Rain on me

I'm running ... running far, far away... running away from you. The rain drops hit my face and run down my cheeks, leaving mascara streaks as it goes... or was that a tear? Am I really crying over you? No. I can't be for I swore to your face that it was over... that I no longer held feelings for you. My feet pound against the mud and it splashes up onto my robes. I'm almost there you know? Soon I'll be gone forever and you probably won't even realize... or will you? Will you look for me? I shake these thoughts from my head as I near the forest. My legs ache and my heart is beating out of my chest. I feel like the lamb next in line for slaughter. I have to escape from this nightmare you have woken. I have to run. Why did you do it? Why answer questions nobody asked? Why did you tell me? I was happier in the bliss of ignorance and yet you showed me. I am no longer happy for the nightmare haunts my world, even when I am awake I am dreaming and it scares me. It seems as if I'll dream forever but not like this... not here and not with you. You abandoned me, left me to cry there as everyone teased and taunted me, they hurt me you know... they threw words as if they were daggers of steel and some of them even threw rocks. You did nothing and at one point, I think you joined them. Your scorn has left me empty for now there is only a few decent folk I can trust. My father comes into sight and I try to smile. He catches me in his embrace and now I do cry... but not for you. He looks me in the eyes and I can quite clearly tell that my decision is not in his favour.

"Are you sure?" he asks me but I have no words so instead I just smile weakly and nod my head. He leans down and kisses my forehead, making me wish I could simply forget and stay with him but alas, I must continue onwards. We link arms and he escorts me to the waiting Sirus and his trusty ride, Buckbeak.

Tears continue to poor down my face and eventually my father's eyes tear. He nods towards his childhood friend.

"Sirus"

"Remus"

My father lifts me up onto the Griffin's back but I wish to jump off and back into his arms. My common sense keeps me still where I sit.

"I'll miss you Raven" my father tells me and I feel ready to burst out with tears but I just nod in acknowledgment. Sirus looks at me, moved by the mixed emotions in the night air.

"Are you ready Raven?"Sirus asks.

I find this a stupid question. I will never be ready, not in a thousand years but I nod and he climbs on in front of me.

"Goodbye..." my father farewells us and we take off into the storm. The rain still falls and we are all soaked in and out. We don't notice and if we do, we simply don't care. A single tear falls from my eyes and back to my grieving father's cheek.

"Goodbye" I cry out as we climb higher into the sky.

My father waves us off from below and I realize I have lost him forever. Just to make myself unmistakably clear... I blame you.
