Chapter 12
Oh man that hurt. Aw man I'm back. I thought as I sat up slowly and rubbing my head. I had an enormous headache and my back of scars were throbbing. I only remember voices and me trying to heal myself as best I could.
I looked around the room and saw no one in sight. The Titans must have been here because they must have worried for me. I needed to get out of the crazy house and to the Slytherin tower. I wanted everything normal again. I should have never gone to Jump city in the first place. But Slade would have just ended up harming me here and it wouldn't have helped much.
I got up and put my bare feet on the cold floor. I saw a mirror and my hair had grown and hadn't been cut yet. I was also the same way Slade had made it. I needed to do a spell to make it black again and my eyes green. I stepped closer to the mirror and pulled out my finger. Without sawing a word I magically turned my hair black and cut it. My eyes were also dark green again.
I walked towards the door. Someone was outside the door because I heard footsteps. The door opened and in came Iggy. Thank goodness he is blind because I was in a hospital gown and otherwise naked. "Iggy?"
"Raven?" he asked. "Are you ok? And why are you out of bed?"
"I just woke up and I'm fine." I said as I trotted back to my bed and Iggy followed. I covered myself and told Iggy to sit on the bed. "So, what happened to me?"
"I was told you went under an enormous attack from Slade that you couldn't handle. You went unconscious and was asleep for a long time."
"How long?" I asked not looking at him feeling ashamed of my weakness.
"It's October."
"Omg!" I said. "what day?"
"The 30th. It's the eve of Halloween. There is going to be a feast tomorrow." he said trying to cheer me up. "Come as my date?"
"What about Draco? Would he be mad?"
"Draco kind of found someone else. I'm sorry." he said. "The flock and I have decided to stay at Hogwarts for full residence. Dumbledore gave us a separate tower next to yours."
"Wow. I've missed a lot haven't I?"
"Yeah but I have visited you at least ten times a day everyday and told you everything."
"Thanks, Iggy." I said and kissed him on his cheek. "Well at least one thing good came out of this."
"What's that?" asked Iggy with a loving smile on his face.
"I know that Draco's a jerk." we both laughed when I said this and then sat in silence for a while.
"So." I started to just break the silence. "I have been thinking. How would you like to not be blind anymore?" I asked.
"Don't tell me you got a spell for that."
"No. I have a potion that can give you sight for the rest of your life."
"Your kidding?" he asked with joy and nearly jumped off the bed.
"No I just need to get to my room at the tower real quick."
"Ok."
I had enough strength to get there and back so I teleported to my room quickly. I got there and saw all of my stuff there. I grabbed a bag out of my drawer and threw in my spell book, potions book and some reading books. I then grabbed most of the ingredients I owned and threw them in. The neat thing about my bag was that it could fit as much stuff as I needed and it didn't weigh the size or get any bigger. When I was ready I then teleported back onto my bed. Iggy was still there but someone else was too. Harry Potter.
"heard you woke up but when I came here only Iggy was here." said Harry smartly.
I was on my bed kneeling and stunned to see I was caught. "I just went home real quick to grab a few things. Its not like I was going to die." I said.
"Don't worry I'm not going to tell Dumbledore. Oh and we magically transferred all the lessons you missed into your brain and Dumbledore said not to worry about any assignments till your next class."
"Thanks." I said and motioned him to leave because I needed to speak to Iggy a little more.
"Well see you later. I'll save you a seat in class."
"okay bye. Thanks for everything." I said and turned my attention back to Iggy once Harry left. "Okay ready to see again?" I asked him excitedly.
"Well yeah I can't wait to see you with my eyes instead of my hands." While he said this I began placing the items I had in my bag onto a nearby table. I looked in my spell book for the potion of sight. I found it on the 54th page and began looking at the ingredients.
Ingredients:
Crushed dragon scales
2 eyes of a newt
A crayon that is black and blue
A fishes tail
A mermaid scale
A vampire fang and a lock of hair from a fare maiden
"Aww, man." I said in a soft voice.
