Prom Night
It was 7 o'clock pm as Richard started up the steps to Rachel's house. He was so nervous, everyone is. Richard soon found him self getting hot under the collar of his formal tuxedo. He finally reached the top level of the stone steps outside the house. Richard knocked on the green paint, worn out door. He couldn't take the heat much longer, he stuck a finger down the collar and pulled. He made a muffled cough sound as he pulled the collar away from his neck. He soon heard foot steps, locks undoing themselves and the door swung open a foot. It was Rachel's mother at the door, her face turned from a straight, worried face into a smile.
"Hello Richard." her voice was soft and sweet. "Come on in." She stepped back and kept the door with her, she opened the door so he could step in. Once he was passed the door's line of fire she closed the door and locked it. Ms Roth turned and walked over to a night stand that had a small piece of paper on it, she wrote something on to the paper and handed it to Richard. "This is incase you drink or need a ride home." Richard gratefully took the paper and skimmed it quickly.
"Alright." he sighed as he put the piece of paper in to his left side pocket. "I'm betting there won't be any drinks at the dance, and besides, I don't drink!" Richard put his hands up slightly by his shoulders confessing that he was innocent.
"Well still you never know." she stated, she got a bigger grin on her face. "Now," Her face became serious. "I want her home before midnight, no dancing with other boys that are drunk or other boys period, she can not, I repeat, she can not have alcohol!" She was ticking things off her fingers, while Richard was nodding and listening... okay every once in a while. Soon a figure came in to Richard's line of view from the face of Ms Roth. Richard tilted his head to get a better view of the figure, Ms Roth saw this and turned around to see her daughter on the middle step of the stairs leading up the second floor. Richard's mouth hung open a bit, she was so beautiful. He soon snapped it shut. Rachel wore a black, strapless, dress, like Kitten's only black, you couldn't see her shoes it was so long, a centimeter above the ground it barely held. She had a thick, one inch choker around her neck, she wore little make up, just some eye liner, and shadow. Her hair was up in a high bun with her bangs framing her delicate face. She had no jewelry on which drew your eye away, but the way she looked was so amazing you wouldn't think this was the same girl that got pushed around in school.
"Hi." she said softly, a blush lit up her face. She looked down away from Richard, a small smile appeared on her face. Richard walked around her mother and walked to the bottom of the stair case and held out his hand. The young woman slowly walked down the rest of the flight and placed her hand, lightly, in to the young man's. As soon as she reached the first floor level she stopped right in front of Richard and looked at him. He bowed low and brought her hand up to his face.
"You look beautiful, Rae." he mumbled. He kissed her hand. This made her blush more.
"Oop! Would you look at the time!" Ms Roth was being sarcastic when she said this. "You two need to hurry up or you'll miss the dance!" she shoed them out the door. Rachel snatched her coat and was pushed out the door by her mother. The door slammed shut behind them. Rachel slid on her coat and wrapped her arms around her tight. Richard had already been down at the bottom of the stone steps.
"Shall we go ma' lady?" Richard had a horrible English accent and he bowed low to Rachel. She giggled a bit, she put her hand over her mouth and let a god laugh or two out. Richard looked up from his low position. He grinned and stood up straight. He turned and opened the passenger side of his black jaguar. Rachel, mean while, had ceased her laughing fit and walked down the steps and walked over to the car and got in, she pulled her dress over the rim and made sure it wouldn't get caught, he closed the door. He sighed, "this is going to be the best night of my life." he muttered. As he walked around the car to get in and drive the car.
At the Prom
The two had walked in the front doors of the building which held the dance. Rachel left her coat in the car, why would she need it? She'd be hot any ways. Richard, he wasn't smart enough to bring one. The room held a big dance floor, with tons of people on it dancing to a rock/pop type of beat, the lights were mild colors but still they could get you dizzy by looking at them for to long, the music was turned up, but not too loud so that your ear drums busted. The DJ was holding one ear phone up to one ear and picking up disks and placing them on a player for the next song. There was a space for chatting and hanging out, and there were tables in one corner of the room, and a little buffet, in case you got hungry or thirsty. The two walked in to the noisy room and got lost in the crowd. Rachel wrapped her arms around Richard's arm so that she wouldn't loose him, she buried her face in to the back of his arm and closed her eyes tight.
Richard stopped and looked down at her, "Hey, it's okay. I'm not going to leave you." He assured. Rachel looked up and smiled.
"I'm not comfortable." she stated in a soft voice. "Could we got sit down?" She looked around then up at his face again. He smiled and nodded. They sauntered their way over to where the tables were and sat down at an open one. After a couple minutes, after they sat down, they were quite, then Rachel spoke, "I'm sorry. I'm just not used to big crowds." She whispered and looked down at her lap.
"Don't worry." Richard replied. He sat back in his chair. "I don't dance right away either." Rachel looked even more down then she could. Richard raised and eye brow, leaned forward in his chair, and leaned on the table as close to her as he could get with the table in the way. "You... can't dance... can you?" he asked softly, not harsh. Rachel straightened out her arms so that her hands could touch her knees, she shrugged her shoulders, too.
"Alright, boys and girls! Time to turn down the lights, and relax." just as the DJ said that the lights turned down and a slow song started to play.
