XOXOXOXOXOXO

I stood a little bit behind Brain in a huge circle that encompassed the girl Zoey, five other kids I didn't know, and a table. Music began playing out of nowhere and Zoey began dancing.

It was amazing, although that could mean very little when it's coming from an uncoordinated dork such as myself. A guy's voice came from the darkness and I saw it was from the adult vamprye in the middle of the circle. He was handsome with dark hair and bright blue eyes that looked luminousness.

Brian put his arm around me and pulled me so I was part of the circle.

I felt like this was wrong. I was human, I had no part in this. I heard about two professors here getting murdered by what some people believed were humans.

"You're only half-human."

My back prickled at the sound of the raven's voice. Half-human? I think that bird is looney.

I focused my attention back on the fledglings in the middle. Each of them held a thick candle in their hands. There were three girls and one guy. The guy had brown hair and a sweet face. Two of the girls had beautiful blonde hair. The last girl had beautiful, warm black skin and gorgeous hair.

The music stopped and Zoey stood in front of the male vamprye. She picked up a knife and sliced his hand. She said a prayer to their goddess, Nyx, as she held his hand over a goblet.

She then began invoking the elements. My skin prickled as Air, Fire, and Water were called. When she got ready for Earth, she paused.

She turned to us and said that Aphrodite, I assuming it was the blonde girl whose candle wasn't lit, was just keeping the power of the element for a girl called Stevie Rae.

There was a movement in the oak tree behind them and a girl with a red tattoo on her face. She took the candle from Aphrodite.

"Okay, now you can invoke Earth." The girl said.

Then all hell broke loose. People began shouting and some scary vamprye males drew out some swords. Brian wrapped his arm around me and angled his body in front of mine.

"Spirit come to me!" Zoey shouted, lighting a big purple candle. A silver ring of light encircled them.

"House of Night listen to me!" I jumped at the sound of her amplified voice. She then explained that Stevie Rae went through a different kind of change and that the girl Aphrodite wasn't a fledging, but had been changed into a human to help Stevie Rae gain back her humanity.

A woman came out from the crowd. She had bright red hair and wore a plain black dress that hugged her curves.

There was something wrong about her. She made my skin crawl.

"What?" Brian asked.

"I don't like her."

"She's our High Priestess, she's fine." Brian said.

"I choose the power of the my circle and the truth!" Zoey shouted.

"Aim for the true mark." The woman told a boy standing beside her.

My stomach rippled as he raised a bow and arrow and shot an arrow right into Stevie Rae's chest.

"Oh God!" I said. A lot of people stood around not sure what to do as Zoey and her group moved away from the oak tree.

My gut clenched at the sight under the tree. Blood looked like it was oozing from the tree's roots. The ground began shaking and my knees knocked together.

Suddenly the tree gave a tremendous scream and something rose out of the ground from under it.

Wings rose out of the tree and then a man. He was…I can't accurately describe him. He was gorgeous with golden skin, dark hair, amber eyes, and a face of an angel. I wanted to run.

"Come on Brian!" I tugged his arm.

"Arise with me, children!"

I gasped as a white hot pain grew in between my shoulder blades and spread throughout my body.

I turned back to look at him and saw his arms raised as huge black things exploded from the ground. My stomach clenched so hard I was afraid I was going to puke.

They had the heads of a black bird, but a body of a human with talons at the ends of their wrists and ankles and wings were attached to their backs. They filled the air with a horrible shrieking.

The woman walked up to him. "This is Erebus."

"No!" The thought stabbed through me with complete certainty. This was not Erebus, whoever he was.

"Bow to Nyx's consort, and our new Lord on Earth." The woman said.

Brian moved in my arms. I watched as her bowed to the winged guy. It seemed that everyone else around us also kneeled to them. A black woman walked toward them and the red-haired woman raised her hand and ever so slightly flicked her wrist. The black woman grabbed her throat and collapsed.

Soldiers around her drew up their swords and attacked the winged guy.

"Brian!" I tugged his arm. "Get up!"

"Croak!" I looked up and the raven from before flew around my head. His talons hooked in my hair and tugged at it. "Run! Go with Zoey!"

"But Brian-"

It shrieked at me. "Go now!" It pecked my head sharply. I flinched.

"Ow!" I looked around and saw Zoey and her group shuffling over to a hole in the wall. I looked toward the winged guy. His amber eyes flickered over to me. A stab of fear filled me when recognition and excitement filled his eyes.

I stumbled through the kids on bent knee and walked over to Zoey. Her eyes flickered from the winged guy to me.

"Can I come with?" I asked.

"Here Raven!" Zoey said. She held out her hand. I held it and she pulled me into the heart of the circle.

Aphrodite looked at me. "She's human."

"So are you!" I snapped at her.

She glared at me.

"Now is not the time to argue my beauty." A…walking mountain said. "We must go."

Fire began exploding in the sky, almost like fireworks.

"It's the Raven Mockers. They have their bodies back, and they're hungry. They're feeding on humans."

My stomach clenched with fear, but there was also the unexplainable desire to fly up and join them.

I wasn't paying attention too much to what they were saying, but I did pick up something about tunnels.

Aphrodite looked at me. "What about her?"

I blinked. "What?"

"Think that you're mist, shadow. No one can see you or hear you." Zoey said. I blinked. She looked like a mass night that had taken human form.

We began shuffling along again. I shuffled along with them. I wasn't too sure I ever turned near invisible like the vampyres, but no one looked at us.

We arrived at the old depot and for some reason we entered the old musty place.

Zoey said good-bye to the elements.

I heard someone sniff behind me. I turned and saw it was one of the red fledging.

"Are you sure she's human?" A little girl said. "You don't smell human."

"Um, I'm not hundred percent sure how to respond to that." I told her.

"What kind of question is that Sophie?" A boy asked.

"You sniff her, she doesn't smell like anything I've smelled before." The Sophie girl said.

"What just happened?" I asked Zoey. "And please don't tell me that that is normal."

She chewed her lip with a faint smile on her face. She looked scared to death, not that blame her.

"It's a long story." She said. She glanced at her friend, Stevie Rae, who I suddenly remembered had been shish kabobed by that boy.

"We should help her first." I felt like I was going to vomit or faint.

The guy holding her pulled through a gate.

"You're going to have to go down there." Zoey said.

Now I really felt sick. I always had claustrophobic issues, ever since I was little.

I swallowed. I slipped through the grate and climbed down the ladder. I swallowed at the feeling that the darkness was smothering me. I saw the guy, the dark haired one, in front of me. I followed after him.

"Raven."

I jumped and spun around.

Zoey flinched at my sudden movement. "What?"

"I thought I heard someone say my name." I said.

The others behind them shook their heads. I rubbed my hand against my head.

"Come to me daughter!"

The world tilted in a weird way and I felt myself slip away.

XOXOXOXOXXO

I'm not too happy with this chapter to be honest. I didn't want to take a bunch of dialogue from Untamed so I tried my best to summarize what I needed and focus on Raven.

So, thanks for the reviews. I heart reviewers! :)