"What's wrong?" asked Iggy with his sharp hearing.
"I'm missing an ingredient."
"What is it?"
"a lock of hair from a fare maiden." I answered gloomily.
"It's ok." Iggy said as he got up and walked over to me. He picked up a small group of hair that was still, may I add, attached to my head and said "We can just use yours, I think you qualify."
I blushed and said "I guess so." I grabbed a cauldron from the nurses shelf and filled it with hot water. "Dragon scales, eyes of newts, crayon black and blue, fish tail, mermaid scale, vampire fang and lock of hair." I chanted this as I threw in the ingredients. "Give this water sense. Sense to see. Sense to see like made too. Endarath. Azarath. Metrion and Xion!" I said this all and the water brewed and mixed in with the ingredients. I looked at the book to see what to do next. "I need someone who already has any sense and wishes to give it up for you to be able to see but it will only give them inability to use the sense for a day."
"Will I be able to keep my sight?"
"Yes."
"So, who can we get?" asked Iggy.
"I know." I said with an evil smile that I wished Iggy could see. "Malfoy." we both said at the same time.
I transformed my wardrobe quickly so no one saw my ass and instructed Iggy to watch the potion. I left the room knowing classes were going on and snuck all the way to transfiguration class. This was where Draco was suppose to be. Maybe he would be on the way to the bathroom and I could trick him. Ok, I think I am physic because on my way to the classroom was Malfoy coming in the opposite direction. I stopped and stared at him as he came toward me slowly. Oh my God he was so hot but I could not think that right now and plus he went after someone else so, he wasn't worth it and Hermione was right. All I had to do was flirt with him and trick him into following me to where my potion was. Hopefully Iggy hid so Draco wouldn't see him.
"Hey, I haven't seen you all day." I said in my best flirty voice I could get out. "I thought you would come and visit me in the Hospital wing. I mean, surely you would have heard that I had woken up." when he got close enough I started tracing my finger in a swirl on his chest while I said this.
"Yeah, I was just on my way to see you." he stuttered out.
"You know," I started as I looked down at my tracing finger. "I have been thinking," I thought of what girl that he may be with. I pictured Lavender but thought "What are you stupid? It couldn't be her!" "Maybe we should take our relationship to the next level." I then thought of the redhead in my flying class. The one with big beautiful long curls that reached all the way down her back and my straight jet black hair that only went right below my shoulders. Maybe it is her. Or maybe its that hot Chinese girl in Hufflepuff. She has been eyeing him for a while. "So what do you think?" I asked finally.
"Uh…" Draco was dumbstruck. He couldn't have known what to say. "You mean…"
I nodded with an evil smile that was very flirty. He smirked a little back and I turned and walked back toward the Hospital wing. He followed to get what I had lured him into. Only problem was that the next level was revenge for a day.
When we got to the Hospital wing I motioned to Draco to close his eyes. We walked in. Good Iggy was gone. I opened Draco's eyes again and then said "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthous!" My black magic grasped Draco and wrapped him into a cocoon. Iggy came out and ready to take the potion. "So, what sense do you hate the most, Draco?"
"What?!?!"
"Oh it's ok. You will only miss it for a day but, in return Iggy here will be able to see for as long as he lives."
"Ok! But why me?!? What did I do?!?!"
"You didn't stick by me. You abandoned me for another girl. You also didn't bother to fight Slade off me but, just stood and watched. Just because I was having a vision doesn't mean I didn't know what you were doing." I now felt a bit bad that I tricked Draco. It wasn't his fault that I went unconscious and he went to another girl. I mean, how could you stay with a girl who is knocked out and not to mention is the daughter of a demon? Yeah I know, softie Raven.
I was looking at him with a look of I-can't-believe-I'm-going-to-do-this-to-him. "Go ahead and do it already. What are you waiting for Rae? The end of the world?" ok now Draco pushed it a bit to far.
