Continuation of Stefan's POV:

I saw a flash of blue and purple before a little girl was giggling, running down the hall as her silk blue dress flared out from behind her. Dante frowned and let me go before he teleported down the hall to get in front of her and scooped her off the floor, holding her tightly as she started to squirm and hiss, exposing her fangs.

"Raven," Dante purred into her ear. "Calm down~" She giggled and kicked her feet a little as she looked up at Dante then turned in his arms, wrapping her arms around his head then went to climb over him but he kept a tight grip on her and held her back. I eyed her over and widened my eyes. She's way too hyper! Why'd he bring me around her? I could be doing better things... like cleaning windows. He started to rock her in his arms and walked up to me as she started to settle down a little at it and looked around with a small giggle. "Raven, this is Stefan. Stefan, this is your mistress Raven," he purred out then rubbed her head. She looked at me as her gold eyes brightened up at the sight of me and she purred loudly and giggled, reaching for me. I yelped and stepped away from her hands quickly. No way am I letting her touch me! I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders as tiny arms wrapped around my head and I felt silk against the back of my neck.

"Caught! I caught you!" She said and tightened her grip on me. I saw Dante hold back a laugh, covering his mouth to hide it.

"D-Dante," I whined out in a begging tone and tried to pull her off me.

"What? It's cute," he told me then smirked. "I think I like it." I heard Raven give a small purr as she played with my hair and then rubbed one of my ears as she ran her small hand towards it then tugged on it. I frowned and sent a small glare towards Dante. This is his fault! I don't want a little kid clinging to me. He watched us then purred before he came up and grabbed Raven's hands. "Hey cutie~ want a cookie?" She giggled quickly and gripped his hands before she nodded.

"I wanna cookie!" She said then let him pick her up off me. He held her close then kissed her cheek before he looked at me.

"Let's get you that cake," he told me then winked. "A cookie for Raven, and a slice of cake for my sweet donor." I smiled at the thought.

"Cake?" I asked him and walked past him quickly. I don't get that everyday.

"Yes, cake," Dante hummed out and was hot on my trail. I could feel his eyes watching my back as a purr escaped him. I lead him to the kitchen and looked around for some cake that might be already made by the chiefs. Dante set Raven down on the counter then rubbed her head before she disappeared, making him freeze up and start looking for her in the cupboards. A chief looked my way then frowned.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked as he moved a pot of stew- probably the servant's dinner for tonight. I smiled and got a spoon before I managed to get a spoon full of the stew and ran to the other side of the kitchen with it and ate it.

"Master Dante said I deserved a slice of cake," I explained. The chief tsked as he watched me then sat the pot down.

"A slice of cake huh? You're just in here to steal foo-"

"Get him a slice of cake," Dante hissed out from nearby, opening another cupboard. The chief tensed then nodded, going to a cake on the far side of the kitchen and cut a slice, putting it on a plate then brought it towards me. "Also, I need-" I heard a jar rattle before it fell to the ground off the top of a counter, busting open and spilling cookies everywhere. Raven giggled and suddenly appeared on the floor among the glass, eating the cookies as she got cut by the glass. Tensing, Dante looked towards her and was by her side quickly, scooping her off the floor to get her away from the glass. I started to eat my slice of cake with the spoon I got.
