heres the second chap.

Ch 2

Years past and Raven became a beautiful and powerful witch. With much more power than any other Power Witch. Raven grew her hair long and deep. Her gold eyes were soft and gentle, and her knowledge was outstanding. She was so good at her magic she outgrew her tutor.

Raven was confident about her Magyk. She had no clue about Leaguini, her real mom. She had always thought that Gianni was her mother, for she had always said so. She never looked at the facts, which were very odd. How could a Healer give birth to a Power. How much odder could the facts get?

But raven paid no attention to those facts. She was to busy getting ready for her Final Test. It was coming quick and she had to concentrate on it. The test was to make a Charm. One that actually worked.

Raven looked out her window, she was thinking about her test. She was looking at her Thinking Tree. It was the tallest tree in The Wood. There was something about it that just… grasped at her. Then all of a sudden a burst of thought entered her blessed mind.

She ran out of the nursery. Which was no longer a nursery, for she was no longer a baby. It was now her bedroom. She skidded to a stop at the hollow tree entrance. She banged three times on the door; the door swung open. She smiled gleefully and ran in. She slowed instantly for the potion bottles took over the passage way.

She stopped in the middle of the work room. No one was in sight. "Gianni?" she whispered to open air. Then she herd from somewhere in the next narrow passage way,

"Yes Raven?" the voice seemd far and distant. "I'm kind of busy at the moment."

"Oh. Sorry Gianni. I just wanted you to know I was going for a walk. I need to get a nice peaceful walk to concentrate on the test. And find something to write my Charm on."

"That would be great!" she now sounded excited. "I'll go get our cloaks!"

"Oh. I actually wanted to go alone but if you wanted to come." Raven didn't really like Gianni coming on her walks. Gianni sensed the tension and gave up.

"If you want to go alone that's fine too…." and with that Raven knew she had another victory.

"Hey want to hear a good funny rime?"

"Sure."

"It goes like this; Gianni, Gianni, your full of salami, so could you please make me a sandwich?"

"Ha! Ha! Next time just ask if I can make you a salami sandwich." and with that Gianni's voice vanished. Raven liked making up rime's. So where's the fun in asking? In a few minuets Raven was in her nice robes and was on the ground, sandwich and all. And before she could take one step. Gianni was by her side. "Do you remember the rules?"

"Yes. Number one; stay on the path. Number two; don't get near the Tall Tree." Gianni smiled and disappeared in the tree house. After a few minuets Raven looked back. Nobody was in sight- especially Gianni-. She tore of her robe. Her nice dark red mid-drift shirt clung closely to her chest. The matching red velvet mini skirt showed her nice smooth young legs.

She hung her robe on the same branch as usual. She took a deep breath and snapped her fingers twice. She landed on the spot she had left off on. She looked triumphantly at the grassy turf. She was much better off here then that stupid road. The birds where chirping mildly. She loved being by nature, it was as though she was connected to it.

The breeze was suddenly slow and quick. Raven stopped dead in her tracks. This was something that was like instinct in her. She knew Gianni would never understand this so she never told her. She slowly but quick like the wind she decently walked forward. The birds then suddenly stopped their singing.

Soon raven found her thinking tree. But the scenery wasn't like what she thought it would be. She thought it would be in a big grassy meadow with birds, deer and peace. But this place was all ashy and scary. Nothing even made a whispered here. She walked among the ashes her eyes now collecting tears.

She felt as if she had been here. Maybe in a dream or maybe real life. Walking deeper into the ashes, she saw things that were still standing among the silent place. Some books were floating in mid air, which was beginning to bother Raven, a nice good Sealed trap door was in a corner, and when she walked around she saw something irregular; a apple-wood baby crib.

Raven ran towards it as if it was something very dear to her. She smiled as if she found something she had lost. She touched the rim and then the inside, she hit something soft. It was a teddy bear. She picked it up. It all came back to her; the life she had before Gianni found her. Being born, everything. And all of that Gianni knew but never told her. When she opened her eyes to find she was crying.

She fell to the ground. She knew nobody, trusted nothing, she didn't even know herself. Her breathing was deep and quick. She looked above her. The sky was as dark as a black blanket but the moon gave just enough light to see around her.

Slowly she got up and walked to her thinking tree. It was dark and scary in front of her. But it was still her thinking tree. And it was final she was staying here. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She then opened them saying a Collect Spell;

Pack them up and send them here,

All the stuff in my room,

Fly here like a Enchanted broom."

She had no clue if it would work. She had had no need to study that part of the Magyk book for the test. The TEST! She had to take the test tomorrow. Raven began to think. If she went to go take the test Gianni would make her stay, but if she air mailed her test then maybe she had a chance…. It was decided then tomorrow she'd air mail her test.

Raven was cold without anything to warm her body. And she had left her fur robe on the branch. What she was wearing didn't help. She saw the items of her room coming but they were slow. It was midnight when they reached her camp. She cuddled a wool blanket. And thought some more. But she knew that it was not her fault this had happened. She sighed, she wanted to know everything about her past. But the only one who knew was Gianni. And she had told Raven the rules. And she had broken them.

Raven was at shame. She should of told Gianni. Then a thought came to her, if Gianni is not her mother then who is? The tears came bounding back. Gianni lied to her about everything. The tears ran away. A power came to her that she had never known. She screamed for this power hurt her dearly. It was like something stabbing at her heart various times. She threw back her head and shrieked.

What Raven forgot was that today was her 13th birthday. And she was born at 12:03. Which was exactly when she felt the power rush into her. And when she threw back her head and yelled a painful screech. A long line of power reached up to the Moon and a Magykcal essence filled the air. And those who have sought it now finally have what they have been looking for.