"Ok, that's it! If I wanted to I wouldn't have to wait for the end of the freaking world! I could easily summon Trigon faster than you could cast the luminous spell!"
"What have you been practicing?!?" shouted Draco.
"What in the world are you guys doing!?" shouted Iggy. "You are pointlessly fighting! Rae, don't even bother with the potion, I could never do this to Malfoy. I know what its like to not have all five senses and he probably wouldn't even last the day without even one of them."
"I could too!" shout Draco. "Plus, there is a lope hole in this potion. I read about it. You could use an animal or a creature instead of a human."
"That's inhuman!" I shouted.
"Then make sure the animal isn't let lose for the day." he said.
"Ok. Fine." I let Draco go from my magic grasp. He ran over to the spell book and looked at it quickly.
"We don't need a sense donor for this potion!" he said. "Your book is just missing a section of another potion. So, that instruction is for another spell."
"Oh, thanks." I said.
"I guess my work here is done." he said cheerfully and started to waltz out. But I caught him with my magic grasp and said "Oh no, you don't get off that easily. You're going to see your girlfriend so a little payback is necessary." I thought of a spell that would bound his lips so he wouldn't be able to kiss his girlfriend for thirty minutes. "Reformnium." His lips were stuck and he couldn't talk or French kiss. "Say hello to your girl for me Malfoy!"
He nodded and left to look for his girlfriend. Now it was time to give Iggy his sight again. I picked up a glass and poured some of the potion into it and handed it to Iggy saying "This much will give you eyesight for life." he nodded and drank it all down in one gulp. I started packing my stuff back into my sack. I went to the sink and cleaned out the cauldron waiting for the potion to kick in. "See anything?" I asked as I dried the cauldron with my back toward Iggy.
"Yeah, you." he then swung me around and kissed me passionately for what seemed like forever. He finally pulled back and said "Thank you! Now I will be able to see you." I smiled and he did the same. I then noticed his eyes. They weren't cloudy white anymore. Instead they were a beautiful light blue.
"Your eyes. They are stunning." I said and traced his eye with a finger.
"You mean they are not cloudy and white?"
"Yes." I said with a bright smile on my face. "Let me dry this cauldron out and then we need to tell Max and your flock." I turned around and finished drying the cauldron and put it back where I found it. I grabbed my bag and checked out of the Hospital wing proud of my work.
Iggy held my hand as we walked down to the dining hall. It was lunch time anyway. We reached the giant room and found everyone already seated and eating. The flock sat with the Gryffindor house, next to Harry and his friends. Lavender was there too.
"Hey, what's up?" said Max with a mouthful of chicken sandwich. She was next to Fang and Lavender.
"Hey, Max, Fang. Where are Nudge, Angel and Gasman?" asked Iggy trying to get them to notice. "I don't see them."
"Earth to Iggy, you're blind, remember?" said Fang sarcastically and Max backhanded him.
"Actually, Nudge is sitting with a boy from Ravenclaw and Gasman and Angel are at the Hufflepuff table. They found a couple friends." said Max.
Iggy and I sat down across from Max and Fang. I was next to Hermione who asked "Hey, you did the sight potion on him didn't you?" as she pointed to Iggy.
"Yeah, how did you know?" I asked her.
"His eyes are not white anymore." she said.
"OMG! You're right!" said Max looking at Iggy. "Can you see me Iggy?" she asked as she waved her hand in front of his face.
"Yes." he said as he reached for some pizza and a few chicken wings. "You have dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. You are wearing a green t-shirt and a grey sweatshirt."
Max looked as stunned as my mother when she found out she was pregnant with a demon's daughter. Yeah, how would you feel?
"Fang?" she asked as she poked him in the side, "Are you believing this?" Fang nodded without looking up from his food and then finally said "If she can heal you then I guess she can heal Iggy." It was funny he didn't even look up from his chicken.
"Hey, Rae?" said Lavender finally, who I might add I haven't seen in like ever.
