HERE'S A NEW CHAPTER. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE FIRST ONE. PLZ REVIEW!

Raven's POV:

I took a step back instinctively out of human fear. What is wrong with him? "Alexande-" before I could even finish his name, he had me pinned to the ground, fangs bared, glaring at my exposed neck.

--------------------

Alexander leaned over me with cold thirst burning in his eyes. He told me a few times over the course of this week that he had not felt hungry so he went out to feed less. Had he finally snapped?! If this is how he plans on turning me immortal, this isn't how I pictured it. It took me only a few seconds to get over my shock. I screamed and tried to pleed Alexander back to normal.

"Stop! You don't know what you're doing! Please! Alexander?!" For a split second I thought I saw a hint of reason in his onyx eyes. It left as soon as it came and he lunged for the jugular. As I snapped my eyes shut, I heard a loud bang not even a foot from me. Alexander's weight left me and I laid limp on the ground.

Should I open my eyes? When I finally had the courage to peek, I saw a most unexpected sight. Alexander was out cold on the ground and none other than Trevor Mitchell was standing over me with a baseball bat. He looked worried. "Raven?" His voice sounded far away even though he was now nealt beside me. "Raven, speak to me!"

I could feel my eyes darting everywhere. Was I still in shock? My brain seemed to be going in slow and fast motion as I looked from Trevor to Alexander and back to Trevor again. "I'm...fine. Why did you hit him? Why are you here?" I asked, now feeling a throbbing in the back of my head.

"Why did I hit him?! He was about to rape you! I was driving home from the park after a baseball game with some friends and I saw him throw you to the ground and climb on top of you!" His green eyes looked as wide and as frantic as Alexander's did. That's right. Trevor doesn't know that Alexander is a vampire. I guess any normal third party person would guess the same.

"Is he okay?" I asked, looked at my vampire lover, unconcious on the ground.

"Is he okay?! Why do I care if he's okay?! Why should you?!" Trevor's yelling was making my already sore head pound. I winced. The anger left his face and he slowly lifted my torso off the ground, one hand on the back of my head, the other around my shoulders. "I think you hit your head monster girl." Oh great! There's that oh so charming sense of humor.

He pulled me to his chest and showed me the now blood covered hand that was supporting my head. Oh man! Am I gonna bleed to death or will the scent of my blood wake Alexander and make him attack us both. I didn't have time to ponder either option because Trevor and picked me up and began carrying me to his car.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked, confussed.

"The hospital. You need to be seen by a doctor." He put me in the passenger side of his car and handed me his jacket to use as a temporary gauze.

"What about Alexander?" I asked, still dizzy.

Trevor looked in his rearview mirror. "No worries. The creepy butler is here to rescue him."

I spun around in my seat and saw Jameson shaking Alexander. He shot to his feet off the ground and spun in my direction. As the car sped away from him, I caught a glimpse of remorse cloud his features. As soon as the sun set tomarrow, I would be right by his coffin, ready to talk this out with him. Hopefully he'll feed if I tell him to.

The dizzy feeling never left me as we drove closer to the hospital. "Thank you Trevor. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't showed up." He deserved a thank you, even if we were enemies.

"Don't thank me. I was doing everyone a favor, saving your butt. We wouldn't want a bunch of vampire babies running around Dullesville."

"Ha ha." I laughed sarcastically, only saying made me sound winded.

"We're almost there." He directed his full attention to the road and pulled into a parking space. "Do you need me to carry you or can you walk?" He asked.

"I can walk." I slowly got out of his car, keeping his jacket clutched to the back of my head. When the hospital's automatic doors opened, we got a mixture of worried and judgmental looks. Worried from the fact I was clearly bleeding and judgmental looks from the fact I was wearing all black. A nurse led us to the emergency room emediantly and a doctor was in the room a few minutes later telling me I needed x-rays and a cat scan.

"I'll go call your parents." Trevor offered.

"Thanks. Here's their number." I pulled one of my mom's crumpled business cards out of my jean pocket. "My mom's cell number is on the back." He nodded and left while a doctor escorted me to the x-ray room. When the doctor finished checking me out, Trevor came back into the room as the doctor left.

"I told your parents you hit your head and you were here. I'll let you tell them how it happened." Trevor said, matter-of-factly.

"Please don't tell them! They can't know!" I whisper-yelled, clutching his polo shirt. If my parents thought Alexander had tried to rape me, they'd never let me see him again. It's not like I could tell them the real truth.

"Raven, they need to know! What if he tries doing it again?!"

"He wasn't even trying to in the first place! It was all a misunderstanding!"

"Then what was going on Raven?" He asked, looked confused and unbelieving.

"I...can't tell you."

"Look, you may think that he had different intentions than what I'm thinking but did it ever occur to you...that maybe...he was trying to do something to you?"

I was about to correct him again when I stopped short. Maybe he was right. I don't know Alexander's intentions by the graveyard for sure. He really could have attacked me out of sexual tention. Even when Alexander is starving, his eyes are never black. He's had so much stress on him lately, I'm not suprised he finally cracked. His mind just seemed to randomly think of a way to release it. Who'd of thunk his body's way of releasing was so... human?

"That's what I thought." Trevor mumbled with a smug smile. "Looks like your vampire isn't the Mr. Perfect you make him out to be."

"But you seem to think you are." I bit back.

"Oh I am Mr. Perfect. Don't think that anything's changed between us because I saved you from Count Molester okay? Your still monster girl."

"Don't call him that you jerk!" I screamed, throwing the bed's remote at him but remembering it was attached when it swung back and hit my arm.

He laughed. "Later monster girl." He walked out of the room a few seconds before my parents and Billy boy ran in.

"Raven!" They both yelled. Even my annoying little brother looked relieved to see I was okay.

"Hey. I'm fine." I said between the bone crushing hugs."Doc says I don't have any brain damage. At least not from hitting my head today."

"How'd you hit your head? And why was Trevor with you?" my dad asked.

"I was climbing a tree at the park by the graveyard 'cause I saw a black cat stuck in it but I fell out. Trevor had been playing baseball with some friends and noticed me when I fell."

"Where did he go? He said he was here with you." My mom said.

"He was. He just left so you guys could take me home and all. He didn't see a reason to stay." I then noticed Billy boy was gone. So did mom and dad. A few seconds later of calling his name, he came in, towing Trevor behind him.

"Found him!" Billy yelled.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Madison." Trevor waved and smiled brilliantly, walking to them and shaking my dad's hand.

"Thank you so much for getting Raven here." My mom gushed.

"No problem. I am alittle worried about Raven hitting her head and all so why don't I walk her to all her classes for the first day back tomarrow. Make sure she remembers her way around and all." He offered. I could ring his neck.

"That's a--" I started but my dad finished.

"--brilliant idea! Thanks so much Trevor."

I was about to argue but Trevor gave me a warning look. Was he really gonna hold what he thought Alexander was doing to me over my head?

"You know what Mr. and Mrs. Madison...maybe you should know..."

I glared at him and begged with my eyes.

"Yes Trevor?" My mother asked.

"That I would also be honored to drive Raven to school as well."

"You really are a big help." My mom said. "Are you sure it's no trouble?"

"Of course not. Better be getting home. Don't wanna miss curfew." He waved and was on his way. Yep. I am definately ringing his neck.
