Hey guys I'm back, its been like a century since ive been on and Im sorry its just im starting college soon and my computer is broken so ive been at the library trying to finish this. Heres a little something for you special people out there, I hope you like it.

Tokio hotel came blasting from the speakers in the parlor. I danced around in my black boxers and tank top shoeless. Jagger was sitting in a high back chair sipping on a juice box. I found that quite comical. Screamin' came screaming out and I melted. This song was awesome, I loved it. I danced over to Jagger who watched me with his mesmerizing eyes. I held my hands out to him and he shook his head. I rolled my eyes

"You are no fun." He held up the juice box

"I'm doing something." This caused me to laugh. We had just come back from the park and gone straight in to find a mega stereo hooked up with a super sweet sound system. Finally he hopped up. I thought he was going to dance but instead he walked over to the stereo and turned it down.

"What?" he turned to face me and said

"I have to tell you something very important." I frowned, kinda nervous. I didn't want to hear anything bad, everything was going so perfect. Slowly my hands came up and rested on my hips. His eyebrows rose slightly and a small smile appeared on his lips "its nothing bad you know, you don't have to go in tantrum mode." I pretended to be insulted and hit his arm. "Ok so you know how we are together right?" I nodded wondering where he was going with this "technically married."

"Yeah so what's up?" he thought for a moment then said

"Well it still kind of needs to be finalized. So, my parents were thinking…" My hands dropped

"Wait are we gonna have a wedding?" my heart stopped beating and hit the floor. I could not believe what he was saying. Jagger laughed at my expression

"No, not if you don't want to, it's kind of like a party, only sophisticated and traditional. It happens every time one of us gets bonded." Bonded, that was a nice word to use.

"So what do we do at this traditional party?" He knew I was laughing at him but he played along.

"We dance, and eat or drink…there is a special ceremony that honors the bonded couple, a bunch of family and friends are there and we just have fun." I was a bit surprised, I thought he was joking. He leaned into me and said "just think of it as something out of the Addams Family kay?" I relaxed immensely and placed my hands on his shoulders, he could be so soothing some times. The night went by quite slow, not that I complained. I didn't hang out with the girls, leaving Luna to her plans that had to do with the ruins. I was so nervous about that day. It was going to happen in a few days time. Jagger was oblivious to his twins' evil behavior. That gave me an idea

"Jag, can you read Luna's mind? You know what with you guys being twins and vampires." Jagger frowned and thought about it

"Well not really, I mean we can sometimes sense what's on the others mind, we think the same things and when we know that, we say it out loud. Why is she doing something she shouldn't? Should I, probe?" I laughed it off, knowing full well Luna would kill me.

"No I just wanted to know, um so anyway a party ceremony thing sounds great, when will it be?" Jagger turned the music back up and Kerli, Walking on Air was playing. He backed up till he was at his chair again and plopped down. He sipped again at his juice box

"Next month on the full moon, we will have a ritual, it'll be awesome. The wolves are gonna be at wolfs bay and they make the most beautiful noise and great food. You'll like it I promise." I grinned at him then continued to dance. Without school to occupy my days I could easily sleep in and not worry about anything outside our coffin, at night we chose to either stay in or go out. I found that being a vampire wasn't all so romantic all the time, what with the blood lust and all. But Jagger and Luna were helping me. Along with my new friends mainly Willow, who seemed to understand the most about craving. I spun and found Jagger gone from his chair. Shrugging I didn't' think much of it. My cell phone rang and I turned the music down so I could hear. It was Luna.

"Hey Loony what's up?" her voice came to me as an excited rush.

"Raven oh my goth you have to get down to the ruins, its beautiful the way we gothed it out." I should have known they were at the ruins. Now that I listened I could hear the ocean rushing in the background.

"Now? But I don't know where the ruins are, how am I supposed to get there?"

"Charlotte is coming to pick you up now, get dressed and wait for her, you are so gonna love this." Before I could assure her that I would not love it she hung up." I rolled my eyes at the dead phone then threw it down and turned off the music. I heard the blender start up and I followed it to the kitchen. Jagger was mixing himself up a ruby red drink with vanilla and cinnamon. He grinned at me and yelled over the roar of the machine

"Did you want something?" I shook my head

"No actually, I was coming to tell you that your wacky sister called me and I have to go meet her somewhere." Jagger stopped the blender and picked up the cup. He poured the drink into a tall glass and sipped it. When he offered me some I declined. I couldn't sit and bliss out to blood when I was needed at the ruins. I kissed his cheek though; I would never tire of pressing my lips to his warm skin, never. Jagger set the glass down and pulled me into his arms

"I hate that you have to go away, just for my sister, but I suppose I must share you with her, until she finds her own mate." He kissed my lips and I melted. It was hot and cold made me feel like I was flying and like I was being buried underground for eternity that was how good his lips made me feel. He stroked my hair away from my face and picked me up and set me on the counter. I caressed his face lovingly while we kissed and I couldn't help but feel as if we had done this many years ago. I really truly loved Jagger with all my black heart and I never wanted to let him go. Slowly Jagger pulled away and sighed. I was on the verge of telling Luna to go on without me but he cleared his throat and backed up, just a bit though. "I want to do something together later, I feel like we don't spend enough time together, even though we are always with each other."

