𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤.

She can't see a single color other than the shade of black. Her body can't feel any temperature.

Her fingers started to move as time passes by. Her eyes began to open after many failed attempts.

The room was dark. The windows where shattered, revealing the beaming moon up high.

'Where am I?..'

She finally stood up, walking towards the door only to know it was locked.

'..Am I kidnapped?-..'

Her thoughts were cut as soon as she realized something.

'Aren't I supposed to be dead..?'

With that realization, she began to walk back and forth inside the shallow room.

"I'm supposed to be dead.. Why am I alive?.. How am I alive?" She mumbled.

She kept walking in circles but stopped when she found a picture frame near the old bedside cabinet.

She took it to see the picture much better.

As she removes the dust covering the photo, she stopped moving when she saw the picture.

It was a picture of her parents.

She gripped the picture frame tightly to the point it broke apart.

She was mad, fuming.

She threw away everything she sees, lost in her clouded mind.

Not until she heard a faint noise walking near the room she's locked in.

She quickly hid inside the large wardrobe, shivering in fear.

"It's not like it'll work-.." A man spoke, only to stop once he can't see the woman who used to lie in the old bed.

"Call him." He instructed to the men he was with.

Once again, it was quiet. Raven knows the man is still in the room.

She didn't move a single muscle, she didn't talk nor breathe as she can't anymore.

The bedroom door creaked, signalling the man who was called has finally came.

"So, it did work.." A man chuckled.

"I know your there." He spoke.

In a few seconds, the wardrobe's door was opened harshly. The man took hold of the pale young woman.

Surprisingly, Raven wasn't scared anymore. She doesn't know who the man is and his men but she didn't care.

She didn't feel intimidated by them.

"Who are you.." she asked, staring at the man's eyes with her dull red orbs.

"Someone who failed to save you sooner." He smiled.

The smile wasn't dark, it held no violence.. But, sincerity and guilt.

'What's with this man. Has he gone mad? I've never met this fool.'

"I don't know who you are." She said, walking backwards away from him.

The man still smiled,"You don't even remember your own childhood bestfriend? Rav."

Rav.. Only one person calls her that. But that person is also dead.

She looked at him one more time, observing his features.

He has a fairly nice looking face, with a dark blue-green eyes and a dirty blond hair.

She remember those mischievous eyes. Her dearest friend who had gone missing for years and was later told dead.

"Niklaus.."

At the mention of his name, he smiled widely. He ran towards the shocked girl and hugged her tightly as if there was no tomorrow.

"You're alive.." She mumbled, tears slowly escaping her eyes as it fell down her pale cheek.

He drawn his hands upon her cheek to wipe away her tears.

He cupped her face in his hands, making her look at him.

"I'm here now. I'm sorry I couldn't save you sooner.." He whispered, hugging her again letting out a sob.

"At least you've tried.." She smiled.

His ocean eyes stared at her, chuckling as he said,"How can you say that? You're dead because of me."

Raven shooked her head and said,"Don't blame yourself over something you didn't do. You tried to save me, you cared."

...

"Aro, are you sure about this ball? It has been long since you've created one.. And it went to a disaster." Marcus said, looking at his tired brother.

Aro sighed and said,"It will go well this time brother. I assure you."

Marcus sighed and left the man alone.

Aro layed in his bed, staring at the dark ceiling.

"Our birthday is tomorrow Raven.. When can we celebrate it together again..?" He mumbled.

Sadness was heard in his voice. As much as how the other vampires heard him, he couldn't bring himself to care.

He just wanted his Twin again.

It has been so long since they celebrated their birthday together. And that was a month before she was killed.

Aro closed his eyes, letting his mind go back to his treasured memories with her.

"Aro, be careful! You're going to hurt yourself!!" She yelled, running after the stubborn headed boy.

The boy giggled and continued to run with his Twin following from behind.

The two finally stopped and sat down the green grass, admiring the beautiful scenery infront of them.

"Raven, what do you want for our birthday?" The boy asked.

Raven looked at the curious boy and smiled.

"Us celebrating it together is enough for me." She answered, looking at the blue sky.

"Us celebrating together.."

Aro chuckled, sadness once again accompanying him.

"Another year of not being able to grant that precious wish."

He sat and crash down the floor, yelling his desperate wish.

"Give me by twin back!! By the Gods above, I beg of you to give her back. I am begging you.."

From the loud despair he lets out, Didyme went to his room and took him in for an embrace.

She keeps patting his back, letting only his sobs to be heard in the castle.

"What have I done to loose her, Didyme?.. I have done everything. I should've been more cautious."He sobbed.

Didyme shushed her brother,"You didn't know that she would be taken away, Aro. You gave everything to keep her.. But.."

Silence once again filled the room.

There's no such thing as peace even in death.
