I own nothing. I wish I did though.
Raven's POV
"Raven get up! Becky's on the phone! Raven!" Billy Boy woke me up, pulling the blankets from over my head. I moaned.
"Becky?" I said, grabbing the phone.
"Raven, it's almost noon. Why are you asleep?" She asked, I wanted to say 'Oh you know I stayed up all night because some freakin vampire has been stalking me,' but I didn't.
"I was up most of the night, couldn't sleep." I lied, and it wasn't a total lie, I couldn't sleep, just there was more to it.
"Your probably too excited to sleep, anyway, you said I could wear what ever dress I wanted, and I found two, I want you to come and help me decide!" Becky said, she was probably more excited than I was.
"Yeah, too excited. Anyway, give me a few to get a shower and get dressed, and I'll be over. My hair's a rat's nest." I said, trying to comb my fingers through my hair.
"Ok. I'll be waiting. Can't wait to help you and Alexander plan, I mean I know your gothic, but you should still have a pretty wedding." Becky was just waiting untill Matt asked her, then she would go even more crazy.
"K. Bye." I said, hitting the end button. I went to my closet and set out my 'Freak Show' shirt, black jeans, Emily Strange Hoodie, and my Demonia combat boots. I headed to the shower which had no hot water, which meant I was freezing, I would get Billy Boy for that, he knows if I sleep in he gets all the hot water. I combed the rat's nest out of my hair, got dressed, and gabbed all the stuff my mom and Becky had given me to plan the wedding ceremony thing and stuffed it in my Hello Batty bag, then grabbed a gnorla bar and got on my bike and went over to Becky's.
It was raining, luckily, my hoodie kept me from getting to soaked, I greeted Becky's Mom and told her Becky called me over. Becky was in her room with two dresses, one a midnight blue, with jewls embeded in the top, it flared down and had a cut down the leg, the other was a short red dress, with a ruffle at the bottom and a ribbon that tied in the back.
"Hi Rave. Which do you like better, I know it's at night so, I thought a bright color might look better, but then if it's in a graveyard I thought a darker color would look better. I can't decide!" Becky said, holding each dress up to see.
"Well, the red looks more like you. And We'll be in an open area in the graveyard, there won't be any graves, so it doesn't matter. But the red is nice." I said, I knew that was the one she wanted, not the dark one.
"Cool, so are you guys having a cake made? My Uncle owns the bakery down on 3rd Street, I could get a free cake for you!" Becky said, flipping through a cae booklet my mom had thrown in the pile.
"I don't know, but if you think your Uncle Mike can get us a free cake, then that would be great. I'm sure guest will want cake." I said, looking at another booklet with roses and suff.
"Alexander's family is comming in for the wedding right?" Becky asked, putting down her booklrt.
"Yeah, his cousin and friends too." I said remembering Claude and his gang driving by my house.
"That's good, tonight we can all get together for a movie. Down not too far they're showing Bram Stroker's Dracula at the drive in. Matt can take us if Jameson's busy. What do you think?" She asked.
"Cool. Sounds like fun. Maybe by then Alexander's family will be in and they can see the town too. You won't might if Alexander and I just meet you there though right?" I asked, remembering that I would have to ask him.
"Yeah, that's fine. It's not untill 10:00 anyway, it a weekend though so your mom won't mind right?" Becky asked, knowing it would be fine anyway.
"Yeah. Just I have to ask Alexander. Becareful, you never know what creep might be out tonight." I said, thinking about what Alexander had said about Claude.
"Ok. But we are in Dullsville, where everything is Dull. So I don't think anything will ever happen here." Becky didn't know about the undullness of Dullsville now.
"I know. I gotta go, it's starting to let up. I can get home and get ready before the movie, if you wanna keep some of these fourms to look over you can." I said, she picked a few of the pamplets up and thanked me.
I hopped on my bike and rode off. I kept my eye out for anything unusual, anything that might stand out, but Becky was right, it was dull. So I stopped worring and just kept riding.
"Hey!" It was Matt.
"What Matt?" I asked, stopping my bike.
"Is Becky home?"
"Why else would I be down on this road. Yeah, she's getting ready for the movie." I said, annoyed at the fact that he was stopping me.
"Ok. Bye." He said, driving off.
Everything was boring here, even the vampires, Jagger and Luna hadn't been see around, my brother did hang with Valentine, but not as often. Not since he got in trouble for the whole blood brother thing. Not only now did I have Maxwells to worry about, I had to worry about Claude and his gang, and this Royal Blood I keep hearing about. Too many vamps in Dullsville, I kinda miss the dullness.
"Mom, Becky invited Alexander and I to a double date with her and Matt tonight, mind if I go?" I asked, sounding innocent.
"Where to?" My dad butted in.
"Movie. Bram Stroker's Dracula." I said.
"Fine, be home by 12:00!" My mom said, as she continued doing the dishes. I walked up stairs, re-applied my black lipstick and dried my wet and soggy hair. I looked online to see when the graveyard would be availible for the ceremony, luckily, the night of the full moon was open. Lucky me. I headed out of the house and decided to walk to Alexander's instead of take the bike.
"Lookie here, Claude. Dinner and a Show." A big muscular guy said, Claude and his gang surrounded me.
"Hi, Freaks." I said by passing them. Claude grabbed my coat.
"Where are you heading on a lovly night like this, Goth Girl?" Apparently Claude didn't know who I was, I could use that to my advantage.
"To your cousin's. We have a date tonight, Claude." He looked extremly shocked that I knew who he was, I darted off before he could get me. I looked behind me once or twice to see if they were following.
I got to Benson Hill, where Alexander's Grandmother's mansion was. I remember the first night I was here. I knocked on the door, Alexander answered.
"Your cousin's in for a dinner and show." I said.
"You saw him! Where?" He asked, frightened, he didn't want me to get hurt.
"A few blocks down, he didn't know who I was. Hey, wanna go to a drive in movie? I told Becky we would meet her there at 10:00." I said, putting his mind on something else.
"Fine, but my Jameson will have to pick my parents up then." He said grabbing his jacket.
"Cool, by the way, I invited Scarlett and Oynx to the ceremony, we became good friends." I said.
"More vampires." He sighed. We then headed off, it was only a mile or two from his place, so we walked, it was 11:15 when we headed out. So we had time to kill, we made it just in time too. The previews had just ended whne we ran into Matt and Becky. And I'm pretty sure we all fell asleep before Dracula ran back to Romania in a desprite attempt to stay alive. We ate an etire thing of popcorn and finsihed our sodas.
For once I wasn't thinking about Jagger and Luna, it was just like being normal. Crap, I forgot, I was supposed to pick Billy up from Henrey's house today at 4:00, I had forgot, oh well, mom probably got him anyway.
"That was a good movie. Raven, Alexander, want me to drop you guys off." Matt asked. I wouldn't have mind walking, but now it was night and I did have more vampires to worry about.
"Sure. That would be great." I said. Alexander nodded and we headed off, Alexander was dropped off first, none of talked much, we were all too sleepy, Iknew it would be another sleepless night, just couldn't sleep, not with 2 bats outside my window, Jagger and Luna, every night they spied on me. They didn't know, that I knew they were there. They couldn't get in anyway, garlic was still at every enterance. So maybe I could....sleep. I fell asleep.
