Author's note: So its been a while since I've used this site and I'm trying to get use to how to update the chapters and whatnot. Give me some time and I should be more efficient on updating my chapters. This is my second week of school and I'm super excited! I know I'm such a nerd but last semester went horrible. No joke. So I'm trying to make this semester better, and so far so good!
So! I'm going to try and update every week and a half to two week. Hopefully that will give me enough time to write the story and edit it because I like the longer chapters and I hope you guys do too. Enjoy this the chapter!
Kori's POV
After being in the hospital for a few days resting and getting my strength back, I was anxious to get back out into the real world. Detectives Skully and Matilda has been a huge help. I mean obviously they're doing their jobs but they have truly gone above and beyond to help me adapt and feel like a normal person again, not a sex slave, an object. They had already given me my first present from them, a cute little smartphone with a pink space case, to help me fit in at the new foster home. So this is one of the things I missed while I was "away". Huh this is actually pretty cool. They were just coming out with these but no one really had one, especially at my age; the ripe old age of 13. I had been messing around on it, trying to figure the thing out. Mat has helped me a lot and explained what a "selfie" is and some popular apps the teens are using these days. Apparently everyone had one of these things and people are glued to them, that made me laugh.
Mat and Skully came into my room with the doctor while I was asleep.
"Kori is times to wake up and start your new life." Skully said while shaking my good shoulder slightly. I wearily opened my eyes and slowly sat up.
"According to your charts here Kori you are well enough to be discharged. I hope for the very best for you honey and not to see you here anytime soon after our follow up appointment in 2 weeks." Dr. Rushoff said with a wink. I smiled slightly back at her. Yeah I hope I don't end up back here anytime soon either.
"I already have everything written down for you as for future appointments and follow up with your right arm there and Detective Skully has the information and your medications. Good luck in the new home, have a great day you guys." Dr. Rushoff left after that.
"You ready kiddo? It's time to join the real world." Mat said with a chuckled. I nodded eagerly and went to change in the bathroom with the clothes Mat and Skully bought for me. I stopped mid way through changing and stared at myself in the mirror. I almost didn't recognize myself. My hair was dull looking and so short. It stopped right on top of my shoulders. They cut most of my hair off because it was so dreadlocked and filthy. My eyes finally had a little life in them, they seemed to get a bit brighter green as the days go on and my hoped is restored very very slowly. I was completely skin and bones; bones protruding under my slightly tanned skin. Even with eating and staying hydrated at the hospital it wasn't enough to make a dent in my appearance. Scars, burn marks and bruises covered my body. I guess this is something I'll have to get used too. Things don't change overnight. It'll be a while before I'm my old self again, pre-abused Kori. Maybe I won't exactly be who I used to be, too much has happened but just to be a normal teen now. I'm finally out of hell. A tear slipped from my eye and I wiped it away, and finished putting my new clothes on. They were baggy because I was so tiny, but I like that. It made me feel safe and no one could stare at my body anymore. I wore a soft long sleeve teal "Jump City Sharks" hockey shirt, baggie light blue jeans, and black converse. I slipped out of the bathroom and Skully wheeled me out of the hospital while Mat carried the rest of my stuff in a purple space backpack they also got me to match my phone case. The sun blinded me when we got outside, and I closed my eyes tightly. Having been stuck in a cell below ground with very little light, and then being in a hospital with florescent lights, the sun was almost unbearable. I was guided into a car and off the three of us went to my new home.
Skully's POV
I was driving on the highway from the hospital toward Titans Home for Wayward Teens, Mat was looking at some paper work on other cases, and Kori was asleep in the back. My mind wandered while I drove and I thought about Kori's future. She's tough as nails that girl is. She managed to survive three years in that hellhole. That was one of the worst places I've been to rescue people from. It's a miracle that she's alive, let alone able to converse with people and trust them somewhat. When looking at the foster home I was happy to see there were other teens there her age. Hopefully she can make some new friends and they can help her figure out the world.
After about half an hour of driving we were close to the foster home. I turned to Matilda.
"We should wake Kori up, we're almost there." She looked up from her paper work and started shuffling her papers.
