Chapter 7: the book
ch7
When Raven woke up, she was back in Bowser's bed.
Bowser Jr. was right next to her.
"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly.
She nodded quietly, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
Bowser came into the room.
He said nothing but sat on the edge of the bed.
The Koopa looked as though he was deep in thought.
"Papa what's wrong?" Bowser Junior questioned.
Bowser shook his head.
What would I have done, If she had fallen?
Would I have jumped in after her?
After all, it's not like Lava will actually KILL me.
An image flashed through Bowser's head.
Bowser saving her from the lava and her giving him a thank you kiss on the snout.
Then it was Raven, screaming as she burned alive.
He remembered the agony he went through every time Mario had caused him to fall into lava.
He shuddered slightly.
"Thank you."
Bowser was brought out of his daydreams by the black haired girl's words.
She grinned weakly at him.
"Uh...no problem Princess…glad to oblige." He finished lamely.
Raven smiled.
"For that, you get an entire chapter in my book...no two!"
She pulled out her manuscript out from under the pillow Bowser Jr. was laying on, causing the little Koopa to let out a squeak as he was sent tumbling off the pillow.
Pulling her pen out from her bag, she proceeded to write furiously.
Bowser junior giggled.
"I'm gonna go play!" He announced before hopping off the bed and exiting the room.
Bowser spoke up suddenly.
"Can I hear this..story? Ludwig said it was quite interesting. "He asked shyly.
Nodding, Raven flipped back to the first page.
In a clear voice, she repeated the story she had previously told.
Bowser remained silent through the story.
Meanwhile in a dark scary castle, a Koopa named Damien was all alone ,save for his children.
It was Damien's goal to marry Princess Plum and rule both the Night Land and the Flower kingdom.
But Princess Plum had rejected him far too many times.
One day,when he went to capture Plum she had slapped him and called him a beast.
Heartbroken, he threw himself from the top of his castle.
Angel, who was flying, saw him fall.
Like a marble streak, she zoomed and grabbed him.
"And thats all I have so far." Raven shut the book, her voice laced with regret.
Bowser spoke, his voice sounding sad.
"That...was beautiful.."
