Chapter three is up guys! Yay, I told myself to sit down and write. And of course I cried and whined but I was persistent I told myself not to get up or there would be something coming to me. So I wrote this for you guys, happy? Laugh laugh hope you enjoy this. (:
When my mom woke up we were all leaning over her. She blinked at me and said
"Raven, who what's going on" I took a deep breath as everyone backed up. Billy boy was staring at Luna and Jagger openly. I saw Luna give him a smile before I focused on my parents
"Um mom dad, look I have to leave" Dad folded his arms
"Excuse me? You are not going anywhere young lady, where is Alexander and why are you with…these two." Jagger gave me a cold look I continued
"Dad, believe me I don't want to go but I have to think of it as a vacation."
"Raven please explain yourself where do you have to go and why?" my mom demanded to know. She was a little red in the face but was regaining her balance. Dad put his arm around her and helped her stand
"Where is Alexander" Dad repeated and my heart clenched once more at his name. It hurt so much and we weren't even out of Dullsville. I missed him like I missed oxygen, which I realized I didn't need anymore.
"We, broke up, um and now I'm dating…Jagger" Jagger stepped forward as if that was his cue
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Madison nice to meet you I am Jagger Maxwell and this is my twin sister Luna."
"Aren't you that girl who's dating Trevor?" Billy boy asked and Luna threw her long white hair back
"Was" she corrected then said "Jagger can we make this quick I'm bloodthirsty"
"Of course I'll skip right to the point, Raven is going to Romania with me on a scholarship of some kind, and you will never see her again so it would be better to just forget about her. Do you understand me" Jagger was staring into my mom's eyes intently. And something odd happened. My mom nodded and said
"Of course, we won't think of Raven again." I turned to find Luna staring at my brother doing the same thing and to my utter horror she seemed to have my dad enthralled as well. Then they fell
"Mom, dad, Billy" I cried and grabbed my mom before she could hit the floor. Then I just held her to me as tears fell down my cheeks. Jagger was moving on
"Luna get her things, clothes any keepsakes whatever you can carry and take it to my car, we're leaving soon." Luna nodded and disappeared. I sank to the floor with my mom crying harder than I ever had in my life. I felt Jagger staring at me but I didn't care I needed my mom more than ever, and she wouldn't even remember me. Suddenly I felt a strong hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Jagger. His green and blue eyes stared past my tears and anguish and saw inside my soul. "Raven" he said
"What? Why did you do this, all for revenge that I had nothing to do with. I wasn't a part of it."
"You were a part of the plan to humiliate my family again Raven I am not stupid" more tears poured down my cheeks
"I never said you were Jagger but you didn't have to end my life." He got to his knees in front of me and wiped my tears away. I contemplated pushing his hand away but his fingers were soft and his hand was strong.
"I didn't want to hurt you only Sterling, I thought this was what you wanted, to be a vampire"
"At first it was, but then I met Alexander and I only wanted it for love, and you I could never love." He didn't say anything for a moment then he cradled my face
"You'll be happy I promise Raven, I didn't want to hurt you, never. When I first saw you I knew I wanted you. Wanted to be with you and love you, and then I found out you belonged to Sterling and I couldn't take it, I needed to have you. This thing with Luna, I know he will never love my sister and soon Luna will figure that out for herself but I will tell you one thing Raven; you will love me." I couldn't believe Jagger was spilling his hear t to me, and so soon. I almost felt something for him. Understanding and comfort, yes he turned me but not against my own free will because in the end this was what I wanted only for Alexander to do it. I put my hand on his
"I want to be happy Jagger I really do, and if you can make me happy then that's fine, but don't expect anything from me please." He managed a small grin
"Yes my love" he sighed in relief, never triumph. Then he said in an almost gentle whisper "Sterling never deserved you Raven I know that for sure." My heart did something then. It…fluttered and I couldn't believe it but I kind of liked it. He helped me up and I smoothed my dress out just as Luna came around the corner with two black suitcases and my Edward Scissorhands lamp. She smiled
"All ready you two" I managed a nod then looked down at my family
"I love you guys" I whispered before we left the house. A part of me was angry at Alexander when we made it up the street to the hearse. He hadn't showed up at the house nor was he leaning against the car, fangs out demanding that Jagger hand me over, the other part of me was relieved that he wasn't there; I almost kind of wanted to be taken away. I think that even though I will never love Jagger I can tolerate him and his personality. He opened the passage side door for me then went and helped Luna with my bags. She plopped down in the back and leaned forward
"Are you excited Raven?" she asked in an eerie voice.
"I think so Luna" her smile was a comfort to me; it was like what had happened at the graveyard had disappeared from her mind. We were best friends again. Jagger got in and started to drive, he made many calls on the way to the tree house and more when the coffins and other things were in the car again. He spoke Romanian so only Luna could understand him, for she made little comments in English about whatever the conversation was about. We passed signs and I almost cried when I saw the 'You Are Now Leaving Dullsville' sign. I never thought a day in my life that I would be sad to be leaving Dullsville but here I was blubbering like a baby as memories flashed across my mind like the rain that started up after a while of driving. When Jagger got off the phone he alternated between glancing at me and keeping his focus on the road. After a while Jagger touched my hand. I looked down at his pale fingers slowly intertwining with my own and I started shaking. I hand was hot, but a good hot comfortable and soothing. I closed my eyes and allowed him to take my hand. From the back Luna yawned. Her yawn made me blink and yawn myself. The sun wasn't even up yet and my eyes were struggling to stay open against my will. I wanted them to close but they wouldn't. I vaguely saw a sign saying Hipsterville was only some miles away then I slept.
When I opened my eyes I was in a basement loft. Hundreds of candelabras stood around me. An aquarium with rocks and a deadly tarantula sat in the corner on a radiator. Jagger's apartment, I saw his coffin encircled in dirt and next to it Luna's pale pink casket. I swayed as everything blurred in and out of focus, but a strong hand tightened around my waist and I thankfully leaned into my wall. Jagger chuckled as I tried to fall asleep with my head on his chest.
"Tomorrow night we'll be on a jet to Romania then you'll be more comfortable, but for now we'll have to squeeze into my coffin." At that my eyes popped right open. I'd never been inside a coffin before, Alexander was always so reluctant to let me sleep in his coffin, but now I would be able to sleep in one and with another vampire (even if that other vampire was Jagger Maxwell) I nodded eagerly and then the floor disappeared from underneath me and I was in Jagger's arms. He was so strong for a small skinny guy. His long white hair tickled my face as he carried me to the coffin and kicked it open. I heard the elevator ding then someone with heels came walking down the hall. Luna opened the door and skipped over to us. Jagger lowered me into the coffin and I sighed. The comforter was so soft, I noticed my Hello Batty pillow and dark purple baby blanket were waiting for me. Luna leaned over blocking out what little light was shining from the candelabras
"I thought you might like that, something familiar" I smiled genuinely
"Thank you Luna I appreciate this so much" Luna shrugged
"What are sisters for" she blew me a kiss, kissed Jagger on his cheek then whooshed away. Jagger moved from my view as well and the candles went out. There was silence for a while then something warm was crawling into the coffin next to me. Jagger's warm breath appeared on my neck and his strong arms wrapped around me. I found myself cuddling with him and I couldn't help myself. My eyes closed and I slept, forgetting for once that Alexander had even existed.
