The Raven's song
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Angel, Joss Whendon does sadly. I also don't own the song "Concrete Angel" Martina Mcbride and whoever wrote the song does. I'm going to pretend that one of my characters wrote it though they really didn't. I do own Kim/Raven, the plot of the story, and any other characters that I made up in here. Also, Conner has just begun to live with Angel again, after he was kicked out, and Cordelia has her memory back and she's back from the higher plane, but she's not evil and the whole baby thing never happened. Ok now, lol I should get to the story now, oh and please review! Please! Thank you!
A.I. sat around the lobby, some staring off into space, others reading or looking around, to put things bluntly, they were bored. Cordelia hadn't had any visions latly, and calls, well they were scarce. Conner was upstairs, like usual. Cordelia was doing her nails, Wesley was, well you know what he was doing, research for no apparent reason. Gunn and Fred had gone out for the day. Angel was "reading" the newspaper, but really he was brooding (nothing new, lol). Cordelia twisted the cap back on her nail polish and stood up. She walked towards her desk, opened the drawerand put her nail polish in it. As she closed it, she all of a sudden gasped, and closed her eyes. Imeddiatly Angel stood up and looked at Cordelia. "Vision?"
She opened her eyes and inhaled.
"Yeah, um it's a young girl, she looks about fourteen, whew that was a hard age not to hard but ya kno-"
"Cordy the vision." Angel said.
"Oh yeah sorry, anyway um she's at a club, it's called Moonlight Cafe, her names Kim I got that part, she has dark hair, and she's in danger, that's all I got."
Angel nodded and turned to leave, he walked over to the weapons cabinet, and pulled out a couple of stakes and a few other choice things. As he grabbed his duster, Cordelia said
"Angel wait, Kims the name she goes by, but her real name is Raven, don't know why I got that but it must be important, and don't you want us to go with you?" Angel turned around and looked at Cordelia.
"Thanks for the info Cordy, but I wanna do this one on my own, if I need help I'll call, okay I'll be back soon."
With that, Angel went out the door, and headed for Moonlight Cafe.
A young girl stood on the stage of the Moonlight Cafe, trying to work up the courage to sing. A thousand thoughts ran through her head, and one of them was butterflys, she was nervous. There were about twenty people sitting at tables in the small cafe, and to her there were twenty to many. She looked to the side of the stage where her best friend Jake stood. He smiled a wide smile at her and gave her a thumbs up. She returned the smile and tuned back to the crowd. She inhaled and began to speak into the microphone.
"Hello everyone, good evening thank you for coming, um, well I'm going to be singing for you tonight, it's a special song that I wrote for my younger sister, and even though she's no longer here, I know she wouldn't mind if you guys wanted to dance or whatever, It's called Concrete Angel, my sister used to call me that, so I thought well ya know, anyway I'm gonna sing now."
So, Kim began to sing, her voice filling the room, meloudous, and haunting.
Angel opened the door to the Moonlight Cafe, and stood in front of the door looking around the room for the young girl, then he took notice to the music, and looked onto the stage, where a young girl with light skin, and long dark hair, was singing a rather bittersweet song.
"Concrete Angel, She walks to school with a lunch she packs, nobody knows what she's holding back. Wearing the same dress she wore yesterday, she hides the bruises within linen and lace, oh, the teacher wonders but she doesn't ask, it's hard to see the pain behind the mask. Bearing the burden of a secret storm, sometimes she wishes she was never born.
Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world she can't rise above, but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved, Concrete Angel.
Somebody cries in the middle of the night, the neighbors hear but they turn out the light, a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate, when morning comes it will be to late.
Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone in a world she can't rise above, but her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she's loved, Concrete Angel.
A statue stands in a shaded place, as angel girl with an upturned face, her name is written on a polished rock, a broken heart that the world forgot.
Through the wind and the rain, she stands hard as a stone in a world she can't rise above, but her dreams give her wings, and she flies to a place where she's loved,
Concrete Angel.
As Kim finished the song, the music the band played slowly faded away, and the couples that were slow dancing, slowly made there way back to their talbles, Kim looked around at the dimmed room, and smiled weakly.
Still standing near the door, Angel knew he had found the girl.
So, how was it? Please read and review! Oh and I promise, the story will develop more and stuff in the coming chapters! :)