"Kori honey we're almost there, its time to wake up." Mat reached to shake Kori's should slightly. Kori stirred slightly in her slumber and woke up slowly. She rubbed her eyes and peered out the back window at the foster home. The place looked like a regular house, maybe more of a frat house. You know the ones that look like a regular house on the outside but inside there are a bunch of extra rooms (bedrooms mainly) that you wouldn't think would originally fit in there but the layout makes sense. Kori looked up in awe at the house. Kids yelling and laughing could be heard through the open windows. I looked over at Kori to make sure she was okay and noticed she was cringing a bit at the loud noise. I couldn't imagine what the inside of the place is going to sound like. It's going to be deafening sometimes.
"Don't worry Kori everything will be fine. You're on your way to a new life; it'll only get better from here. They can really help you in there and you can learn how to be normal and how the world works today." I gave her a tiny push forward toward the door while Mat grabbed her backpack from the trunk. This'll be good for her, I just know it. I thought to myself, smiling at that thought, I walked up the steps behind Kori and followed her inside.
Kori's POV
I slowly walked into the house, nervous of what was going to be in there. I know Skully and Mat are right behind me and would never let anything bad happen to me, but this will be my first time around people my own age, which I don't know or trust. Of course I'm nervous! I looked around the house nervously looking for an adult. The kids running around the living room had stopped and were now staring at us.
"Who's this? Is she the new girl? Why are her clothes so baggy? Why-" The kid was stopped when a women entered the room.
"Jimmy why don't you be nice to our guest and stop asking so many questions right off the bat. Remember when you first came here and how nervous you were especially when you thought the other kids would make fun of your arm? Put yourself in her shoes and go greet her like a gentlemen and apologize please." The women gave Jimmy a tiny push forward and he approached me shyly.
"I'm sorry for asking you so many questions when you came in. I was really scared when I first came here too but Ms. Rita and the other kids made me feel welcomed and loved when my mommy and daddy didn't." Jimmy looked up at me, and his eyes got this spark in them. "Hey! Why don't you come play with me later, just like the other kids did for me when I first came here? That really helped me like this place. Can I also maybe sign your cast later? I can show you my super duper secret spot I found when I first came here, it's got candy in it." Jimmy whispered the last part. I giggled and nodded my head yes. Jimmy got really excited and ran away laughing with joy. I smiled at the sight and noticed Ms. Rita, whom I assumed was the women in charge here, smiled at Jimmy too. Ms. Rita turned toward me and the FBI agents after Jimmy's laughter could be heard no more.
"Hello I'm Rita Farr Dayton. Everyone here calls me Ms. Rita and that little rascal was Jimmy. He came here a little over a year ago from an abusive home. High-energy kid that one is. Nothing stops him, not even his prosthetic arm. He's truly grown here." Rita had a sparkle in her eye and I noticed how beautiful she is. She had shoulder length dark brown hair, chocolate brown eyes and sun kissed skin. "You must be Kori Anders, my new girl. It's very nice to meet such a beautiful young lady." I blushed at her comment and shook her hand weakly. Rita looked up at the detectives. "Hello detectives, I'm Rita and I'm in charge of this facility."
"I'm Detective Skully and this is my partner Detective Matilda, we were the ones to rescue Kori and have temporary guardianship over her. Obviously she can't stay with us and we know this place can really help her. Here is her case file and our numbers if anything happens to her, we would like to know right away, day or night doesn't matter to us." Skully spoke easily and it hit me that they were going to leave me. I was going to be alone with a bunch of people who I did not know and trust. I took a deep breath to center myself. I looked up to Mat, fear in my eyes.
"Oh honey it'll be okay, you'll do great here and Rita helps a lot of kids with troubled pasts." Mat gave me a big hug, which I tensed up at first and then relaxed. I'm still not use to the whole hugging, touching thing. She handed me my bag and phone. "Skully and I will be a phone call away, if anything happens, or you get really scared, I want you to call one of us right away. Go and talk with Rita too, she can help calm you also. I know it's going to take some time for you to warm up to here but I want you to try please. We won't be here 24/7 to see you but you can always text one of us. We'll come check on you in about 2 weeks. We'll be there at the doctor appointment when you get your cast off." With that Mat gave me another hug and so did Skully. I waved to them as they walked out of the doors.
"They're good detectives and good people. I've always liked them." Rita said standing right next to me, making me jump. Rita smiled at me. "Why don't I show you to your room and introduce you to everyone else in the house. How does that sound?" I nodded yes. "Great let's go then!" Rita guided me up the stairs and took me to the third door on the left.
