Love and Betrayal

A/N: Hey everyone! This is still my second fic and I'm hoping it will be as good as it can be. Please check out Chocolate Roses if you haven't already. It's a fic on CCS and it's coming out slow and steady.

Summary: Well, Raven's missed her flight, thanks to a Russian cab driver. But that's not all. She's not mad at him at all for delaying her departure! Oooohhhh, is Raven's cold heart finally being thawed out? And who is this Tala Valkov anyway?

Tala's P.O.V.

That Raven girl is probably the craziest girl I've ever met. But she's probably a nice person too. I wonder what it is with her past that bothers her?

Anyway, she washed my hanky out and there wasn't anything humid on it…to my relief. I know, I'm being mean, but who really blows their nose in someone else's hanky?

Lunch was great. Raven made an excellent Fettucine Alfredo with Creme Brulee as the desert. Who knew she could cook as good as an Italian/French chef? I wished I stayed longer with her, but duty calls and I can't stop it.

It was such a shame that he had truly wanted me to do this. Never had someone cooked up such an evil recipe for disaster. But then again, he pays handsomely for these things that I do best. And some part of Raven is supposed to be evil, so we'll see…

Raven's P.O.V.

I think that Russian boy is a cute guy. He's handsome and…what the freaking hell am I saying? I can't love anyone. Never, ever. I will never allow it in my sane mind. Just loving someone is wrong for me. And I can't get too close to anyone. Not with what's happening to me. I'd never forgive myself if I hurt him or anyone again.

Flashback

"Raven, will you, do you want to?" he asked, his voice deep.

Raven just sat there in the seat of the car. She thought about what would happen next. Then she wondered if it would happen; if he would even make a move.

The slate haired teen leaned towards her. She could feel his warm breath against her skin and it made her shiver, slightly. Then, his lips were on hers and her eyes widened. She didn't expect this at all. Then, she felt her hands burn and sparks shot out all around. Everything was a blur after that.

She woke up in her bedroom at home. Her parents were at work. It seemed as if nothing happened. But when she got into the kitchen, a magnet kept a note on the fridge. Nothing was on it; it was blank. But then, she knew it was for her. The words that appeared in front of her eyes shocked her, as each letter formed itself:

Raven Flyairth. You have the power to displace yourself. A rare gift possessed only by those, bonded with their bitbeasts…

She screamed.

(It's supposed to be unclear)

Rowan's P.O.V.

I am now fourteen years old. Life has been dreary since she left. She has been my best friend for seven years. But now, that's long gone. She left me there at her footsteps. Those last minutes of pain and sheer sorrow twisted my heart. I have been failing school and I have lost all my hopes and dreams. We promised each other, we would be friends forever. She promised to never leave me alone here. Were all those things she said lies? Were they all false? How could she deceive me like that?

Raven Flyairth, was someone I knew for a long time. We spent all our days together. We were happy; at least I was. What did I do to make her leave? I do not know. But I will find her again. And I will find the truth. No matter how long it takes.

As life must go on, I have been going to school every now and then. My parents don't support my skipping school and have decided to work all their extra hours, so they can stop communicating with me. So, I have been hanging at my new friends' homes and my grandparents'. It's lame and really bad, but what choice do I have?

School is a total, complete drag. I have the worst subjects: Math, Science, Art, Spanish, French and Drama. I used to be interested in these subjects but now I see, how truly lame they are.

However, the people in school aren't all bad. Just the other day, a foreign exchange student came.

"Class, we have a foreign exchange student with us. Mr. McGregor, please come in."

"Hey everyone, I'm Johnny McGregor." He said.

Just by the looks of him, he made me melt. That handsome face of his made all the girls faint. Ridiculous, I know. But if you were there, you'd see how true it was. The rest of the guys were pretty cool about having another dude to hang with. Everyone seemed to welcome him, warmly. He took the seat behind me. It was nice having him there. I could feel his warm breath against the back of my neck. He twirled my ponytails but I didn't mind. A little fun never hurt anybody.

So maybe school wasn't such a dud. Especially when a hot, European guy checks you out in every one of your classes! He's definitely on my wish list. But what are the chances of me, snagging him? I mean, there are so many girls in this school, who are prettier than me. And that phrase, 'It's what's on the inside that counts,' is so overrated. Nobody cares about that anymore. It's all about who's got a cute ass now. Or at least that's what guys want. Sighs.

Johnny's P.O.V.

I used to think leaving Europe was a big mistake. But now, I think it's a real blast here! Especially all the people I've met here. That girl, what's her name? Rowan, right. She's one cute chick. I've gotta get to know her better.

I've got to get Enrique, Robert and Oliver over here sometime.

Imagining Bubble (the little comic bubble that comes up when thinking)

"Hey pretty. I'm Enrique and you have the most beautiful eyes…"

Enrique takes a girl's hand and starts kissing it.

"Hi, I'm Jasmine. What's your name?" says a girl sitting beside Robert.

"I'm Robert." He says without a hint of irony.

Oliver and the teacher get caught up in their work and forget about the rest of the class.

Normal P.O.V.

Johnny shuddered at the thought.

"Okay, maybe not…"
