Chap 9~~~Reflections of the Past~~~

Authoress's Rant Corner..

Wow..I actually got off my butt to do something. Heh, that's amazing. Now onto the good stuff and thanks people for waiting for this chap.

*~*--*~*

Ravwrin sighed happily as she followed Dib out of the skool building. They all seemed to shy away from even bumping her because of a small 'accident' one of the other class students had.

~Flashback~

Ravwrin was just waiting till the teacher got done talking to introduce herself when she heard a whistle. She looked around to see who did it and noticed some guy in the back drooling over her. She rolled her eyes and glared at him.

"Alright Ravwrin. Do this quick so we can get on with our doomed lives." The teacher hissed.

"Name's Ravwrin and just Ravwrin. No one is allowed to call me anything unless I agree to it." she started.

"Can I call you hot?" the guy in the back asked.

Ravwrin narrowed her eyes dangerously and grinned with a demonic Cheshire cat grin. "Only if you want your intestines tide around your throat and you hanging from a tree." She replied. "And if any other freak has a problem with it then they can have the same fate."

A girl pointed at Dib, "He's a freak, why not start with him?"

Ravwrin gave her a blank stare, "I have no clue what you're talking about." She said. Ravwrin made her way to the empty seat beside the girl. "There is one thing I noticed about this skool."

"And what's that?" she asked.

"That he and I are normal and you people are the freaks." She replied with a hiss. "You never see the bigger picture and you never read between the lines. Things are odder and scarier than you believe them to be. Watch yourself because you never know who you're gonna piss off and who is gonna end up snapping." She finished with a flourish and sat down.

Everyone gaped at her and Dib followed. No one had heard anything like that ever. The teacher raised an eyebrow and let out a hissing laugh. "I like the way you think child."

~End Flashback~

"So, the first day of skool and you terrify everyone." Dib finally says. "I'm surprised."

Ravwrin grinned up at him. "Many people never know how scary I can be until I'm provoked. And she had provoked my wrath. And does that teacher continue to say the same thing over and over again?"

"Yes, ever since I first had her. And that was quite a while back." Dib replied.

"I love doom and everything." Ravwrin shuddered, "But talking about it for seven hours straight is just a tad annoying."

Dib chuckled, "At least we don't have homework."

Ravwrin smiled happily, "YAY!"

There was silence as they started down the sidewalk. Dib suddenly spoke up again though, "Thanks."

Ravwrin looked a bit perplexed. "For what Dib?"

"For actually saying what you did. No one's really done that." He replied quietly.

Ravwrin stopped and looked at him. Her icy softened almost as if they were water. Emerald green started to swirl up from their depths. In front of her she saw a teen who had been shunned and alone pretty much most of his life. Her hand shot out and snatched at the fabric of Dib's trench coat.

"No problem Dib. Let's just say that that was just the beginning. I'll stick up for you and you stick up for me." She smiled up at him.

Dib nodded, "Fine I'll say that. Just one thing though."

Ravwrin started to walk again, "Hm?"

"Do you always have to be so graphic in threatening people?" he asked.

"Yep." She replied and skipped ahead a bit.

Dib sighed and shook his head. He would never understand her at all. He looked back up to see Ravwrin had stopped. He came up beside her. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"My street to go home." She replied. She looked down the street a bit and looked back toward Dib.

"Oh." he said. He rubbed the back of his neck a bit nervous. "Well..if you want to do anything later just say so in skool tomorrow." He said.

"Maybe." Ravwrin replied. "We could have done something tonight but I already had plans. But." Ravwrin stopped and stood on her tippy-toes. She kissed his cheek lightly. "But I'll see you tomorrow and we can plan something."

She started to walk down the street before Dib came to his senses. 'Did she just do that?' he asked himself. He touched his cheek with his hand and shook his head. "Truly will never understand her."

Gizil looked over panel after panel of his ship. This mission needed to go down without a flaw or his life would be on the line. 'Stupid child toy of the Tallest.' He hissed to himself. 'If she wouldn't have been so important my life wouldn't be on the line.' He shook his head as he entered into the ship. Everything had been checked several dozen times and he was sure he was ready.

The serpentine creature curled up into a chair after typing in the coordinates to the planet Earth. "Until we meet child. Until we meet." He hissed and the ship lifted off. He narrowed his eyes as the vastness of space came into view. "You will be mine and I will not perissssh."

Rouk sighed as she shined the blade. She shivered a bit almost as if it was a foretelling that something was going to happen. The door clicked softly and her head shot up. Her eyes narrowed at the knowing that the scent she caught was not Ravwrin's. She sneered as she heard a muffled curse and she quickly rose and placed the sword on Ravwrin's bed.

Quietly stalking to the corner she looked around it. It was none other that the little green boy Zim. She knew all about his race and the other. She despised them both. Narrowing her eyes dangerously she dropped the human hologram and turned into an alien cat species. Large gold eyes watched him carefully as frying pan sized paws with claws the size of a small pocket knife kneaded the carpet. A very long tail lashed the air and a blade on the end of it glinted in the sunlight. Rounded ears laid flat against her skull and the fur of different shades of blue. A long, lithe body with long legs completed the frame for this creature.

The Irken glanced around the room as if looking for something. Rouk took this as her chance to start to move up onto him. Very carefully she wove her thin body through the items in the room and came up behind him. The alien didn't even know she was there until he turned around.

"Whoa! What in the name of the Tallests are you!" he yelped and fell onto his ass.

Rouk snarled showing fangs the size of a normal person's hand, "Your worst nightmare Irken."

She pounced on him and sunk her claws into his shoulders making him yelp. Green blood oozed onto her claws as spider legs came out for the Irken's back pod. Rouk used her tail to snap them off. Soon he has holding back her fangs with his hands. The door suddenly clicked open.

Both looked up from their battle to see one very pissed Ravwrin standing in the doorway. Her eyes were narrowed very dangerously and she was trembling. "What the hell is going on here?" she hissed out through gritted teeth. She pointed to Zim, "And what the hell are you doing in my home?"

Zim looked at her, "Um.uh."

"Just as I thought. You break into my house and if you're trying to say that Rouk did this you're bloody wrong." She snarled. "Rouk, let the bastard up."

Rouk glanced down at Zim. "You are in for it now." She muttered. Her form shimmered and she returned to basic form. The silver looking biomech form. She jumped off of Zim's chest and bounded to Ravwrin.

Ravwrin waited until Zim had stood and strode over to him. "Alright you asshole. Why in the hell were you in my house? Rouk could have killed you if I hadn't come home." She hissed.

Zim rolled his eyes. "I could have handled that puny beast of yours."

Rouk growled. "Puny?!? Puny?!? I'll show you puny!" she growled and launched herself at Zim.

Ravwrin moved quick and without even realizing it brought a sword between her small pet and friend and her would be kill. Ravwrin gasped and looked at the blade in her hand.
