A/N: Thank you all, so much. I love the notes and such. Thank you.
We all ended up at Raven's house. We hid in the bushes of her backyard for a while.
"Raven… I thought I was going to do this… not yet… but…" I couldn't finish, not with her beautiful eyes gleaming in the moonlight.
The backyard light went on and Jagger and I pulled back from the bushes.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Raven whispered,
I was about to object, but she had already stood up and ran off to the house.
"Wow, you can't hold on to the only girl that loves you." Jagger and Sebastian chuckled,
I rolled my eyes at their joke and we took off to the mansion.
When we got to the mansion the sun was just beginning to peak out from the clouds of the horizon. Luna and Sebastian were waltzing their way up the stairs and Jagger sat on the couch with his cell phone in his hand.
"How was your night?" Jameson asked, he snuck up behind me.
I turned around and shrugged. I began to head up the stairs as well as Luna and Sebastian.
Jameson mumbled something and walked into the kitchen. I could hear his constant bickering and then the sound of the water running. I decided to leave him alone.
I opened the door to my room and quickly closed my curtains. I managed to move the large chair out of the way and opened the door that was unlocked for some unknown reason.
I felt my cell phone buzz in my pocket.
I took it out.
One New Message: Read or Ignore.
I selected read and opened Raven's text. It took me a while to understand all of her texting lingo, but I managed to translate.
When school ends, I'm coming over. -R
I wanted to text her back and tell her how I wouldn't be awake, but then I made up my mind to manage. I changed the time on my alarm clock so it was set for two o'clock and not five.
Right now, all that really mattered to me was sleep.
-Change in Point of view-
-Raven-
I dragged myself to school and managed to put through with all of the bogus classes. I put up with Mr. Morris and Mrs. Shanks with their pop quizzes and with the Soccer Snobs. It felt like everyone was against me. And for some weird reason, Becky was refusing to speak to me.
I sat down to a lunch tray full of the most disgusting things ever. I cracked the cheap soda and sat in silence.
I couldn't wait for the school bells to ring and my freedom to be announced to the world. If I had to put up with one more, "Hey Monster Girl," I was going to make it so Mr. Mitchell couldn't have kids.
"Hey, Raven." Matt sat down in front of me. Becky wasn't with him.
"Hi." I said as I picked at the Macaroni and Cheese, which looked like rubber with yellow goop. I looked up at him and he didn't look that happy.
"So, what's going on with you and Becky?" Matt asked. I could tell he was some what afraid of me. He still managed to keep eye contact.
"I don't know." I said still picking at the rubber.
"Well, she's really upset about something." he countered,
"She isn't talking to me, Matt. I don't know!" I said now getting angry.
He paused for a while and ran a hand through his hair. "Never mind." He got up and left my lonely lunch table. I was some what rejoiced that he left, so I could have peace and quiet, but some what I wanted him to stay, he was the only one that would talk to me.
When the school bells rang and I dashed out the doors to my bike, I heard another call out from Trevor.
"Hey, Monster chick!" He yelled,
I tried to ignore him. Right now, I had to focus on meeting Alexander.
"D'you hear me, Goth Freak?" He yelled,
I unlocked my bike and felt a horrible pain.
Trevor was now behind me, he had a fist full of my hair and was pulling it up. "I said, Did you hear me!" He said with a threatening voice.
I kicked his shin and he stumbled backwards, letting go of my hair. I grabbed my bike and rode as fast as I could away from Dullsville High School.
I sped up the driveway and parked my bike in the grass. I knocked on the door and Jameson answered, he motioned for me to go up the stairs.
I obeyed and knocked on Alexander's door. It swung open and I was overwhelmed by the familiar presence of my prince.
He greeted me with a kiss and pulled me over to the bed. We sat down and he held my hands, playing with my fingers.
"Raven, tonight…" he paused,
I looked into his dark eyes and he turned away.
"You have no idea how hard this is for me." He sighed, "Raven. Tonight, I need you to join me…" he said, pausing.
My heart went into overdrive. Tonight my dreams would come true. I was now going to be a Vampiress. I would be able to stay up all night with my Prince and sleep during the day. I was now going to be free to be with him.
"Oh, Alexander…" I gave him a hug and didn't let go.
"Raven… you understand we have to go to Romania." He said,
That made me drop my arms. I looked at our matching combat boots.
I wasn't ready to leave everyone. To leave my Mom, my Dad, Nerd Boy, Becky, or even Mrs. Shanks. There was one face I was looking forward to saying goodbye to… Trevor. But still, leaving everyone behind.
