Raymond had just said something to irk their parents and now, his parents were all staring at him waiting for an explanation. Rafe had to come up with something. Something tangible and FAST!He scratched his head. "Mother, father.. I can explain" he stepped forward, hoping his boldness would deter what they had in mind. "I did not have sex with the girl, Ivy. I just went to make sure she was safe. She is my friend. I wouldn't want them to hurt her" Rafe said as he relaxed his hands and placed them in his pocket.Their father turned to Raymond, "How did you know he was having sexual intercourse with that girl… .what's her name again?... Ivy!". He folded his arms."I sensed her perfume on his shirt. I've been around her before so I could tell what she smells like and he must have been around her or… in her, for him to smell like her for this long" Raymond shrugged.Their mom advanced towards Rafe, rubbing invisible dirt off his shoulders, brushing his hair backwards and playing with his
Rafe was out of his room and slowly closing the door to avoid being heard by his parents or anyone in the house. He tried to close the door as quietly as possible but it failed. As he stood in the doorway, ready to leave the house, he suddenly heard his parents coming up the stairs behind him. He sighed and leaned against the frame, knowing they wanted to talk to him. His father was the one who spoke first. "Rafe, we need to talk to you about Ivy."Rafe's father gestured to him to come closer."It's really important."Rafe hesitated before turning around. He knew this was coming, but he still wasn't sure what to say. His parents had been worried about him ever since Raymond had told them about him and Ivy.He blamed Raymond. His brother could not shut his trap.His mother stepped closer and took his hand. "Rafe, we know you and we know how much you care about Ivy, but we're worried about you. We don't want you to make any rash decisions or do anything you'll regret later."His father
Rafe stepped out of his house, his heart racing. He had just had a big argument with his family over his liking for Ivy, a woman his heart had grown fond of. "Why can't they just let me be happy?" He shouted into the air. He had been warned not to get too close to any human and agreed to that but this time, he would gladly ignore them. Family was very important to him, but so was Ivy. Now he was out in the streets, wondering if his family would ever accept his love for Ivy. He tightened his coat against the chill of the night air and started his walk. His mind was still abuzz with thoughts of his family's rejection and his own determination to prove them wrong. He walked for a while, his thoughts gradually changing from his family to the city around him. He felt comforted by the familiar sights and sounds of the city. Suddenly, he heard a howl in the distance. He stopped in his tracks and looked around. There, a few blocks away, he could just make out a figure. It was a werewol
Rafe was shocked to see Snow. He had been so eager to reach his destination and talk to Ivy at the Klouds Inn, he hadn't expected to see Snow here, wasn't she looking for his brother? He tooj his hands from his pocket to clean his eyes and then looked around to confirm if the figure he saw standing at the entrance was really her. He was just sad a little while back but had to fake a neutral face. He focused on her. Now, there she was, smiling at him. He walked closer, a million questions running through his mind. "What are you doing here?" he finally asked. She smiled again, her eyes twinkling. "Your brother asked me to keep an eye on you," she replied. Rafe raised his eyebrows in disbelief. "My brother asked you to follow me?" She nodded. "He was worried about you, especially since you decided to travel to Klouds Inn. He said your parents pissed you off and He knew I could help you if you needed it." Rafe couldn't believe it. His brother had sent her all this way to look afte
"But you don't need to do this. I don't enjoy this." Ivy pleaded, "I've done everything you asked of me, every time you commanded me. Why are you doing this?" Snow began weeping." Please stop" "No one tells me what to do" Raymond snarled, "especially not some low-life werewolf who I owe nothing" He pulled her hair, revealing her neck as he spoke, "You should be grateful. No one has ever lived after I had sex with them" he suddenly let go of her hair which led Snow to hit her head on the table. "You should be grateful. All I require is sex and a little bit of help to get my prey in exchange for your life. I'm really merciful, you know. You wanna know why I'm merciful?" He glared at her like a lunatic. She stayed silent, blood dripping from her nose, "it's because I still kept you alive time and time again while you tried to kill me. I shouldn't have but I did ….." He bent one knee over as he knelt down, being on the eye level with her, staring her in the eye balls, blue eye yi blue
The night was chilly and Ivy shivered as she turned around, feeling as though someone was watching her. Suddenly, a bright light illuminated the sky, and Ivy saw a figure of a woman made of moonlight descending from the heavens. She was beautiful, with pale skin and long silver hair that glowed in the night sky. Ivy felt a wave of fear wash over her as the goddess approached. The goddess looked at her kindly and spoke in a gentle voice. "My child, I have watched you. I saw your struggles and I hear your pleas, don't worry. Everything will turn out fine." Ivy couldn't believe her eyes so she rubbed them and tried to look at the figure again. When she had confirmed what she had seen, Ivy answered, "Sorry, but do I know you?" "Yes, you do. I could be compared to what you earthlings call mother earth but I am called the Moon Goddess. You may have forgotten me in this new life of yours but not to worry. You'll be fine" replied the moon goddess. Ivy slowly turned around to face herself
"What do you mean by you, I and my precious little girlfriend would die? Who would try to kill us and how are you involved in this?" Rafe drew closer to her. He had already suspected something fishy and he was sure he would confirm it."Well. You and her seem cute and all but I already took an oath for you and I. We're inseparable and if anyone tried to come through us, they would die." Snow folded her arms and crossed her legs, "You're familiar with the Otous oat right? Yeah. I did that.""What's an Otous oat?""It's an oat where you invite a lover's spirit in. You and your lover take an oat, drink blood basically, while standing in a sacred place. The priest or priestess seals you guys forever. They say it's effective and that was what Romeo and Juliet did. I guess that's why they died together"Rafe didn't seem convinced." You're lying. There is no such thing. How can you invite my spirit in
Ivy walked into the lobby of Kloudz inn as Rafe and his new girlfriend were on their way out. It was an annoying sight to see but she was able to pull herself together and move past them.Rafe held hands with his new found girl and was even smiling. Ivy saw it. It broke her heart again. But she was going to be a strong woman after all and strong women do not bend backwards because of sights like that. So she stuck her nose up in the air and walked like a queen past them.As she got into the inn, she immediately requested another room. It would be insulting to her to go back to the room Rafe and his girlfriend were in. They handed her the keys to another room and she requested room service. She was beginning to feel her tummy rumble. She had barely eaten anything today.The receptionist at the desk asked her what she needed, she ordered them and asked for it to be her room. The sooner the better. With that, she turn
