Raven's Pov.
"Raven?" A guy's voice said. I opened my eyes and looked at the guy.
It was Jagger.
"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me or something?" I said getting up and backing away from him.
Jagger frowned. "Please don't back away. And no I'm not stalking you. I just need to talk to you." He said.
Okay. Now he's confusing me. When he said that I thought he meant about me knowing he was a vampire. But when I looked closer at his face, I knew he was talking about something stronger.
"What's there to talk about? Me knowing you're a vampire?" I said.
Jagger was surprised at first but he smiled a smile that showed his fangs. "Your really smart to figure me out so fast. I thought I would have to explain what I was so you could understand what I want to talk about. But you beat me to that little information." He said.
So he defiantly was a vampire. But why would he need that to explain something?
"Explain what?" I said. Jagger's smile faltered a bit but he kept it on.
"Explain what we both are." He said.
"Okay now you're talking in riddles. Just get to the point." I said looking at my watch. Three minutes till my bus arrived.
"It looks like you're busy looking for Alexander. What? Is he like the love of your life or something?" Jagger asked looking like he was getting mad.
"Yes. He is the love of my life." I said but I didn't feel anything behind my words. And a felt a pang of guiltiness. But it wasn't for Alexander. It was what I just said to Jagger. What's going on?! I started feeling that pull like I did the last time I saw Jagger.
"Why do you want to know?" I said taking a small step toward him.
He ignored my question. His face started to have mixed fillings. Sad, anger, understanding. But what was he understanding? Why was he angry? Why was he sad?
"How bought I help you find Alexander?" Jagger said softly.
I shocked for a moment. This was a new side of Jagger that I haven't seen on him anytime I that met him.
"Why do you want to help me?" I asked curiously.
"I just want to get close to you. And maybe talk to you while we look around." Jagger said nodding his head to the right.
I looked to my right a saw the bus there. When did that get here?
"Are you getting on or not?" An annoyed bus driver said.
I nodded and got on.
I took a seat and Jagger sat down next to me. I wanted to push him out of the seat but I didn't have the heart to do it.
And what does he want to talk about? Does he want to talk about sucking my blood?
Jagger's Pov.
What the hell am I going to tell her? 'Hey we're soulmates because a vampire can tell when they feel a pull'? She'll think I was crazy!
What was I thinking? I came to her unprepared. I should have thought this through.
Ever since I met her I haven't been acting like myself. Or at least that's what my sister, Luna, says.
We were both quite the whole bus ride. Raven said we missed our stop to the bus driver and said that there wasn't a bus stop where she wanted to go so she would have to pull the string above the window.
So Raven pulled that string repeatedly until the bus stopped. "You see that?" The bus driver said pointing out the windshield. "That's a bus stop."
But Raven ignored him and got off. I followed her off and the bus drove off having to stop at the end of the block at the bus stop.
I looked around and saw an old mansion. Its windows were boarded up and there was a tree in the back yard.
"So you think Alexander's here?" I asked as Raven banged on the door calling out some other guy's name. Maybe Alexander's servant or something.
"Yes!" She said sounding very annoyed.
What did I do?
Raven walked to the backyard and looked through a broken window.
"See anything?" I said.
She shook her head sadly and backed away from the window. I could tell she had an idea because she was looking up at the tree in wonder. Next thing I knew, Raven was climbing the tree up to a window. She called Alexander's name but no one answered.
Okay. I really need to tell her before I go mad! I'm sick of her looking for Alexander!
"Raven!" I called up to her.
"What!" She said climbing down.
When she got to the bottom I said, "Raven, I've been feeling a pull between us. There is an old legend about that for vampires. Most vampires believe that to be a sign of soulmates."
Raven looked at me with a blank face. I couldn't tell what she was thinking so I went on.
"The first time I saw you, I just thought that someone spiked my blood. But when I saw you again I knew it was for real." I said taking a step closer to her but she backed up against the tree.
"Raven," I said brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I think we're soulmates." I said quietly and leaned in to kiss her.
But before I could I heard a door open and close. Next thing I knew I was on the ground with a pain in my shoulder.
"Stay away from her Jagger." A guy said.
I looked up at him and saw Alexander.
Alexander's Pov.
I heard everything.
And I don't want it to be true but I know it is.
Raven's mine and always will be mine.
I won't give her up so easily.
