~ Raven's POV~

As they sat in the diner, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The awkward silence was deafening, and she was desperate for something to break it.

Glancing over at Lumiére, she noticed that he wasn't drinking coffee like she was. "You don't drink coffee?" she asked, trying to make conversation.

"I don't... have no use for human drinks..." Lumiére replied arrogantly, before quickly realizing how he must have sounded.

"Don't mind me... I don't like coffee. I tend to avoid it when I can," he added, trying to ease the tension in the air.

Nodding in understanding, though she didn't know why someone wouldn't like coffee. she turned her attention back to the window, gazing up at the twinkling stars in the sky. The peaceful sight helped to calm her nerves, but her mind was still in a state of chaos.

"So, President..." she whispered, her voice barely audible.

    ~ Raven's POV~Raven's heart raced as she gazed into Lumiére's eyes. She couldn't deny the strong attraction she felt for him, and she longed to kiss him right then and there. As she glanced around the café, she noticed that it was half-empty; most people had already gone home for the evening. Her mind raced with the possibility of kissing him or even inviting him back to her place.Before she could say anything, a strange ringtone interrupted the moment. Raven watched as Lumiére pulled out his phone from his pocket, a frown etched on his face. She arched a brow, not at the frown on his face, but the song playing. Never in her widest imagination did she envision Lumiére to be a SpongeBob SquarePants fan."Sorry… I know it's bad…my brothers have a knack for changing my ringtone Everytime" he told her with a scowl on his face.She chuckled. Nice one brothers, she thought.He grumbled under his breath before answering the call. The person on the other end seemed angry, and she could te

    ~ Lumiére's POV~Lumiére's eyes narrowed as he stared down the Vampire, not backing down from the challenge. He could feel the tension in the air, the anticipation of the impending fight. He was the High Lord, the most powerful Vampire in the entire world, and he would not let this creature harm another human on his watch.The Vampire's stance was predatory, and Lumiére could see the muscles in its arms tense as it prepared to strike. He took a step forward, his own body poised for battle. He knew he had to be careful; this was no ordinary Vampire, it was a killer, and it was skilled in combat."Back off," Lumiére growled, his voice low and menacing. "I won't ask you again. Release the human and leave this place now, or face the consequences."The Vampire hissed, its eyes flashing with anger and defiance. It was clear that this creature was not going to back down without a fight. But Lumiére was not afraid; he had faced far worse than this before.The vampire bared his fangs, his eye

    ~ Raven's POV~Last night had been an absolute rollercoaster for Raven. It all started with her attending a party that she really didn't feel like attending, but decided to go anyway, mostly out of social an work obligation and discovering that the President of the university was Lumiére – the same man she had made out with and then walking home with him, only to stop over for a mini date and then boom, he was gone again.

    ~Raven's POV~“ How did you know the name Honeycutt?”Raven's heart was pounding in her chest as she whispered the question to the man with a suspicious gaze. She was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that he knew her real name, Honeycutt. She couldn't believe that someone had dug up such personal information about her, especially since she had never shared it with anyone before. She didn't even go by that name at work. Simply put it that no one except her grandmother knows.As the man stared at her with a smile on his face, she couldn't help but wonder what his angle was. Was he trying to intimidate her with this information?She didn't know how he got the information, but he sure did his assignment.Raven was beginning to feel like she was in over her head, but she refused to back down now. She had come too far to give up now."I thought you wanted to know who Phoenix is?" the man said, his smile widening. "Hell, you have to be more shocked with me calling you Phoenix.

    ~ Raven's POV~Raven couldn't fathom how the man before her could claim to have been present at her birth. "How the hell is that possible. Surely I must have heard something about you in the past, plus you look…no offense…but you don’t look that old…” she said, glancing at his figure skeptically. In response, the man simply nodded and stated, “Yes, I don’t look that old...you’d be surprised at my age if I told you though.”Despite the man's calm demeanor, Raven remained unconvinced. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea that this stranger could have been present during such a significant moment in her life. She had already found it difficult enough to believe that he was keeping an eye on her to determine whether or not she posed a threat.As she pondered his claims, Raven became increasingly agitated. She thought to herself that there was definitely no way the man was saying the truth. How could he possibly expect her to believe such a preposterous story? She couldn't help but

He could feel himself slipping into a daze, his thoughts drifting off into the realm of sleep.To keep himself awake, Lumiére picked up the tablet that was lying in front of him and started scrolling through it.

