“I’ll be back in the morning. I am not in New York! I will explain it to you later. Please don’t be mad at me!” He pleaded with me not to be mad, but that was impossible at this moment. “Angelic is on her way there to keep you company while I am gone. She is running so she should be there any minute. Raven I love you, but I really have to go.” He hung up the phone on me.
“I know that he did not just hang up on me!” I mumbled angrily to myself.
I went to walk out the door to blow off some steam, but I was met in the hallway by Ang.
“Where do you think your going?” She asked seriously.
“Out!” I answered mad.
“I don’t think so.” She said back to me. “You have daywalker’s after you, your not going any where!”
“Angelic. I am really ticked off right now, so please just let me by!”
“I can’t. I told Mica that I would keep you safe. Go back in and we will talk.”
I eyed her, but follwed her in the door. I had some serious questions for her, and if I did not like the answer’s then I will leave one way or another, and I know it won’t be easy getting past her, but I will think of something. I sat down on the sofa and glared at her.
“Don’t be mad at me Rave. I havn’t done anything!”
“Tell me then! Where is he and what is he doing that he can not tell me about? Is he out drinking blood like you do and don’t want me to know?”
“Of course he isn’t!” She sounded irritated at that thought, but I did not care at the moment. “I can’t tell you. I’m sorry Raven. It is his secret to tell not mine.”
“I’m not sure if Mica realizes this, but I do not take secrets been hidden from me and lying and getting hung up on and no explainations, very nicely. I tend to get really pissed and loose my temper.” I took in a deep breath. I knew it would not help calm me, but I did try. “Does this secret have something to do with Krystal?”
“I can’t tell you that either! Mica will tell you as soon as he thinks it is the right time.”
My temper flared hotter. “Well the way thing’s are going right now..., if he can not be honest with me...” I hesitated. “I will not marry him. Until I know that he has told me everything and is keeping no other secret’s from me. I will not be turned to be with someone who keeps things from me.” My thought’s were brewing, I had a plan. Not a good one, but it was a plan. “At least Lavon told me the truth, he told me how it was. He might have put his hands on me, and been a control freak, but as far as I know he has never lied to me!”
“What are you saying Raven?” She asked, confused and angry at the same time. She looked horrified.
“Don’t worry about it Angelic, but I think I need to go out now and blow off this anger that is built up inside me.” I turned to walk to the door. She was there standing before me. I didn’t even have the chance to turn good.
“I don’t like what I am feeling from you Raven! Your not leaving this condo!” She said her eye’s hard and glarring at me with no humor.
“Angelic, I love all of you guy’s especially your brother so please don’t make me do what I need to do to get out of here.” This is where my not so great plan kicked in. “You will regret it! And honestly I might regret it to, but I will do what I need to, regaurdless the consequenses!”
“We all love you to, but I am not moving. I don’t want to see you get hurt or to watch my brother suffer if something was to happen to you!”
I just smiled, getting more pist by the second. She was making me do something that I did not want to do, but had no other choice, because it was the only way I could think of to get past her.
I picked up my phone and dialed the number that I did not want to ever have to call. “Hey I want to talk to you.”
“I’m right outside your building now, and I promise I won’t hurt you. That is the last thing on my mind at the moment!” And for some strange reason I believed what he was telling me. It’s like I just knew.
“Great. If I’m not down in five minutes come up after me. I am having trouble getting out of the door.” I said then hung up.
“Who did you just call?” She spit through her teeth angry with me.
“I don’t think that you want to know!” I told her. “I told you Angelic I do not take things like this nicely.”
“Tell me Raven, now!” She demanded.
“If you really want to know..., it was Lavon.”
She hissed violently at me and her fangs came out. “Why in the hell would you do that?” Speaking through tight lips.
“You won’t let me leave and he is strong enough to get me out!”
“He will hurt you!”
“I don’t think that he will.”
“Raven, don’t do this. It will hurt Mica, he loves you.” She pleaded.
“How’s that when he hurt me by hanging up on me and not giving me an explaination of what was going on. He is lying to me, keeping secrets. I told him I would never leave him. The only thing that I asked is that he be honest with me and keep no secrets from me.”
“Raven, please.”
Their was a knock on the door. I looked at her. “Let me by Ang.” I said and she did. I opened the door and it was Lavon.
“Hey Rave.” He said. I turned to see Angelic sitting on the sofa with her face in her hands. I did not want to hurt them this way, but it is the only way for me to get out and clear my mind befor Mica get’s back.
“I’ll see you in a few Ang. I do love you, you are my sister.” Then I turned and walked out the door with the person, well vampire that I hate the most.
Chapter Sixteen
Forbidden!
After I left with Lavon. We walked to a park somwhere near by and sat down on one of the benches there.
“Lavon don’t think that I am trying to be with you. My feelings for Mica have not changed. I wouldn’t care to mabe be friends, but I know that you can not just be friends with me.” I looked at him seriously.
