~Chronicles of the Lost

Chapter 10: Fever?

Raven woke up and looked around. At first he was confused as to where he was but he quickly remembered yesterday's events. Pulling himself out of bed was tough he still wanted to lay there. Finally he was able to get up and look out the window. Outside he saw it was already mid-day and that plenty of ponies were out walking about. A knock at the door caused him to turn around.

"Raven are you up yet?" Twilight called out before entering. When she saw Raven she almost gasped, he was standing next to the window, and the way the sunlight hit him caused a blue light to fill the room.

"Good morning Twilight" Raven said stepping away from the window causing the blue light to disappear. "How long have I been asleep?" he asked trying to remember when he went to sleep last night. He couldn't remember much aside from the colors of purple and green, as well as scales.

"Well if you include from when you were in the hospital yesterday than since I meet you, you've been asleep for about 18 hours" Twilight said running some quick math in her head.

"Too much" Raven said before stretching his back and feeling a dull pain. "I can't seem to remember what happened last night" he started trying to remember what had happened "How did I get in bed?"

Twilight laughed nervously "Oh it was nothing, you just went upstairs and feel to sleep" She motioned to the door "How about you come downstairs for some 'breakfast' even though it's already time for lunch"

Raven realized he hadn't eaten anything since coming to Equestria "Sure" he said smiling "That would be great, I haven't had a good meal in a while". The thought that he was now a pony, thus couldn't eat the same things as before, slipped his mind as he followed twilight down to the kitchen. Once he saw what there was to eat he knew it would be harder to adapt to this life than when he was human.

After a meal consisting of Toast, haybacon, eggs, and a glass of milk he began to wash the dishes which surprised Twilight. "You don't need to do that" She said trying to stop him.

Raven shook his head "No, I do, I'm not one to take others charity for granted, let me do at least this much" He said looking into her eyes which caused her to blush again "Are you feeling alright Twilight?" he asked when he saw her go red "You look a little feverish"

Twilight stepped back and laughed "I'm fine you don't need to worry about…" She stopped in mid sentence when suddenly Raven had caught her and put his forehead against hers. Not understanding what was happening Twilight's face color rivaled that of a Tomato "..me…" she said finishing her sentence.

Raven frowned and stepped back from Twilight "you do feel a bit feverish, why don't you go lay down while I finish up here" He smiled a continued working on the dishes. He still wasn't that used to using his hooves but he was starting to get the hang of it.

A very red and flustered Twilight quickly left the kitchen and went upstairs to her bed. 'What's wrong with me' she thought to herself as she hid herself under the covers, in an attempt to escape her embarrassment. 'why am I feeling this way towards a colt I only met a day ago, it's not logical, it makes no sense!'. She could feel her face growing hotter as she thought more about Raven.

Meanwhile in a far away castle Celestia was watching her crystal dissapointedly when she saw Twilight leave the room. 'If it were me' she thought 'I would have taken advantage of his face being that close' she chuckled to herself before turning to complete her royal duties (Ha I said duties :P u mad?)

Raven put away the last of the dishes before turning around and coming face to face with Spike. All his memorys from last night suddenly returned as he remembered the angry little dragon breathing fire at him causing him to faint. "It's you!" He said with a hint of fear in his voice.

Spike yawned when he walked into the kitchen and saw an unfamiliar sight. It was the new Pony in town 'I think twilight said his name was Raven?' "Good morning" spike said forgetting about the bad impression Raven had left on him. Spike also failed to notice the fear that was in Ravens voice "Whats for breakfast?" he asked.

"Oh if you'd like I could make you something really quick!" Raven offered hoping the dragon would accept the offer. He was concerned that breakfast might mean him, I mean sure the dragon looked small but a dragon is a dragon right! Raven started to pull out some ingredients, there was only one thing he was sure he could make, and that would be his signature Pancakes. Before he had been forced to leave home it was almost the only thing he cooked, and they were 'always the best' he thought to himself remembering how many of his friends would always ask for his pancakes whenever they came over. Mei used to love them too, at this he felt a little depressed and tried to shake the thoughts from his head.

Spike yawned again as he watched Raven starting to make something, whatever it was Raven was making he sure was fast at it. Spike sat down at the table and decided he would try to get to know Raven "So your, uh Raven right?" He asked.

Raven nodded "That's my name don't wear it out!" He had finished mixing the batter, within it he had used flour, sugar, eggs, and a splash of milk. The pan on the stove was starting to get hot as a small piece of butter thrown in that quickly melted proved. He pored out the first one and stood ready, spatula in hoof, of course he still didn't understand how he was holding said spatula but hey 'If it aint broke don't fix it!'. "And your Spike right?" Raven asked back still a little nervous of the dragon.

Spike smiled "That's right, I'm Twilights number one assistant, and don't think that's gonna change" He said a little threateningly "I won't let you or anypony else take that from me!"

Raven blinked and chuckled to himself 'ah I see, he's like a kid guess there's not much to fear from him. Raven grabbed the pan and flicked it upwards sending the half cooked pancake into the air and landing it face up back on the pan.

"How did you do that!" Spike asked amazed at the Pony's skills. "Is that your special talent?" he looked at raven flank and was surprised to find it bare "Wait where is your cutie mark?"
