Another OC Story. If you havent cheeked it out lately, Go read my other one "For the life of a mage".
Please Enjoy!
I vaguely remember a lady, with beautiful long crow black hair. It flew down her back in glorious waves. She smiled at me, nothing more than a small bundle. Only three years old. She then looks across to my brother. He beams up at her before she ruffles his hair. Crow black and curley. Just like her. She walked to the door, where a man, with a full facial beard and green eyes stood. He looks smart, a monocle hung down from his handkerchief pocket and his shirt was laced with gold. He rapt his arms around the lady, they smiled at each other before looking at us. The lady lifted up the chamberstick before blowing out the candles. I rubbed my eyes, all I saw were silotes before the door closed and my world went black.
That's the only memory I have of my home. Of my parents. Of a normal life. Unfortunately, My parents had made some enemies. And as a result, that night two dark crowed people came in through our window and took me and my brother away. So we would never see our parents again.
Our parents would forever be left wondering what happened to us. Were we dead? Were we alive? Were we ok? Or did we need saving?. Their minds are forever plagued with unanswered questions.
I remember waking up in a cold and damp cave the following morning, looming over me was a couple of nobles. I could tell they were nobles. I knew a noble. They had that rich perfume, perfectly groomed and all their clothing was laced gold.
"Hello, Dear, And what's your name?" The lady leaned down with a cheshire grin. I didn't know what they had done to me. But for some reason, my mind drew a complete blank. I couldn't remember my name. I couldn't remember my parents. I think I had a brother.. But i wasn't even sure of that. I looked up at the lady and shook my head.
"Mal..Mal…?" I heard someone say from besides me, I turned to see him. My brother.. Even his name was blank.
"No worries! We will call you.. Mallick. Yes. Mallick It means Lord and King!" The Man nodded his head to confirm it.
"And You, Sweetheart.. Will be called… Raven. Meaning, dark hair and wise!" The lady named me. Raven.. I suppose I could get used to it. it's the only name i have now.
"A-And you?" I finally found my voice. Quiet and timid. But there.
"I am Ms Clive. And this is my Husband, Mr Clive." She first lay a hand over her heart, as if she had told a great secret, before pointing over to "Mr Clive". Confirming that yes, that is him.
She then clicked her figures above her head, the click echoed lightly. Moments later, a dark skinned lady came running into the cave dwelling. She looked old. Gray hai, sagging skin. That sort of thing.
"Kris, This is raven and Mallick" Ms Clive announced. The lady, Kris, Nodded. She then turned to us with a hard look. That's when I realised.. She was blind. Her eyes were completely blue and yet, it was like she was looking at me.
Kris gestures for us to follow. She leads us through the caves and caverns. Eventually we ended up in a small.. Room. I suppose that's the only word I could use for it. It was damp, Cold and dreary.
Inside were 4 bunk beds. I'd never seen a bunk bed before, None of my friends had them. At least.. That i can recall.
The beds looked to be made of straw, covered in a thin sheet and ratty blankets. That's when I noticed. Sat on one of these uncomfortable beds were two youngsters. Maybe a few years older than myself and my brother.
The Young girl jumped down off the bed. It was the top bed. I remember because I thought it was so brave. "Hey there, Couple of newbies, Kris?"
Kris just grunted before walking off. "Gonna.. Take that as a there. Im Taylor. Welcome to room 2.4. Home to the forgotten and discarded!" She said it with such enthusiasm, I almost believed it was a good thing. I looked at her. Observed her. Studied her.
Taylor was pale. Every so pale.. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought she was born here and never seen the light of the sun. She had.. Straw like hair. Yellow and tacky. She had greenish blue eyes. Or only one greenish blue eye.. The other had a nasty scar over it. It went from her forehead, over her right eye and down close to her chin. It was red and angry. At that moment I wondered what her story was.
"That's ranger" She pointed at the boy who was still sitting on the bed. He looked shy and timid. He just nodded at me. Well. at us. He too was pale, but with shockley bright orange hair. It was so bright, even the sun couldn't compare. "He doesn't talk much.. And you two are?"
For the second time that day, I spoke up. "Im.. Im raven.."
"And, I'm mallick!" My brother said, sounding far more convincing than myself.
"It's lovely to meet you both. Pick a bed, 'kay?" She jumped up onto a top bunk, so i took the bed under hers. And my brother is the one across from mine, under Ranger. "Get some rest, i'll explain the rest later.
And so I closed my eyes. I tried to remember my life. My mother. My father. My friends. But at last, it was all dark. It was like a black shadow was over me, stopping me from being me. Hopefully all my questions will be answered when I awake. Hopefully.
