Before

Chapter One

"Rayven, come on!" I looked behind me to see Nick calling for me.

Let me explain on what the hello kitty is going on. My name is Rayven Mathews and I'm not your typical white washed white girl. (My apologizes if you are.) I have dark chocolate, long hair, topaz, brown eyes and what I've been told, a face that can stop traffic. Makes no sense right? Me what I think? I'm nothing like that. I'm a bigger girl who, has a hard life. But anyways, back to what I was saying. I love Heavy Metal. You could possibly say even obsessed. Five Finger Death Punch and Motionless In White are fan-fucking-tastic. Anyways, a lot of shit like that, I love. Now, you're probably thinking, why are in the world are you telling me this? Well, it'll come handy in the future that's why. Then Nick, how do I put this mildly? He's my best friend and he's 'oh my god kill me' hot. Well, to me he's mild because we've been friends for years, but the weird part is he's been after me for a few years now.

I just wanted-

"Rayven, get your cute ass over here! Gage and Brandon are waiting for us!"

Rolling my eyes, I grab my bag and walk towards him.

"Don't put your panties in a twist sugar. I'm coming now." I yell at him.

He grinned and flipped me the 'jake-in-box' finger. I smiled and and held up the ok symbol.

When I reached him, we linked arms and walked towards my brother, Gage's, house.

We reached Gage's house and out of nowhere, Nick takes off in the house, after slapping my ass.

I went to yell some colorful words after him, but my phone rang.

Mumbling under my breath I answered.

"Hello?"

"Rayven?"

"May I ask who's calling?"

"You're worst nightmare."

That was the last thing the strange caller said before hanging up.

Glaring at my phone, I put it back and stalked into the house.

"Nick, I swear to god, you call my pho-."

I stopped talking when I saw Nick, Brandon and Gage, on the couch gagged and looking at me like 'run-the-fuck-away'. I was about to step forward when a shadow drew over the wall behind me. I froze instantly, feeling the breath on my neck.

"I told you I would be your worst nightmare."

That was the last thing I heard before I felt a prick in my arm and the world disappeared into the black abyss.
