‘I Am Raven”, Derrick Kuebler

“You’re the Raven…Aren’t you?” The masked man asked.
“Pardon?” I asked back, confused by his reaction.
“I-I know you…You’re the Raven!” He said awkwardly. Alice, Tyson, and Rabbit looked at him now. I shot Alice a confused glance.
“How does he know?” The returning glance that she gave me asked. Tyson then did something that in a million years I would have never asked him to do. The man’s facial expression changed in the blink of an eye. He turned away and hunched his head down to the ground in a cowering way.
“Psh that was pretty simple,” Tyson said and walked on down the alleyway.
“Ha-ha nice one Ty,” Rabbit said standing even closer to him then before. I turned leading the way down a narrower alleyway; Alice was right behind me gripping tightly onto my hand. On either side of the alleyway where staircases each with an address number and a name engraved in rusted metal above the actual stares. The third one in on the left hand side wasn’t named or addressed; instead it had in gothic text the words ‘Postulo Pro Raven’. That would be our place.
I led the way down the stairs, slowly compared to how fast most people usually go down stairs. My black hair, I assumed, looked great flowing behind me glaring the moonlight off of me as if I was nothing but a shadow. I unlocked the door and flashed on the light, it was still extremely dim, even with the light on. But still dim light was all we needed.
“How did that guy on the street know who you are?” Alice asked aloud.
“…I don’t know…” I replied, honestly wondering who in the hell he was.
“ Well who ever he was, and how ever the hell he knew who you are, he wont be coming back,” Tyson said with a smile, and flashed his fangs. He was horny. It was quite obvious, by the way he looked at Rabbit, and by the way his fangs had been showing all day since we even arrived at the blood bath. We all were, in a way, ‘horny’ I guess you could say. But with Ty and Rabbit it was more of lust than love. That wasn’t the same for me and Alice though.
