≪ Sorin's POV ≫

You have got to be kidding me!

How dare he claim her after I have?!

Though,I can't really blame her,everybody leaves.They either die or they just...leave.

Maybe that's why my mother left me.Maybe my anger was always the problem.

One thing she was right about was that...I did harass her when she came to my apartment for a drink last month.

And,Xander was right.She did down that drink faster than anyone I knew,including myself.How?I want to know.I want to know what is going on behind those eyes I still can't figure out.

I want to know why Sullivan wants her so much.

I want to know why Castillo-

My gaze shifted back to Raven and Castillo's son,Dexter.She pushed him into the bar through the back door and locked him in.

"PEOPLE NEEDS TO STOP DOING THAT!"

She shrieked in anger and hopped on her bike before she left.I agreed with her.Poeple,by people I mean Dexter,needs to stop kissing her out of the blue.

I will be honest with myself this time.

I denied that her eyes made me feel something when I first looked into them.Then I kept looking into them and the more I looked,the more she opened a part of me I don't know how to describe yet.

It is frustrating and it makes me lose my calm.It is an anger I cannot control.I unleash that beast and take that risk just to keep hurting her.

Every time I look into her eyes,the more her face expression started giving away her emotions.That's how I first knew I was hurting her.

She drove back to her place with Lux.By the time we came back,the party was over.She went inside her place and I knocked on the door.Why did I do that?

The light coming under the door had a little shadow.However,Lux answered the door."Einar?What are you doing here at this time of the night?"

"Raven?Is she here?"She backed away."You're decent?!Now,I'm scared.But Raven is neutral now.She's trying her best to stay away from the Hunters and you guys."

"A neutral?""Like me,I stay away from both sides.It keeps me protected but friendless.That was until she came though.So,please,I am begging you to leave her alone.She just wants peace."

She wants pecae but she's a part of the Santos?How logical."She doesn't want peace.She just doesn't know she chose the wrong side yet."

"I don't know what that's supposed to mean but I am not losing another sister to one of your rumbles!"She tried to close the door.

"I didn't kill your sister,Steven.Sullivan did!Now let me in and let me talk with Raven.""She's smoking outside.I think it is her second joint tonight."

I went to the balcony and saw her smoking in her underwear.Underwear and balcony?!Fuck no!

≪ Raven's POV ≫

"You answer the door,I'm smoking!"Lux stumbled her way out of her bedroom and to the door.

Why would he kiss me?

I dared him to hurt me,instead he kissed me.

Why did I kiss him back?I didn't have to.Why didn't I just broke it off and slapped him?I could have just done that.

Even the slightest thought of him made my heart race.I cannot get rid of the feel of his lips on mine.My joint between my fingers,my hand went up to my mouth and traced my lips.
