'You led me here, just to kill me?' I couldn't believe what was just happening.
Her eyes darted toward Aaron, and turned serious.
'No,' She whispered, and turned to face me, 'Evan is in Pennsylvania. Some where in Plymouth Meeting, I think. You need to go there, right away.'
Killing me was the last thing she wanted to do. She probably would have done it anyway when she had the chance.
'Thanks Amy.' I whispered, and glanced at Aaron.
'Go, now.' She pushed me, and I took off running. I heard Aaron yelling at Amy, and a few gun shots. Something caught my foot, and I fell over.
'You're not getting away again.' Aaron's voice was in my ear. I felt his teeth at my throat.
'No.' I gasped. When I fell over, I had the wind knocked out of my body, and I was gaping for breath.
'Forgive me, Raven.' My body went limp, as his bite broke the surface of my skin.

I awoke, feeling pain running trough out my body. I moaned, and tried to fall back asleep, when I realized where I was.
'Raven? Are you awake?' I heard a soft voice come from beside me.
I was laying on a bed, silk sheets lied under me. My hands forced up to protect myself from anything.
'Raven, stop. Calm down.'
I recognized the voice.
'Evan?' I croaked.
'Sleep, you need it.' His voice sounded sad.
'Where am I?' I tried to open my eyes, succeeding very little.
'Don't worry, you're safe.'
'Evan.' I mumbled, and fell back into a deep sleep.

'I don't know what happened Ashley ... I found her half dead when I was going to see Aaron.'
'Well, ask her when she wakes up. I need to  know what happened there.'
My body shook, I had no idea where I was, and I felt terrible.
'Evan?' I coughed and sat up. My eyes opened, Evan's face was inches from my face. He startled me, I almost forgot his perfect features.
His eyes shifted back and forth, the coldness of his hand on my cheek felt refreshing.
'Raven.' His hands found my face, and his lips pressed against mine, almost roughly.
I have no time to think what so ever. He backed away and gave me a dirty look.
'Evan, what?'
He scowled at me.
'I can taste him on you.' He got up off the bed.
'Evan, I never wanted that to happen!' I let the tears fall from my eyes, feeling like they turned ice at the coldness of my face.
'THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN!?' His arms flailed out.
'Why don't you believe me?' I pushed the sheets from a top of me, and got up.
'Because, I saw him, Raven.' His eyes closed, and he pressed his fists up against his temples.
'He took full advantage of me, Evan.' I walked up to him. 'Why can't you just realize that i didn't want that to happen. I hated every moment. I love you, Evan.'
He didn't reply.
The tears running from my eyes came in full force again. I started wailing. Evan grabbed my shoulders, and gave me a shake.
'RAVEN! Calm down! You need to rest.'
'WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE ME!?' I dropped to my knees, and buried my face in my hands.
I remembered that day. The day that Evan promised never to see me at all. I never wanted to bring the subject up again. He walked to the window, and opened it. I realized it was raining pretty hard.
'I need time to think. It's not like the last time, those were just words. These were actions, Raven. And to make it better, I saw those actions. You have no idea how hard it was for me to actually see that happening.' Evan came back to my side, and kelt down in front of me. His marble lips pressed against my forehead. I moved my head up and grabbed him. My eyes were bloodshot from crying, and my cheeks hurt from rubbing my face.
My body shook with weakness, but I tackled him to the ground.
'Raven ...'
He was cut off, I pressed my lips to his silencing his words. Right now words were the last thing that we both needed. I wanted to show him that I trusted him with my life, and how must I love him. My mind couldn't think of what would happen if he left.
I came up for air from the kiss. Evan took a deep breath and opened his eyes. Black. His lips were parted a little exposing his fangs, which were now drawn.
'Slut.' Even mumbled, tried to get up. I was taken aback by his comment. My eyes grew wide. I pulled my arm back, and slapped him. The sound scared us both, it was louder then supposed to be. A few seconds later, a red mark formed on the side of his face. My eyes, as his, were black with anger.
'What did you call me?' I bent my face closer to his. Before I knew it, Evan was straddling my hips, holding my wrists above my head, and his cheek was pressed to mine, whispering in my ear.
'You made love to Aaron, and liked it. If you didn't like it that much, you could have ran. I can't believe you did that. You broke your promise, and made me realize it was all just a lie. Just to give you what you wanted. Eternal Damnation. You showed me dreams, and made me think that I could actually love you. It could have been forever, but ruined thanks to you. I still remember that smile, when Aaron took you. It tore me apart. Really, Raven. Think logically.' Tears formed in his eyes. 'I truely believed that you could help me. My mind told me you were an angel, straight from the heaven I was banned from for all eternity. It was all just a lie.' He got off of me and headed for the window again. 'Goodbye, Raven.' And he was gone.
'EVAN DON'T!' I ran to the window, looking out. He was no where in sight. I jumped out, landed on my feet, and started running. 'EVAN!' I screamed, running. The rain pellets hit me, soaking my clothing. My screams were lost in the breeze and the smell of the rain. My heart was ripped out, stolen and never to be seen again. I was still so weak, and decided to stop running.
I let out a scream and dropped to my knees.