"Now you are going to have a roommate. Her name is Rachel Roth. She came here a few months ago and does not take kindly to anyone in her room." Rita saw the fear in my eyes and continued quickly. "But I already talked with her ahead of time and she has made some space for you. I would have done something differently if I could but this was the last room left in the girl's side. Just don't touch her stuff, respect her space and she'll leave you alone. I'm hoping that this will actually help the both of you. Raven came from a very abusive household and does not take well to strangers. I have a group activity planned tomorrow that will help break the ice, so to speak. That'll help introduce you to everyone in the house and hopefully open you up a bit more to people. Do you understand Kori?" Rita asked looking at me expectedly.
"S-sure I guess that'll help me. T-thank you again for h-helping me" I squeaked nervously.
"Alright I'll leave you to unpack. Would you like me to send up Rachel to help? I feel like it would be better for you to interact with someone your own age."
"S-sure, thank y-you again Ms. Rita." Rita smiled widely at me and went to fetch Rachel. I looked around my new room. Well our room I should say. Rachel's side had the same dark stained furniture that I had. Each side had a bed, dresser, desk and giant bookcase with white painted walls. Rachel had dark blue covers with black sheets and a stuffed black bird sitting up by her pillows. On her walls she had poems and artwork hanging up. Her bookcase was crammed with books and I noticed piles of books on her floor and dresser too. This girl seems interesting. Her side of the room seems dark but not scary dark. She seems to like dark spooky stuff, it reminds me a bit of Halloween. I wish Ms. Rita didn't leave me but she is right, I need to spend time with people my own age. I was slightly panicking to myself, trying to calm myself down that I didn't hear my door open.
"So you're my new roommate, lovely." A monotone sarcastic voice could be heard from behind me. I jumped and looked over to my new roommate. She had a black bob cut and was scary pale. She reminds me of a vampire. I hope that she isn't actually a vampire. I don't think I could handle that right now.
Rachel's POV
Great! Just freaking great! I get a new roommate after I specifically told Ms. Rita I do NOT do well with people and she brings in this Barbie-looking princess person. I CANNOT handle this. THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR! I tried taking deep calming breathes like my therapist taught me. Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath metrion ziiinnnntttthhhooossss…I picked up my head and opened my door. My first sight is that all of my stuff has not been touched. Well good thing to know she isn't a snoop. Wonder how she got that cast but its not un-common for someone to came in this house with a cast. This is a foster home after all.
"So you're my new roommate, lovely." I spoke in my most bored sarcastic voice I could muster after I opened my door. She jumped and turned towards me, staring at me apprehensively.
"What's wrong princess, cat got your tongue?" I sneered at her. She stared at me obviously confused at my words. Jeez what is wrong with this chick?
"I do not understand. There is no cat that has my tongue. That would be weird to have a cat hanging out of my mouth." She spoke softly; I could barely hear her even though I was standing in the room with her. Once it registered what she said. I snorted a bit and a chuckled escaped from me. I slapped a hand over my mouth shocked at what I had just done. She stared scared at me when she saw my hand move. Oh shit she's one of those girls. Note to self: be cautious of what I do with my hands and no quick movement. Impressive though, I hadn't laughed since I was a little kid. Maybe she won't be so bad, but I still don't trust her. That'll take some time, but my therapist is going to love that I have a roommate now. Bet she'll make me open up and talk about my feelings with her and other typical teenage stuff. Ugh. Hate my life. I thought sourly but knew that since I was going to be living with this girl from now on I better be somewhat nice, if not tolerable of this new chick. I do remember what it was like being the new girl coming into this place.
"Well my name is Rachel Roth. I will ask that you please do not touch my stuff, go through my things without permission, even breathe in my area. I will do the same for you if you do that for me. Please" Adding the please as my therapist reminded me to be nice to people and they're more likely to be nice to me.
"I-I can do that. I will not go through your things, or breathe on your side of the room. If I comply to these rules you will do the same for me." She said back robotically. I stared at her wondering if this chick was for real. She all of a sudden got this blank look in her eye when she spoke back to me. Ugh! Why must I be nice internally?
"D-do you need any help unpacking Kori? Kori right?" I asked trying to be nice.
