I Don't Own Vampire Diaries Thats L.J. Smith I Only Own The Beautiful Raven ^.^

Raven's POV

It was dark outside, my favorite time of day. I headed back towards the town square, hoping to see at least one of the brothers strolling around with that fake Katherine on their arms. I almost gagged at the thought of seeing her with them. It was bad enough with the real Katherine.

I sat on the park bench and waiting. They couldn't avoid me forever. I came here to find her, and I wasn't leaving until I did. This had been going on too long and it was time for it to stop.

I sensed rather then heard the person appear behind me. "Anna. Always nice to see you," I greeted the young vampire. Anna walked around the bench and sat beside me. "Does your mother know your playing so late?" I had always liked to tease the seemingly young girl. Tonight, though, Anna didn't seem in the mood.

After a tense silence Anna spoke. "My mother is dead," she said in a hoarse voice, It was a simple sentence but shock coursed through my body. Pearl's dead? How did I not know? I faced Anna completely for the first time in ages.

Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a messy pony tail. Her brown eyes were blood shot, and red rimmed. It was obvious that she had been crying. It reminded me too much of their last days together. She was completely broken. The one person she fought for, for so long was gone in an instant.

"I'm sorry," I mumbled. It didn't seem enough, but I couldn't find any other words. I had liked Pearl, and no one else knew her like Pearl did. There is another, the voice in my head whispered, but I pushed it away.

"Why are you here?" Anna asked changing the subject so suddenly. Anna wouldn't even look at me. Ever since their last fight Anna didn't want anything to do with me. Funny how one little fight can ruin a life long friendship.

"That's my business," I said, instantly defensive. I didn't want Anna involved in any of this. I never wanted this life for Anna.

Anna stood up. She was done talking and I wasn't going to stop her from leaving. She started to walk off, when I grabbed her hand. There was one thing she needed to know.

"Anna. If I would've known this was going to happen…," my voice trailed off as I tried to control the emotions rising inside of me. "I would have come sooner."

Anna turned towards me slowly. It was the first time in more then a hundred years. I hadn't changed much. Same curly black hair and bright blue eyes that Anna used to be so jealous of. An understanding passed between the two of us. Anna knew what I said was true. I loved her mother and wouldn't let this happen to her.

"I know," Anna whispered, turning away before the tears in her eyes could over flow.

"I have to go now, but if you need me…you know what to do," and with that I was gone. The slight breeze was the only indication that I was there.

"Good bye Raven," Anna muttered into the leaving breeze.

Elena's POV

"Who's Raven Craw?" I asked feeling left out of the loop. Damon turned to me, like he was just remembering that I was here.

"She's an old friend," he answered simply. The way he said friend sent shivers down my spine. This Raven girl must have been really bad. Especially if Stefan and Damon were worried about her.

"Why is she here?" Stefan asked, stopping the horrible images going through my mind. "I mean she has nothing here for her." He glanced around at me. Like perhaps I was the reason.

"I don't know," Damon answered truthfully. "She could be visiting, or coming after us, or…" he stopped, and glanced at me as well. Stefan glanced again to. It was obvious what they were both thinking. Or she could be after Elena.

"Or what?" I asked, I asked hoping that, that wasn't what they were thinking. I knew that was a small chance but I was still hoping.

"Or some other reason we don't know," Damon lied. I knew he was lying to me. He wanted to protect me but I still wanted the truth from him. Damon really did think that Raven was coming after me.

Apparently Stefan believed so to. His face was the picture of worry, but he said nothing to me. He didn't want to scare me anymore then I already was.

"So I guess we're gonna need Alaric's help," I said, trying to stop the rush of fear that was threatening to take over my body. "We could tell him to…" but I was cut off.

"Alaric can't help," Stefan said, waving away the rest of my feeble suggestion. I was about to ask why, when Damon beat me to it.

"We need Bonnie," he said, an unhappy tone in his usually smooth voice. He despised bonnie and would never ask her for help unless it was truly needed. "Because Raven is a witch."

Raven's POV

I had been waiting outside Emily's relatives house for an hour. I didn't know how much this girl knew, or how powerful she was. Either way I couldn't just barge into her house.

The girl's grandmother would have known that I was coming, and would have greeted me like family. Unfortunately she had died in an accident that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Thinking about the old women's death reminded me why I was even here.

I started to walk towards the house when a car pulled into the driveway. I paused, and slipped into the dark shadows of the surrounding trees. The car stopped, and three people got out. I recognized Stefan and Damon, even in the darkness, but I couldn't tell who the other was.

I waited until the porch light illuminated the other person. I almost gasped when I saw the other person. "Katherine," I mumbled. I leaned out of the shadows for a better view, then quickly pulled back into the darkness.

When I had said Katherine's name Damon must have heard, because he looked out into the shadows. "Stay here," he mumbled to Stefan, but it was enough for me to hear. I took a step back, and when Damon took one step off the porch I took off. I knew Damon would follow, and I knew where I wanted to face him.
