An identity

Jay wears the key like a long key chain pendant. Not any memoir or any cliché feeling of having Ace near to her heart all the time, but to run towards a safe shelter during an episode. Her insane seizures which were dormant for a while, kept getting worse until the current strange session which brought her back miraculously enough.

She had no hope left at all after the guy passed away.

And now she has got a unique luck to keep on having encounters with all sorts of specimen guys from who knows where.

As she unlocked her arena of materialistic salvation, which belonged to Ace, she turned around to find the Raven nowhere in sight!

The location had always been so unnaturally dark that the boy seemed to have merged in it completely. Everything about him screamed shady, and now these characteristics of him are too suspicious. Even accustomed to darkness each time, Jay's eyes still flickered for any slight motion around. Her observant nature being put to test. Her own actions frozen to spot.

Oblivious to her of course, she was being watched intently and keenly close! Master in the art of keeping even his hair still to the point where his presence is often mistaken as invisible and missed by most, the dark eyed guy was taking his time judging his most recent sacrifice.

Eyes dead and lost, but still searching for his own, lips pressed into a thin tightness as a nervous act of not finding the Raven around, flushed cheeks due to the early episode, hairdo clutched above and short locks escaping through.

And fuck!!!

Does she look tempting smeared all over with his spilled blood on her body! Really beautiful!!!

When the ash blonde was done extracting, more likely drinking every inch of her particularly fuckable physique, a timid but hoarse voice crept up to his ears hesitating.

"R-Raven….?", unsure if that's what she should address her with.

Her low-pitched voice calling out the name of his species was really attracting him.

No one has ever called him like that, no emotion, but holding a lot of vengeance in just the voice.

Hell! No one has ever even bothered to call him out. None of his sacrifices!

He shifted and exposed his presence to her.

As soon as she sensed his movement and position, she dropped her guard and caution. Without any further questions, she turned, unlocked the front door and entered. No more flying fucks given at all!

The Raven just cocked an eyebrow and followed her in the abandoned house where once there were parts of a beautiful story.

Due to the strange contract, which was sealed when Jay had attempted to slaughter him, an unspoken telepathic bond was formed between the two. The Raven containing the upper hand could feel Jay's mind, thoughts, emotions, doubts or insecurities.

No! he can't read the exact mind but sense her deeper voice unspoken. The same feeling would overtake him whenever there's a shift in her emotions.

However, Jay would be deprived of such an ability. She could rarely feel his presence unless he is responsive enough or their bond had exceeded the limit. And again, she was oblivious to those unless Raven decide to explain it to her.

The home had its usual neon lights on as the Raven had to admit that the owner had really warm tastes.

He was suddenly hit with a heavy wave of nostalgic shock, residing within Jay. He smirked behind her, knowing the exact reason and craving some fun.

"Rare...", he spoke for the first time judging his surrounding in satisfaction," ….is your kind. We are called Ravens".

Jay snapped at the overall repeat of such bullshit names. Does he really need to say that again?

"Didn't ask!", she spat.

"Don't care?", he raised a brow, "You should"

"What's the fucking point?", Jay had vanished inside a room, not sparing a glance.

The Raven faked a gasping expression and continued nevertheless," You need to know your rules to follow them".

Jay exited from the said room with rolled eyes, as a cue for him to continue. Interest wasn't her choice; it was forced because she couldn't get rid of him any sooner.

The Raven dropped on the sofa owning it.

Jay scrunched up her nose in slight disagreement, "Don't", she spoke genuinely in concern," March around naked feet for a while and get in there after 20 minutes. The water should be heated up by then".

Ash blonde responded by lifting himself up quietly. Throwing a hopeless glance at Jay which went violently ignored, he leaned against the wooden chair instead beside the table, raising his eyebrows gesturing if it was okay.

Jay waved her palm dismissively as she continued to march around the house doing chatty tasks. The Raven talked and she had mind and physical body differentiated from his very presence to contrasting attentions.

Occasional glances kept her check on the Raven fucking creature and her hands performed skillfully setting the stuff she had left in last time.

"Demons, evils, Undead incarnation or Grim, all comes under my species. The birth is the outcome of a heinous crime, mighty proud of the rank of sin", he stated.

"Same here", Jay retorted without looking.

"Babe's man left her coz he wasn't smart enough to live on and protect her?", the bitter line sure did shut the girl up and gained her attention," We exist for the sole purpose to serve your kind Rare! Because no one else can, surely not any low ranked human. Once you had decided to kill me, the contract was signed. You're stuck with me, Rare and Raven, doesn't it sound good?".

"Just like your face", a real blunt reply for the earlier sarcasm. The Raven mouthed an 'ouch'.

"What's the name?".

"That would be …...Raven, again?", he shrugged.

"Sure, I'm a human", came a mockery," The name!".

The Raven stared back with pretend doe eyes, dark crimson. Did it just swap color? Jay was known to have a sharp memory even in her chronic to have remembered the Raven's dark shaded eyes. His confused expression just changed color in his iris.

He tried thinking of something, in vain. His eyes had shifted away from Jay completely, now icy blue shade. Slowly fading to his original black form. The not-so-done silence coming from the quick-witted creature even stopped Jay to rethink on the situation. She turned at him to find an utterly lost face and frowning eyebrows, trying hard for something. It didn't take long to strike her in the head.

"You…. don't have a name", she concluded.

The Raven looked up and for the first time Jay flinched taking a direct look at his face.

Dark, isn't even the word to cover that description in whole. He shook his head sincerely as Jay just studied him better. Hair, pitch-coal black, unconditionally shiny that the light reflected over the strands.

A small partition at the side had a few silver strands too, perfectly matching the jet-black surrounding. May be dyed or just a Raven genetic.

Clear face with little tan expressing his sharp jawlines.

Natural lips and hard physique.

And lastly the most intimidating, eyes! Fucking it always the eyes.

And he bore color swapping ones.

Black, deeper than the depths of the ocean and drowning in the abyss. Like black flames extracted from the tyrannic hell. Not an inch of light in them,full of sin, slight dilation and sharp lashes.

The pupils shook fast, trying to figure out her mind for the cause of being judged suddenly.

Really dark, and creepily rough.

Nothing like those blue deep ones. These are too demonic, like the death ocean. But with the similar familiarity!

Jay couldn't make out what was so comparing with both the blue and black sets, because the contrast touched sky and sand. They had nothing in common. Yet the awful vibe was pulling Ace in her mind continuously. Why do these eyes have connections with them? And before jay could figure out the mystery, the word flew out from her mouth without realization.

"Wave ...."

The Raven tilted his head, "Wave? Want to call me that?".

The fact appeared strange to him as she nodded unconsciously. None of former sacrifices as said never even addressed him. It was all a professional relationship. He despised them and discarded them soon after the contract was formed.

They just used him strictly based on profession and didn't entertain him further. And he needed pleasure. Nothing was getting any interesting for him.

The newly named, Wave smirked.

His sacrifice just named him.

Her depths of naming him were reaching him which made him widen his smile even more.

This one's is surely gonna be different.