This was a game changer and they needed to come up with a plan to combat this new threat. Lord Hitter's question broke the silence, and everyone turned to him expectantly.“How are the victims identified?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. The man who had brought the news furrowed his brow in thought. “We saw burns on their body. What could burn a Vampire's body?” he replied, scanning the faces of those around the room.The question hung in the air, unanswered. Everyone knew what could burn a vampire's body. The group looked at each other, looking round the room. When no one spoke up, the man groaned in frustration. “C'mon people,” urging them to think harder.Lord Ramon’s second in command snorted at the man's question, "Were you expecting us to answer that question?" he asked, confused.

    (10 months later)Phoenix watched Lumiére through the window as he gazed into the distance. He had been doing that for months, and she was starting to get worried.

She missed uncle Ben, Jansen, Achim, Nolan, hell, even the cook, but she hadn't abandoned everything, including her duties to her kind, to run away with the man she loved.She sighed and walked out the door to meet him outside.

    Lumiére's POVLumiére winced in agony as Heather injected him with another dose of Allicin. The pain was unbearable, pushing him to his limits. Most Vampires wouldn't have survived being exposed to Allicin every hour for weeks, but he was different. He was stronger, or so he believed.But as the days turned into weeks, doubts began to creep into his mind. How much longer could he endure this torture? He had lost track of time since his capture, possibly a month or more. It was all a blur.He let out a weary sigh, bracing himself for what was to come. No matter how many times he resisted, Heather refused to believe him."Where is the sword?!" Heather sneered, the frustration evident in his voice."I've already told you, I don't know," Lumiére snapped back, meeting Heather's gaze defiantly.Heather scoffed, grabbing another syringe filled with Allicin. Lumiére raised an eyebrow, surprised at the sudden escalation. Two shots in such a short span of time? This was a new tactic."I see you

    Raven's POVRaven felt cold water splash on her face, waking her up with a gasp for air. The memories of her past life caused a heartache and regret that she wished she hadn't remembered them. Recovering her memories was painful, and she wasn't even fully there yet.Somehow she wished that she had not remembered this piece of her past life. She hasn’t fully recovered her memories and it already hurt this much, she thought.She knew she had tears running through her eyes, but because she was now drenched in water, it was not noticeable to the ordinary eyes, except one looked deeply.She had known Lumiére in her past life, and they were lovers. The realization that she had betrayed him felt like being stung by a thousand bees at once.Ophelia's presence was no surprise anymore. It was clear that she was working with both the witches and outlaws.

I told you to let it go," she said, teasingly scolding him.He rolled his eyes, sitting down next to her on the mat. "I couldn't help it; it was beautiful… not as beautiful as you though," he added, playfully sniffing her neck.Raven chuckled and gently pushed him away, though she secretly loved his affectionate gestures. Being close to Lumiére made her heart skip a beat. She smiled at him, and he seemed to be lost in the sunset that was now painting the sky with beautiful colors.They had spent a long time out there, enjoying each other's company, and though it was time to head back home, she didn't want to leave this moment behind."You think we could build a house here to watch the sun set in the horizon?" she murmured, voicing her dream.Lumiére scoffed gently, "Oh, Phoenix, I wish we could do just t

    Raven's POVOakhurst? Raven's mind was buzzing with questions. Why was Lumiére in Oakhurst? It was the same place she had been abducted by the witch. It had to be a coincidence; she couldn't fathom any other explanation. But she didn't want to reveal her own presence in Oakhurst to Lumiére. After all, it was almost an hour away from her home and university.Just as she was about to speak, the door creaked open, saving her from any potential lies. Finally, someone was coming in, and maybe they would get some answers to their bewildering situation.She wondered what the guys would be doing now that she was missing. Would they see this as a collateral loss and forget her or would they search for her.In her mind, she worried about Achim, who had been with her when she was taken, though unconscious. She hoped he would have been able to provide some valuable information to the others.With bated breath, she watched Lumiére, who seemed equally anxious, waiting for the newcomer to enter the

He felt the same way – being with her was something he cherished deeply.Raven reached for an apple from the picnic basket, taking a bite before offering it to him. He playfully teased her, "Feeding me now, are you?"She rolled her eyes playfully in response, "Well, you need someone to take care of you since you don't like eating. I guess that's my job now