The plane ride home was depressing. I cried silently to myself, thinking what it would be like to start a new life with Evan, in stead of getting as far away as possible from him. People started to stare when I wouldn't stop crying.
'Excuse me, Miss? Do you want a pillow ... water, anything?' A kind woman brought me back to reality.
'No, thank you.' I croaked, and rested my head back against the window, staring out at the night sky, wanting to melt away with the stars as the sun began to rise. Evan promised, in his own words, never to see me again. And I wanted so much to tell him what happened that night with Aaron. And tell Ashley how much she was like a mother to me. Accepted me into her coven even when it was just a mistake. Or planned. My mind kept playing, over and over again, how Evan and I would just live a happy life together. And have no one in the world mess anything up.
Slipping through security wasn't hard at all, I still had the gun tucked into my jeans.
I stole another car, and stared my way home. The sun was still climbing it's way up in the sky when I reached home.

Home was normal. The glasses that Amy and I drank out of lied in the sink. Walking up the stairs to my room was like a chore. I was extremely weak. School was another thing. It was new years, and I can't spend it with Evan.
'You can spend it with me.'
I looked up.
'Can you just leave me to die in my own guilt?' I half whined. My body was tired, I hadn't had the strength to fight with Aaron now.
'Your guilt? You didn't do anything.' His eyes were kind, and fixed on me, and only me.
'Please, just leave me alone.' I walked slowly over to the TV and turned it on. The ball was just about to drop.
'With your pesky boyfriend out of the way, I don't think I can do that.' His face lightened up, a devilish smile appeared.
'I don't love you.' I stated, staring at the TV. I crossed my arms, counting in my mind. '9 ... 8 ... 7 ...'
'You don't have to.' I heard him chuckle underneath his breath.
'Lust isn't love, Aaron.' I scowled. '4 ... 3 ... 2 ...'
'One.' His voice was close.
'Happy new year.' I mumbled.
'I will win you, sometime. We do have all eternity.'
'You practically raped me, and you expect me to love you?' I turned to look at him, he was still sitting on the edge of the bed.
'Well, lets think. What does Evan have that I don't have.' He smiled. That was hard. Evan was perfect in every single way, and yet Aaron was too. For the first time, I actually thought of Aaron to be attractive. Their perfection was completely different ... yet exactly the same.
'A heart.' I gave him a look. He laughed,
'No ... really.' He got up, and looked me straight in the eye.
'Are you really serious?' His hands held mine to my side.
'Really.' He bent his face to mine, once again, so his forehead and nose were touching my own.
'You're nothing like him.' I thought, this Evan topic was bringing tears to my eyes. I turned away, stepping on the heal of my sneakers to kick them off.
'You're not watching me undress.' His face went serious.
'What kind of man do you think I am?'
'You raped me, your first impression was a bad one.' He let out a sigh.
'That wasn't my fault.'
'Yes! It was.'
'It's called thirst, Raven. You just haven't experienced it's full force.'
'Fine, I'm getting changed somewhere else.' I grabbed my clothes, and walked out of the room, heading for the bathroom. I got changed, thinking. Aaron was here, and I didn't know why, that's another question left unanswered. I wanted to know if he really loved me.
Walking back into the room, I never made eye contact with Aaron. I grabbed my cd player, and any CD that was in sight.
'Can I stay the night?' I heard his voice, he sounded concern.
'Sure, just don't touch me, or anything else.' I stood in front of him, and motioned my hand for him to move over. He scooted, and I jumped in, pulling the sheets up to my chest, turning on the first song.
Apology - by Alesana
'You know, that's rude.'
'What is.' I tried to sound bored.
'Nothing.' He paused, 'Where am I sleeping?'
'In the backyard.' I sighed.
'No, really.' He giggled.
'Where ever you so damn well please.' I didn't get a reply right away, but when I felt his arm wrap around my waist, his lips were at my ear.
'How about right here?' His voice was intoxicating.
'You butt rape me in the middle of the night, you die.' I smiled, and eased into the feeling of someone holding me.
His laugh was even more mesmerizing.
'Won't you face me?' He pleaded. I turned myself around so that I was facing him. I kept my arms at my side. When I saw him, it hit me. His shirt was off, exposing his chest before my face, and his hair was let down, falling to his shoulders. I shifted my hair, so it was in my face, and he couldn't see me looking.
I felt his hands move up my arms, onto my shoulders, and onto my face.
'Raven, tell me something.' His words sounded doubtful.
'Shoot.' I looked up at him.
'Do you still have feelings for Evan?'