“I figured that much. So why don’t you just tell me why you decided to call me.”
“I will, but first you tell me how this happened to you. Even though I do not want to be with you, we were still together for five years, I do care.”
“Well as you know, I came here to get you back. I still see you as mine reguardless of your hatred feelings for me. You blew me off though when I found you. I decided that I would stay here in New York anyway and do what I could to have you.”
“How did you know where I lived?” I asked irritated.
“I have my way’s. Now listen.” He said sternly. It reminded me of how he used to talk down to me in Maine, but I listened because I wanted to know.
I sighed.
“I was at a club one evening and I ran into some guy’s. They seemed cool enough. I figured I might as well have some friends here. It could help me in my mission to get you. They asked me where I was from, I told them, then they asked me what brought me to New York. I told them about you, and that I wanted you back. They said that they could help me get you back if I wanted, and also that they could help me with other things as well. I was curious to what they were talking about so when they invited me back to their apartment to chill and mabe shoot some pool, I went.” He looked up at me and smiled.
I rolled my eye’s. “Just explain.”
“Fine. They seemed a little off to me, but I blew the feeling off. When we got back to they’re apartment and settled in and everything, they started explaining that their were things in this world that I was not aware of. I asked what they meant by that. They didn’t come out easy with it, they just put it out their. They told me that they were immortal, and that their were other’s like them. They said they were called daywalkers. ‘We are vampire’s, except we can walk out in the direct sunlight and be fine.’ Zarious said. I laughed not believing
them, until each one hissed with their fangs comming out. I freaked out. They said that they could make me one of them, and explained all of the things you get with your immortality. Like the speed and so on. They told me that they knew your boyfriend and his family and told me what they were, and that me turning was the only way that I could possibly have the chance to get you back. So..., I agreed.”
“Just like that you agreed?”
“Of course. It was a gift. I love it.”
“Tell me this then. What was your expierience like? Was it really painful?” I wasn’t nice when I asked him, but that didn’t seem to bother him at all.
He laughed. “Of course, it was unbareable, but I made it through it. Well when I woke up...., I guess you could say that I was dead. I felt powerful and strong. It’s like I said.., great. Now tell me what you want.”
“Why did Krystal get turned?”
“Zarious wanted her. So he got her, but their is only one thing bad. She has a child.” He had a smug smile on his face as he said that. Weird.
I thought nothing of it except I worried a little though about the child. “What will happen to the child?”
“He will be fine, he left with his father today.” When he said this he had another smirky little grin on his face. “So tell me where is your so called man at? I know that he wouldn’t let you come with me. So he must not be there.”
“I don’t know.” I said being honest as he was with me, as far as I could tell anyway.
“So......, that is why you called me. Your temper. Your rebelling against him aren’t you?” He said smiling. He knows me well on that.
“Yes, but I think that I should not have called you. I’m sorry I have to get back!” I stood up and turned to walk away.
“Raven, wait!” He grabbed my arm and spun me around to him in a too quick movement that made me queezy. “I’m not giving up Raven. I will have you sooner or later.”
“Let go Lavon.” I spit though my teeth. “I don’t want you and I never will. Please grasp that!”
“I can’t. Besides....., well never mind you will find out soon enough. You can leave for now, but next time you come to me, and you will, you won’t leave me. Alive anyway.” He said then smiled smug.
I glared at him and jerked my arm away and started walking back to the condo. I’ve been gone a for a few hours since I left. The conversation lasted longer than it seemed, but I still took my time getting back. Angelic met me at the door.
“Raven!” She practically yelled and hugged me to tight.
“Ow!” I said breathless.
“Sorry.” She let go. “I’m glad to see that you are okay.”
“I told you that I would be fine.” I said as I walked in the door.
Charles, Heaven, Liza, Vincent and Carter were all there in the livingroom. I went to sit on the loveseat and Angelic sat beside me. I could feel the tension in the atmosphere. It don’t take a genious to figure out that they are dipleased with my action’s.
“What were you thinking?” Charles demanded from me.
“This would not have happened if Mica was not keeping secret’s from me and hanging up on me while I am trying to talk to him. I’m still mad, but at least I was able to blow off some steam.”
“Raven do you realize when Mica finds out, it is going to hurt him tremendously?” Heaven spoke this time. I could tell that she was very upset.
“He hurt me first by lying to me. I won’t be lied to by no one. Especially the one I am about to give my life up for.”
“Raven, I’m going to say this one time only. If you want to be a part of this family, you can not act like the way you did today. Our world is not the same as yours. It differ’s in many way’s. You could have gotten yourself taken from us today. I know that you are mad. But Mica will explain everything to you soon. Most likely after you are turned. Which as of right now it will be two more weeks before that will happen.” Charles told me very stern.
“You mean I have to wait two more weeks.”