"Yeah." I said as I took a bit into a slice of pizza.
"You ready to try out your broom after lunch?" she asked. "I mean we have a free period and it would be interesting to see you fly on an object instead of just in the air."
"Oh, no-" I started but was interrupted by Iggy.
"Oh come on, we need to see something new from you. Well at least, I need to see something." We all laughed and I agreed to fly on a freaking broomstick since real witches are suppose too. It doesn't make sense anyway, why ride a broom when you could levitate yourself with a spell?
We got to the Quiddich field to see me fly or rather to experience flying on a stick. Harry came and brought his broom with him. So, I won't be the only freak.
"Ok, I'm not sure I can do this." I said starting to turn back but was caught by Fred and George, who I didn't know why they were here.
"You're not going anywhere." said Fred and then George said "Yeah, now set down the broom and lets get started."
"Now stand to the left of your broom-" started Harry but I cut him off and said "I know how to do it, remember they planted the information into my head." I made a silly face and said "up!" to the broom. I had a black star broom, one broom faster than Harry's. I then hopped on the broom and kicked off like a pro.
"Hey! This isn't so bad!" I said and fly around. Harry was on his broom too and flew behind me. He was nearly on my tail so I decided to fling a small dark magic bolt at him. "Shing!" went my bolt and nearly hit him and threw him off guard.
"No cheating!" yelled Harry from behind with a chuckle.
"Yeah, says you!" I yelled back.
Iggy and Fang had then took off into the air to join us. Lavender and the other stayed behind. Max then joined us also. We all flew around for a while and then I alone flew to higher altitude and was soon joined by Iggy.
"How do you like it?" he asked.
"I prefer no broom." I answered and then I leapt off my broom and fell down straight forward. I then changed my uniforms into my cloak and jumpsuit. I was diving, eyes closed, and feel the air rush through me.
"Raven!" yelled Iggy. He had caught up with me and we were both falling. The others must have seen us because they were shouting. Harry, Max and Fang had already landed smoothly. "What are you doing?!"
"Watch!" I yelled back at Iggy with joy. I was about two-hundred feet above the ground when my eyes started to glow white and I said "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthous!" Iggy landed and watched from below and apparently he had caught my broom on the way down.
I flew up toward the sky again and then let my inner soul out and free. A mystical back magic shaped like me flew out of me and few around in the bright blue sky, although my body dropped down again. Suddenly my body was picked up by another on a broomstick. I was Malfoy. I, my soul self, flew down where the others were. Malfoy was there with my body. I flew back into it angry and violated in some way. I was in Malfoy's arms as if I were a cradled baby.
"Oh, Draco, thank you for saving my body! How can I ever repay you?" I said in my best girly voice. Everyone but Draco looked at me as if I were drunk.
"Uh, how about a giant kiss?" he asked.
"You asshole!" I shouted and slapped him across the face. His neck snapped back and I shouted "Put me down this instant!" Everyone sighed as if saying "Thank God she is ok." I slapped Draco again and he finally dropped me. I fell on my butt but got up and started dusting off my cloak and my suit. "What is wrong with you?" I asked Draco in my meanest voice I could. But something was wrong with me and I could feel it.
"You were falling."
"So you decide to save me now?" I asked him and I was even angrier than ever. My eyes glowed red. I grew an extra pair of extra eyes as well. Just like my father. I started to snarl. Then the warning writing appeared in red on my body. I was a bit scary and everyone was hiding in fear. I then grew tall and started down the field to the end goal.
Suddenly Beast Boy and Starfire flew into the Quiddtich field and landed onto the ground. "Raven!" shouted Beast Boy. "What are you doing?!"
I only growled and tentacles flung out of my robes and grabbed Draco and I asked him "Are you afraid of the dark?" and pulled him in while he screamed his bloody head off. "Please! Friend! You must do the snap out of it now!" shouted Starfire.
