THE CROW R
BEYOND VENGEANCE PART ONE
BY STORMCROW HIGHMOON
CHAPTER ONE:
The snow had been falling all night, now it glittered in the early morning sunlight. Under a mound of snow lay the dead naked body of a sixteen year old girl.
A large oak tree spread it's branches over the body. A large crow landed on one of the lower branches.
"CAW!" the crow called out and a a peal of thunder shook the sky.
Under the snow the girls eyes opened. Panic assailed her as she fought her way to the surface, breaking through she pulled herself free. Then she collapsed onto her back screaming like a lost soul.
"CAW!" called the crow again.
The girl raised her eyes to the bird. Hypnotized, she watched it spread it's wings and glide to a branch above another mound of snow.
Holding her arms tightly to her she walked shivering over to the mound of snow the crow watched over.
"Amber," the girl whispered. "My name is Amber."
She started to dig thru the snow, slowly at first then with more urgency. She kept digging until she uncovered the body if another girl.
"No." she cried. "Jenn."
That's when they hit her, the last moments of her life. She screamed as the memories tore through her mind, body and soul. She remembered how she and Jenn had been attacked, raped and beaten until death
Mercifully took them. Rage took her then.
"NO!" She screamed. "DAMNIT! NO!"
"CAW!" Cried the crow.
Amber looked up at the bird and another peal of thunder shook the sky.
"I know," Amber said softly. "I know know why I've been brought back. I know what I have to do." she stood up. "I must find the ones who did this to us, I must find them and make them pay."
The crow cawed to her and took flight. She ran following the bird. The crow lead her to an old house deep in the woods.
She knocked but there was no answer. She tried the door and found it to be unlocked. Pushing the door open she entered the house. It was empty except for a dresser and mirror with what looked like makeup on it and a closed wardrobe.
The crow landed on the mirror and called to her. she walked over to the dresser and looked at the bird, then down at the makeup.
She opened a container and found white base makeup. She spread it on untile her face was a white mask.
She then took a tube of black lipstick and starting at her forehead drew a line down to her left eye and continued down to her cheek. She did the same thing to the other eye. tshe did her lips and drew a line from the corners of her mouth across each cheek. Her face looked like a clown.
The crow then flew over to the wardrobe and called to her again.
She opened the doors and found it full of black clothes. She slipped on a skintight long sleeved black top, then a pair of black jeans, black boots, and finally a black leather longcoat.
With the crow on her shoulder she left the house. The crow took flight and went around the back of the house. Behind there amber found an old road leading back to the city and a vintage Harley Davidson motorcycle.
She mounted the Harely and turned on the ignition, Kicked the starter and the motor roared to life. The crow cawed and flew down the road. She followed.
Black vengeance on wheels followimg a black crow of doom.
