A/N: Hey guys! I'm so sorry about the very short chapter from before. I've been getting major writers block on all my stories for a very long time. Do you think you can help?
Raven's POV.
The next morning, my aunt took me to the bus station and got me a bus ticket for the next bus ride back home.
Within 30 minutes I was on the bus and heading home.
I pulled out my ipod and listened to Evanescence and Within Temptation. I sat back in my seat and closed my eyes as Amy Lee's voice sang 'My Immortal' in my ears.
What can I do? I've got two vampires that both love me. And I love them both. I've been with Alexander for a long time. Shouldn't I love him more than Jagger? I've only known Jagger for a few days. How can I love him?
But my heart still ached for him. I do love him. I don't know how I know this but I just know he's everything Alexander is and more. Just thinking about Jagger is now filling that huge hole in my heart, which I thought was being filled by Alexander.
I know their going to follow me home. I'll have to choose tonight. I have a whole day ahead of me to think about this.
About an hour later the bus stopped at the Dullsville bus station. I picked up my suitcase, got off the bus, and sat down on the bench outside, waiting for my dad to pick me up.
My dad pulled up and I got in the car. "What happened? Did your aunt do something to you?" He asked concerned. I shook my head.
"No, she didn't. I don't want to talk about this today." I said softly and looked out the window. My dad and I didn't speak for the rest of the drive.
When we got home my mom asked the same questions and I answered the same way I said to dad. "I'm going to my room." I said softly and ran upstairs to my room and locked the door behind me.
I lay down on my bed and looked up at the ceiling. I feel like I'm Christine from 'The Phantom of the Opera'. Only she didn't have the problem of soul mates.
Was Jagger telling the truth about soul mates? Is that really real? I mean, I've always thought that Alexander and I were meant to be together ever since we started dating but now . . . I just don't know.
Someone knocked on my door. "What?" I said annoyed. Is it too much to ask for a little alone time?
"Becky's here." I heard my mom say and leave the hallway. I sighed and got up. What's Becky doing here?
I walked downstairs and Becky was there in the hallway. "Hey Raven. Your dad told me you were home and I was wondering if you would like to go to the mall or something?" She said. She looked concerned.
"Sure." I said and grabbed my Corpse Bride purse. We both left the house and got into Becky's truck and drove off. Maybe I can get some advice.
"So, um, how was your trip?" Becky asked.
I shrugged. "It was fine until last night." I said.
"What happened?" Becky asked.
"Can you keep this a secret?" I asked.
"Of course! We're best friends Raven." Becky said with a smile.
"Well . . . I met a guy there. And I'm really confused." I said.
Becky nodded once and I could tell gears were turning in her head.
"Did you . . . You know?" Becky asked a bit nervous.
"What? No! I would never do that with a guy I just met!" I said shocked. Why did she have to ask that?
Becky blushed. "Sorry I asked. But what are you confused about?" She said.
I sighed. "I think I fell in love with him. But I still love Alexander. I don't know what to do." I said softly and everything was silent except for the loud roar of the engine.
Becky parked the truck in the parking lot and turned off the engine. "I don't know how that happened. You've been with Alexander ever since he moved here. And now you go on vacation and you think you love someone? I don't think that's possible." She said and got out of the car.
I got out and we both walked inside the mall. We went into the music store and looked around for CDs.
"I don't know how to explain it Becky. I love the guy but I also love Alexander. It's got me really confused." I said.
"Monster girls got a problem huh?" A guy said behind me. A guy I didn't want to talk to at the moment. I turned around and there was Trevor smirking at me.
"So whose the other guy?" He asked with a smirk.
"Now of your business!" I said coldly and turned back to the CDs and picked up a Flyleaf album.
"Could it be me? I'm flattered!" Trevor said acting surprised.
I turned to him and yelled, "Why the hell would I love you!" That got his and the whole stores attention.
"You don't know what I'm going through and I don't need you getting into my business!" I yelled and put down the CD I was holding.
"Come on Becky." I said and left the store. Becky followed and touched my shoulder.
"What was that about?" She asked.
" . . . I just snapped okay. Every time I have a problem, Trevor comes in and makes it worse." I said softly.
This week couldn't get any worse.
Night TimeAlexander's POV.
Finally. I can finally take Raven for myself.
Jameson and I arrived at Dullsville an hour after the sun had set. It was 8:00 p.m. so I have all the time the night will give me.
I flew up to Raven's window as a bat and there she was lying on her bed, looking at the ceiling. She looked like she's been thinking hard. Most likely about whom she loves more. I'll make sure it's me. It's only a matter of time before Jagger shows up.
I tapped on her window with my wing and Raven looked up in surprise. She looked me. She must be looking at my eyes. Raven sighed and opened the window. "Come on in Alexander" She whispered.
I flew in and turned back into my vampire form. "Thanks for letting me in Raven." I said with a soft smile and pulled her into a hug.
Raven tensed a bit and I sighed. I pulled away and smiled at her. "You're confused. I know that. I know you've been thinking about this soul mate thing all day too." I said softly at her.
Raven nodded a bit and I smiled at her. "Raven. You really believe in that myth?" I asked.
Raven shrugged. "You're a vampire. Anything's possible now." She said softly.
I chuckled. "Yeah I guess so. But Raven, I love you. And Jagger might also love you but I don't believe he feels what I feel when I'm with you." I said softly and kissed her lightly on the lips.
The warmth of her lips brought back so many memories. Memories starting from the first time Raven and I met. She was always so beautiful and outgoing. Ready to anything. Ready to become a vampire at any time.
Why did I keep on denying her? I love her and wanted her to live her human life before she joined me in a vampire life. But now that Jagger's trying to get in the way of our love, I have no choose.
I deepened our kiss and closed my eyes. Raven went along with me. Our lips pressed against each other so perfectly. Jagger could never feel this much passion.
I wrapped my arms around Raven's waist and she wrapped her hands around my neck. I started to kiss down her neck and I could feel and hear her pulse rushing. Her sweet blood pumping fast through her veins.
I nibbled on her neck a bit and Raven giggled a bit. She's always loved this.
"Raven?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" She whispered to me.
"What would you say if I could turn you right now?" I whispered and Raven went tense. Her heart was pounding even harder. The scent of her blood was intoxicating. I kissed her neck again and Raven shivered. This is a new reaction.
"Y-you would do that? F-for me?" Raven whispered.
"Of course, Raven. I'd do anything for you." I whispered and nibbled on her neck a bit. "All you've got to do is ask."
Raven was silent. I could tell she was thinking really hard about this. This really confused me. If I made this offer to her a week ago she would say yes right at that second.
Finally Raven nodded. I smiled. "Let's go to the cemetery then." I whispered and Raven nodded.
Finally. Raven will become my vampire wife for all eternity.
I took Raven's hand and we left her bedroom. We got to the edge of the stairs and it creaked a bit. We don't want her parents or brother waking up. I picked Raven up bridal style and carried her downstairs without making a sound. Strange how vampires can do this without knowing how they can.
We left her house and made our way to the cemetery. It was a 30-minute walk but we finally made it. I looked at my watch. 10:00 P.M. Finally.
We walked to my grandmother's mausoleum and I pulled Raven into my arms.
"Are you ready for this?" I whispered in her ear. Raven shivered a bit and nodded.
I smiled and kissed her on the lips. I kissed her lips, her cheek, her jaw line, and then her neck. I kissed her neck one more time and then started to sink my teeth into her neck.