"Raven! I am going to give you a large smooch!" said Beast Boy. I then snapped out of it and lowered myself. My eyes were again normal but, the writing was still on my body. I walked toward my friends. "Raven? What happened?" asked Lavender astonished by what she had just seen.
"None of your business!" I shouted at her and my eyes went red quickly and back again. I turned around and headed for the school, so I could wander the halls to be alone. I was thinking of wearing my cloak more often. Iggy unfortunately caught up with me. "Starfire and Beast Boy left."
"So." I said.
"What on earth happened back there? Need to see Dr. Phil about anger management issues?" he asked jokingly to me.
"No." I said as calm as I could so I didn't lash out on him like I did to Lavender.
"Well….Don't you want to talk?"
"Look, when my evil side is lose, I lash out in anger easily. It is hard for me to express emotion. Therefore I must control myself. Enough said now, I must be alone, I'm sorry." I said, even though I truly wanted him there by my side.
"Can I at least walk with you to make sure you don't lash out again?"
"Yeah, I guess so," I said as I gave in to his adorable smile. "I need to meditate though." We walked in silence yet again. He followed me all the way to the gardens where I found a couple benches around a fountain. I sat on one and levitated myself. "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." I started chanting calmly. A small spark of black energy flew out of my forehead, where my red gem sat. I chanted more calmly so my emotions didn't show.
My thoughts went down and I began to recall memories of my past. I remember living with Azar and the monks, how peaceful it was and how they taught me their ways. Then, when I grew to be the age of twelve and how I was showing more and more of Trigon in me. I then became restless and my dark side kept coming out and revealing itself. I decided to flee to earth where I assumed my home would be safe from me. But, I didn't consider that earth would be next. I made friends with other strange humans and I joined their fighting force called the Teen Titans. I assumed that saving lives now and protecting earth would make up for the horrible thing I would eventually do. Exactly one year later, I applied for a real home. I hoped to obtain foster parents and a life and family that I could enjoy. I said farewell to the titans and went on to live with Mr. and Mrs. Ross. I obtained their last name as well but, not to know that they had a son who had went to Hogwarts. They were a wizard family. I had to tell them my story and they understood. They surprisingly kept me and my strange self. I occasionally visited the Titans and told them news of my life. When I came to the age of fifteen, two years after I moved in, they decided to send me to Hogwarts for magic advancement. Lance, my adopted brother, said it would be fun and gave me pointers. I had been told everything. I was placed in a second year class because I had already passed first year with all my knowledge.
My memories flooded back into my mind and were again stowed away. I opened my eyes to see Iggy still sitting there across from me and staring at me. I stopped chanting and said "You're still here?"
"What? You thought I would leave you hear all alone and defenseless?"
"No I didn't, actually." I answered. "I'm sorry for lashing out back there. I was out of control."
"Hey, its ok. You didn't mean to do it."
"Yeah, oh, and I can use my emotions but, I have to keep control." I said as I smiled at Iggy.
"So, you still up for the Halloween feast?"
"Is there going to be dancing and do I have to wear a dress?"
"Yes to dancing and no to the dress. It would be nice to wear a skirt though."
"Ok, Lavender better have some extra clothing." Iggy laughed and stood up. He held out his hand and I grabbed it to get up. He then kissed me lightly and we walked back to the Slytherin tower. I needed to come up with an apology for Lavender if I wanted to borrow clothing from her.
We arrived at the Tower and passed through the portrait. Lavender sat in the common room, reading a book. I let go of Iggy's hand and he went to sit and talk with Fang. I walked carefully over to Lavender. I stood in front of her and said "Hey."
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
"Look," I said. "I am sorry how I acted back at the Quidtich field. I didn't mean to lash out at you like that. My evil side had gotten lose for a while and I didn't mean to do it. Trust me, I was trying to fight it the whole time." Lavender lowered her book and glared at me.
She then smiled and said "I accept your apology. Now what shall be your punishment?"
