A Vampire's Heart (Cancelled For Rewrite)

Chapter 6: MetalEtemon

As the group stepped out, the first thing the heard was what sounded like Tarzan's cry. "Do I even want to know?" Raven sweatdropped, the next thing she knew her feet weren't on the ground anymore, and she was in a tree, and Keramon wasn't on her shoulder anymore. "Now what's a pretty little lady like you, doing with a bunch of guys like this? Especially that Myotismon, he'll suck all the blood from ya'." Raven started to squirm in his grasp, before her brain started to get an idea. "Thank you for saving me. But I don't even know my hero's name." She put in her sweetest face, and gave him soft gentle eyes. "Now just where are my manners. I'm MetalEtemon baby. Just what might be your sweet little name?" She bat her eyelashes, before smiling sweetly. "I'm Raven." Voxen saw everything that she was doing, watch as she used her looks to bait him, waiting until she sunk the hook in. "Such a sweet name, for a sweet little lady." She giggled, giving Voxen the ok to go. Remembering what Genai told them, he crouched down, letting power fill his body, feeling the changes. His body became dog like, the ears and tails that he had earlier reappearing, his hair became a bang covering his left eye, with his dark brilliant blue tipping it all. "Wolf Pack Attack!" Voxen called before pouncing, managing to get a hold on his arm with his now razor sharp fangs, forcing MetalEtemon to let go of Raven, and making her fall from the branch. Something in Myotismon clicked, and he dived to catch her, just as the girl he met all those years ago had done for him. Raven landed safely, slightly shaken up. "Ya' rotten mutt. You'll pay for that. Banana Slip!" Voxen yelped, as he slipped on the peel, sending Raven into attack mode, apoun seeing her best on the ground, about to get pounded. She stood as her eyes flashed a deep crimson. "Nobody. And I mean NOBODY! HURTS HIM AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!!" She started to transform, her ears and tail reappearing, her body becoming cat like, large fangs sprouting from her mouth, teeth becoming razor sharp, her hair now becoming a bang as well, pink coating the ends. "Comet Collision." She lunged, opening her mouth wide, as a ball of energy formed, reminding everyone of a comet. She bit down on his shoulder, right next his neck, denting the metal, and causing a loud boom. "Well, now ain't you a mean little momma." She landed with her mouth still on his shoulder, pulling him over, she started to shake her head violently, before going into a death roll, denting the metal even more. "Now let go. Ya hear." She refused to listen, now digging her claws in, causing holes to form. "Raven, he's had enough, let him go. I know you're angry, but you need to show some restraint. And I know that you're doing this to protect me, but you need to know when to stop, when you get like this. I wasn't even hurt, just surprised." Voxen called, his words working, as weakness showed in her eyes, as her mouth slowly opened, a guilty noise escaping her lips, as MetalEtemon ran off, turning around just before he was out of sight. "Your a feisty one. I like that. I'll be back for ya." Then continued running. Raven shrugged him off, and padded over to Voxen's side, head down like a dog who had just gotten in serious trouble . "Remind me to never get her mad." Beezlemon commented, backing away slowly, hands up. "It's ok Raven. You were just protecting me, and you let your anger get the best of you." He pet her muzzle earning a happy purr from her, as she turned back, looking to him with joyful emeralds. "Thank you Voxen." She stood and helped him up, walking over to Keramon, letting him hop on. "Where to now?" She asked, all joy in her voiced having returned. "Well, I umm...I." Myotismon had become speechless, still in shock from what he had just saw. Raven and Voxen suddenly turned, eyes going wide as a faint noise reached their ears, to quiet for the others to hear. "You hear that?" Voxen nodded, the sound growing louder. "It's like laughing. Only creepier." Voxen added, backing away slowly, until he was suddenly pulled to the ground, causing his headphones to fall backwards slightly. "Voxen!" "There's something around my legs, it's like string, but feels like wire." He started to panic, and tried to pull them off, Raven joined in, tugging at the strings, but failing. "How about you two quit staring and help?!" Voxen exclaimed. "We don't see anything." Beezlemon answered. "What do you mean you don't see anything? We can see them clear as day." Keramon questioned, now having joined in to help. Voxen suddenly felt a tug, and the next thing he knew he was sliding across the ground, Raven calling his