"How am I going to pull it off?" I asked,
Alexander paused, and laid back on the bed. I did the same.
"You could fight with them." Alexander suggested.
"True… but they would suspect I'm here at the mansion.
"So, we pretend to fight as well. Jagger and Sebastian take you to Romania and I stay here and help your parents look for you?"
"That's genius!" I said, sitting up.
"That's what I did when I ran away from home." Alexander sat up.
I looked at him with a curious glance.
"That's a story for later." He smiled.
My cell phone went off and I fought with my skinny jean pockets to get it out.
I opened the text.
Where r u? -mom
"I have to go. My Mom is getting curious. Start texting me and I'll act like we're fighting through text messages." I smirked,
He nodded.
I gave him a hug and dashed out of the mansion. I got on my bike and quickly rode my way home. I put my bike in the garage and began to text Alexander.
I walked inside and faked some tears.
Send me the worst message you can ever send me. -R
I waited for my phone to buzz my hand and when it did, I opened the message.
Umm? Go away? -A
I sighed at his pathetic attempt but threw my phone to the ground and started to scream and cry. I fell to my knees and cried.
"Raven! What's wrong?" My Mom yelled, she ran into the room and slid on the tiled floor.
"Alexander broke up with me." I sobbed,
She put her arm around me and hugged me.
"Don't touch me!" I screamed, I got up, grabbed my phone and ran to my room. I slammed the door so hard I thought it would fall off the hinges. I locked the door and began to throw all of my clothes on my bed.
"Raven." There was a whisper and taps on my window.
I turned around fast, and ran to the window. I lifted the hatch and lifted the window up. Alexander slid in and began to help me pack.
I grabbed my piggy bank and took out the plug at the bottom. Bills and change spilled onto my bed.
"Oh dang it! I forgot I spent most of my money on my dress!" I pulled on my hair.
Alexander came out of nowhere, and from behind me, he grabbed my hands off my hair and kept them in his hands. He put his head on my shoulder.
"Raven… calm down. I'll take care of it. Just run downstairs and meet up with Luna and Jagger." he whispered in my ear.
There was a knock on my door.
"Raven!" my parents call out.
I threw one of my shoes at the door and grabbed my bag. I turned to say goodbye to Alexander.
But when I turned, the curtains were opened and he was gone. Just like any great vampire.
I stormed to the door, opened it and slammed and ran past my parents. I ran out the door and started to take off in the opposite direction of the mansion.
I took out my cell phone and dialed Luna's number.
"Hey, Raven! We're coming to pick you up." her happy voice rang through the speaker.
"Thanks. I'm right in front of the kid park on Broadhead street." I told her.
"Thanks! Bye." Luna hung up.
I hung up and put the phone in my bag.
I sat on the curb and waited. I thought over all that had happened this week. The vampire hunters, Alexander's demonic frenzy, and running away to Romania.
Luna pulled up in the hearse and took my bag. She put it in the trunk and I sat in the back of the car… next to Jagger.
As we were pulling away, Jagger put his arm around me.
I hit him, "Don't you dare try anything. I'll tell Alexander." I warned him.
He sighed, "You think I'm scared of Alex? Yeah, sure, pfft." he removed his arm and stared out the opposite window.
-Alexander-
There was a knock on the door and I hesitated to answer it. I knew it was Raven's parents, looking for her. Eventually, I got up and answered the door.
"Have you seen Raven?" Mrs. Madison stood at the doorstep with a flashlight shining on the ground.
"No. Why?" I asked,
"She ran away. She was really upset. She said you broke up with her." Raven's mom aimed the flashlight in my eyes.
I blocked the light with my hand, "We fought, yes. But I haven't seen her since yesterday."
"Do you have any idea where she might be?"
"Did you check the graveyard? Becky's?" I asked,
"We haven't checked the graveyard, yet. That's probably where she is." Raven's mom smirked a little, "Thank you, so much."
"No problem. I hope you find her soon."
Mrs. Madison left and I closed the door.
I went back to the parlor and took out my cell phone, waiting for Raven to update me on our plan.
"Dude, your in a room with electricity. And I didn't push you in it!" Sebastian stood in the doorway, looking down at me.
"Ha ha, very funny. And your without a Ipod! This is going to be recorded into history books!" I joked,
He sat down on the couch next to me. He took the remote and switched it to some ghost show.
"Dude, they're in Europe. They're where we used to hang out." Sebastian pointed out.
"Watch them fall through the floor, or watch them find nothing." I got up and walked out of the room.
Sebastian, Sebastian, Sebastian, your always so childish. I sighed and ran up stairs.
