Straight on Til' Morning; Book 4 of the Love is Weakness(Carlos De Vil) series

Warn People About the Pixie Dust

Carlos grabbed a different hoodie, it was black with a red hood. Raven and Carlos walked down the path in the woods, toward Evie's castle. It was very dark, and they couldn't see very well.

"Oh, man! It got dark really quickly." Exclaimed Carlos.

"I have an idea..." Proposed Raven. 

"Oh, that can't be good." He joked.

"Would you say that you're feeling happy right now?" She asked.

"Well, it's dark, and your family wants to kidnap you..." He retorted, sarcastically.

"How about now?" She pressed.

It was pitch black and Carlos couldn't see her. Suddenly he felt a pair of soft lips on his, followed by smooth hands on his back-- under his shirt. He was startled, but quickly melted into the kiss. They hadn't kissed since everything happened, and this was like Heaven on Earth. Carlos lifted her up bridal style twirling her around; and continued to fall under her spell, their lips dancing. He put her down after they needed air, and she was giggling from the impromptu spinning.

"Yeah, I would say that I'm feeling happy now." He breathed.

"Good." She stated.

Carlos nose began to itch and tickle...

"Achoo!!! " He sneezed, and the sneeze shot him into the air.

"Raven! You have to warn people about the pixie dust." He half scolded, laughing.

"Oh, that's no fun." She quipped.

"I can't see you." Carlos complained.

"Follow my voice, and grab my hand." She instructed.

He found her hand and abruptly she flew up, bringing her boyfriend with her. They shot up so fast, faster than Carlos has ever flown.

"Whoa! Whoa! Raven! Slow down!" He ordered nervously.

She laughed and kept her speed, until they were high above the woods.

Carlos could see again. They could see the lights down below outside of the wooded area, and the stars and moon that illuminated the sky.

"Like it?" She asked

"This is amazing." He mused. "I've never flown at night before."

"It's the best, and this will be a lot faster." She explained.

"Whoa! We're actually almost there." He exclaimed, as Evie's castle was now in view.

Just as they were about to come down for a landing on Evie's property; a burst of orange and blue blinded them, causing them to fall from the sky. It was lucky for them that they were close to landing, but the fall still packed a punch.

Both Carlos and Raven hit the ground and rolled on the grass. Carlos was now on his back and Raven was trying to push herself up with her hands.

The VKs and AKs all came running out to see what happened, each had a weapon in hand.

"What the hell was that?" Cried Jay.

"Who's out there? Show yourself!" Ordered Ben.

Mal's eyes began to glow green.

"You've got five seconds!" She threatened.

"Guys, guys it's us, it's just us!" Cried Carlos, his hands in the air with Raven behind him.

"What was up with the smoke bombs, and what happened to you guys?" Evie demanded.

Carlos and Raven were covered in grass; Carlos had a fresh cut over his eye, and Raven had a brush burn on her cheek and was nursing her elbow.

"We flew here, and something... or someone knocked us out of the sky." Raven explained.

"But, they had our smoke bombs." Hartley interjected.

"Uh... Landlubbers? We're not alone." Harry announced.
