CHAPTER 1
When Raven woke up, the first thing she realized was that she didn't know where the heck she was. It's not as if she had a habit of camping out in random places around Dullsville. Though Dullsville is probably to dull to have any interesting random places.
The one thing that stood out, much to her Gothic horror, is that everything was white. Not that she had anything against the color white, but no color, no matter how much you liked it, was ever pleasant when it's blinding your eye's and currently, that is what this unnecessary explosion of white was doing.
The color of the white abyss wasn't what bothered her the most. Raven was alone and the only noise she could hear was her own breathing. Not exactly a comforting factor while one is alone.
'There is absolutely nothing here' she thought to herself.
She slowly stood up, not sure if she should stay where she was at the moment or look around the area, even if there was nothing there. She decided that there wasn't any harm in taking a little walk. Taking her first step in this odd place, she began her journey.
Though that little walk dragged on and on and no matter how far she walked, there never seemed to be an ending.
'Where am I? How did I get here?'
More and more questions kept on forming and not one had an answer.
'I'm alone and I don't like it. I wish that Alexander was here with me. At least with him here I wouldn't feel so scared.'
Suddenly, out of nowhere her head started to hurt. The pain kept on getting worse and no matter how much Raven rubbed and clutched her head, the pain wouldn't go away. Her legs became shaky and soon were unable to hold her up. Once she hit the floor, she moved into a fetal position and painful moans escaped from her lips. Tears where flowing freely from her eyes, even if they were tightly shut.
Images started to flow into her head and they frightened her. Not wanting to understand the images, Raven tried to push them out of her mind, but that only caused the pain to increase even more.
Finally, she gave in since the pain had become unbearable. The images that she tried to fight away came back and then it had all become clear.
Raven needed to clear her mind and the lake was the perfect spot to do so. She didn't know if she could go through with it, becoming a vampire, even if it's been her life's dream
'It's one thing from wanting something that you can't have, but it's another thing to be able to have it.'
Ever since she was a little girl, becoming a vampire was the only thing she ever wanted. Raven honestly never did think it would really ever happen, but then she found Alexander, a real vampire, not to mention her soul mate. Her dream had come true.
Then, when finally given the chance, she began to have doubts.
'Can I really just throw away the life that I have, just so I can be with Alexander? Can I leave everyone that I love for my dream?'
Raven felt disappointed in herself. She always believed that she knew what she always wanted. Now she wasn't so sure.
'I came here to clear my head, yet the only thing I'm doing is making it worse. Maybe a little swim will clear it.'
She walked right up to the bank of the lake, sat down, and took off her shoes and socks. Since the water was shallow near the bank, she could get her body used to the cool temperature of the water little by little without having to dunk her whole body in the water. Once the water reached her waist, she stopped going out further and decided to twirl around, enjoying the coolness.
There was a half moon up in the sky, it was nothing special, but Raven should already be with Alexander at this moment, but she just didn't think she could face him, not that she did anything wrong, but her hesitation made it seem as if she didn't care about him.
'That's not true. I love him more than anything, but I also care about myself.'
She decided that it was better not to think about it. If only she never had to think about it, if only things could stay the same for the rest of her life, simple. Unfortunately she new that it was going to come back. She couldn't run away.
It was so peaceful, a perfect moment. She wished life could stop at this moment in her life. There was nothing to worry about.
'Though it would be even more perfect with Alexander—' she wasn't able to finish her thought.
Instead her whole body was under water.
The large hands on her shoulders, holding her in place under the cold water was an unbelievable thought. Then it suddenly clicked that it really was happening.
Someone was trying to drown her.
All of a sudden, she trashed her body around, trying to escape from the unknown assailant. She clawed at their hands hoping that they would let her go, but she still found herself submerged.
'NO! NO! NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO ME! THIS IS JUST A NIGHTMARE!'
Raven became desperate and soon began to scream, but all that accomplished was a quicker death. She continued to thrash around, but her eyesight started to become blurry and unfocused. Her chest was burning and felt as if it would explode.
'Someone, help me please! Alexander help!'
Her body became still and everything became quiet. The unknown murderer let go of her body and watched as her body rose to the surface, face up. Her body was unmoving and her eyes were empty and still wide open.
That was how Raven was left.
Raven wished that the pain would return. Anything was better than knowing what had happened to her.
The tears kept on falling and they did not stop. She feel asleep, still curled in the fetal position, holding herself, hoping to keep some sort of her sanity intact and still wishing that it was Alexander who is holding her and not her own arms.
