Chapter 1: The Stranger with a Cunning Smile
Raven was looking in a crystal river, her reflection stared back at her. This assured her what she looked like every morning. Her hair appeared to be long and dark, waist length and black to exact. All on her body was dark skin, not black, but dark tan. Her light green eyes sat below deeply arched eyebrows, also a dark color, giving her the appearance of an always angry individual. Though she was almost always angry and alone these days.
Ever since her and her ex-boyfriend ,Seifer, broke up everything went down hill. No, it wasn't that she missed him, Raven, hated Seifer's guts. He was a lowlife, despite the fact that he thought he was better than everybody. It was just now that she was a town reject. Twilight Town reject to be exact if she wanted to be even more exact.
"I tried to tell them that it wasn't me, it was him that made me do it. But they wouldn't listen." she mumbled looking away from the river and to the trees. The tree rustled she heard it. But there wasn't any wind and she would have heard chattering if it were squirrels. Raven just mumbled something else then went back to freashing up in the river. She then gathered water in her hands and began to sip it like a raccoon.
"rustle rustle" said the tree moving. This time Raven jumped up, revealing that she had long legs and an average body shape. "I know that someone is there." she told the woods. There was no reply.
"All right Heyner, what do you want?" she said thinking that it was the blonde haired trickster whom enjoyed calling her names more than Seifer did. Finally a voice spoke up but, it wasn't one Raven had heard before. The voice said;
"What, I'm not Heyner."
"Oh really then who are you, hurry up and show yourself." Raven answered.
"I will as soon as I get this trench coat unstuck."
Raven cocked her eyebrows up "Trench coat?"
"Yah, it's dress code, but, Ha got it." then the stranger appeared.
His hair was red, well flame red and in large spikes, kind of like a large fire. He looked tall and skinny with very fair and light skin. Also just as he said he was wearing a black zip up trench coat. "But what was it dress code for?" she thought.
"So, you're the girl everyone has been talking about." he said,
"What are you talking about?" Raven asked.
"Oh, well I'll tell you everything when we get there." the stranger replied smiling. Raven looked at the red headed stranger as he smiled and for some reason inside of her melted, which made her shiver. Not a shiver of cold or eeriness, no, something else. His smile was a little crooked but, for some reason Raven saw it as perfect.
Raven shook her head, as if to snap out of a bad dream. Then she turned her back.
"What?" the stranger asked.
"Nothing and no." Raven replied.
"Wha, what do you mean no?" he asked.
"No, I'm not coming with you." Raven replied crossing her arms.
"Oh, well that really stinks because I can't take no for an answer."
"Well, then I guess your just going to have to learn how to." Raven answered back.
"You drive a hard bargain." he replied.
"Do I, Well I'll have you know that I don't make agreements with strangers."
she answered starting to walk away.
"Ok, what do you classify as a stranger." the stranger asked following her. Raven whipped around to face him.
"First of all I don't know your name." Raven told him.
"It's Axel, got it memorized?" he said.
"Axel, what kind of name is that?"
"Well, what kind of name is Raven?" he asked raising his eyebrows.
"How do you?"
"Another confidential thing." he finished for her. Raven just looked in his eyes, they were a type of turquoise color. "A beautiful color." she told herself. Then she mentally slapped herself, it was thoughts like that which got her into this situation. So Raven averted her eyes to just below his were two black upside down triangles sat.
"So you come from a secrete organization?" Raven asked.
"Yah, it's secrete to you anyways."
"Why?"
"Orders."
"From who?"
"My boss."
"Who is."
"A secrete."
Raven rolled her eyes and began to walk away again. Axel stood there then said "All right that's it I'm going to take you by force, No more Mr. Nice guy. He said pulling out his uniquely shaped weapons. Raven didn't even look back and kept walking. Axel ran forward and right when he almost knocked Raven upside the head. She turned around and used an invisible force to knock Axel back where he started.
"Whoa, this is what they want her." he mumbled to himself. Raven just smiled realizing that it was the first time in a long while that she smiled.
"Fine, I'll leave" then the red headed stranger opened a swirling vortex of darkness with a single motion of his hand and walked into it. The vortex closing behind him.
"Bye Bye." she told him. But as she said it a small part of her wanted Axel to stay.
Yah okay so I had to redo Chapter 1. It all stayed the same but I rearrangged the story line. So it kind of makes you want to read it more, Also he shows more love at first sight connection with Raven. Also I know what Axel's weapons are called, But it's Raven's first time seeing them, she dosen't know what they are called yet. That's just there for those who don't understand that it's from Raven's point of veiw only.
