Ninth chapter:
Garfield and Raven were walking. She was thinking about everything she had heard just now, while Garfield was trying to make a decision. After a while he did so he looked at Raven.
„Rae" he said silently, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him.
„I've decided to tell you my past", he said „although Ivana and Sarah will not be happy"
„Why?"
„Because I want to."
„And not so you can get rid of your guilt?"
„No, I had no idea that you're my sister in law. Sarah and I was born in America, but we moved with our parents so they can explore. They were bio engineers, we were so happy until our parents died." He abated and looked in field. Raven waited for few seconds, then she asked him: „How?" He looked at her sadly and continued.
„We were on boat-trip and we ran into a rock. A boat started sinking so our parents sent us to coast. We didn't want to go but they made us. We barely swam to coast and when we turned back we saw them drowning.", he finished. Raven held him and whispered into his ear: „I'm sorry.". He just smiled and continued.
„After that the chief of the tribe adopted us, but charlatan hated us so he paid some people to kidnap us and they sold us to slavers. They brought us to America and some thiefs kidnap us. They made us to work for them, and that's how we started our career. Unfortunately they killed each other for some diamonds, but before that one of them tried to rape Sarah. I saved her so he left me a gift", he took off his shirt. On his back was a big scar shaped like wings. Raven looked at it and gently touched it. He slowly backed away, and put shirt on.
„Sarah wounded him somehow and then they killed each other, meanwhile I fainted because I lost a lot of blood. Sarah saved me because she called help. We told police the truth so our grandparents found out what happened to us. They took us in and that's when we started our revenge. We trained and soon we learn how to combine new skills of killing with old ones we learn from thiefs. We started hunting everyone who hurted us and kill them. On one of those trips police found us and offered us an ultimatum: we got to choose between working for them, or jail. We decided to work for them and we've been killing for government since than. Eight years ago we ran into your sister. In beginning I couldn't stand her but after a while we became lovers and we got married. Than Ivana came six years ago and we've been family again. Than she got killed and we haven't been truly happy since then, but than you got here. You showed me some things that I have never seen before in my life. I loved Selen with all my heart and I always will, but I love you, too."
„And if Selen is here..."
"I think that I wouldn't love you as much as now, but if I would love you, I would never do anything to hurt or deceive Selen." Raven smiled at him and hugged him, and he gladly hugged her. When they got away he put his hand on her face.
„You're not laying to me, right?", she asked a little scared.
„Never, you mean too much to me.", he answered and kissed her gently.
Sarah was at the computer doing a research when Ivana walked in room.
„Where's the fire?", Sarah asked with her eyes rivet to screen. Ivana ignored her and said: „Look out the window!"
„Why?"
„Just look!" Sarah signed and looked out, just in time to see Raven and Garfield kiss. She looked at Ivana and they both said: „IIUUUUUUU!!!!"