"Punishment?" Apparently Iggy still had his great hearing because when I glanced at him he shrugged and smiled wickedly.
"Yup. I say that I get to dress you in flowery clothing and bright colors."
"How do you know that all of my clothing is black and blue?"
"I did some snooping when you were unconscious." I glared at her evilly and she responded saying "I needed to borrow a shirt. Give me a break." she then grabbed my arm and started hauling me up toward our room. I looked at Fang and Iggy and mouthed "help" to them. They just smiled and waved me good-bye.
When we got to the room, Lavender threw me on my bed and started rummaging through her clothing. She pulled out a short pink plaid skirt and a tight looking black tank top. I shunned in fear of the clothing. She threw a pair of socks at me. Then a pair of black boots. I swore they went up to my knee! I was now just petrified. I swore I was going to look more like a hooker than a cutesy girl!
"Lavender?"
"Yeah." she asked without looking.
"Don't you think I'm going to look more like a hooker than a cutesy girl?"
"Oh, you may be right. It is a little inappropriate for a school occasion."
"Yeah. You just may be right." I said as she threw everything back into the bag. She began pacing and thinking of something for me to wear. Iggy was probably already ready to leave by now. But, I got an idea. "Hey, toss me those boots." I said and Lavender tossed them to me. I put them on and took off my cloak. I then took out a paintbrush from my no growing bag. I then thought of a green tank top and a black leather jacket. I also thought of some cute blue jeans with a belt. I then went to a blank wall and painted the outfit onto the wall without any paint. Lavender was amazed. I then stepped into it and came out in the outfit itself. "How do I look?" I asked her.
"Awesome. Can I try?" I nodded and handed her the brush.
She thought of an outfit and painted it onto the wall. Jeans, a purple shirt, cute sweater and some lavender heals. She strode into the wall and came out in the outfit she envisioned. "This thing is wicked cool!" she said and gave herself a twirl. "Where on earth did you get it?"
"Not earth but in my home, Azarath. It was a gift for my twelfth birthday."
"Ready?" she asked as she fixed her hair and I brushed mine real quick.
"Yup. Lets go." Then we were down the stairs in a flash.
When I walked down Iggy looked at me and said "Wow." I smiled and noticed his hair.
"Iggy?" I asked "What have you done to your white hair?"
"I dyed it black." I answered proudly "Do you like it?"
"I love it." I said and asked "How did you know I liked guys with black hair?"
"Lucky guess." he said and grabbed my hand and we were out the door.
We finally reached the doors to the dining hall. The arched doors flung open to let us enter. Iggy and I stepped through the archway to the large room. People were dancing, eating and having a blast. When we saw Harry and his friends, we went and joined them.
"Hey," said Hermione "Oh, wow, I love your jacket."
"Oh, thanks." I said looking down at it as if I had forgotten I was wearing it.
"Where on earth did you buy it? I just need to have one." she exclaimed immediately.
"Well, actually,-" I was then interrupted by someone behind me. I turned saw Draco standing before me.
"Hello." he said in a snobbish way "Why, Raven, you look stunning. May I speak with you in private?" I nodded and let go of Iggy's hand but tapping it twice before leaving to tell him to watch carefully. He nodded and I stepped aside with Draco. "Harry, Hermione, Ron." he said as we left. "Iggy." he also said in disgust. He led me far away from my friends and when we were finally at the other side of the room he said "Look, the only reason, Raven, that I couldn't save you is because Slade's army had blocked the T-car and we were forced to fight."
I crossed my arms over my chest and said "Do you think I am stupid, Draco? You know I wasn't born yesterday. Again, I saw you just standing there doing nothing and looking at me as if I deserved what I got." My eyes turned white and the warning markings appeared on my body. Draco stepped back. "Don't worry I can control it." I let my arms drop and a black magic bolt appeared in my hand. "Look, Draco, I can either shoot this bolt at you or I cannot. You can either decide to be put into the hospital wing for a couple months or you can leave my friends and I alone. Either way I am not going to let you ruin this night."