Richard got up and walked over to Rachel's side. He bowed and stuck out his hand, "May I have this dance?" Rachel shyly smiled and put her hand in his. He pulled her up and they walked to the dance floor, hand in hand. Half way in they found an area that was big enough for them. Richard turned and faced her.
"I don't know how." She stated coyly.
"Then I'll show you." Richard stated. "Take your left hand and put it on my shoulder." Rachel, being a good girl, did as she was told. Richard placed his right hand on her waist, she took a sharp in take of air when he did. "Okay, take your right hand and place it in my left." Richard raised his left hand a foot away from their bodies. Rachel looked at it then slid her hand in his, he closed his fingers around hers, firm yet gentle. "Okay, just follow my lead." Richard lead them to the beat of the music. Rachel had to look down to see where her feet were going. "It's easier if you look up." Rachel's head shot up to meet his, she blushed. After a couple minutes of this, Rachel moved her arms to go around his neck, and bring their bodies closer. Richard encircled his arms behind her waist. She placed her head on his lower neck, while he placed his head on top of hers. They stayed like this for what felt like forever. They soon were ripped from each others arms and forced to day with some one else, Rachel didn't like this one bit, neither did Richard.
"Richard!" Rachel screamed. She tried to push her body away from the man who held her captive. "Get away from me!" she snarled. "Let... me... go!" she pounded into his chest with her fists. She struggled against him for who knows how long.
Richard was getting dragged away from Rachel. Finally the person stopped and turned him to face the person. "Kori!" he gasped, as he looked up from the collision.
"Why Richard! I didn't think you'd be here!" She said sarcastically. She quickly wrapped her arms around his neck, keeping him there. Richard heard his name being shouted across the room. Richard tried to look but Kori turned his head back to face her's. "It's not worth it to worry over her." Kori sneered. Richard tried to look again but Kori stopped him. "She's not for you." she moved in and forcefully kissed him. Richard was shocked.
Rachel saw this happen, she felt weak, "Let me go." She tried one last time, nothing.
Richard pushed Kori away forcefully. "What the hell was that for?" He screamed. Richard turned his back on her and went back to Rachel. Once there, "Let her go." he said forcefully. The man holding Rachel let her go. She felt weak and limp, she could barely stand. "You okay Rachel?" He asked as he caught her before she fell.
"I'll be fine." Rachel whispered.
"I'm gonna take you home." Richard stated as they started to walk out the door. Once they got in the car Rachel leaned on to Richard's arm while he was driving. Richard patted her back and let go of the wheel before his arm fell asleep. Rachel soon fell asleep and stayed like that for the rest of the ride.
Rachel's House
"Hey, Rachel. Wake up." she felt some one shaking her.
"Huh?" Rachel mumbled as she woke up, half groggy.
"Your home." Richard said, he turned off the engine and opened the car door. Rachel sat up before he got up, he slammed the door and walked around to Rachel's side door and opened it for her. She snatched her coat from the back and got out of the car and stretched.
"Thank you Richard." Rachel said as they walked up the stone steps and she opened the door. "I really enjoyed it." Rachel turned and was about to close the door. "Oh!" Rachel came out and kissed Richard on the lips. It was short and sweet, unlike Kori's which was tough and painful. Once they parted they both said their good byes and parted. Richard turned and walked to his car. He jumped up and threw his arm in the air, laughing triumphantly. He was so happy.
Rachel leaned against the door and heard Richard laugh with happiness. She smiled and walked up stairs to her room.
"How was the dance?" her mother asked.
"It was fun!" Rachel stated and closed the door to her room. She changed into her Raven custom. She looked at her phone, 1 message, and it was 10 at night. The caller was X. Raven sighed and teleported herself to the old ware house were X's hide out was.
Hide out
Once she appeared and was soon knocked flat on her stomach. "What took you so long?" that mocking voice of his. "Tell me... what does Richard say to you?" X started to pace around the edge of light that surrounded Raven's form. "Does he whisper sweet nothings in your ear?" Rachel started to sit up, she sat on the side of her hip, she looked at the ground, trying to catch her breath. "Does he make you feel special?" Raven smiled in side but on the out side she felt terrible. "You know what will happen, don't you? He'll work his way down your neck, across your breasts, down your stomach, and once he get what he wants, he'll throw you away like the dog you are."
"That's not true!" Raven whispered angrily.
"Oh, it's very true, and you know it!" X mocked. "He'll make you feel special and make you feel wanted, then once he gets in deep enough... He'll rip out your heart!" He said in a sickening voice.
"No... no... no!" Raven chanted over and over again. Then she thought about what happened at the prom, but he walked away from Kori, angry, he didn't like her.
"Oh you know this! And every little detail it lad you closer and closer to your heart being ripped out again."
Raven started to chuckle softly, then it turned in to maniac laughter.
"What's so funny?" X was now on guard, he didn't like where this was going.
"You don't know what your talking about do you?" She chuckled, evilly.
"Shut up wench!" X came and scratched her across the face. Her hood flew off and she had 4 long lines across her cheek, bleeding.
Raven thought about what X said as she faded threw the floor in to her own room. He maybe right, but, there was so much to show that he really cared for her, did he really love her or was he playing with her for Kori's amusement?
