CHAPTER FOUR

*I've never had a story that's survived past chapter number four… O.O *

The vampire hunters all showed up. I thought I told them not to arm themselves like they were going to kill him. They all had there weapons out in plain view.

"Raven." Gloria Beth came from behind the girl in gold and gave me a bone crushing squeeze. She released me and waved over someone from behind the whole group. She sighed when no one came and went back into the group to grab them.

It was a boy. He looked only fourteen years old. He wasn't a Goth though, he looked more of a Emo skateboarder. He had his long black hair in his face and I could barely see his green eyes peak through his hair. He smiled sorta and gave me a lazy wave. He plugged into a cheap Mp3 player and zoned out of the conversation.

"Can we just get on with this?" the girl in green sneered, she flipped her wooden stake around in her fingers and snapped her bubblegum.

"Patience, Crimson. Patience." Gloria Beth patted her on the shoulder, "Raven, this is Luke." she pointed to the fourteen year old.

He looked up from the ground and unplugged his Mp3 player.

"Let's get a move on!" Luna yelled,

"Okay. Okay." Gloria Beth said,

"Yeah, she tells me to shut up, but not vampire chick." Crimson whined quietly.

The girl in purple laughed.

"Shh! Stop, Illusion, I'm trying to pick him up." Gloria Beth scolded,

"Sorry…" Illusion sighed, she walked over to Luke and looked at his Mp3 player.

I ran over to Gloria Beth and I watched as she looked around. She closed her eyes and opened them. She smiled and looked into my eyes. She pointed at one direction.

Jagger and Sebastian smirked and looked at each other. Sebastian pushed up the sleeves on his leather jacket and nodded towards the direction Gloria Beth was still pointing at.

Jagger nodded and they both took off. Luna was soon behind them. I took off after them and the whole slayer gang was following me.

"Raven, why don't you stay back with Luke." Crimson smiled and pushed me into Luke.

"What? No, it's my boyfriend!" I yelled,

"Too bad! This is too dangerous for you too!"

I took Luke's hand and began to walk off, partly dragging him with me.

-HELPFUL INFO-

*Sorry to cut into the story like this, but I was just really confused, and I thought you might be too.*

First, Mrs. Alexander Sterling: Thanks for helping me. :D

Second: The info.

Gloria Beth - The leader of the clan. She's normally the oneto come up with a game plan, or get everyone out of trouble. She gets really mad when people start to whine or criticism against each other's abilities and strengths.

Crimson - The girl dressed in black and green. She's silent most of the time, yet when she does speak it's mostly a witty joke or her attitude. She also lost her parents like Christine, so they have a lot in common. Crimson lost her parents due to a car accident, not a vampire attack. She loves to listen to music and will have more in common with Luke than anyone else.

Christine - The smaller girl dressed in Black and Gold. Thinks everything and everyone should revolve around her. Her real parents died when she was young so she became a vampire hunter to avenge her fallen parents. She's a loner because she never fits in anywhere because ofher strength and ablities that have came into play from being a hunter.

Illusion - The girl dressed in black and purple. She's the oldest, not including Gloria Beth. Illusion is 20 years old, yet she looks 18. Her main strength is the Illusions she can create with her mind. She's part vampire, her mom had a affair with a vampire making her a half vampire half human hybrid. She vowed to kill vampires because she hates what she was created as.

Eldest - A black lab with a diamond studded dog collar. Can pick up any supernatural being from a mile away.

Luke - The newest recruit. Nothing really known about him. He was found half dead next to a dumpster in a dark alley way. He was changed into a full blooded vampire. He just joined the club because he was going to die without Gloria Beth's help.

Mrs. Alexander Sterling: I couldn't picture Alexander hissing either, it was really hard to write that part, and it still is!

babygirl245024: Thanks! I'm glad you thought so! :D

Vampcrazed13: :D :D :D :D

Me (xXTorturedxHeartsXx) : GET BACK TO WORK!

Luke immediately picked up the pace, I had a feeling he didn't want to see the shit go down. All I wanted was my boyfriend, nice and normal, not blood thirsty "I'm gonna eat you".

"So, why are you in this groupie?" Luke asked me,

"I don't know. I was just dragged into it." I sighed,

"There has to be one good reason why the took you. Maybe it's because of your boyfriend." He smirked and gave me a look with his dark red eyes.

"Maybe, but I don't think Alexander would need me to know how to defend myself against him." I said,

"True, but now that your hanging out with a bunch of vampires. One of them could get a little blood thirsty… and…" he paused and jumped at me.

I almost fell over, but I caught myself by a dead bush branch. I held a scream in my throat.

"See what I mean?" Luke composed himself and leaned against a dead tree.

I stood up and tried to calm down. I thought of my happy place, being in Alexander's arms under the moonlight at the cemetery. A open coffin behind us and a candle lit path twisting to a gothic alter with a silver goblet. I tried to think of him, with his beautiful brown eyes, but it didn't work, all I could see were his blood red ones.

Some bushes moved without wind and it broke my calming trance. All of the worries flooded into my veins again and I stood back with a worry of what was to come.

"Alexander?" I asked, my voice shook with worry.

"Raven." He stood out from the bushes. He was mine again. He wasn't hissing, and his eyes were their beautiful brown. He didn't walk towards me, instead he stood from a distance with his head hung low.

I ran to him and wrapped my arms around him, trying to squeeze all of our worries and fears.

"I'm never going to let you go. Never. Never again." I sobbed,

"Raven… I'm so sorry." he sobbed,

He slid his arms around me and gripped me tightly like a young child cherishing a favored toy. I squeezed him tighter, until I thought I might break both of us. Then we released each other and held hands.

"Gloria Beth," Alexander's tone was a fragile whisper. He kept his eyes on me for a while and then looked at her, meeting her eyes.

They stood their in silence each making complete eye contact. They closed their eyes for a short time and then Alexander opened his eyes.

"Go ahead," Gloria Beth sighed, she opened her eyes and came over to us. "I'll miss you, Raven. You could have done great things with us." she gave me a hug. I gave her a hug as well and the Vampire Hunters all left.

I looked up at Alexander's face and wiped away his tears. He wiped away mine as well. A smile crawled upon his face and one on mine as well.

Luna came over next to me and smiled. I watched her, my eyes never leaving hers. She took her hands to my neck and my heart fluttered, her fingers were freezing.

She unclasped the necklace and I felt darkness rush through my veins. My eyelids closed and I felt myself sinking.

-CHANGE IN POINT OF VEIW-

-Alexander-

Raven slumped into me. She was in a deep sleep, and she looked so fragile. I didn't want to carry her, after the monster I had become and the nightmares I must have caused for her, I couldn't bare to even touch her, yet I had no choice.

I held her cradled in my arms and Jagger and Sebastian came over to me and Luna.

"Ready, Dude?" Sebastian asked, he nudged me in the ribs, taking the advantage that I couldn't punch him in the shoulder.

I gave him a glare instead and we walked back to the cars.

"Dude, about that… umm… we didn't bring any cars… we ran here." Jagger smirked,

I thought about arguing with him, but instead I took off and Luna took off after me. I could hear the others bickering behind me about tonight's events.

Tonight we were going to have to leave to Romania.

I promised my parents when I returned, I would have made Raven my immortal bride, but it looks like it was just another promise to be broken. Raven wasn't ready to be awoken into such a world of darkness.

She gripped on my shirt collar and her dark eyes opened.

"I love you." she said, sweetly.

I smiled. "I love you, too."
