Chapter 23 Old favours

Raven hated this, things were going great and then suddenly bam! up pops this annoying serial killer to take it all away. Things with Randy could of never been better, she knew that she was falling in love and more importantly so was he. Falling in love was always a no-no because of what she was, it made it too hard to leave at the end of the day. Raven couldn't help it, everything about Randy she loved she had even stopped wanting to eat him. Even when it ended and eventually she knew it would she had decided that she wouldn't eat him, it would be too hard knowing that she was once in deep deep human love with him. But the stray ends that needed tying were more important, if they stayed too untied it would destroy everything. That was why she was in the old graveyard waiting for Hunter, if her plans were going to work she would need his help, luckily he owed her one. She walked up and down the rows of old cracked graves, so many human friends she had come to love were buried here.

"C'mon I know your here, you always are" She muttered looking at the tombs of loved ones. There were so many comrads that had been and gone. She didn't even try to block the tackle from no-where. She let him take her to the ground until he was straddling over her, her slender arms pinned to the ground.

"Hey Huntress, long time no see" He grinned down at her. Once upon a time they were married for the sake of the clan but times and circumstances changed and he was free of the clan, he was still a hunter only this time he wasn't under her rule. It was just a good thing he decided that turning evil would earn him an enemy he couldn't beat and he did not want Raven as an enemy.

"How have you been Hunter?"

He pulled himself away and helped her up, like old friends they sat together on the grave stones just looking into the night. "I've been better, how are things with you?"

"I need your help" Raven confessed just wanting to move this along, she wanted one more night with Randy before it all came crashing down, oh it would come crashing alright and she would be left in the destroyed rubble. Typical.

"Oh no, I'm not killing for you, your so damn picky about everything"

Raven let out a small chuckle "I don't need you to kill Hunter"

"So what do you need oh great queen?"

Raven let her plan tumble out, it sounded messed up even to her but it had to be done. It was just the way life went sadly.

"Are you serious? You know what that means right?"

"Yeah" She took his hand gently "Please Hunter your the only one that can help me with this"

"You don't wanna lose him do you?"

Raven shook her head sadly "No. Please Hunter I know what this means for you but please, I love him"

Hunter let out a sigh, that puppy dog look always worked on him. "Alright I'll do it. Just holler and I'll come runnin"

Gently she kissed his cheek "Thank you Hunter, I knew I could count on you"

He could only watch her go into the night, this wouldn't be so hard. He didn't have to pretend to love her, he already did.
