The wind whistled violently through the trees as they were knocked back and forth, as the gale of wind swept the small house. The rain thundered down , but was unheard as the thunder drummed ever louder. The small girl with black hair that matched her name, sat in the window sill staring off into the dark stormy night. She always found it comforting to listen to the rain and look into the dark stormy nights, it made it seem as if the night had more problems then the watcher. She was thinking of the school day today. The phone rang knocking her from her thoughts. She jumped out of her seat running down the hallway to get into the phone in time. If it was her mother and she didn't answer, she would be in big trouble later.
"Hello?" she said picking up the phone.
"Raven?" came the steely voice of her mother.
"Yes mother, it is me." She answered obediently.
"I was just calling to check up on you." Her mother informed her.
"I see. How is the campaigning going?" Raven asked hoping her mother wouldn't go into another rant.
"Well it is storming here so some didn't show up." Her mother said as if a bad taste was in her mouth.
"Does that mean you are coming home?" She asked not knowing whether that was a good or bad thing.
"No, Someone has to protest against these vile demons." Her mother said her voice turning nasty.
"Oh." She said.
"Well I must go now Raven, I will call again later." With those words her mother hung up the phone.
She went back upstairs and wrapped herself in her blankets. It was cold and she was alone in a house during a storm. She was a little afraid. Not that she would ever say this to her mother. Her Mother would only laugh. She started crying as she thought of the school days events and the horrible thing that had happened to her friend. Now she would never see her only friend again. She was picked on in school and Michelle was her only friend. Now she had no friends. Her stomach growled, she tried to ignore it but finally gave up and left her warm blankets to go to the kitchen.
She warmed up the left overs her Mother had packaged for her to eat while they were away. She figured that she should be used to this since she was now twelve and her parents were always off campaining against mutants. She was sure glad she wasn't a mutant.
She shoved the leftovers on the microwave and got a fork.
BING
The food was done. As she sat down the lights flickered off and then on and then off again.
"Great." She said aloud. She went and got the candles and matches. As she walked she wondered why she was so different from her parents. Her parents had always taught her to hate and scorn the genetic freaks. She preferred mutants, but her parents insisted upon that name. After twelve years of having that drilled in her head she still didn't hate mutants. She would rather die then tell her parents this, but still it was the truth.
After digging the candles out of the closet and the matches out of the kitchen draw, she finally ate her meal. It wasn't very filling, but it was all she could do since she was a lousy cook. She went back to her room and snuggled up in her blankets. It was cold, and she tried getting asleep, but the loud voice in the back of her head told her that she was dreading tomorrow too much to get any sleep.