"Yes my name is Kori. It's Kori Anders. And yes I would like some help unpacking thank you. I'm afraid I don't know where to put things away. It's been a long time since I've had my own room and stuff to put away to call my own." Kori answered. I gave me a look and just rolled my eyes at her weirdness. Guess I'll find out in due time. One thing I know is to never pry, she'll come on her own time to maybe tell me what happened in her past.
Kori's side of the room was, bright. She had light purple covers with white sheets, nothing to put up on her walls and very few clothes to put away in her dresser. It took a bit but after I carefully explained, while holding my temper back (which obviously would not help the situation-mental note to thank my consular for anger management lessons), how to fold clothes, put them away nicely and how to make the bed. I needed some time to re-charge before dinner. After about an hour of unpacking, the girl didn't have much stuff, and me explaining the best way to put items away without stuffing them into random spots, we sat on our respective beds absorbed in our own thoughts. Kori sat curled up on her side facing the wall, muttering to herself. I sat lotus style on my bed muttering my mantra, meditating. Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metri….I continued this for a while until I heard Ms. Rita yell up that is was time for dinner. I opened my eyes and looked over to Kori's bed seeing that she was slowly sitting up.
"Ms. Rita says it's time for dinner which means we all go down to the dinning room and eat dinner with everyone. Usually its really loud and I hate it because I have to be with people but since this is your first night here everyone should be pretty calm tonight. So thank you for that. I can actually eat my meal in peace and not have food flying around." I nodded my thanks to Kori and guided her down to the dining room. We could hear Ms. Rita trying to calm everyone down saying we had someone new joining us at the house. Once everyone quieted we entered the dining room. I sat down in my usual seat at the end of the table where the quieter kids sat. Kori also sat next to me, which I had to resist doing an eye roll. Of course she's going to sit next to me. I thought a little negatively.
"Hi Kori!" I heard Jimmy shout as he wildly waved his arm at Kori. I noticed she waved shyly back. When the hell did those two meet? While I pondered this thought, I heard Ms. Rita call everyone's attention.
"Everyone! We have a new girl joining our house today. Her name is Kori Anders and she's very shy, so please everyone be nice to her. Maybe if ya'll nice enough you can sign her cast if she lets you later. Alright let's eat guys!" Everyone dug into his or her food, and I noticed Kori staring at all the food before her.
"It's okay, nothings poisoned here. Just go ahead and take whatever you want and however much you want. Trust me there's plenty for everyone." She still stared wide eye at all the food and slowly moved to get what she wanted to eat.
"Is there any mustard around. I think I remember putting that on my food when I was younger. The yellow stuff right?" She asked me.
"Yeah here ya go." I handed her the mustard and she smiled at me. She began happily applying a ton of mustard to her food. I raised an eyebrow at the amount she put on but turned back to my own food. When everyone was done eating we all gathered our plates and took them to the kitchen. The kids who had dish duty tonight began their chores and some of the other kids helped Ms. Rita pack up the leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Kori and I headed back to our room. I could see how tired she was and didn't want her to fall asleep at the table.
Kori's POV
I was so full from dinner and ready for bed. I was exhausted from today and was thankful I could go to bed soon. Rachel has actually been very kind to me today and for that I am very thankful. She's very quiet and shy herself. Likes to keep to herself but that I don't mind. I know it's going to take me a while to open up so I'm glad she hasn't pried yet. I was mega nervous with meeting Rachel, but was super thankful with her helping me put my stuff away. She was very patient with me and I don't blame her for wanting her own space. It's weird to have my own clean bed, a dresser to put my own, clean clothes away, and space to call my own. It was nice. Granted I have a roommate but maybe she can show me the ways of being a teenage girl. I curled up on my side and decided to go to bed early. Rachel was meditating again and I fell asleep to her softly whispering whatever those mystic sounding words were.
I dreamed I was falling. I fell for so long I thought I would never stop. All of a sudden this big poufy bed stopped me. I instantly got frightened and thought I was back in the hell-hole I was saved from. There was whispering all around me and I covered my ears to get the voices out. The whispering got louder and louder, drowning my own thoughts. I screamed and screamed trying to get them to stop. I lashed out before they could touch me. Kori, Kori, KORI, KO-RI! The last yell woke me out of my sleep and I lashed out with my arms, especially the one with the cast on it and I heard another yell. I realized it was Rachel and she was sitting on the floor clutching her face. I jumped off the bed and sat down next to Rachel.
