"Im going to leave for a bit, Lukas. Ill be back really soon." I say softly into his ear, reassuingly. Lukas falls asleep.(Somehow)
I walk out of the house and run to the shelter.
I give Shirley the spare keys and leave.
I told her not to go yet.
Now to find Raven.
One possibility could be Anne's house.
I tried calling her but she didnt answer.
I didnt know where to look.
Raven didnt live in a specific house at the time.
I run to the forest, where somtimes Raven is but I couldnt see him. Terrible taughts started flooding my brain.
What if a sick demon isnt normal, and it meant that Lukas was going to die?
A black truck pulls over and I see Jake driving.
I quickly hide behind a tree. Anne comes out of the back seat.
Anne walks away from the truck and somebody else with a black coat follows her.
The truck drives away.
I wasnt thinking very clearly at the time, infact I couldnt tell who was with Anne at first. A few tears of worry where coming out of my eyes.
Anne was slowly walking away , when I accidentaly step on a twig. The twig cracks loudly.
"Who's there?!" I hear a deep voice.
It was Raven.
Raven stands infront of Anne protectivley.
"It's only me, Raven." I say coming out from behind the tree.
Anne looks at me.
"Are you okay?" She asks.
"Ye.. Lukas.. he doesnt look good.. and he's been throwing up for the past few hours.. I dont know what to do." I say.
Anne looks up at Raven.
"Throwing up? Like.. he's sick?" Raven asks.
"Yes." I say.
"Is he... sleeping?" Raven asks.
"Yes." I say.
"Uh.. well.. demons get sick when there is a high dosage of dark magic and of they consume that, then they get sick" Raven says.
"Demons?" Anne asks.
Amazing Raven! Best move ever! I wanted to facepalm so hard that my hand went through my face. Talking about demons to a girl who doesnt even think they exist. If you read this, Raven I always considered you as a smart person but ye.. that was a pretty stupid.
Raven looks at Anne.
"Um.. we're talking about a game and.. uhh Lukas is getting sick and tired of Jess playing it." Raven says.
10/10 amazing cover up Raven!
"Oh.. um.. I'm going to... go home.. Ill see you there." Anne says akwardly.
My invisible arm was facepalming me so hard in the head.
"Okay Anne. Tell your dad to make some coffee for me okay?" Raven says.
"I will." Anne replies and then she walks away.
I look at Raven. A tiny shiver went up my spine.
I was still slightly afraid of Raven after the incident.
"I dont get how Lukas has been taking in alot of dark magic.. Before he was sick... well...he was drowning and I saved him but.. that has nothing to do with dark magic.. right?" I ask
"Jess.. He's sick..  it might mean.. since he's been a half demon before. I think he's going to  back being a half demon again. I dont know how it's possible." Raven says
I fumble with my pockets. Sure. He might become a half demon again, but what was I going to do to help?

"In not ENTIRELY sure it's going to happen. I don't know everything and I dont have to know everything." Raven continues.
"I just taught id ask you." I say.
"One thing, Jess. Keep an eye on his eyes. His emotions show through them. If the colour seems a bit... faded, contact me." He says.
"How exactly?" I ask.
"I have no clue." Raven says.
"I was just lucky I ran into you." I say.
"Well.. be lucky when you need to contact me again." He says.
"I'm not very lucky, Raven." I say.
Raven sighs.
"Can I... tell you something?" He asks.
"Fire away." I say.
"So... Anne use to be my target. But I didnt want to kill her.. so I killed her sister instead and I made it look like Anne killed her own sister.. I was a terrible person back then." He says.
I could see it in his eyes how much he regret what he had done. How much he had changed.

"Anyways... How did Lukas fall asleep?" Raven asks.
"I dont know.. I didnt know demons could sleep." I reply.
"But half demons can. So be careful and contact me if his eye colour starts to fade."  He says.

I always have a feeling that he had asked me to contact him about the eye colour because white eyes meant he was being controlled by somebody and a
Small bit of grey meant he could still somehow take over a bit. Just enough to warn me.
I think Raven just wanted me to contact him so that he could protect me if something happened.
I dont know.
Im no demon expert.
Maybe it was just that faded eye colour meant something else.
"I have to go see Anne now if its okay." He says.
"Yes yes.. of course.." I reply.
Raven looks around a bit.
He reaches behind his back.
"Give him one cup of this." He says.
He hands me a bottle of sparkly liquid.
"Okay." I say
Raven sighs.
"One more question...
Has Jake done anything?"
I look down at the floor.
"Go on bitch. Are you going to tell him?"
I look up again.
It was Jake. He was behind Raven, smiling.
Raven looks sad.
Jake's expression changes to sadness too.
Jake looks at me and sighs.
"Jake."
"Raven."
Raven turns around to face Jake.
Raven is taller than Jake and looks down at him.
Wait.
Isnt Raven taller than everybody?
Seven foot was quite tall.
213cm for people who use centimetres.

"Did anyone ask for your presence here?" Raven asks Jake.
"No. I taught id just show up." Jake replies.
"Leave" Raven says threatiningly.
"No"
"Yes"
"No"
"Yes."
"No!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
Jake looks angrily at Raven.
Raven looks at Jake.
"Why do you hate me?" Jake asks Raven.
"Because you've already ruined or planning to ruin somebody elses life." Raven replies immediatly.
"That's not-"
"YES it is." Raven interrupts.
There was no point in trying to stop the two.
"Maybe I should go." I say slowly.
Jake looks over at me.
"Maybe you Should." He says.
I quickly run away before anything else could happen.
