"I know you would never hurt me." He had smiled softly at Jude, kissing the top of his head lightly.

His body tense, uncontrollable rage coursed through his veins for an instant, then it was gone. He closed his eyes tightly and opened them. Taking a slight step back from Jude and placing a hand under the boy's chin. Gently he lifted Jude's face, looking deep into his eyes. His kissed Jude's left cheek and then the right.

"What a horrible thing for any parent to do to their child." His other hand gently moved to rest on Jude's chest, over the boy's heart. "No one should ever have to endure that kind of abuse and pain." Then he had pulled Jude's shirt open a bit more, he leaned down and gently trailed soft kisses along the parts of the scar he could reach.

Rachello closed her eyes as she held his kiss. Her hands gently wrapped around his shoulders as she moved closer to him. Thoughts of the last days ran through her mind erasing the memories of the past that she kept locked away deep inside where no one could ever find them or know her dark secrets. She felt safe and innocent again with him. She felt something she had forgotten...she felt love for the first time since the death of her parents.

Raven looked deep into Rachello eyes. "Lets go away" he said. "Lets go deep into the woods, away from the other vampires and lycans, and start a new life together."

Rachello looked at him and studied his face, then smiled at him. "Do you think it is that simple? If it is then yes....and if it isn't I'll protect you the best I can." She gently pulled him closer to her as she kissed him again.

"If it is, then I'll protect you" Raven said with a smile. He went back to kissing Rachello.

Rachello smiled as she pulled away from him and smiled. "I beat you can't get me!" She laughed as she leaped into the air and disappeared in thin air. She then appeared next to the waters edge as she disappeared into the air again as she reappeared in one of the trees in the woods. She laughed as if she was a child playing.

Raven went into wolf form, and playfuly gave chase. He followed Rachello using his hightened senses.

Rachello laughed as she hid from him in one of the trees keeping quit as she watched him.

Jude blushed, sighing happily as he leaned into the kisses. It was amazing... and he never wanted him to stop. He wrapped his arms around him, feeling his eyes drip with little tears. He sniffled, sighing a little. "Nnngh." He trembled, sighing slowly.

As tears dripped, Jude felt stupid. He blushed slowly, his head feeling congested and nose stuffed up. He hated that man who called himself his "father". He was so glad he'd done what he'd done... and killed him like he deserved...

Raven picked up Rachello's sent, and looked uped into the tree. "Come on, you can do better than that" he said playfuly.

Rachello laughed as she jumped from the tree pinning him to the ground as she kissed his ear ears and laughed. "Your right I can. mmm I think you are a stray dog. You need a collar and a leash. You are not supose to be out in the woods without your owner what happens if some random person takes you." She gently kissed his muzzle as she got up and looked at him smiling.

"I have a bite that's just as bad as my bark" Raven lick Rachello on the cheek, and got out from under her. He then leaped on her back and whispered in her ear "What's a little girl like you doing all by herself in the woods? Don't you know that the wolves are out tonight?"

She laughed as she grin at him. She rolled her eyes as she removed him from her back gently then headed deeper into the woods. "Hunting of course, I hope the wolves are out what else would I hunt?" She laughed as she began to run threw the woods loving the wind in her hair as she went.

Raven gave chase. Suddenly, a group of vampires appeared in fron of Raven and Rachello.

Rachello stepped in front of Raven as she bared her fangs as she stared at her brothers and sisters. She let out a warning growl as she saw one getting ready to attack. "One step sisters and brothers and I will tear you to sreads" She pulled out her sword as she looked at them. She wasn't going to let them get close enough to Raven if it was the last thing she did.

"Filthy dog lover!" one of the vampires shouted. One of them shot an arrow at Rachello, but Raven was able to catch it in his jaws and break it.

Rachello let out a growl as she stud her ground she began to laugh. "Come now such names. Have I been nothing but a good sister to you. Well to bad for you I like to earn my names." She smiled as she leaped in the air she pulled her sword to her side as she neared one then slung it at him letting it leave a clean cut as the male's head fell off she did the same to the others of the group leaving a few behind but not enough to cause any trouble she smiled as she felt the thrill of hunting. She was happy that she was older than most in the clan. This gave her advantage of experience.

"First an attack by my kind, and now an attack by your kind." Raven went back to human form. "I guess that makes us outcasts."

Rachello turned and looked at him. "I guess so....but I never did fit in anyhow was always to good at my job." She smiled as she moved to his side still holding her sword wandering if there would be anymore trouble.

"I know of a cabin on the other side of the lake, in the hills" Raven said. "We should be be able to get some sanctuary there."

She looked at him as she put her sword away. "Then please lead the way if you are sure you want this. There is still a change for you to change your mind...it want matter about me I can't die."

Raven led Rachello to a boat sitting by the waters edge. They got in and rowed across the lake. They made their way thought the hills until they reached the cabin. "This is it. Home sweet home."

She looked about the place as she gently reached for Raven's hand holding it as she looked at him and blushed a bit. "It is quit nice I must say."

"I found it yars ago. Not sure who built it" Raven said. He went and sat on a sofa. "At least here we can be alone."

Rachello walked about the place as she found herself in the small kitchen area she smiled as she looked about it at the pots and pans.She walked back to where Raven was and leaned down and kisses his cheek the walked about the place again. She walked into the small bedroom and laid on the bed.