"Oh my god, are you okay? I am so so sorry! I was having a nightmare and didn't know it was you trying to wake me up. Let me get a wash cloth for your face." I jumped up and ran to the bathroom across the hall, wetting a washcloth and racing back to our room. I handed the wetted cloth to Rachel and she held it to her nose.
"It's okay. You woke me up with your screaming. I thought someone was murdering you in your sleep. Thanks for hitting me by the way. The wash cloth is appreciated though." Rachel said sarcastically. It took me a minute to realize she was being sarcastic. This is going to take a while to realize when she is joking. I'm glad she isn't completely mad at me though but not surprised I had a nightmare. I just hope these don't happen often. I looked at Rachel's clocked and noticed it was 2:55 in the morning. Wow it's late. Luckily it turns out I have horrible aim and just tapped her nose, so it wasn't broken but bleeding a bit and turning slightly purple. I hope I don't get in trouble for this. Distress was clear on my face. Rachel looked up and noticed and said.
"Hey don't worry about this, it was an accident. We'll tell Ms. Rita about it in the morning and you won't get into trouble. I'll be fine really. The bleeding is almost done and it's just a little tender. Good thing I like the color purple." Rachel chuckled a little bit and that made me smile. I helped her stand up and she chucked the washcloth away when her nose stopped bleeding. We got back into our beds and fell quickly asleep.
We awoke the next morning to the smell of breakfast and the sound of feet thundering down the hallway. I rolled over and looked at Rachel and saw she was slowly getting out of bed. I followed suit and walked down the stairs with her back into the dining room. Again the dinner room was filled with food and everyone was quieter again but that could be because everyone just woke up. I still stared at all the food before me unable to comprehend that I could take whatever I want. At this rate I'll be overweight instead of underweight. Maybe I should take less this time and pace myself. Its night like it's going anywhere anytime soon. I took my time eating breakfast and I was one of the last kids to finish, not that Raven minded. Her nose was stuck in a huge book and she seemed content reading and drinking her tea. I picked up my dish and she followed suit. We walked into the kitchen to drop off our dishes. Before going upstairs Ms. Rita stopped us.
"Rachel what happened to your nose?" She said alarmed.
"Oh Kori was having a nightmare and when I was trying to wake her up, she whapped me with her cast. Good thing she has shit aim or else I'd have a broken nose." Rachel spoke easily.
"Well I'm glad it's nothing serious and Rachel you know better, don't swear. All right you two go have fun and do whatever. Ice breaker is going to be in a bit." Ms. Rita said and walked back into the kitchen.
We went up the stairs to our room and we got ready for the day.
After relaxing in our room for a bit, Ms. Rita hollered for everyone to report to the game room for introductions. I nervously looked toward Rachel.
"It'll be fine. No on is going to hurt you or make fun of you or anything like that. Ms. Rita wouldn't allow that and everyone remembers being in your shoes when first being at the house." I thanked Rachel and we walked toward the gaming room on the first floor. Everyone was sitting on the floor in a big circle. We joined the circle and Ms. Rita clapped her hands together, getting everyone's attention.
"Alrighty everyone! Like I said last night, this is Kori Anders. Please stand up Kori." I slowly stood up feeling more self-conscious then ever. I held my casted arm with my left hand trying to hide my body as much as possible. I still hated how I looked and hated how my clothes hung on my body. I waved shyly to the group and everyone said "Hi Kori!" with more energy then expected.
"Hello everyone. I-its nice to meet you." I sat down again and Ms. Rita took up the role of ringleader again.
"Alright so we are now going to go around the circle and say something unique about us so Kori can remember each of you better. Sound good?" Everyone nodded yes and we started with Rachel first.
"I'm Rachel Roth, your new roommate obviously. I love reading anything in general, especially history and the supernatural." A boy with bright blue-green eyes with brown hair spoke next.
"Hi I'm Garfield Logan and I really love animals but something unique about me is that I'm vegan." Next to Garfield was a big African American guy who had a prosthetic arm and a leg.
"My name is Victor Stone and I have TWO prosthetic limbs. That doesn't stop me from playing various sports and kicking everyone's butt though! Also I'm everyone's big brother here. I got your back." He said this with so much energy I couldn't help but giggle a bit when he was finished. Next to Victor was a boy with black hair and cerulean blue eyes.
