Chapter 8

Raven and Dexter landed on their bed at the Charmings castle. "Ow," Dexter said in a weak voice. Raven quickly got off him. "Sorry, Dex." Dexter sat on their bed and then ran to their bathroom. Raven ran to a garbage can in a corner of their room. After they were both done, throwing up, Raven walked over to Dexter. "You ok? How's your arm?" Dexter checked his arm. "Still all stitched up. Are you ok?" Raven nodded. "Yeah, I'm good. Let's find your mom and dad and get this done with." Raven took Dexter's hand and walk out the door.

Raven and Dexter walked into the throne room, where the King and Queen sat on their thrones. "Raven would mind leaving us?" The queen asked. Raven stood taller. "Why, may I ask?" Raven asked as she crossed her arms. "Because I need to speak to my son in privet. That's why." The Queen said in a more stern voice. Raven turned to Dexter and hugged him. "I'm going to leave now Dex. Whatever your mom has to say, I'll be right outside the door for you." Raven kissed him. "Got it?" Dexter shook his head. "Mother! Whatever you have to say to me, you can say in front of Raven." The Queen started to fidget in her throne. "Or I can just leave. Your choice. Raven is going to be in this room either way." The Queen and Raven looked at Dexter in shock. "Fine." The Queen took a deep breath in, and Raven held Dexter's hand. "I heard you bought a house, just for you and Raven. Am I right?" Dexter nodded his head. "I don't know how to put this...I'm not going to let you leave my castle. You live under my roof, you'll follow my rules. I forbid you to leave!" Raven could feel her hands getting hotter with every word the Queen said. "Mom! You can't do that. I'm nineteen, I am able to make my own choices. I'm going to leave with Raven tomorrow, whether you like it or not. If you don't let us leave in peace, I don't think you're going to see your grandchildren for a long time." The Queen stood up. "So be it. I'm not going to lose my son to...A...Rebel!" Raven felt all her anger build up in her, and she knew if she didn't walk away now, things could end badly. Raven let go of Dexter's hand and turned around so she couldn't see the Queens' face. Dexter was speechless, the King kinda shrunk down in his throne, and the Queen looked as angry as Raven felt on the inside. "Mom...Why would you say that? It's not like I wasn't going to visit you and dad." Raven started to feel tears coming down her face. "I Can't trust that you'll keep that promise. It's not right for Royal and a Rebel to be together! It's just not right." Raven turned around to face the Queen. "I've had enough of hearing, a Rebel and a Royal shouldn't be together! I never made your son love me! I'm sorry you and my mom don't approve of our relationship. I guess that our children are going to grow up without any grandmothers." Raven ran out of the room crying. "Good bye mother." Dexter ran off find Raven.   

Raven ran outside into the garden. She sat on the ground near some rose bushes that had the same roses that Cupid pluck off. Raven pluck off the same kind of rose Cupid did before. Raven looked at the two rose and two tear drops fell on them. Raven sat with her thoughts for about ten minutes until a voice called, "Raven!" Raven didn't even turn to see who said it, she already knew who it was. "I've been looking for you," Dexter said as he sat on the ground in front of Raven. "I'm sorry my mother said those horrible things. I really am." Dexter grabbed Raven hands, but she pulled away. "Dex, I've been thinking. What if there right? What if a Royal and a Rebel shouldn't be together, or can't be together." Raven stood up. "I'm trying to stay strong Dexter, but it's hard. Maybe we should....Should....Take a break from each other." Dexter stood up. "But...Raven, why?" Raven picked up the two roses from the ground. "I need some time to think this whole thing over. I'm not breaking up with you Dexter, I just need some space." Raven handed Dexter the purple rose. "How long? How long do you need space?" Dexter said trying to hold back tears. "I don't know. I'm sorry Dexter. I'll call when I'm ready." Raven started to walk away, but Dexter grabbed Raven hand and kissed her. "I love you Raven Queen." Raven placed her forehead on Dexter's. "I (sniff) love you too," Raven said with tears streaming down her face. "You have to (Sniff) let me go Dex. Please. (Sniff)" Dexter let go of Raven. "Bye." Raven kissed Dexter's cheek and walked away. "Bye." Dexter held the rose Raven gave him close to his chest. "I love you, Raven Queen." Dexter fell to the ground crying, as Raven walk away.
