wasn't sure what to say. Finally he looked over at her and smiled.
"Hey sleepy I was wondering if you would wake up before I left."
She looked at him a little shocked; "How long have you been here? I know you weren't here when I went to bed."
He smiled "Well of course I wasn't here then it was still day light outside."
She sighed and nodded. That was true if what he had told her was true then he would not be able to go out in the daylight. She just sighed and nodded her understanding still trying to think of something to do about her mother. She sighed and sat down trying to think. Then she remembered her manners.
"Would you like something to drink?" She asked getting up intending to her herself something even if he wanted nothing. She looked at him and he shook his head no.
"No thank you I can not drink or eat human food. But thank you for the offer."
She nodded and walked into the kitchen to fetch herself something to drink. When she walked back out into the living room Simon was looking at a picture of her mom and her during her 18th birthday party. She looked at him and thought back to those days when she really didn't have a care in the world except for shopping school, friends, and other important things in a teen's life. She came back to the present and noticed that he was now looking at her.
"Who is this?" he asked casually
She sighed, "That would be my mother and me. She sighed and went and sat on the couch to drink her soda.
He came over and sat with her and looked at her as if trying to read her mind or something. She looked at him and sighed.
"So was there something special you needed done or are you just here for the heck of it?" she asked trying to figure out something about him. When he didn't answer she sighed and tried to think of something else to say but it did not work. So instead he talked.
"I am here cause you said I could come back and talk to you when I felt like it and I did fill like it right now so I came. Besides I didn't like the idea of you being here alone when there is so many killers out there."
She looked at him. " Aren't you a killer yourself?" She smiled at him reaction which was a look that was like ' Oh yeah I am aren't I ohh well lets not bring that up. She just smiled and raised her eyebrow, as she is known to do when she is laughing silently. He sighed/
" Well yes technically I am a killer too but I don't kill I only drink human blood when I absolutely haft to other than that I use animals. I swear." He looked at her as if hoping she would believe him. She smiled and nodded. " Ok so what is it you want to talk to me about? She asked. He sighed again. A habit he seemed to have a lot.
" Well I wanted to talk to you about helping me do something. If you wouldn't mind the only problem is its very dangerous and now that I think about it I don't think I really want to involve you into this." She looked at him "What is it you want me to do?" He looked at her and stood up. "Forget it I could never involve you in this. This is my fight not yours." She stood up and glared at him very annoyed at him now.
" What do you mean never mind!!?? You come over here in the dead of night and ask me for my help even though my mom is in the hospital dying as we speak of a cancer that cant be cured because she is to far gone. And then despite my better judgment I ask what it is you want me to help you with you sit there and tell me never mind then fine get out of my house Simon I don't want to see you right now." With that she ran into the kitchen crying something she could not do earlier. Simon just sat there stunned for a few minutes. Her mom was dying well that explained why she was acting the way she was. He could not decide weather or not to go in and comfort her or not. Finally he got up and followed her into the kitchen. He found her sitting at the table with her head down. She did not seem to be crying anymore but you could never tell with women. Or so he had heard from others who knew women for he did not talk to humans or anyone for that matter if he could help it. He walked over to her
"Hey are you ok Raven?" she did not awnser him right away she just sat there for a while. When she did look up her eyes were swollen and red from crying. She sighed " Yah ill be fine im sorry I didn't mean to snap at you like that its just that im so over tired right now." Simon nodded and looked out the kitchen window. It was almost dawn he should head to his hiding spot so he would not be caught in the sun. The only problem was he did not want to leave her here like this. Raven looked at the time and gasped it was almost 5:00 am. "Simon shouldn't you be getting somewhere safe from the sun?" she asked. He nodded. "Yes I should but I don't want to leave you like this. She smiled. " Ill be fine I promise go hide ill see you later I suppose." he nodded and turned to leave. And raven went back to bed.
