I dreamed I was missing...

Through the static of the radio, a hopeful family listened for news on the where-abouts of thier beloved Raven. "Today marks the third day of the search for Raven Callahan. Still no trace of the young witch has been found. In other-" The news was abruptly shut off by Fred, the young girl's boyfriend. He stormed out of the house tears of fear and anger streaming down his face.

You were so scared, but no one would listen. Nobody cared...

"George she's out there some where! She's gotta be scared, and starving!" George slammed Fred into a wall by his shirt collar. "Goddamn it Fred! Raven is DEAD. It's been over half a year! She's not coming back, get over her and move on." Slowly he released his brother and turned to walk away. "You're wrong George. My Raven is still alive, I can feel it. Shes out there some where. I know it." George just scoffed and walked from the room.

It had been a year and a half, Fred slowly began to eat less and less. All Fred ever did was sit in the chair infront of his bedroom window and watch for her. He could feel her calling for him, but he just couldn't get to her. It drove him insane.

One day as he was looking out the window, he saw a dainty form stumbling up the road to the house. As it drew closer he began to see familiar features. The raven black hair, the pale skin, and when she looked up, her beautiful violet eyes. He stood so fast that his chair toppled over backwards. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him down the staires and out the door. He felt like he was flying. "Raven!" He cried out as he got closer, she looked at him and tears began to fall like rain as she ran as fast as her weak legs could take her. He took her into his arms and kissed her like there was no tomorrow, she returned it. But of course, for them there would always be a tomorrow and a day after.

Bellatrix had taken her while she was out shopping for the family. She was tortured without mercy, and starved for weeks at a time. The Dark Lord payed her a visit at one time as well, just enough to place the Cruiatus curse on her for a time, just to watch her squirm and hear the screams. Victoria had found her in the basement of Malfoy Manor and took pity on the girl. She loosened Raven's bonds and left the door open for her. Helping her escape. Raven owned Victoria her life, but wouldn't let that fact be known until after the Dark Lord was dead.
