Chapter 6

Ravens P.O.V

I was on the train going to Hipsterville. I was doodling in my journal when I got a message. It was from Trevor. It read,

"BECKY TOLD ME YOU WERE LEAVING! PLZ DON'T GO RAVEN! I LOVE YOU!"

My eyes started to water. I shut off my phone and didn't reply. The train started to stop and I looked out the window, we were pulling into Hippsterville train station. I stood up and walked to the door of the train. The doors opened and I jumped out. The train station was full of Goths just like me, hippies like aunt libby and buskers dressed in fluro clothes playing on the tambourines and African like drums.

"Raven!" I heard a woman call out. I looked up and saw a beautiful woman dressed in bright green baggy pants with a pink t-shirt and a rainbow coloured vest over it. It was aunt Libby! She was running up to me with wide arms.

"aunt Libby!" I called out and gave her a massive hug.

"I missed you so much!" I said.

"Me too." she replied.

We walked to her hippie van, which was the same as ever. Purple and pink flowers where painted on it with blue letters saying "flower power!"

We got to her apartment and I dumped my suitcase on the couch.

"I'm going to yoga class now, you can come if you want."

"No thanks, I think I'll just chill out here for a while."

"ok, there's a few movies you can watch and a bag of popcorn in the cupboard."

"thanks." I said, and she walked out the door.

My phone started to vibrate in my pocket. I got a message from Trevor.

"I'm in Hippsterville, I need to see you! Meet me in the Hippsterville cemetery." the message said.

I sighed. I had to go meet him, I couldn't keep running away from this. I put my phone away and headed out the door. I had two and a half hours before aunt Libby came home, I had to be quick.

I ran down to the Hippsterville cemetery and climbed over the gates. A few red petals caught my eyes, then a few more, and a few more. It was a trail of red petals! I smiled and followed the trail that lead deeper into the cemetery. It felt like it went forever when finally it came to a stop. I looked around and there was nothing. I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. I quickly turned around to look but there was nothing there. I was starting to get a little bit scared.

"I knew you'd come." I heard a mysterious voice say behind me. I smiled thinking it was Trevor. I turned around and the handsome man standing before me was not Trevor at all. It was Jagger!

"What are you doing here?" I asked in a panicky voice while stepping backwards slowly.

"You know I've always wanted you." He said with an evil grin. He came up close to me and pushed me with all his strength. My back hit a tree and I banged my head causing my vision to go a bit blurry.

"How did you find me?" I mumbled under my breath.

"It was easy really. In a small town like Dullsville gossip travels around. I found out that you left town and went to Hippsterville, and even better, I found out that you were no longer under Alexander's protection now that you hooked up with Trevor."

He walked towards me and lifted me up by my throat.

"Trevor will find you and kill you!" I yelled in difficulty due to his hand firmly wrapped around my neck.

"Hahaha! I doubt that! I've already dealt with him!" he said with laughter.

"No!" I started to cry.

His grip got tighter. I looked around for any weapon. Then I remembered I had a clove of garlic in my bag! I bit his arm as hard as I could. He pulled away quickly with a big yell. I fell to the ground, I crawled to my bag where it had fallen earlier. I struggled through it with my shaky hands. I finally felt it. I pulled it out and held it in my hand firmly. Jagger came up to me and lifted me up. He was so angry it looked like there were flames in his eyes. I took a deep breath. I got the garlic ready. He opened his mouth ready to bite. I quickly pushed myself away from him as much as I could, I lifted up my hand. I was shaking so much. I grabbed his black shirt and dropped the garlic clove inside his t-shirt. He didn't realise what I had done until he smelt it. He took a few steps backwards. His eyes were wide open. His nostrils flared. He was breathing heavily through his mouth. He was coughing loudly. He slowly started to drop to the ground. I ran towards the entrance, climbed over the gate and ran as fast as I could. I didn't know where I was going, I just needed to get away. I stopped when I was out I breath. Trevor had to be still alive, I had to find him. I love him. I thought of where Jagger might have hidden him from me. I remembered the place hehad lured me once before. His underground apartment at the Coffin club. I looked around, my surroundings looked familiar. I saw bright red lights at the corner of my eye. I looked at where the light were. Three bright coffins where flashing. Red lights read 'The Coffin club'. I ran over to the entrance, there wasn't a big line luckily. About four or five people lining up. SHIT! My fake ID in m bag at the cemetery. I saw the girl in front of me was drunk off her face. she wasn't with anyone. she was mumbling and wobbling all over the place. She fell to the ground. I bent down to her level.

"I'm really sorry." I whispered to her.

I gabbed her purse and went through all her cards. I found her ID. I studied it, she looked reasonably like me, it would have to do.

"I'm really sorry. I'm actually a really nice person." I apologized.

I put the ID in my pocket and slipped five bucks in hers. I stood in line and before I knew it I was inside. I took the elevator to his underground apartment. I had goose bumps as I remembered about the last time I came here. The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing a dark room. I stepped inside. It was so dark and cold. No windows were in sight.

"Trevor?" I yelled out, hoping for an answer.

There was nothing, just dead silence. I walked around and searched through every room but I could find him. There was nothing on the floor but one single square mat that was grey with black bats all over it. I wonder…

I walked over to it and knelt down. I lifted it up, uncovering a trap door. I gasped. Anything could be under there, including Trevor. I unlocked it and lifted the door. Narrow stairs lead down to a pitch black scary room. I cautiously walked down the stairs.

"Trevor?" I again yelled out.

"Raven? Is that you?" I heard a strained voice mumble.

I ran to where I heard the voice. Laying on the ground on the floor was Trevor. I knelt down to him. His lip was bleeding. I cradled his head in my arms.

"I'm sorry, none of those things I said were true." He apologized.

"shhh… its ok." I whispered.

I helped him to his feet and up the stairs. We got out side and I called a taxi.

We were finally together again. He pulled me close.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you to."

He pulled me into him and we shared a long beautiful kiss…

THE END!
