Raven's Revenge

I was practicing both parts of Odette and odelle of the dace, yet there was something missing from my Odette. keeps scolding me about it as I danced it over and over. After everyone left I sat against the wall and think. "What am I missing?" I said out loud thinking I was alone but I heard someone's voice. "I don't know, maybe love?" Ivan said as he sat down next to me and smiled. I look at Ivan and sighed. "I don't know what love is, Ivan. I'm only 16, "I said with a hint of disaper in my voice. I closed my eyes but I pulled up to stand in front of Ivan. I looked at him for a minute before he spun me around and held me close to chest. A blush crept up to my cheek. "I-Ivan! What are you doing?" I said stumbling over my words.

"Showing you love through dance, Da?" Ivan said as he spun me around again. All of a sudden, he stopped dancing as I saw out of the corner of my eye. "IVAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" she yelled as she walked toward Ivan and I. Ivan backed up a little as was standing in front of him. "Well Ivan…? Or do I need to teach you a lesson again?" said as she was raising her hand to hit him. Just as she was bring her hand down to hit him. I grabbed her wrist and glared softly at her. "Don't hit him! If you want to fight take it somewhere else not on the dance floor," I said with a stern but gentle voice. glared at me then slapped me with her other hand. "Don't come to class or I will make sure you will never dance again!" she yelled before she walked away. Ivan let out a sigh in relief as he watched leave. "I can't believe that she challenged you like that," Ivan said as he was shaking. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close. Ivan had tears strolling down his face and I couldn't stand it.

"Ivan, stop crying. I want stop dancing no matter what. I know what I need to do," I said softly as I stepped away from him. I smiled softly as he looked at me softly. "I have to show her my true dance, my little prince," I said as I looked towards the door. Ivan kneeled before me and offered his hand to me. "Show me your dance, little swan," he said as I took his hand and bowed. I nodded as he stood up and spun me around. I laughed a little as he dipped me back as the clock tower chimed at 6pm. We both looked at the tower and sighed. "I better head home sadly, little prince," I said as I bowed and turned towards the locker room. Ivan grabbed my wrist and pulled me in a gentle kiss before letting me go. I blushed heavily before I walked into the locker room. I noticed that my shoes were out of the locker and I took off my practice shoes. I slipped into my sneakers. "Ouch, fuck that hurt!" I said as I pulled out my foot from my sneaker to see it was bleeding and had glass in it. I faintly sigh as I pulled out the glass and winces every time. I grabbed a bandage from my bag and wrapped it around my foot. I put some weight on it and a sharp pain went through my leg. "Me not dancing…I'll prove them wrong I," I said as I grabbed my practice shoes and head back to the practice hall.

I slipped into my practice shoes and went over to the music box to play swan lake. I walked to the middle of the room to see . "You didn't take my warning, Elizabeth. So I need to teach you a lesson," Rus said as she got into her dancing postion. I looked at rus with a soft look before put my hand out to her. "Rus, please dance with me. I don't want to fight you," I said as I closed my eyes. I heard steps coming towards me with a knife in hand. I quickly took a step back and dropped to my knee barely missing any chest. Rus spun around and lunged towards me but a gloved hand stopped the knife inches from my chest. "Rus, this is wrong and you know it. Stop it!" ivan yelled as he yanked the knife from rus as ivan had his hand in a fist. There were blood droplets falling onto the floor. "Ivan you hurt," I said as I ripped the ribbon the ribbon off my shoe and started wrapping it around his cut. I didn't care that my shoe didn't fit properly now. "Don't you touch him," rus yelled as she pulled away my hand. I looked at her with a gentle look.

I turned towards rus with a sad smile and held out my hand. "Rus, please dance with me once. Just once," I said as I slipped out of my ballet shoes. Rus looked down at my feet to see the bloody bandage around my foot. "B-But your foot! You can't dance like that," she stammered as ivan backed up against the wall. Rus looked at him before taking my hand. I spun her around as I spun as well. "Rus please show me your Odette," I said softly as I put my hand to my heart. A couple of my classmates came running in. " and Elizabeth are battling!" the tallest yelled as ivan hushed them. I heard them as I bend back to me the back of my leg. Rus was mirroring my movement except it wasn't Odette she was playing, it was odile.
