Chapter 5

Clan of Fangs

Raven's POV

I couldn't see the creature anymore, and, what's worse, I can't find Zach. I moved quickly from side to side. I didn't realize I was running up a building, and on the roof in a few seconds. I observed the city from there, but... nothing, no sign of Zach. Driven by pure instinct, I jumped off the roof, and glided gently down to the ground. And if the vampire killed him? I don't think I could ever forgive myself. Ever since he turned me, I could feel about him something intense, and it's like I can't hide or be myself anymore. The anxiety with which I looked around, hoping to find him safe and sound... I can feel it crushing on me.

As much as I didn't want to, as much as I wanted to stay, and find Zach, I went back to the tower. I needed to clarify what happened. I needed to calm down. I needed to meditate. When I teleported myself into my room, I started to meditate, thinking about what everthing that has happened. I'm worried about Zach, and the idea of never seeing him again? I wouldn't know what to do. Zach turned me, he's been teaching me, and... a feeling in my chest grows painful. Love. As I was lost in my thoughts, and as I chanted my mantra, I heard someone knocking quietly at my window.

I turned toward the window, and through the glass I saw Zach's face. I hurriedly went to the window to open it, and I watched as he laughed. As if he was amused by my worried and annoyed expression. "Did you think I was dead?" He asked.

"You? Dead? Yeah, like I didn't think of that." I replied with dry sarcasm, but I wanted to cry.

Zach smirked. "Really now my dear Raven? I'm tough, I'm sure you know that. Come down so I can explain." He said.

I flew out the window, and then I saw that Zach was already at the bottom of the tower, sitting on a rock. Beside him, I saw a girl. The vampire. Suddenly, I felt a slight pang of jealousy, but I didn't pay attention to it.

"Now, tell me." I said, my voice full of impatience and anger from what he pulled.

When he didn't reply back, I turned around, and started to walk away. I never liked to be teased and then, the jealousy I didn't understand I felt, made me even more irritated than I already was.

"Raven!" Zach called from behind me, but I decided not to pay attention. "My dear, be reasonable, this was only part of your training! Artemis is only a friend!"

I teleported back to my room. I'm glad Zach's alive, but what he did was cruel. Makeing me feel and think he was dead, and now, making fun of me? I sat on the edge of my bed, and sighed. Suddenly, I felt a hand upon my shoulder. Zach. He looked at me with his beautiful green eyes.

"I'm sorry, very sorry my dear." He said, and kissed me.

I wanted to push him off, but... feeling his lips on mine, I couldn't. The kiss was sweet and warm, even though his lips were icy cold. I saw the girl, 'Artemis', cough, look away, and I heard her mumble something. I felt much better. I watched as Zach held my hand, and pull me closer to Artemis. I stared at her, as she stared at me. She looked a little perplexed, but... was I feeling jealousy from her? I wasn't sure.

Zach beckoned me to follow him, and also beckoned Artemis. I hesitantly followed him, and reached the training ground. "You must learn to defend yourself against anything that can harm you." Zach told me.

"I know how to fend for myself." I said with my eyes narrow.

"As a half demon." He pointed out, and I felt my lips turn into a snarl. "You now have other weaknesses my dear, and you have to adapt how to fight as a vampire."

"I still have my powers, I still know how to use them." I stated firmly.

Zach's face was completely serious. "That maybe tyre dear Raven, but that will barely help you against other vampires." He said.

"What do you mean?" I questioned him.

"Artemis, is a vampire, but she belongs to no clan. There is a clan here, and a... little problem, which now I have to settle with their leader. I also don't want you to have problems." Zach explained.

I watched as Zach then nodded to Artemis, who got in a stance, fangs bared. The next thing I know, she came charging for me. In reflex and habit, I threw up a shield, which suddenly shattered when she ppunched through it. She then knocked me out with a couple of shots. I regained my balance, and then realized that parts of my leotard was ripped.

"My dear Raven, don't think about your movements too much. Surrender to your instinct." Zach yelled out to me.

Easier said than done. Actually, it was pretty easy. I was easily able to dodge and avoid each shot. "Attack" I heard Zach say in my mind, and I moved faster. I was soon able to catch Artemis' movement at the right moment, so I punched her in the face. I knocked her out. I was... okay, with knowing my new vampiric powers. However, I found out that a oppossing clan threatens Zach. I feel... The new vampire side of me... Can't stand the idea of losing him, and now this made me understand how I really care about him. I don't want to be helpless, I never was, and won't start now.

Sorry for the long wait, and sorry if the chapter was short:)
