Lux pulled me to the back exit.Both of our eyes were teary.We both went to the this secluded part of the beach.I was worse than her.

"R-Ra-Raven?"My head was spinning.I started vomitting everything I had consumed today.I kept crying."Raven?!"With the sea water Lux tried to wash my face.

"Lux stop!"She started crying and we both cried at the beach side.We both pulled it togather after about an hour and made our way to the mansion on foot.

Many guys cat called behind us but we just went on our way.

On our way back,Lux stopped me."I know this won't take a week.We need more time.We also need a new place and new jobs.I think I handled the place part."

She showed me the little apartment.Filled with flowers and vines.It was small and cute.We took the number and decided to call next day.

On our way to settle in the next day,we called Esther and checked up on the kids.While we rented the place under Malia Smith,Esther sent millions of pictures.

We were greatful for her major support throughout the years.After a week of settling in,Lux's parents went to that town and took the kids for us.

We finally reunited.Lux's parents handled the daycare situation for us.Even though the twins were skeptical about the entire thing,they accepted to go there with Elijah.

We were all settled in after a month.We both found a job in an art gallery.The paintings I had made had impressed the owners.They displayed them and I got to work there as an art teacher.

Lux and I had flexible hours and it was great.

We went to the club almost every night.Just to see them again,we are pathetic at this point.However,we don't care.

We went to the club with wigs and lenses.Tonight we were going all over again.

I wore a tight,high-waisted,navy jean.I wore a black corset top with chains as straps.A pait of heels and I was good to go.We had found a booth.

Unexpectedly,the next booth was filled by Xander and Sorin.We were drinking mojitos with Lux.We heard them clearly.

"I hate her."Sorin said.

"Your mother or Raven?"

"Both!"

Ouch,that had hurt!I did leave him but I was hoping he wouldn't hate me.

"Like you don't hate Lux.Come on,Xan.It's been four years!You can't tell me you don't hate them too."

I turned to Lux and she was waiting for Xan's answer.He sighed deeply.

"Part of me hates her.I loved her for years and she left after a few months.Maybe it scared her when she got abducted by Falcon and Phoenix."

Lux looked at me.I held her hand.

"God!Who am I kidding?!I hate them!They left us for fuck's sake!"

Lux's tear filled eyes switched with fury.She leaned to my ear."We looked after their kids even if they don't know.We don't deserve this!"I nodded."Let's hit them hard."

I explained my plan and then we enjoyed our drinks."I love your blood thirst,bestie."I smirked."You and I both,baby."I winked at her afterwards.

We both started dancing with strangers.Then we regrouped at the bar."I'm going to go get another tattoo.""After the Medusa tattoo?!Are you crazy?!"

I had this gigantic Medusa head on my shoulder.Since her hair is snakes,her hair was all over my arm.Meaning the entirty of my arm was covered with snakes.
