going. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Royce woke up and shivered. The wind was blowing across his bare body and he was still lying on top of Rayne. He looked at her face and smiled. He couldn't remember the last time he'd seen her peaceful face. She was so beautiful when she was asleep. He kissed her on softly on the cheek and got up.
He located his clothing and began to get dressed when Rayne stirred. He looked at her and she smiled up at him.
"So that's what it's like?" She asked. "I don't understand why we didn't do it sooner. We were waited for marriage, I supposed. But do you think that if we'd known that we were going to die, that we wouldn't have waited?" Royce laughed on the inside. Rayne was very inquisitive. That was another thing that had managed to slip his mind.
"I guess we wouldn't have waited. But who knows. You could've gotten pregnant. Neither of us would have been ready for that. We were right to wait. Now was the perfect time. It all felt perfect," Royce explained. Rayne's eyes sparkled, but she frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Is it normal to lust for blood?" She asked curiously.
"I lust for the kill, but not blood. I think that might have something to do with the whole being a vampire thing," Royce said, indicating the marks on Rayne's neck. "Unless you're Ryan. He would be the expectation."
"Oh. Okay." She continued to frown. Royce touched her cheek with his bad hand and she looked up into his eyes. "I need blood." Her eyes were pleading with him.
"We'll find you some blood, Darling. Let's get dressed and then I'll take you to meet the others," Royce said excitedly. He couldn't wait to show her off.
In a daze, Rayne got dressed and then walked toward the cemetery with Royce.
~*~*~
The other eleven ghosts sat at the cemetery and talked about many things.
"So we're going after that Master guy, today?" Billy asked the others.
"That's our plan. We're going to kill him off so we don't have to worry about him coming back with more people and trying to send us to some evil Hell dimension," Dana explained.
"What 'bout these dreams erbody's been havin?" George asked.
"I don't know. I haven't had any, but Dana showed me hers. All I remember is the lesbians," Breaker replied.
"You had da dreams, too?" George asked Dana. She looked away.
"Yeah. I don't know what the hell it was. There were too women. One of them was the leader of their group. They all either wore red or purple robes. They saw me or something. They were following this orb... This glowing orb. But they said that a ghost was watching. I'm a ghost and I was watching, so I assumed it was me," Dana answered. Everyone looked puzzled as they watched George and Dana for some kind of an answer.
"I dunno. This don't sound good. It jus don't," George said, shaking his head.
"There's gotta be a reason that both of you had dreams about the same people. Were the dreams different?" Susan asked.
"Yes, they were," Isabella said. Everyone looked at her in confusion. Everyone except for George. "George told me about it back in the junkyard. This was before he told us that we had to save Royce's ass. I didn't want to get involved with this! I should've just fucking left you all!"
"Then why won't you just fucking GO!" Ryan hissed. "I'm so fucking tired of hearing you complain about fucking everything! Just fight and kill! That's what it's all about! Not about fucking complaining about shit!" Ryan laughed after this.
"What about Royce and his girlfriend?" Margaret asked. "Where are they and when will they be returning?" Ryan looked at her with his psychotic, cold blue eyes and laughed harder.
"He fucked her! I saw them! They did it in the woods! I wanted to... I wanted her body! But I left them alone. There are plenty of other whores!" Ryan cried.
Breaker pointed and everyone turned around to see Royce and a familiar female figure coming toward them. Dana looked at Rayne and sort of pouted.
"She's so beautiful. You can see how pure she is. There's like a white light around her. I wish I were that beautiful," Dana said. Susan put her hand on Dana's shoulder.
"I guess it depends on your definition of natural beauty. She's pretty, but she's no model. You should've been a model, Dana. I've always envied you for that. Ever since I first saw you in the basement," Susan said.
"Don't be so jealous! She's just a girl! Very pretty... but just another girl!" Little Billy exclaimed. Dana and Susan looked down at him and smiled. Susan patted him on the head and he angrily swung at her. Margaret restrained him until he regained his temper.
"Hey guys!" Royce exclaimed excitedly. "This is Rayne." Rayne smiled shyly and looked around at everyone. She clung to Royce's arm as he continued to introduce her. "This is Jimmy. He's awesome. Then there's George. He's the one that filled all of the heads with garlic. He's the one that convinced everyone else to come to Jimmy and my aid. This is Breaker. You should watch him kill. You'll never have an urge to kill after you see him. It satisfies almost anybody. Except for our exception here." Royce brought Rayne over to Ryan.
"This is Ryan. He's a mad rapist. It's insane and also very cool," Royce explained. Rayne smiled timidly and he howled at her. Her eyes widened and she hid behind Royce. Ryan began to laugh sadistically. "You'll get used to him. This is Susan. She a sweet girl and always someone to talk to. This is Dana. She gets a bit jealous of the beauty of others. She'll love you, though. How could she not? You're so loveable! Then there's little Margaret and her son, Harold. You've never seen a mother and son so strange yet so perfect. They're a good family. Then there's little Billy. He's like a little brother to the girls and a son and Margaret right now." He looked at Rayne to make sure he hadn't lost her and she smiled weakly. She couldn't remember having seen a group of people that had been as physically gruesome as this bunch.
"Finally, there's Isabella. I don't like her and you're not expected to like her," Royce said. Rayne elbowed him and looked at him with some darkness in her eyes.
"Royce Andrew! Your parents never raised you to be so rude! I don't know where you got it from!" Rayne cried. Everyone except Royce and Rayne laughed at this. He was being reprimanded! They never would've thought that boy could be controlled. Rayne smiled at Isabella.
"I'm sorry he has to be so rude. I guess he lost his manners along with his life," Rayne said. Royce looked at her angrily and shoved her. Rayne pushed back and then moved away from him.
"It's quite alright dear. I understand entirely. This really is a wonderful girl you've got here, Royce," Isabella said, her eyes gleaming with mischief. She just loved being a bitch.
"I don't think I've got her..." Royce whispered. Rayne looked up sadly.
"Royce, please come here," Rayne muttered. He didn't really hear her, but he could feel what she was saying and followed here.
"What?" He snapped.
"You're a bit different. It's been a long time and I know. I can accept it, but it's going to take a little bit of time. I don't want to control you. I don't think that's fair. Just know that I'm having a hard time, okay?" She whispered.
"You embarrassed me out there! I'm stuck with them and they're going to joke me about this! I had a reputation and you've taken that away!" Royce cried.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean anything by it! I-I love you!" Rayne cried back as she turned around and attempted to run. However, she got about two steps away before she was frozen in place. "What is this?"
"Rayne!" Royce shouted. A dark smoke began to swirl around everything and no one could see anything.
'Rayne' The darkness hissed. She recognized the voice and cried out.
"NO!" Her cry was in pain and fear and Royce realized this. He ran into the smoke where he'd hear her voice and shouted again. He couldn't see her but he could hear her. Her voice kept growing fainter and fainter until it disappeared altogether. With it went the smoke as well.
"What the fuck?" Breaker shouted as they all came to Royce.
"He took her. FUCK YOU!" Royce called out to the sky.
He had her. He'd had her right there and she'd been his. Now the Master had taken her again. He didn't know where but he knew that he had to save her. He wasn't going to ruin his love by just ignoring it all again. This was the beginning of the second battle and this one they planned to finish.
