Hi everyone! My name is Laney. I've decided to try out writing another fan fic and hopefully this time it will go better than the last. Last time I wrote I didn't get many reviews at all and it was very very disappointing. I hope that this time will be a little bit more different than the last. I am writing based on L.J. smith. No I do not own her or her thoughts and ideas. But I do own my characters and my muses. I hope you enjoy the story and please please review. (I started writing this story quite some time ago but I've decided to re-post it because I have been absent for quite some time, but now I'm back and I hope you will all enjoy!)

Darkness:

Raven groaned. Her body felt heavy, she tried to lift her head but found that she couldn't. A feeling of despair overwhelmed her when she opened her eyes but found she could not see. Desolate shadows crept across her vision; none focusing enough to give her any reason to believe someone was there.

Raven could feel the panic inside herself weighing her down even more. Where was she? This wasn't her bedroom.

She could feel a warm wetness spreading through her clothing, seeming to soak her all the way to the bone. Was she outside? She could feel a gentle wind blowing about her, ruffling her long midnight hair and causing it to spill around her face like water rippling in a pond.

A sudden stifling pain shot through her abdomen and caused a scream to bubble up in Ravens throat.

What's wrong? What's happening to me?

Squeezing her eyes shut Raven hissed in pain. When she opened them again; eerie green eyes met hers. It was a boy. A boy with inhuman beauty and eyes Raven had never seen before, but yet she recognized this boy though she couldn't seem to recall his name.

"Who…" she managed to whisper, tears of pain leaking down her cheeks. She stared in wonder as the boys eyes transformed from the fierce green color to a misty gray color instead. The fierceness was replaced with sorrow and despair. She watched as tears welled in the boy's eyes.

"Why are you crying?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper.

"I'm so sorry Raven…I'm so sorry." The boy sobbed. She could feel his hands pressing down on the pain in her abdomen and she frowned. What was happening? Why was he so sad? Why was she having problems breathing?

Slowly Raven raised her hand, bringing it up to brush her fingertips over the boys tears which had spilled out of his eyes and down his cheeks. Without even knowing where the words were coming from, Raven spoke.

"I love you Kean…don't forget me." And with that she took one of his hands in hers and squeezed it. Her eyes widened in shock and horror as she noticed the red liquid dripping from his hand. Blood? She suddenly knew what the wetness was. She suddenly knew why the boy was crying. She was going to die.

I hope you enjoyed the story so far, im sorry its so short. Im only going to be writing a couple chapters at a time. I really appreciate structural criticism and I love to hear from you guys so please review! Thank you all so much and I hope to hear from you in future reviews.

Laney.
