Caged Wings

Chapter Eleven: A Night by the Moonlight

It was an hour before Raven had to go meet Dimus. She gets up and gets her bag. She drops the card that Dimus gave her on the floor as she walks to the bathroom, not knowing she dropped it.

She opens her bag and gets out a few clothes. She changes into them. She fixes her hair and once again puts a raven feather in it. She then puts on silver, dangling earrings that Hikari had given her last week.

Raven then looked at herself in the mirror as she put on black eyeliner. She wore a tight, black, spaghetti strap dress that went just above her knees. They had bright purple laces showing at the very front of it on her bosom. On the back showed the same. She wore fish net gloves, with black ribbion, that went just below her elbows. She also wore a black ribbion choker.

Raven then laces up her black hiking boots. She then grabs a black leather purse and puts it over her shoulder. She finally comes out of the bathroom. Sith was glued on to the game still. Zero looks, "Don't you look nice."

Raven smiles and nods, "Thank you."

Evan comes in the room. His eyes widened as soon as he saw Raven, "Woah! Hot alert!"

Raven chuckles at Evan's comment. Evan then asks, "Where're you off to?"

Raven then says, "I just need to meet up with someone. I'll be back in a few hours."

Raven finally goes to leave, "I'll see you guys later. Bye."

Zero nods, "Have a good time."

Sith mutters, "Later."

Evan doesn't say anything. As soon as she left, he looks to Zero and Sith, "Someone? Who's someone?"

Zero shrugs, "She didn't say anything to me."

Sith then says, "It's probrably no big deal if she didn't tell us."

Evan then nods, "Hm. I guess you're right."

Evan then goes to walk to the bathroom when he looks down to the floor. He sees a card. He squats down and picks it up. He reads it. The Night Rave. Evan then catches a very abnormal scent. He sniffs the card. His eyes widened. It was the scent of man that wasn't human. A vampire to be precise, but different. Evan then says to himself, "A date...."

Evan felt a pinch of resentment and anger. He stands up and looks at the card once again. He then crumples the card in his hand. He growls a bit as he looks to the door.

Raven walks the street, searching for the club Dimus was going to meet her at. She sees a lot of guys from different races gawk at her. She grips the strap of her purse nervously. She finally finds The Night Rave. As she goes to walk in, an ogre comes in her way. He smirks at her, "Hey, babe. Care for a good time tonight?"

Raven then says calmly, "Um.....no thanks."

The ogre comes even closer, "Aw...come on. It'll be worth your while."

Raven then feels an arm wrap around her. Her eyes widened to see it was Dimus. His eyes narrow into a glare, "I'll make it worth my while when I tear you to pieces."

The ogre's eyes widened as he shoke a little, "This.....this is your girl, D-Dimus?"

Dimus glares at him more, "Yeah, she is. I suggest you back off unless you want your hide displayed for every paying customer!!!"

The ogre nods, "O-okay, Dimus. I-I'm sorry."

The ogre then turns and runs off. Dimus shakes his head and mutters, "Imbecile."

He then looks down at Raven, "You alright?"

Raven nods, "Yeah. I'm fine."

Dimus shakes his head, "I'm sorry for that. Some people can be....idiots."

Raven chuckles, "I hear you there."

Dimus smiles at her, "Shall we?"

Raven smiles and nods. Dimus then escourts her inside. Inside was bright purple and blue lights flashing. The floor looked like glass with sand underneth. There were mirrors on two of the walls with a lot of tables. In the center was a huge area where people danced. In front of them was a stage with a DJ playing a bunch of songs.

The bar was across the room with stools in a row. In another corner of the room was a few pool tables and dart boards. Raven smiles at the sight. This was her kind of place. Dimus sees Raven's reaction and smiles, "I thought you'd like this place."

Raven smiles, "You thought right."

Dimus bows, "Your welcome."'

Raven giggles. Dimus then grabs her hand and leads her to a table. They both sit at it. Dimus finally notices Raven's outfit. He smiles at her. Raven sees, "What?"

Dimus smiles, "I can see why that ogre wanted you now."

Raven raises an eyebrow, "And what's that suppose to mean?"

Dimus chuckles, "It means you look gorgeous."

Raven blushes a little, "Oh....um......thanks."

Dimus winks at her, "Pleasure..."

Raven looks at him and starts to laugh. Dimus smiles at her more, "You have a magnificent laugh."

Raven covers her mouth as her eyes widened. Dimus chuckles at her shyness, "Hey....it was a compliment. Don't you get any of those?"

Raven shakes her head, "No....at least not often."

Dimus smirks, "Well....you should. As often as possible"

Raven smiles, "You're sweet."

Dimus smiles, "Only to you, hun. Only to you."

A catchy song starts to play as Dimus and Raven look at one another. Dimus finally says, "Do you dance?"

Raven smirks, "Please. I'm native. I love to dance."

Dimus smirks, "That's a definate yes."

