ENJOY THIS NEXT CHAPTER! REMEMBER: I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT THE STORY LINE.

Raven's POV:

I always have a way of knowing exactly when I'm dreaming. Although I knew I currently was, it all still scared me. I was back in Hippsterville at 'The Dungeon' and was rockin' out with Scarlet and Onyx when Alexander walked in with a tiny leather bag. He pulled out capsules of blood and handed one to both of the girls.

"Would you like one Raven?" He asked. I noticed how his black eyes seemed to seer into me and it made my mortal blood run cold.

"I can't drink any. I'm human remember?" This seemed to amuse him.

"Then let me turn you. I promise you won't regret it. We can spend eternity together my little lamb." His words were sweet but the way he said them made me shake.

"Alexander, I wanna go home. Please take me home." I begged.

"Why? I'm giving you what you always wanted. Immortal life. Or do you not want it anymore." His smug, evil look left him and the Alexander that I know came back. "Do you not want me anymore?"

The way he said it broke my heart. "Of course I want you. It's just...you said not until after graduation. There's alot that still needs to be done."

"My world can't wait for your human weaknesses." The cold look was back. He picked me up bridal style and began to carry me through one of the many catacombs with Scarlet and Onyx in tow.

"My human weaknesses?! Getting an education and pleasing my parents is not a weakness Alexander! Put me down! I wanna go home!" I began hitting him anywhere I could as tears began rolling down my face. The Alexander that I loved was gone and I needed to get away.

"Put her down!" I gasped when I heard the familiar voice. Trevor was standing at the end of the catacomb with his baseball bat pulled back and ready for a deadly blow. "Put her down now or you'll regret it!"

Alexander dropped me and I had to be caught by Onyx and Scarlet. The two teens walked up to eachother until they were three feet away. Alexander's evil dark eyes seering into Trevors light green ones.

"This is amusing." Alexander began. "A human is trying to win against a vampire. A human!" He began laughing and every vampire in the club joined in. It was a chorus of deadly echos that made me want to scream. The laughter ceaced and Alexander gripped Trevor's neck and lifted him in the air.

"Put him down Alexander!" I yelled, hurling myself at him. I couldn't even make him budge. Trevor was turning more and more pale and was beginning to even turn blue. "Put him down! You're killing him!"

Alexander swung around and flung me to the ground yelling, "Make me!" Before I could fall at a bone crunching speed, I shot up in bed and let out a blood curdling scream.

It didn't take even two seconds before my parents were leaning over me in worry. "Raven are you alright? It was just a bad dream." My mom hushed me while sitting beside me and rubbing my back.

"I thought the bad dreams had stopped when Sterling came back." My dad mumbled. Was that dream a sign or did last night's events scare me that bad?

"I'm fine. Just alittle shook up." I lied. I was more than alittle shook up. I needed Alexander to hold me and tell me everything was alright. My black kitty Nightmare began cuddling against my side. How ironic.

"Your mother and I were talking last night and remembered something. You said you were spending the day with Alexander. Where was he when all of this happened?"

My dad's question took me off guard but I was able to make up a plausable answer. "Alexander started his tudoring early instead of tomorrow so I was helping him out when Jameson said I needed to go home so Alexander wouldn't be distracted. I decided to spend the rest of the day at the park to kill time before I could go back and see Alexander. I guess I lost track of time."

"I thought your internal clock ran on Alexander time." My mom joked. "It's a shock you forgot to go meet him right away."

"Like I said earlier, that black cat distracted me. I was afraid Nightmare had gotten out of the house again and it was him." I was getting really good at this lying stuff.

My answer seemed to satisfy them. "Alright. Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?" Mom offered.

"No. I'm fine. I have to get up and get ready for school in a few minutes anyway." I lifted back the covers and got out of bed. My parents left me be and I headed for the shower to wake me up.

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

I was just gonna wear a black t-shirt and a pair of baggy jeans until I remembered Trevor was picking me up. Even though I was unconditionally inlove with Alexander, for some reason, a thrill seemed to shoot through me everytime I thought of Trevor.

It disturbed me and made me want to punch myself, but I couldn't get the soccer snob off my mind. Maybe if I break all his pretty teeth with my fist, he'll leave my subconcious be. It's like he's become a part of every single thought I have since I hit my head and he came to the rescue. Whatever that fall did to my brain, it couldn't be picked up by a cat scan.

I need to talk to Becky about this. I called Becky last night to tell her about my head injury but she had already heard it from Matt who heard it from Trevor. When I let her know my parents were forcing me to ride to school with Trevor and that she could go straight to school to meet up with Matt, she flipped and asked if I liked him. I told her that the chances of me liking Trevor were the same as the chances of Matt finding another girl. Slim to none.

After having that dream, I'm not so sure. Maybe I really do like him. He saved me in real life and in my dreams so it kind of made me feel indebted to him. I threw my clothes selection to the side and put on skinny jeans and a red and black corset top. I decided against combat boots for once and put on some red converses.

Trevor Mitchel here I come.
