     She could be heaven or hell, a strong man's dream and a weak one's nightmare...

  
     .Ravenna.

    I watch the expression on Klaus' face get darkened as he plunges towards Levi, grabbing fistfuls of his jacket. I don't intend to play the role of the terrified teenage girl who's been caught between two love interests because frankly, this was Levi's fault. I admit to a lead on but I had managed to make it clear so many times, I wasn't interested in a relationship with him in any way.

      A punch from Klaus sends Levi's jaw making an inappropriate sound. His head is forced to push in an opposite direction and his body keenly follows. I observe as Levi makes his stance once again, carrying an unbelievable amount of rage on his face. His first hit is to Klaus' stomach. That causes Klaus to cling on to his abdomen making choking sounds.

     I'm about to cut into their fight in that minute when Levi throws another harsh punch to Klaus' nose. A gasp leaves my lips as I approach the two fighters.

        "You really chose the wrong guy." Levi chuckles, observing as Klaus struggles for air. A swift second passes by and I watch as Klaus' manages to get to his proper stance once again. His hands releases his already clenched up shirt. He mimicks Levi's previous move, hitting him right in the middle of his abdomen.

       "No, she didn't." Klaus coughs out, adding up with one rough kick which sends Levi crashing onto the graveled floor.

        "Stop." I finally find my voice, going over to help Klaus. Levi coughs and choke up too and I think I catch a hint of blood in the darkness but I'm too focused on helping Klaus get to the car that I don't really have the time to properly decipher it.

        "You're going to come back to me Raven!" I hear Levi scream in the dark as I place Klaus into his car. I round up and grab his keys, settling into the driver's seat. I was more of the motorcycle kind but okay.

                              ×××

      "Ow. That hurts." Klaus winces, as I try cleaning up his wounds in my bathroom. I couldn't take him home looking like this. His father was a doctor and I'd managed to gain Elsie's affection and let's not get to how much of a bitch his mom actually was. They'd go insane over his appearance the second he stepped in.

       "Well...how about next time, you don't go about throwing punches, alright?" I feign a sympathetic voice, pressing on his next wound a little harsher this time.

        "Bloody!–"

     "Hell." I grimace, quietly ending his much louder cuss.

      "Am I supposed to apologize for getting annoyed over the fact that, that asshole kissed you?" He asks, not bothering to hide the annoyance in his tone.

       "I don't necessarily want an apology. It was and wasn't your fault." I shrug, putting away the small towel I had used in cleaning him up.

       "How could he just kiss you like that? His ass is lucky I didn't have my gun on me."

       I pause, lifting a brow at him. A breath of laughter escapes my lips. "You're joking, right?"

       He hisses out loud as he pulls down his sweatshirt, covering up the brusies which had been formed during the fight. His fascinatingly good looking abs were now covered in what I hoped not to be scars. He ignores my question as he limps into my room.

       "Klaus?! You're joking, right?"

    
                              ×××

      "You're going to the cabin tomorrow!" Shawn spills over in tears, the moment he approaches Klaus and I in school the next day.

       "What?" Klaus stares at him in surprise, obviously not prepared for that outburst. "Elsie told you, didn't she?"

        "She said you asked for the keys," Shawn sniffs. "How could you do this to me? What happened to the bro code?"

        "It's just going to be me and Raven, having you there is going to be like...a third wheel kind of..."

        "You're going too?!" He shrieks, making a wailing sound. "I'd bring Amy with, just let me come!"

        "Who's Amy?" Klaus and I ask simultaneously.

        "My girlfriend." Shawn pauses his dramatic wailing to inform us about this girlfriend of his.

       "Oh, so that's the name of that crush of yours. She's still coming here? Last time I saw her was in the library that day we met this Birdy." Klaus teases, ruffling my hair a little. I growl at the touch.

       "Wait, we met at the library?" I raise a brow. "I don't think I saw you until after detention when both you and Shawn were having some sort of mini party outside the school."

        "Nah! We definitely met at the library." Klaus bops his head.

       "Who cares where you met?! Can I come with Amy?" Shawn interrupts, putting on the best puppy dog eyes I'd ever see on any boy.

       "See? Third wheeling." Klaus tuts, referring to the interruption just now.

        "Of course you can come!" I roll my eyes, giving Shawn a wide grin. I watch him jump up in excitement before running down the hallway, squealing like some teenage girl.

       "What the hell was that?" Klaus jerks me backwards, pinning me against the rows of lockers. "Shawn is going to be so distracting."

       "He's coming with a girl."

     "I wanted it to be just us." His jaw tenses up as his hand bangs up against the locker behind me. I watch the pain in his eyes as he winces.

        "It can still be." I nod, pulling him in for a brief kiss before the first bell.

       "This is one of those situations I'm grateful for a term like...'kick 'em out'."

         "He's your best friend, you can't." A smile lingers around my lips at the thought of Shawn and his girlfriend out in the cold because they'd annoyed Klaus so badly.

      "Anything to have you all to myself." He smirks, giving me a little wink. Possessive much.