He then stands up and holds his hand out to her. Raven looks at his hand and then at him. She finally takes his hand. Dimus then takes her to the dance floor. He spins her and pulls her close. Raven gasps and chuckles. Raven then wraps her arms around him and began to dance to the beat. Dimus smiles as he dances along with her.

Dimus places his hands on her waist as they danced. He then places a hand on her back and pulls her even closer to him, their bodies now touching. Dimus then spins Raven again, only this time, her back was now touching his chest. He then places a hand on her stomach as he moved along with Raven's body. Raven smiles deviously as the music went on. They dance a little lowly as they then worked themselves back up. Raven moves her hips side to side. Dimus smirks as he too began to move side to side.

Raven then turns herself around and grabs Dimus by the collar of his shirt with one hand. She pulls him close and smirks. Dimus smirks back as he then grabs her and quickly dips her downwards and hooks one of her legs to his side.

Raven bites her lip as her eyes glittered to the flashing lights. Dimus was dazed by her look. Her eyes hypnotic and her aura strong with warmth. He could feel her heartbeat pick up a few paces. Not out of fear, but from dancing. Dimus then dips her downwards again, only this time, he finally lets her leg go. They then look at one another as they step side to side to the music. Rubbing against one another. Dimus then spins her back and forth and Raven then pulls him towards her.

They then stand beside one another and start to dance a little russian-like. People stared and clapped their hands to the beat. Dimus goes a little faster. Raven smirks as she then catches up with ease. They both spin around and dance side to side. Raven spins with a roundhouse kick as Dimus does a backflip. The song finally ends as people clapped their hands at the performance. Raven does a small curtsy and Dimus takes a bow. They both look at one another, smiling.

They then go to the bar and order a drink. Dimus and Raven panted a little. Dimus smirks, "You're quite good on your feet."

Raven smirks and says jokingly, "Would you like to see what I'm like off my feet?"

Dimus' eyes widened and then he chuckles. He says slyly, "Is that an invitation?"

Raven winks, "Maybe......maybe not."

Dimus smirks, "Now you're just being tempting. Very tempting."

Raven smirks, "I can be when I want to."

Dimus grins, "Can you now? I doubt you're even trying right now."

Raven chuckles, "You're right. I'm not."

Dimus chuckles with her as their drinks arrive. Raven takes a sip. Dimus watches her, "You're so beautiful."

Raven puts her glass down and looks at Dimus as he continues, "And I mean it."

Raven blushes slightly, "Umm.....thank you."

Dimus smiles at her, "You don't need to be shy around me."

He then puts a hand on Raven's hand. He holds it tightly. Raven smiles at him. Raven then asks, "Why did you bring me here? Out of curiousity."

Dimus smiles softly, "I wanted to get to know you more. I thought having some fun is a good start."

Raven smiles, "Fun is a good start."

Dimus stares at her, "I'm glad you think so."

Raven nods, "Thank you for this. I know we haven't known one another for long......but....to me it feels like much longer."

Dimus leans in closer to her, "It feels like it to me too."

They both look at one another. Both with passion. No spoken words. Dimus wanted to kiss her right then and there. But he couldn't. Raven felt taken by warmth. Feelings began to flourish within her all at once. Dimus finally takes his drink and drinks it up. He then says, "I should get you home. Don't want to worry your friends."

Raven nods, "Okay."

They both stand up and begin to walk out of the club. Dimus then places an arm around her as he puts a hand in his pocket. They both look at one another with a smile.

Evan paced back and forth in the livingroom. Feeling anxious and frustrated. Sith was still playing a game, "Dude, what's you're problem?"

Evan then says, "It's been three hours! She's still not back!!"

Sith then says, "Geez, calm down. It's only been three hours, Big whoop."

Evan was starting to get angry, "I'm worried, okay?!! You know, for someone whose sister is out late, you sure don't look worried."

Sith then says, "It's cause I'm not. She can take care of herself. Stop being paranoid."

Sith then says sarcastically, "If it bothers you that much, why not wait outside for her."

Evan then says, "Good idea."

He then walks to the door. Sith put the paddle down, "It was only a joke!"

Evan had already went outside. Sith shakes his head as he continues his game, "Idiot."

Evan goes outside and smells the air. He tried to calm himself. He felt angry, hurt, and a little betrayed. He then kicks the nearest tree as hard as he could. He left a dent in it. He growls loudly. Fangs were visable and his nails began to grow longer. He looks at his hand. His eyes widened, "Oh no! Oh God....no!!"

He looks up and sees a full moon get uncovered by clouds. His eyes glew red as his heartbeat slowed and deepened. He then falls on his knees and screams in pain. He grabs his chest as his ears began to grow and he began to get more hair on his entire body. He falls foreward on his hands as they then started to transform into paws with razor sharp claws. His scream then turned into a snarling roar. He began to grow a snout and a tail. He began to grow muscle as well.

Roars were heard in the air. The last thing that was heard was a howl.

Sith hears a howl outside that was very close. He pauses the game and puts the paddle down, "Evan?"

He stands up and looks outside, "Evan, I think you should come inside now."

