The solitary sound that could be heard, was that of the beeping machines. Raven sat
beside Melody's hospital bed for what seemed like hours. Poor Raven didn't realize that it
had in fact been days.
Lita and Edge walked into Melody's room. Lita still had many bruises but they were all
healing. Her stitches were another story. They were no where near the recovering period
yet. Edge sat beside Raven.
"They charged the guy with vehicular man slaughter." And the room fell quiet again. None
knew what to say. This has been the most trying time for all of them and Raven was
hanging on the brink of insanity.
Melody was brain dead. And Harmony was gone. They said the only other option was for
Raven to give permission to pull the plug. But he kept refusing. And no one dared ask him
why. Vince McMahon had been by several times. He'd pleaded with Raven, that the only
way to end his suffering and everyone else's was to take Melody off life support. But
every time he tried, Raven would shake his head and just squeeze Melody's hand. He was
praying for some kind of miracle. But there was none in sight.
Lita started crying and ran out of the room. Edge sighed and stood up to go after her. He
put his hand on Raven's shoulder.
"There was nothing you could've done. You didn't know it was going to happen." Edge
left his friend and walked out after Lita.
Raven lowered his head and closed his eyes. He stood up and placed his chair back up
against the wall. The he gently climbed into the bed with Melody. He buried his head in
her neck and started sobbing. The tears refused to stop. He grabbed onto Melody and
cried even harder. He then slowly reached his hand over and hit the button to call the
nurse.

Raven soon after took a year off from his job. No one blamed him of course. He turned
into a hermit, spending all his time in the house that him and Melody had purchased soon
after they were married. He'd only ventured out of his house to get a new tattoo. Two
black music notes. And over one written in red was Harmony. And over the other one was
written Melody, this one had a small rose beside it.
When Raven returned to the WWF he was given a thunderous applause from everyone in
the arena and all of the superstars walked out on stage to cheer for him. Raven looked
around at the thousands of people screaming and giving him a standing ovation. Raven
licked his lips and raised the microphone up to his mouth.
"Trust and hate, and love and fate, and I don't understand. Social grace, the human race,
confuse me. These words I speak, bring forth a world of emotions. Emotions of dreams
lost, dreams found, and dreams I'll never see. So it is written. So it shall come to pass,
That on this day, I retire from the wrestling life. Quote the Raven, nevermore."
No one was shocked but the all showed him the respect that he deserved. And they all said
their silent good-byes, to the man Scott Levy.

A/N: that was an actual speech from Raven except the part about "That on this day I retire
from wrestling". I threw that in. But the rest were from the man himself. Don't hate me
for what I wrote. It is fiction after all.....