name in a panic. "Raven, help!" Was all he could mutter before his world went black. "Voxen!" Raven went to chase after him, but was held back by Myotismon. "Don't even think about it! I'm not going to have you running off again." She started to struggle, putting up a good fight, now crying, wanting her best friend. "VOXEN!" She began to screech wildly, still fighting against him, until a particularly loud screech was too much, and forced him to let go and cover his ears. She ran, transforming as she went, now running top speed following the drag marks. "Not again. We need to hurry, if the wrong person finds her, we could be in serious trouble." Myotismon commanded before giving chase once again. Raven kept running, ignoring the faint calls, just going after her friend, panic filling her heart. She ran for three hours before loosing the trail, a loud howl made her head shoot up, knowing that howl anywhere, being Voxen"s wolf impression. She roared, trying to get him to howl again, which he did after a few moment, but being weaker than the first. "This way." She bolted north, roaring as she ran, getting a weak response shortly after, she ran until a familiar scent reached her nose. "Blood. I smell blood, and it's Voxen's, no mistaking that coppery smell." She bolted, until a pool of it was right at her feet, dripping from a tree, just before Voxen fell to the ground, blood covering his clothes, the impact making him cough a bit of it up. Raven changed back, rushing to his side. "Voxen, what happened to you, who did this?" "Raven, you need to run. He wants you, and he'll do the same thing to you if he catches you." "Who?" "Me." Raven turned, seeing a face she recognized to well. "Puppetmon. Why would you do this to my best friend?" Puppetmon stepped closer, brandishing his hammer.  "I was just playing." Raven's anger only grew. "Playing? More like killing. What kind of sick twisted monster are you?" "It's not nice to call people names. And bullies need to be punished. Puppet Pummel!" He threw the cross on his back, Raven swiftly dodging it, before attacking herself. "Falling Star!" A blast filled with stars flew from her left hand, hitting him head on. "Nobody does this to him. And gets away with it." She did a flip, and landed behind Puppetmon, before trowing another attack. "Lunar Light!" A long white whip appeared in her hand, as she made it wrap around him, and threw him against a tree, before sending an energy that would force him to sleep. "I'm sorry. But when I'm able to. I will find the kindness within you." She spoke softly before picking up Voxen, who was still bleeding, not caring if she got blood on herself. "Voxen." She began to cry, ignoring the pounding of paws, and the gasps of horror. "What happened here?" Myotismon waited for an answer, only receiving her heart breaking sobs. She spoke quietly, her heart now broken. "Garurumon. Please get us back to the cave, I need to help him. But I can't do it here." She felt a strong pair of arms pick both of them up, before she was placed on his back, and he took off running, something telling him to move quickly, and never loose hope. Within twenty minutes, everyone was standing at the mouth of the cave, while Raven was inside, trying her hardest to help Voxen. "I think it really is her. Raven acts just like her, and they both have the same name." Myotismon finally broke the silence with. "So I was right?" Myotismon nodded. Before looking at Raven, her front was covered in blood, along with her hands, as she worked to stop the bleeding. She finally put down her tools after four hours, sighing, wiping her hands on her pants, before they went to the butterfly charm on her neck, and her eyes closed. "Charm of the past, please do as I ask. I ask from the bottom of my heart to remove the blood that covers our bodies, and to help Voxen heal. He brings joy to my heart, and has always been there for me, please help him. I care for him with all my heart, and would be devastated without him. Please, help Voxen." The pink in her hair began to glow, as the blood disappeared, before the blue in Voxen's hair glowed, and his more severe wounds disappeared, helping him to heal. His eyes opened, looking to Raven, just as the glow faded. "R-Raven?" Her eyes flew open, before she practically tackled him. "Voxen. Don't you ever scare me like that again." Tears welled up in her eyes, as she hugged her best friend, never wanting to let go. After the reunion, and everyone had eaten, Raven curled up next to Voxen, with Keramon next to her, while the Myotismon and Garurumon took watch, keeping a closer eye outside, as another storm raged on. Never affecting Raven, now that Voxen was near. Joy and happiness filled their dreams that night.