"But, I thought I was your friend." he said in a trembling voice.
"Not anymore, Draco. Now, do I make myself clear?" I said this with power in my voice and Draco only nodded and ran away into the crowd of dancing students.
I let go of the anger and rage that came up with my encounter with Draco. I rubbed my temples and leaned against the wall. My energy flooded back into the dark hole I normally locked it in for safe keeping. I opened my eyes feeling relieved of the pain being gone but, if only the scars could leave emotionally and physically. I started toward the crowd to shove my way back to Iggy and my friends. I shoved through students I knew by face and students hadn't even seen before. Some tried to stop me to dance but I just glared at them as if to say "No!" It worked most of the time but other times I would have to push them away.
"Hey!" I said when I finally reached my group. I was relieved to be out of the mob of maniacs. "So, as I was saying, Hermione-" she looked up but I was cut off by Iggy.
"Want to dance?" he asked.
"Uh, I don't dance." I said. I turned to Hermione again and said "I made the jacket." she then looked thrilled and said "Oh, can you get one for me?"
"Sure." I said. I turned back to Iggy and he motioned to the dance floor. The gleam in his eyes got me. "Fine." I said and in a flash of a millisecond we were on the dance floor and dancing to one of my favorite songs called "Dirty Little Secret."
"So, what did Draco want?" asked Iggy as he twirled me around.
"Wanted to prove himself a hero to me but, I told him off."
"Threat?"
"Yup." I said joyfully as I danced side by side with Iggy.
"You're not bad at this." he said.
"Nor are you." I said as we danced face in face and hand in hand. The song was eventually over and a slower song started up. "You Found Me." by Kelly Clarkson. I liked this song because it told the story of me very well. We started to dance slower and Iggy wrapped his arms around my waist and my arm around his neck. I leaned my head on his chest and said "The song,"
"Yeah."
"It sounds like my life." I said. "You and me."
He chuckled and said "I guess its our song from now on."
"I have had this song for the longest time and I now I have a reason to sing it." I said happily. "So, here we are that's pretty far when you think of where we've been no going back I'm fading out all that has faded me within you're by my side now everything's fine I can't believe you found me…" I sung with a perfect key. I sounded like the real thing. I guess I found another talent I have. The song ended and I unlocked our embraced swaying. I looked up at Iggy. Another upbeat song started and we headed back toward the table we were sitting at before.
"I didn't know you could sing like that." said Iggy.
"Neither did I." I said smiling at him.
"I have a surprise for you." he said and then led me out of the dining hall and into the garden that was only a way down. He sat me on a bench. I giggled a bit when he lifted me up by the waist and sat me down on the bench. Then, surprisingly he pulls out a guitar from one of the bushes and hangs it on his shoulder.
"I didn't know you played guitar." I said smiling like I had never smiled before.
"I play every now and then." he said, "But, that's not the point. I wrote you a song while you were unconscious. I did play it to you everyday but I don't think you heard me so, I shall play you "Whispers in the Dark" by yours truly." He then started singing and playing this:
Despite
the lies that you're making I
will be the one that's gonna hold you [Chorus: You feel so lonely and ragged I will be the one that's gonna
find you
Your love is mine for the taking
My
love is
Just waiting
To turn your tears to roses
I will be the one that you
run to
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
No
You'll never be alone
When darkness comes I'll light the
night with stars
Hear my whispers in the dark
No
You'll
never be alone
When darkness comes you know I'm never far
Hear
my whispers in the dark
You
lay here broken and naked
My love is
Just waiting
To
clothe you in crimson roses
I will be the one that's gonna guide you
My love is
A burning, consuming fire
I clapped joyfully for Iggy and stood up and jumped to huge him. He embraced me back and said "I guess you liked it."
"You kidding!?! I loved it!" I said.
"Oh…" said a dark cold voice. "What a precious moment." At that moment I knew that Slade was here.
