Refined vamp!Haven headcanon. Raven and Clark are the two oldest members of the clan. Neither talk very much about their past, but Raven when he gets very serious can tend to talk a bit like he's reading old prose from the 1700s. The two met on and off for a while, and were always on good terms. Raven sired Corey, and Clark sired Sinclair. Sinclair was dying at the time and begging Clark to make the change. Around this time the four boys started hanging out a bit more, since Raven adored Sinclair (and wanted to keep him). Since Clark was accustomed to moving on his own, Sinclair eventually left him to follow Raven and Corey. Again, they all stayed on good terms, but a lack of communication led Sinclair to think Clark didn't want him around.

Raven, Corey and Sinclair found Michael after he collapsed at the bar. This story is fairly similar to the canon version, only this time Michael died. Raven prompted Corey to change Michael so they could keep him as well. When Clark heard that another addition had been made to the clan, he came to inspect as well. A few harsh words were exchanged between Raven and Clark, mainly because Clark was under the impression that Michael hadn't been given a choice in the matter. After all, the boys basically did kidnap him from the hospital, not allowing Michael alert his family or friends.

Everything ended out for the better though. They reconciled, and Clark even had a heart-to-heart with Sinclair, assuring him that he would have brought him to the ends of the earth with him. He didn't want to be Sin's *sire* though, but his equal.

In the end, Clark decided to stick around for a while. A bit because he felt bad for leaving Sinclair for so long, and also to help take care of Michael, who was still very panicked and distraught. Mostly though, he simply enjoyed the feeling of *belonging*. After this, the five started a band and it all went on from there.