He then walks outside, "Evan! Where the hell are you?"

He then hears a growl. Sith looks and sees a pair of glowing red eyes. Sith backs up, "Evan? You can come out now."

The thing then jumps at him. Sith jumps back, "Gah! Fuck!"

He then punches the thing in the face and runs to the house, "Zero!!"

The thing then shakes his head to snap out of it and he then began to chase Sith to the house. Sith runs inside and locks the door, "Zero!! Help!"

Zero comes, "What's going on?"

A bang was heard and a dent was formed in the door. Zero jumps, "Ah! What the fuck is that?!"

Sith grabs his sythe, "A werewolf!"

Zero grabs his Naginata, "Shit! How did that happen?"

Sith shouts, "Who cares?! Just shut up and brace yourself!"

There was silence now. Nothing was heard, not even a pin dropping. Then.....CRASH!!!

The werewolf jumps through the door. He tries to get at Sith. He dodges when the werewolf managed to knock his sythe from his hands. Zero and Sith got a good look at the werewolf. It was built quite a bit in height and width. It had glowing red eyes, white razor sharp fangs with black claws. His fur was messy and silver with a tint of black. He sniffs the air and growls. He then jumps at Zero and Sith grabs him, "RUN!!"

Zero nods, "Hold on a sec!."

He then runs to the shelf of spellbooks, "Keep it busy for a minute!!"

Sith gets thrown back to the wall, "Ugh! No problem."

Sith gets up, trying to gain his breath back, due to the wind that was knocked out of him. The werewolf growls and began to circle his prey. Sith looks to see his sythe, but it was behind the creature. Sith mutters, "Fuck...."

He clenches his fists as they began to glow a purple aura. Sith grits his teeth, "Come on....."

The werewolf growls at him as he got ready to pounce.

Dimus walked Raven all the way to Zero's house. They were at the foot of the property. Raven turns and looks at Dimus. She smiles, "Thank you...."

Dimus smiles as he steps closer to her, "Pleasure was all mine."

Raven bites her lip and smiles. Dimus closes in on her, ready to kiss her. Raven felt it was as if she'd fallen into one of her dreams. As Dimus' lips was inches away from Raven's, he whispers, "Go help your friends. We'll meet another time."

Raven's eyes widened, "What? My friends?"

She looks to the house. She turns back, "But when-?"

Dimus was already gone. Raven sighs as she then turns to head inside the house. She sees the door smashed. Her eyes widened as she ran inside.

She saw the werewolf was ready to pounce on Sith. She drops her purse, "SITH!!!"

Sith sees Raven as the werewolf turns around to look at her. Raven's eyes widened at what was going on. The werewolf stands up on it's hind legs and walks to Raven. She looks at the creature before her. He had a ripped shirt and ripped shorts. Raven began to quiver a little. Afraid to fight or even try to kill this creature. Why?

The werewolf slowly walks towards her. Sith's eyes widened, "RAVEN!!!"

Raven didn't move. The werewolf was now face to face with her. He then places his snout on her hair and sniffs her. Raven closes her eyes as she feels this creature take in a breath and breathe out a breath. It was warm and chilling at the same time. The werewolf leans back to look at her. Raven opens her eyes and looks up at it.

Zero's eyes widened as he then drops his spellbook.

The werewolf goes down on all fours and whines to Raven. Her eyes widened even more. It almost looked as if the werewolf was cowering before her. Sith's eyes widened, "Huh?"

The werewolf stares at Raven. She then steps closer to it, drawn. She sticks her hand out to it. Sith then shouts, "Raven, don't!!"

The werewolf then came up to Raven's hand and licked it. It whined again. Raven then starts to pet the side of its face. Zero looks to the werewolf and then to Raven. He then says, "It's acting like......like it knows you, Raven..."

Raven looks in the werewolf's eyes as she kept on petting him, "I think I know him too."

Sith's eyes widened, "Him?"

Raven then falls into the creature with her arms wrapped around it. The werewolf began to shake a little. Raven began to shed tears, "I'm here...."

She then kisses the werewolf on its head. Sith's eyes widened, "Never in my life......have I ever seen this happen."

Raven leans back and looks into the werewolf's eyes. She whispers softly, "Hold on......"

Her eyes then went cloudy white. She then mutters something under her breath. The clouds outside began to shift. Thunder was also heard. Clouds then covered the moon outside as a storm was forming. It then began to rain.

The werewolf began to transform. It whines in pain as it does. Raven hugs him more as tears streamed down her face. It's claws grew smaller, along with it's ears, and fur. Zero and Sith's eyes widened as the werewolf was turning back into a human.

After the transformation was done. Zero and Sith gasped. Sith raises an eyebrow, "E-Evan?!"

It was indeed Evan. He was the werewolf that had attacked Sith and Zero. Raven leans back and takes a good look at him, "Oh God...."

Evan then looks at Raven. His sight was blurry, but he could still tell it was her. He whispers, "Raven....."

He then passes out in Raven's arms.
