Demon Hunter [COMPLETE]

Chapter 58 - She's My Girlfriend...Seriously, We're Coupled Up

*Elliot Woods' P.O.V*

The moonlight reflected across the pond as Raven and I walked along a quiet, gray brick path.

TRUDGE, TRUDGE, TRUDGE...

This felt nice. Just the two of us together, out for a midnight stroll. I thought I lost Raven the night she jumped into the vortex...but by some miracle, she returned from hell. Overcome by grief, I had planned to go down to hell and rescue her, but the badass ended up rescuing herself.

When I saw her enter the bar (which FYI, I hadn't exited for three days straight because Raven's loss killed me from the inside), at first I thought it was an illusion that I had created in my mind, from drowning myself in too much alcohol. But my prayers went answered and my sorrows dissipated because it really was Raven in the flesh. Why she decided that the first best place to walk into was a bar is beyond me. I hope it was to call someone and not to order an alcoholic beverage. Anyhow...

I love her, I love her so much.

God, I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman.

As she admired herself in the reflection of the pond, I asked her a question that's been on my mind for quite some time. "So, Raven, do you think we'll have our super powers for the rest of our lives?"

"I really hope we do, Elliot," Raven replied. "If not, we can always track down Gala and force him to give them to us again."

"True," I nodded. These super powers may come in handy if we ever need to face off against danger in the near future.

I stopped walking. Raven stopped as well.

"What's wrong? Why'd you pause?" Raven questioned, furrowing her eyebrows.

Because I want to ask you something very important.

Using all the courage that I had, I asked, "I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me tomorrow night?"

Say yes, come on, say yes!

"Tomorrow night? Jeez...let me see...hell yeah!" She said, with a bright, dazzling smile on her beautiful face. "It's not like I have anything better to do anyways. I'm an unemployed bitch now."

"That's alright," I told her. "I'm also unemployed. I applied like crazy after I quit Radioactive Magic. I can proudly say that I landed myself an interview for the position of an editor at the furniture magazine Enchanted Wonder, or EW, for short." 

"Well, it's not like you could go back to Radioactive Magic. It went bankrupt and Sweetener is god knows where. Probably homeless."

"Totally deserved."

"Amen!" Raven agreed, and then frowned. "Crap, I guess I should also start applying for jobs."

"It's OK, there's no rush. If you need any money, you can let me know," I informed her. Even if I have to go bankrupt for it, I'll do everything in my power to help Raven out.

"You're so sweet, but you already helped me out by buying me a dress. I really don't want to ask you for more," Raven stated. "Besides, I think I'm good...for now."

Good for now? What does she mean?

"'Cause I have around 3,500 dollars in my bank account," she answered, as if she had read my mind.

"Cool."

"I'll see you tomorrow night then," Raven said, enthusiastically.

"I-I think so..." I stammered. Crap, Elliot, you're such a coward sometimes.
