*Chapter 5*

So hey lovelies!!!! Am back!!! Yipeeeeeee!!! :D ... So, here's the update... Hope u guys njoyyyy it!!!!

Raven's POV

I sat next to my Uncle, twirling my dagger between my fingers. We were at an isolated room at the basement. The boy before me was barely 14 years old. He was strapped to the chair. He looked like any normal teenager - leather clothes,the ' don't you fucking mess with me' attitude, shaggy hair and all. But one look at his glowing ruby eyes and all thoughts vanished away.

Grandma has always said we are not the only supernaturals in this world. Werewolves and vampires being the most common of them. I had never encountered a vampire.. until now.

"So why were you trying to attack my niece?" Uncle's voice broke the uncomfortable silence.
The boy had been staring at me like a creep the whole time,not taking his eyes even once off me... And that was beginning to irk me.
"Is there something on my face? " I asked in a harsh voice.
He seemed to break out of whatever trance he was in and shook his head vigorously from side to side. I was reminded at that moment that he was just a mere kid.

Sighing, I tried to ask in a soft voice, "Why were you stalking me in the woods? Do you know me?"

The boy remained silent, biting his lip, glancing from Uncle to me and back forth. I figured he wanted to talk to me alone.

"Uncle, can you wait outside? For a moment? I guess the kid wants to say something to me".

"But he is a vampire, Rae!!! He could harm you!!! I am not leaving you alone!! "

Damn!!! Now I see where I get my stubbornness from... Guess it runs in the blood.

"Uncle... It's alright. I'll be okay." It seemed like he was arguing with himself.

"Fine, call me if anything happens." Shooting one last glare at the boy, Uncle went upstairs.

Turning back to the boy, I saw he was trying to avoid my eyes. Guess this won't be easy.

I have never really dealt with a kid, less a teenager before. Guess I was too heartless for that kinda stuff. But this kid...... This kid was something else. His red eyes seemed to see through me... see through the walls I had built around myself. Which was a first.

Plopping myself down on the chair and setting the dagger on the floor to show I'm harmless, I looked at the boy expecting him to spill the beans. He took a deep breath and finally met my eyes. Jeez.. About time he opened his damn mouth.

"I have come bearing a message from our Highness, The Vampire King." the boy said in a steady yet soft voice.

What???? Why would the vampire king wish to meet me???

"His Highness has got an offer for you.... A negotiation", the boy answered my unasked question.

Now this was really getting me interested.

"So, what does your king wish to offer to me?" I purposefully sneered at the word 'king' and the boy flinched back, as if I had hit him.

"What's your name, kid?" He looked at me as if I was going to behead him. What's wrong with him???

"P..p..pl..pl.. Please d..d..don't... r..report to the k...k..ki..king!!!!! I..I...I'm s..s..sorry if I h..h..had d..done anything w..w..wrong!!! " the boy stammered and was literally hyperventilating. Oh Jesus.

I don't know what came over me, I just hugged the guy and he began to sob into my shoulder. He really does stink.. Wonder when he bathed last.

"It's ok... Am not gonna hurt you or report you or whatsoever... I just wanna know your name.. That's all" I said in the most caring voice I could, and am pretty much sure I sounded like Adolf Hitler had a cold.

Glancing at me with his iridescent red eyes, he said barely in a whisper," Isaac". Thank god, that wasn't too difficult.

" Alright Isaac, what is it that your king wanted to convey to me?"

"I cannot do that... He wanted to discuss it in person with you... I am just a messenger. "
Whoa!! That's the longest he has ever spoken!!!

Raking my brain as to why the vampire king wants to discuss something in person with me, I couldn't come up with a good reason. I have never killed any vampires. I guess I get my answer only when I meet him.

" Alright Isaac, I will meet your king. He is welcome here."

The boy's widened and he looked like as if I had grown two heads. NOW WHAT!!!!

"No Miss Storm, His Highness has invited you to Arkala".

Arkala.... The royal palace of the Vampires, the land that exists only in mythology, the land where werewolves and witches are practically banned.

Damn... Grandma and Uncle are gonna have a fit when they hear this!!!