“Yes this is what we have decided.”
“I think that I will be in my room if you guy’s want me. I’m going to bed early. You know I am not a child and I would appreciate if all of you would not treat me like one.” I turned and walked to my room mad as ever.
It didn’t take me as long as I thought to fall asleep. After I get mad like that it usually makes me over tired, exhausted. I was awakened in the middle of the night by Mica’s cold hands touching my face. I jerked away from him. I still was not happy with him.
“Please don’t. I’m still mad.”
“Raven. I’m sorry. Please stop being this way.”
“This is what you get when you make me this mad, sorry.”
“I did not have a choice. I had to do what I did, but besides that, I should be mad. You actually called Lavon and then left with him! Why would you do that. Have you changed your mind?” I could hear the fear in his voice as he tried to diguise it as irritation. His fear softened me just a little.
“Is everyone still here?”
“No. I sent them home when I got here.”
“Mica I love you. I asked you not to keep anything from me and not to lie to me. That is what I ask of you and you do it anyway’s. What did you expect to happen. I rebelled. You seriously made me mad. I have not changed my mind though, as I said I still love you, but you can not lie or keep nothing else from me or I will leave next time.”
“I won’t give you a reason to leave me I promise. I am sorry.”
“I forgive you just this once.”
He smiled, then his lips found mine in the dark. His lips were so forceful on mine that it was hard to even think about being mad at him. I was lost in his sweet kiss, no tension or anger left in me and then my lips were just as forceful on his. When he lifted his lips from mine he spoke and gazed into my eye’s and mezmorizing me.
“Raven, I want to tell you that I have never been so happy in my entire life as I am with you. No one means more to me than you.”
“I’m looking forward to an eternity of nights like this with you.” I told him. “Laying like this in your arms not worried with sleep.”
“And once I turn you and when were married, making love to you every night and every day. Me showing you just how much that I love you.”
“Believe me Mica I feel exactly the same way. I am so sorry if I hurt you Mica. I should have never of called him or left with him. I never want to hurt you. Your the only thing in my life that matter’s.Just please stop keeping secret’s from me!” I told him feeling wretched at what I had done to him by calling Lavon. I could feel the tears starting to spill over onto my cheeks as I stared into the eye’s of the one person that could ever really love me as much as I love him.
“Don’t cry Raven, Please. I’m not mad or upset. I understand. It wasn’t your fault.” He whispered pain saturating his voice at my pain for hurting him. He wiped the tears from my face and eye’s with his finger’s.
I reached up and pulled his face to mine and my lips met his with a fierceness and full of desire and needs, as he hovered over top of me. Before I realized it my clothes were in shreds beside me along with his, but my mind would not let me think about that. All I felt in this moment was need. I could feel the blood under my soft warm skin turn hot as fire. My body burning desire for him.
His kissing grew more stronger, more fierceful and passionate. Both of our breathing growing more ragged with each second that passes. He kissed down my neck when I needed to breath then back up to my lips when I caught my breath. His hands gripping me tighter to him. I could feel that he was still holding back, he did not want to hurt me. He is thousands of times stonger than I am. He has to be careful with me.
Our desrire for each other grew stronger. He held my face in one of his hands as he lifted his face to stare deep into
my eye’s. I could see every desire,every bit of love that he felt for me burning in his eye’s, his fangs showed themselves with all of the emotions flowing through his mind and his body, and he was not scared or ashamed of who he was in this moment.
“I love you Raven.” he said and waiting on my response.
“I love you Mica Wolfe and I will forever.” He looked like for one second that he was thinking and then that look was gone. He rolled us over to where he was sitting up and me sitting on his lap. He kissed on my neck and it felt like he was restraining himself from biting me. I could feel his teeth grazing my skin, but not breaking the skin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him as close and as tight as my human strength would allow me.
I felt his reaction to me as my lips locked with his once again. I could taste his cool breath in my mouth as his kissing did not ease up. I gripped him even tighter as he did me. I heard his moaning need for me, comming from deep inside his chest.
“Raven, can I have you? I want you right now.” He whispered into my ear.
Not thinking or caring, “Yes Mica I am yours to have!”
He rolled us back over to where he was again over top of me. Then what happened after that made it to late to stop. Regaurdless, I did not want to and I could tell neither did he. It was forbidden, but in that moment of sheer love and bliss, we could care less.
We made love for the rest of the night. Then as we relieved ourselves together as one, he looked up and stared into my eye’s for a brief second, then bent his head and moaning loudly with pleasure, to kiss my neck...,I thought. Then the pain came. I screamed once in pleasure then in pure pain. I could hear as his fangs, as they tore through the skin of my neck and sank through. He did not let go and did not come out of me as he was sucking the blood from my body and the pain got worse, unbareable.His moaning was much louder as he finished relieveing himself, it sounded more like a rumble, a growl comming from deep inside of him.
