Hello Neighbor: Welcome To Raven Brooks Trinity Novels & Stories

Raven grumbled, hoping for a quiet morning before heading to work since she had an eleven o’clock class that morning at the University. Approaching the door with caution, Raven hesitated before calling out, “Who’s there?” After the previous night's events, she couldn't be too careful. “Open the damn door, Raven!” her friend Katherine barked from the other side. Raven breathed a sigh of relief as she opened the door to greet her friend. Katherine was the only friend Raven had made since moving to Avalon city and working at the university, where Katherine worked in a different department. Despite the tumultuous week, having Katherine around had made the adjustment period easier.

They didn't sleep around or act crazy. When the neighbors found out what happened to me, they rallied together and organized a fundraiser for me. I didn't have to work three jobs anymore. I slowly learned that real safety didn't come from guns or locked doors. It came from people looking out for each other. In the new neighborhood, Draven made a lot of good friends. He grew brighter and more cheerful every day. The smile came back to his face. As he got better, so did I. What Rina did to us became a wake-up call, a reminder to always hold onto your values and not throw yourself into relationships with just anyone.

She declared her words made her breathless. Albert lowered his gaze, ”I know you are mad and won’t listen to my explanations and reasons, but let’s set aside everything. Let’s call it a truce, as you may. But I am deeply concerned about you. Someone attacked you and I want to know who and why?” He roared. Latton closed her eyes and held her forehead, which was now bandaged. “I have no idea. All I know is his name was Hank and I met him in the park, then he became my neighbor.” She explains.

Might as well answer it in case it was one of the boys. As I reach the front door, I open it just a bit to see a girl with dark black hair and a white flowy dress on. "Ah, hello." I greet, unsure who the person was. "Hi, I'm Raven. I'm here to see my brother, Ryker." she tells me sweetly. "Oh, I'm sorry. He isn't here right now, did you want to come in and wait?" I ask softly and she nods her. "That's perfect, thank you." she replies.

That evening, I moved into an empty apartment downstairs. After setting up my phone, I eagerly opened the surveillance app. Danny wobbled across the hall like an excited child. He began doodling on their door while knocking rhythmically. The door creaked open, but before it fully swung out, a voice came first. “Finally bringing the money? Took you long enough!” Just as soon as he finished saying that, the door swung wide open. A few large globs of some unidentifiable black goo splattered across Gregg’s face.

The message came at midnight. Raven was alone in Jaxon’s penthouse, curled on the velvet settee in nothing but his discarded button-up shirt. The fire had long since died in the hearth, the city beyond the windows glittering with indifferent light. Her phone buzzed once, no name, just a number she didn’t recognize. She hesitated, thumb hovering over the screen. Then she tapped it. A single line of text appeared: We need to talk. Now. Don’t make me come find you.

~TESSA~ The clubhouse was quiet. Too quiet. Most of the guys had gone out on a charity run Ryder had organized — miles of asphalt and noise, leather and engines fading into the horizon. The whole place felt hollow without the constant hum of bikes or Duke’s voice echoing from the kitchen. I was curled on the couch, hair pulled into a loose bun, a paperback open on my lap. I’d just started to feel… peaceful. Then Raven walked in. Her heels clicked against the wood floors like tiny threats. Her perfume filled the air — something heavy and floral, the kind of scent that lingered even after the person was gone.

Courtney looked uncomfortable with the idea, "I'd have to call her first before I just gave out her information." Jade pulled into the parking space and stared at the old building, observing the dingy siding that had been painted beige a long time ago. It was no wonder Jessica had been quick to move into Jonathon's apartment. Opening up to the parking lot were small slabs of cement that she guessed passed off as patios. Most of them held seating arrangements that consisted of cheap plastic chairs and a table to hold an ashtray or numerous children's toys that were scattered out into the snow. They were so close to one another that Jade imagined you'd be able to hear every conversation your n

The smile that graces her lips makes my heart skip a beat. Maybe I am starting to like my beautiful neighbor. *************************************************************** After having dinner with my father, I have just entered the home, and I have not even turned on the lights when I hear a loud groaning sound coming from outside. Peeking my head outside the door, I watch Ariana carrying shopping bags in both of her hands with an annoyed expression on her face. Quickly, stepping outside, I take bags from her hand. Instead of going to her place, she stomps inside my apartment, leaving me to follow her.

“No.“ She said very low, embarrassed. “I will find a cheap motel to stay in for the night.“ She added, thankful she met Raven. She was glad for her help. “You are an absolute sweetheart, Selena. I would be more than happy to have you stay at my place for the night, and wish you good luck by tomorrow morning in finding your lover.“ Lena couldn't believe her ears. Though they just met, she had this level of trust in her already. Her warm nature was enthralling. She made a friend, maybe the real world might not be as threatening as she was introduced to. Lena waited slightly till the door of the apartment Raven lived in yielded to the keys. The dyed-haired woman pushed the door open, revealing
