The Night World:

"TYNE!" Kean's voice shouted as he bolted down the long winding stairs of the mansion, instead of hitting every step as he went down he jumped from the middle of the staircase where it started to curve and landed at the bottom with a thud, Raven clutched protectively in his arms.

A very short blond girl with gray eyes rushed into the room, her short honey colored hair falling in tufts around her face. The long black skirt that she wore twirled around her ankles and nearly caused her to trip.

"What? You nearly gave me a heart attack!" she scolded as she came to an abrupt stop as she saw Kean leap from the staircase.

"I need your blood . . . or rather . . . Raven does." Kean rushed his words, barely making any sense to Tyne, but just enough that she could understand the main parts of his words. She raised a delicate eyebrow and frowned slightly.

"Kean . . ."She breathed. "You are always doing this to me . . . pretty soon I'm not gonna have any blood left to give." She shook her head and walked over to raven, brushing her long dark hair away from her face.

"Please Tyne . . . I'll make it up to you . . . I promise." Kean rushed. As he made his way quickly into the living room where two huge maroon leather corner couches were waiting for him. He set Raven down gently on the larger of the two couches and took her hand in his.

"Alright alright. . . you know I could never say no anyway. . . you are my cousin and all." Tyne answered as she followed the two of them into the room, tugging up the sleeve of her shirt as she walked, revealing the pale skin of her wrist. Kean didn't seem to hear her because he was busy trying to get Raven to look at him.

"Raven . . . you have to eat now. . . Tyne is going to give you her wrist and you have to drink . . . alright?" Raven's eyes rolled around loosely, finally landing on Kean's worried face. She whimpered slightly and Kean frowned.

"Okay Tyne . . . hurry . . . she's so weak." Kean jumped to his feet and moved out of the way so Tyne could sit next to his soul mate.

"Well no wonder . . ." Tyne rolled her eyes casually. "She lost so much blood before you turned her it was a wonder I could heal her in the first place." And with that Tyne plopped down on the couch next to raven and placed her arm around her shoulders.

"Hi Hun. My name is Tyne, I'm your soul mates cuz, now drink up before he has a conniption fit." And with that, Tyne raked a long pointed fingernail across her left wrist and placed it in front of Ravens mouth. As soon as Raven saw the blood bubbling up out of the small cut she could feel her K-nine teeth elongate and push on her lower lip, she opened her mouth slightly, her tongue licking at her lips. She couldn't fight the sudden urge to just grab Tyne's wrist and drink until there was no blood left in her body. Slowly and with a shaky hand Raven took hold of Tyne's arm and brought her wrist closer to her lips. Her mind was screaming at her to stop. This just wasn't right. She was about to drink another person blood. But her body wouldn't listen to her minds cries. Besides. She reasoned with herself. I'm a vampire now . . . I have to drink blood. And with that last thought her tongue darted out and licked some of the blood off of Tyne's oozing wrist. As soon as the blood was in her mouth she couldn't seem to stop herself. The next thing she knew she was sinking her fangs into Tyne's delicate wrist and drinking to her hearts content. She could feel Tyne wince a bit and for a moment felt a stab of guilt wash over her. But the guilt was quickly washed away by the blood lust that overwhelmed her. She had to have more. The crimson liquid was pouring down her throat and she just couldn't get enough. All good things have to come to an end she realized when she felt Kean's hands pulling gently on her shoulders and she felt the Tyne's wrist leave her mouth. She quickly licked up the excess blood from her lips and blushed.

"Sorry dear . . . but that's enough. Otherwise I won't be able to heal myself later on." Tyne said; her voice melodic and gentle.

"I . . . I'm sorry . . . did I hurt you?" Raven asked, her eyes flashing with worry as her fangs slowly started to disappear. Tyne shook her head and grinned.

"Oh no, don't worry about it dear, your mate here is always bringin people by to feed offa me . . . I'm used to it by now." Tyne laughed and Raven couldn't help but grin as she looked over at Kean who was shaking his head in disbelief.

"That's not true and you know it." He muttered, his attention turning back to Raven.

"How are you feeling?" Kean could have kicked himself mentally, how was she feeling? She almost died and he was asking her how she was feeling! Raven felt herself blush at his words.

"Much better. Thank you…. both of you." She smiled. Tyne glanced between the both of them and rolled her eyes.

"Alright…. I'll take the hint…. you two just HAVE to be left alone now…." And with that she got up and sauntered out of the room, calling over her shoulder.

"I got some new spells to whip up anyway…. have fun children!" And with that she disappeared around the corner. Raven turned her head to face Kean as he flopped down on the couch beside her and wrapped his arm comfortably around her shoulders.

"Spells?" She asked, her brow knit in confusion. Kean sighed and shifted positions so he was half facing her and half leaning against the back of the couch.

"I guess I have a lot of explaining to do don't I?" Raven smiled as she reached for his hand and squeezed it gently.

"You can take your time…. but yes there is a lot I don't understand right now…. and I really need to know." Kean nodded and smiled slowly in return.

"Don't worry…. I'll explain everything. It's just…. some of it you may not want to hear." Raven nodded solemnly.

"That's what I expect." And with that Kean started to tell the tale of the night world and all the creatures in it; the good and the evil. He told her of circle Daybreak, which he was a current member of. He also spoke of the apocalypse and the end of the world. He finally told her of the wild powers, and when he got to this point he stopped. His eyes were searching hers worriedly. There was something he wasn't telling her. And Raven was determined to find out.

"So there are four wild powers right?" Raven asked once again. Kean nodded.

"And only three are found?" Kean nodded.

"Do you guys have any idea of who the fourth one is?" Kean nodded once again, his face looked sad.

"Who?"
