Kara stares at the food on the table, she had suddenly lost her appetite. She wonders why Raven had acted the way he did last night; did she do anything wrong? Was it wrong that she kissed him back? Sighs. She felt horrible, the last thing she wanted was Raven being angry with her or keeping his distance from her. She plays with her food on the table using her fork.
"Are you okay Kara?" Her aunt who has been watching her for a while her asks.
"I'm fine." She lied.
Her uncle who was occupied devouring his plate of food glance at the both of them.
"Kara is it about your father? I'm sure you miss your parents." He said.
"It has nothing to do with my parents." She snaps."I just don't feel like eating now."
"Are you sick?" Her aunt asks concerned.
"No, I'm fine." She snaps.
She couldn't still get her mind of Raven.
"You dad will be visiting next week, he wants to go on a vacation and he decides to spend his vacation in New York." Her uncle announces.
" Cool! you mean Uncle will be visiting us soon?" Asks Simon an eleven year old boy and the eldest of Kara's uncle's kids.
"Yes." His dad replies.
"No way!" Kara blurted out not knowing when the words came out.
"Why?" Her aunt asks.
Kara found herself lost, the thought of Raven and her dad both finding their way into her mind. She gasps. Her dad had never taken a vacation before. Why would he now? Wasn't this man ever going to let her breathe. She thought.
"But, I just move to New York. Isn't he ever going to give me a chance to be a woman of my own. I'm not a little girl anymore." She blurts out.
"Kara, your dad cares for you. He doesn't want to see you hurt. And you should appreciate that." Her uncle assures.
"Look at me Uncle, I'm not the little scared girl I used to be. I miss my dad, but he doesn't give me a chance to be free, to explore the world around, to mingle." Kara said.
"I don't know what to tell you Kara. But I do know my brother can be sometimes overprotective____". Her uncle said.
"I don't need his protection, he is my father, not my bodyguard." Kara interrupts.
"Kara your dad sees himself as everything to you. He loves you." Her aunt places her hand on Kara's.
"Kara, there are some things you will never understand until you become a parent." Her uncle concludes.
Kara sighs frustratedly."I think I will leave the food for later."
Her uncle stares at her.
"I gotta go." She stood and left the dinning.
Kara enters her room and shots the door behind her, she rests her back on the door.
She sobs. She love her dad but, she doesn't like the way he is clinged to her. She never gets the chance to do anything not even to have a boyfriend. Now she finally had Raven, a man she had truly fell in love with and now he is coming to New York, for a vacation he never had. Her dad had always given her previous boyfriends chores. Chores which seem so impossible saying if they could pass the chores, they could date her. She was confuse.
"I guess you got so consumed in your thoughts that you failed to notice me. " Raven's voice disrupts her thought.
Kara gasps heavily. "What are you_? How did you even get here?
Raven got up from the couch he sat at the end of the room, he strolls to meet Kara making her feel his warm breath.
He pecks her on her forehead. "One of my specialty."
"Anyways, I glad you're here." She hugs him.
"What troubles you Kara." He asks.
Kara looks up at him. "I don't want to talk about it."
"Ok. I came to apologize for what happened last night." Raven said calmly.
"Did I did anything wrong?" She releases him.
"No you didn't." He said. "I'm sorry I left the way I did, something came up. Which was really strange to me."
Kara rolls her eyes."I thought it was because I kissed you."
Raven smirks. "No it's not. You can always kiss me if you want."
Kara cheeks flush, she bends her head down.
Raven grins at her, he held her chin to raise her head making sure their eyes meets each other. He kisses her.
Kara felt much more better when he kissed her, she couldn't bear but want more. She felt jealous when the thought of Raven kissing another woman that way or him ever leaving her.
Raven's grin widen. "I'm all yours Kara. There's no need being jealous of what is yours. You can always do whatever you want with me. Because 'I Love You'."
Kara sighs feeling a bit relieve by his words. "I Love You Too Raven." On a second thought she said. "Raven, will you__?" She pauses. "Will you ever leave me, for someone else? Will you fall in love with someone else?"
Raven's eyes widen with irritation. "No, why would you say that?"
"I just don't want you to leave me." Kara said.
Raven held her face with his palm. "No Kara, I would never leave you."
Kara places her hand on Raven's palm which was against her face. "Don't make promises you can't keep Raven."
"I don't break my promise, 'Not Even Heaven Can Make Me Do Anything To Hurt You, Or Leave You' I give you my word Kara.
Kara gasps. "Raven."
"My word is my bond." He caresses her cheek.
Kara stares at him enjoying the moment. "I love your eyes."
"Really?" Raven asks startled.
"Yes."
"My uncle once said; 'They Were Stones From Hell'." Raven said calmly.
"He is mean." She kisses him.
Her kiss made Raven felt strangely excited; His wings treatened to sprout out making his back aches, fangs emerging and his eyes colour changing. Raven shot his eyes close in attempt to control it. Raven gasps heavily.
"Raven what's wrong?" She said touching his cheek, they felt so hot that she pulled her hand back.
Raven looks at her, his heart churned that he had hurt her. "I'm sorry Kara."
"You are not well Raven." Kara said.
"I.. Aah!." Raven grunts then fell to the ground. He could feel his muscles expand and contract at the same time, his veins seem to be filled with tiny pins flowing through them instead of blood. His world began to spin as his head throbs with pain.
"Kara." He whispers, his eye lids feeling heavy and dim.
"Raven! Raven! wake up." Kara shakes him vigorously."What's wrong Raven?".
Raven passed out.