"Hi my name is Richard Grayson but everyone calls me Dick." I gave him a very confused looked and everyone laughed. I got really embarrassed at this. I seriously cannot call him this name, it sounds so dirty! But luckily Richard explained quickly. "Its something from the 50's that people would shorten Richard to Dick, and I never liked the name Rich to begin with. Dick fits much better. Not that I'm mean to anyone or anything!" Richard added quickly. I giggled a bit at his slightly flustered face. After Richard's entertaining explanation, a tall African American girl with a bight yellow shirt that contrasted brightly against her dark skin, but she could totally pull it off, started speaking.
"Hey girl! My name's Karen Beecher and I love bees! I really good with fashion but also with science, so don't let my beauty fool you, I'm super smart." Next to Karen was Jimmy and three younger kids.
"HEY KORI!" I cringed a bit at his loudness and he lowered his voice slightly. "I'm Jimmy if you remember me from yesterday and this is Melvin, Timmy and Teether. Melvin is the oldest girl, with the blonde hair and blue eyes, Timmy is the second older boy blonde hair and blue eyes, and Teether is the youngest boy also with blonde hair and blue eyes. They're always scared of meeting people right away so it might take awhile for them to warm up to you. They might warm up to you faster since you're rooming with Rachel, they love her." The little ones were hiding behind Jimmy and I think they took to him because he was in middle school and wasn't as big as the teenagers. Rita looked around the room and noticed two people were missing.
"Guys where are Wally and Jennifer?" Everyone looked away guiltily and Ms. Rita knew something was up instantly.
"WALLY! JENNIFER! YOU TWO GET IN HERE INSTANTLY AND STOP THE PRANK IMMEDITELY!" Ms. Rita shouted. I clapped my hands over my ears right away and closed my eyes. Rachel tried to put her hand on my back to comfort me but I jerked away. She started speaking to me in a very low voice saying everything was going to be okay. I still shut her out, but then heard a strange noise. Some one was farting or more likely making a fart noise. Now that was never in the hell I was in and it snapped me out of whatever I was stuck in my head. I opened the eyes and slowly removed my hands from my ears. Garfield was laughing his head off and so was everyone else. I thought they were laughing at me and I realized they were laughing at who I assumed was Jennifer and Wally. Wally was a red-head cackling, holding his sides while Jennifer was sitting red-faced trying to reach under her to get what I assume was a whoopee cushion. Aw Ryan would have loved that. My little Wildfire. I thought sadly to myself. I could hear Ms. Rita scolding the two new comers and I finally lifted my head to get a good look at them. Wally was whipping tears from his blue green eyes and Jennifer was glaring at him with her dark amber eyes.
"Now be polite to our new guest and introduce yourselves. Say something unique about yourselves." Ms. Rita scolded. Jennifer nodded, her dyed pink hair moving into her face and introduced herself.
"Hello I'm Jennifer Hexington and I usually have a trail of bad luck following me around." She elbowed the redhead next to her.
"I'm Wallace West but everyone calls me Wally. I am the fastest boy in our school district." He said this with a huge grin.
"Alrighty Kori I think that's everyone in the house now. It's free time until lunch so everyone do as they please but no breaking the house rules!" Ms. Rita warned and mostly everyone left the game room. Jimmy instantly came over to me and the 3 siblings tackled Rachel to the ground.
"Kori lets play a board game!" Jimmy said excitedly and dragged me over to the bookshelf stacked with games. We ended up picking "Candyland", "Sorry", and "Hungry Hungry Hippo" because the kids wanted to play with us. Once Jimmy taught me the rules, hours flew by as we played. Rachel stayed behind because Teether was holding her shirt and refused to let go, so she read her book the whole time. The other teenagers came and went in the game room, as there was a TV with multiple video game consuls, darts, air hockey, and other fun stuff.
Wow! Now I wrote most of this in two days this past weekend (still getting used to the new schedule and we had a 3-day weekend) and I loved how it turned out. I've had some ideas playing in my head this past week and I was literally so happy I got the time to type everything down. Now I feel like people are going to get confused as to why it seems Rachel (aka Raven) talks to herself a lot and I'm trying to incorporate the mirror she uses "Nevermore" in the original Cartoon Network cartoon. So she's like somewhat talking to her other selves but without actually talking to them (unless people like that because I almost really like that, but I don't want her to sound crazy. Please leave a review to tell me what you think!) if that makes sense. I'm sorry if I'm confusing! Message me and I can try and explain better.
