A Black Envelope
Author's Note - I apologize if this story has characters (R+R) that become super OOC, but this is just my 2nd story. If you want a probably better one, check out "A Story Retold". It's another RobRae in the making. That one should be better. However, if you still want to read this one, carry on! :)
Raven's POV
Ding Dong!
The obnoxious doorbell woke me up again. Lately I've been sleeping really late and waking up just as late. I don't know why I've been so tired or stressed. I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.
"Mail call!" Beast Boy's annoying voice cut through the stark silence that I had just reestablished. "Hey Raven, you have an envelope. It doesn't have a return address so I don't know who it's from. No, I haven't opened it, so you can relax." Beast Boy slid the envelope under my door. I yawned and unwillingly got out of my bed, pushing away my dark silk sheets. Even though it was noon, my room was still pretty dark as usual. The doorway was only lit at the bottom from the light in the hallway. I got down and fumbled abound on the floor attempting to find the letter. The black envelope blended in well with my dark carpet. I picked it up and turned on a nearby lamp. There was nothing on the front of the envelope except my name written in silver cursive. I opened it, not knowing what to expect.
Raven,
Are you missing a dark secret? Something you've kept locked away in a white chest under your bed? If you would like, you may come and retrieve it.
Signed,
S
I reread the words on the fine paper in my alabaster hands, much more frantically this time.
No, no, no! It can't possibly be! He couldn't have gotten his filthy hands on my book. If he really has it, he would have had to be in my room! If I get it back, he's going to be a dead man.
As I thought this, the lamp I had turned on flickered and turned off, a result of my emotions surging, leaving the incriminating letter and myself in the dark.