"I know right?" I found myself saying still in a daze. Jagger helped me off the counter just to kiss me again. When we finally parted I was gasping for breath and knew I had to have more. He pushed me away

"Go get dressed, we'll have fun later."

"Ok" I said reluctantly "I'll be back soon." When he nodded I raced for the stairs and into my room. Choosing a torn white t-shirt that went to my knees and black leggings I threw them on with my ballet flats and reapplied my makeup and ran my fingers through my hair, fluffing it up and making it look fuller than it already was. By the time I was done, my ears picked up the doorbell being rung before someone answered. I grabbed my leather jacket and took the stairs two at a time.

Charlotte was standing in the foyer in a white dress and kitten ears waiting patiently, her red hair on her shoulders. "Hey Char!" I exclaimed hugging her when I reached her. She hugged me back, beaming

"It's so awesome what we've done since last night." She pulled me out the door yelling goodbye to Jagger on the way "and now you get to help."

"You pulled me out of goth heaven to help you hang streamers." I said but knowing I would love to help set up for a Goth fashion show/dance club. She ignored me as she dragged me down the driveway. "Where's your car?"

"Silly Raven will you ever get in the vampire mind set?" She sighed and let go of me. We were past the gate now and there were no cars or people in sight. Charlotte stretched her arms "we're gonna fly,"

"Ah, right of course." I had sorta gotten flying down. I practiced anytime I could. Charlotte took a deep breath and dived, suddenly she was a bat with dark green eyes and velvety smooth wings. She took off. I did the same thing focusing my body to become the small thing that would take me soaring. And just like that, I was in the air, flying after Charlotte. We swooped through the sky over low hanging paper lanterns and under café tables and chairs, where we frightened some diners half to death! The scenery was really amazing, the bright golden stars and fat milky white moon shone in harmony the fluffy dark blue black sky stretched like the desert in Egypt expanding and enveloping everything and everyone in its path. We became a part of the night, blending and disappearing all in one movement of tiny fluttering wings. Soon though, the scenery changed and I could hear the swish of water, it smelled of salt and sand. We flew over the ocean and made our way onto expansive land. Through a bit of trees and over a few brushes we came to a cozy enclosed estate. It was made from the stone of a thousand prisoners and was crumbling in some places. The double doors were made from glass which astonishingly was still intact. We took on our human forms again and made our way up the broken and dirty steps. Char pulled on the bell just for fun before twisting the handle and pushing the door open. We stepped into a huge empty room made of stone. We removed our shoes out of respect. The floor was cold and the air was chilly. This place used to belong to the most respected of the vampire royals. He was a king who lived with his queen and seven children all girls, except the youngest, who was to be king when his father stepped down. King Lucian Calen Myles Rasputano the third. He was royal extending from the Sanguine line. A prince of the blood. The story goes that he ruled the Underworld from this castle and all held court whether from his clan or another, he made treaties and war plans with almost every vampiric clan and could fight like a demon on his own. When the riots began the humans rushed his castle and tried to burn it to the ground. They took picks and axes and began hacking at the stone, desperate to rid the place of vampires. It killed King Lucian and his entire family, save for Caydence, his young son. Caydence fled the town and was never seen again. It is said in vampire folklore, that one day Caydence will return to his family's home and take the throne once more, and rule the vampires. That he will overtake the humans and purify all who are worthy.

Until then we are going to party it up in this hellish home and keep the seats warm for the vampire prince. We made our way into the long and wide hallway walking past stone archways that led to alcoves and bare walls that had left over tapestries on them.

"Guys we're here and ready to work," Charlotte yelled her voice echoing through-out the stone cave. Luna and Ivy soared into the room, bright Christmas lights and fake bats over their shoulders.

"Hey guys, Raven I'm so glad you came back. I'm sorry that we dragged you away from Jagger but we needed you like yesterday." I shrugged and walked with them through the castle. "So there will be a few more guests than intended but that's okay. There will be brilliant black and white and purple lights that flash over our pale skin," Luna sighed and skipped ahead. I followed suit. She showed me the tower that was filled with bats. There were huge ornate pots that she said would be filled with blood. Then she showed me the room where it would all go down. It was a big yet small room with no windows and a gilded doorway. Tapestries painted the walls, showing the tragic story of the king and his family. There were streamers and hooks along the walls and the ceiling was so deep it looked like a meteor had smashed through and caved it in. I smiled. It was going to be great. We carried in chairs and set them opposite the throne pedestal and then set to work with the decorations. Skylar and Ivy spent time in the hallways with big buckets of paint and glitter, while Charlotte and Willow set up the lights. Luna and I finished up in the dance room, setting up the special props and Ember walked around sipping from a tall cup and bendy straw. As Luna stood a candelabra by the window hangings she turned to me with a serious look on her face.

