make me

34-the horsemen

I felt a tear run down my cheek, imagining what Raven must have felt. Losing a loved one is really hard, i mean, I lost my failure of parents and still felt sad, so I could only imagine what it was like losing someone you actually cared for.

.................................
Raven's POV
.................................

I woke up at 4 am, I left a note to Bee like I had planned and continued my way to my lovely "job"... I was way to naive when I accepted it, any person in their right sort of mind would have said no, but the king had promised me eternal power and anything I wanted, and like a young and abused human would, I accepted, who wouldn't right? Well that's what you think until you see the transformation you have to go through, all the killing you have to do and every conditions you have to respect, especially when you're the king's favourite.

I got in my car, placed my axe in the backseat and started the engine. I had to drive for a little while, so I had to leave early in the morning. Amos was probably already there, he always tried to be the favorite, to bad it's me, Polly and Loki we're going to be late for sure, they always are...

The way we fonction is pretty simple, we're five in total, counting the king in. Amos is cocky and pisses me off most of the time, but he's pretty strong and almost as old as me, so he's a must. Polly is childish and crazy, she can kill anyone you ask her too, she's the one to lure people in. Loki is the brains, he makes the plans and gives us every details about a mission. I'm the one who tortures people and torments them, to make it short, I have the ugly job, but I cant help but like it. And for the king, his name is Domitrik, but he asks us to call him king as a nickname, he tells us what to do, who we have to "put back in their place". He's the oldest vampire in the world and me and the other three have been turned by him. We always hid what we did, but with time, people catch on and they began calling us the horsemen.

I drove all the way to our hideout in about 2h and unlike I had planned, all the others were there. The king was sitting in his usual spot as well as all the others.

"Hi, there Raven. We were waiting for you..." he said lifting his head up slightly.

"I can see that, what happened for us to be called here?" I asked him wanting to move on quickly.

"It's oscar again." You could tell he was pissed off. Oscar was a millionaire, he's been fucking our things up ever since he got rich, he thinks the whole world owes him, and since were the top ranks in the vampire world, he's always onto us.

"Can I kill him, pleaaaaase," interrupted Polly with her machete on her shoulder.

"Not now Polly, first, were going to make his life a living nightmare." He looked at me, while I was already looking at him knowing he would ask me to torture him. "Raven will be in charge of that, as for Amos," Amos got up taking his sledge hammer with him, "you'll kidnap him and his family, Polly, you can do whatever you want with any people that gets in the way," Polly jumped and screamed in ecstasy, "and Loki, you get the information and find a way to break into his mansion. We're all good?"

"As always, king." I smiled and bowed mockingly.

"Okay, then, let's pack things up." We all got up from our usual spots and took our weapons with us. Loki was already on his computer, hacking into the security, Polly was stretching, Amos was standing in a dark corner as always, as I was looking at my phone and texting Bee.

Hey, how are you, is everything fine?

Yeah everything is fine, me and Anastasia are getting along well. How are you?

That's good, and that doesn't matter. Anyways, ill see you soon, I have to work. Bye, I love you, okay?

Oh, ok. I... love you, too.

Not going to lie, I was a bit scared to let Anastasia with Bee. I know she likes girls and that she's a charmer, but she wouldn't do anything like that to me, she knows what would happen... I'm not part of the horsemen for nothing after all.

"Raven, it's been a while..." Amos lurked out of the shadows, approaching me.

"Oh, Amos, how have I missed you," I said sarcastically , squinting my eyes at him.

"Same here, big sis, I heard you have a new lover... that's her you were texting right there, right?" He said, obviously stepping over the line.

"Mmh, yeah, but that's none of your business as I recall, so it wouldn't matter to you." I said trying to end the conversation right then and there, but of course, he wasn't having it.

"It would be a shame if the king learned about her... you wouldn't want the same thing that happened to Elizabeth to happen all over again, would you?" He smiled mockingly at me.

Right when those words left his mouth, I sped in front of him, holding my axe to his throat.

"And you wouldn't want your guts spilled all over the fucking floor, would you?" I copied his words.

He pushed away my axe slowly, smiling and showing defeat. "No... I wouldn't want that, but maybe you should remember that you're not the only one that's strong here, one day I won't let you walk all over me like this." He spit out his words.

"I would like to see you try, Amos." I let go of him and went back to my seat, as he walked back to the same corner he was before while still fixating his eyes on me.

We stayed in silence until Loki finished his research and hacking, then we talked about the plan and we were on our way to kill the man we should have killed way before today. And while we were on the mission, the only thing I could think about is if Ana would keep her promise.