"Raven, do you love my brother?" I placed the feathers I was gluing together on the stool near me

"I guess, I told him so."

"But do you mean it? I know he took you against your will and you have no choice but to spend the rest of your life with him, that doesn't mean you have to love him. Not yet anyway." I thought about that, Luna was right. My heart was to Alexander since I first saw him I knew it was supposed to be us together, but Jagger had come and taken me from him. I did tell Jagger I loved him and I do have feelings for him, I did before this whole covenant situation kind of like Trevor, but was it love and if it wasn't would I ever love him.

"I like Jagger, this side of him, the one I see; you know when he's sweet and kind and funny. And every time we kiss I just go crazy." Luna smiled a little

"Only because you are mated, and your blood calls out to him. The attraction can't be helped and it's so strong, sometimes it's mistaken for love. I'm not trying to rip you from my brother, I just don't want him to get hurt, you can do whatever you want it's your relationship but I just want you to be careful. You are my sister after all." I smiled

"Ah Luna you're the best, I know at first I thought you were an evil chick who was hell bent on destroying everyone's happiness, but you aren't." Luna appeared a bit confused at that then let it pass. Willow came into the room just as we were done hugging holding a bag of stones of different colours and sizes.

"Hey girls, Ivy is gonna help me line the entrance hall you wanna get some votives?" Luna nodded and followed Willow out of the room while I finished up the quick little room.

Later that day; we chilled out in the bed of Falcons truck and flipped through potential songs to dance to. Luna and Willow were moving toward the punk rock feel while Skylar, Ember, and Ivy wanted a little pop R&B to flow to. Metal was thrown in the later pile while pop rock was for in between. Willow's older brother owned the blood bank and imported only the freshest bottles from Russia, Hungary, and Italy on a regular basis so we had a never ending flow of drinks. And since Ember was twenty-one she supplied alcohol and a special vamp drug. I don't do drugs but Luna explained that it wasn't like human drugs; it was safe but frowned upon by the older vamps. Ivy turned the music up and took a sip from her bottle as she checked out the outfits in a goth mag.

"Ooh how cute?" she showed us a deep blue corset dress with leather ties and pleated skirt on the next page were a pair of bubble goth shoes that were white lace and silk. Although I didn't wear white I had to admit they were cute and I found myself wondering if I should order them. The girls scanned through the magazines and every so often popped a cd in the player to give it a check.

"So, how close are you to Hailey, Genesis, Katarina and Isobel?" I asked Luna. She shrugged

"Hailey and I used to hang out all the time, but then they moved a few times. Kat is my closes friend. She hangs with us sometimes and Genny is cool. Isobel is shy so we don't talk that much, why?" this time I shrugged

"I was just wondering why Hailey was giving me the evil eye." Luna waved it away

"She and Jagger used to date, an eternity ago but she won't get over it just ignore her, and she'll let it go after a while if you hang around too much with Jagger." At that I smiled at her and went back to flipping through the magazine. It was getting even darker out so we decided to lock up and go back to the town. On our way back Jagger texted me and told me to meet him at the factory close to the cemetery. Luna knew where it was, so we raced there. "Here we are, the Rush Factory, this is where a goth cult used to meet in the early 1900's. They did rituals here and everything. Mother and Father said it was fun." I looked up and saw the factory. It was a typical factory with huge windows and scratched doors and brick.

"Awesome, later girls!" the girls all waved and then they were gone. Slowly I walked up the path to the factory doors. Pushing them open was easy and only a little dust fell from the ceiling. I moved through the factory down the short hallway and came out looking up at the catwalk. Poles and crates were stacked to the ceiling; it was different from the factory in dullsville, darker, more sinister, but less graffiti on the walls and doors. Chains suspending a case of importations above my head rattled slightly and I turned down the hall to find Jagger

"Jag, where are you." I came down the hall and looked from side to side and saw a freight elevator, it was bigger than the one in the Sinclair mill and ajar by a few inches. I peeked through the crack and glimpsed a figure standing very still in the middle of the floor. I smiled wide. "Hey lover, what's so special about this place? Is it the elevator, would you like me to come in?" I wasn't used to flirting this much especially with someone I was mated too but I decided to wing it. Suddenly the door flew open and the figure threw itself at me so hard I felt my breath rush out of me. "Hey…" then I was cloaked in darkness.

Well that's this chapter, I didn't have any intentions of the happening I swear. I just didn't know what to write but I knew it had to be something cuz its been a long time
