A/N: Hi all well yeah as you probably noticed I changed the summary, I didn't like the thought of Vincent and Septhiroth miraculously appearing in Ravyn's time and I also broke the promise I made to my self pertaining to not updating until I had at least 5 reviews that teaser is just too short and when I'm searching for new fan fics to read I seldom read the short ones.... so I'm updating a few times.... but never the less review!!

Requiem Imprisoned

Chapter 2: Transpiring Rain

Ring....ring!

"Merow!"

"Hey, Avell! How are you?" Ravyn asked, slightly bored, but then that was why she had called in the first place.

"Fine...but so very sleep deprived. I think it's finally gone to my head!"

"Huh. Really me too. I know how about us two crazy, sleep deprived idiots get together and have some fun!" Ravyn said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster on such a dreary day.

Rain plummeted with a cold, nonexistent mercy on the land around her. The constant drum of it on the roof cruelly drove her to the brink of her sanity again and again. Endless, rolling gray clouds let no light through to greet the world below.

"When?" Avell asked bringing Ravyn back out of her melancholy thoughts.

"Today, now! It's only Saturday and my parents are away on their honeymoon so we have the house all to our selves. Besides this fucking rain is driving me crazy. I'm gonna have to blow something up soon!" Ravyn said half jokingly. She, Avell and two other friends had long ago each chosen an element to 'embody' based upon their personalities and past experiences.

Quite quickly they decided that Avell's element should be water. Mostly because her temper proved over and over again that is could be as ruthless and fickle as the sea. Yet at other times the honey eyed girl could be placid and fiercely protective. Thus Water. The other two friend had ended up with earth and air.

Ravyn on the other hand received fire. She had thought the pairing was strange but loved it none the less. She had a strange obsession with the element but other than that Ravyn could not see what connected them.

'I really miss those other two. I wish they hadn't moved. The ring feels split in half , elements divided....keh'

"Yeah sure you will." Avell said cynically, "I'll be other in a while, around 5:30. I have to clean my room, stupid parents."

Ravyn glanced at the alarm clock by the side of her bed (which she presently lounged on). 4:45 PM stared back at her.

"Yeah sure." Ravyn replied, "See you then."

"Bye."

Before Ravyn could say bye back the phone went dead. 'In a hurry as usual... I have nothing to do until 5:30. I might as well try to sleep. I'm still tired even though that dream man didn't visit me again. I want to finish the dream but not right now. I need some kind of rest! Geeze!'

Ravyn curled up on top of her day bed, hunching down inside the black jacket she always wore. Her burgundy locks pooled around her head like a halo of blood. Deep blue eyes flecked with green gazed at the purple wall of her room. Slowly Ravyn's thick black eyelashes slid closed as sleep's lullaby stole all conscious thought.

I am alone... No one could love me... No one would want to... Th-this monstrous body... This life of....sin... I ...I deserve to be alone... payment for my crimes... I-I no... longer....wish....to....

"Ravyn... Ravyn! My god I never thought you could sleep this soundly! RAVY- oh your awake!" Avell said as she shook Ravyn without remorse for the girl's lost sleep.

"Nuggg... How the fuck did you get in the house?" Ravyn said slightly annoyed and very pissed off.

"My, Ravyn you really are stupid! You left the door unlocked. I knocked a few times but you didn't answer then I tried the handle." Avell said as a look of concern flashed across her face. "You scared me...you...didn't-"

"No," Ravyn interjected, then to change the subject, "What do you want to do?"

Avell's curly chestnut colored hair frizzled forward in front of her face as she bowed her head. Her honey colored eyes flecked with a deep almost red brown were hidden behind the mass of hair as she said, "Well you probably won't want to watch it but I rented... QUEEN OF THE DAMNED!"

A shriek could be heard as Ravyn jumped out of bed in delight. "You stupid twit of course I want to watch it ...NOW!"

"Yeah, Yeah. I thought so; good music, hot men acting like vampires, the special effects... perfection with out plot." Avell said as Ravyn popped the DVD into her computer.

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^

As midnight neared both extremely sleep deprived girls felt exhaustion dampening their party. The house was silent save for the faint chiming of Celtic music in the CD player. Outside the window rain that could have been mistaken for ink fell more softly than before. Flickering slightly the street corner lamp held the only light near the house. Dark blue nearly black painted the sky leaving small holes for the stars and moon.

Ravyn stifled a yawn as she glanced at Avell who was happily drawing away. "Avell lets get some sleep, please. I'm so tired I could pass out!"

"Same here. I'm not even going to change just fall asleep and hope that the dream doesn't visit me." Avell said her wariness evident.

"What dream?" Ravyn asked half brought out of her sleepy trance.

"I've been having these strange dreams lately. They're kind of creepy."

"Me too... but lets talk about it in the morning. I need rest!" Ravyn said the final comment as she once again curled up on her bed, watching as Avell did the same on her mattress. Almost as soon as the music turned of and the light went out Ravyn felt slumber take her hand.

"Not this again!" Ravyn's dream self fumed out loud. "Oh! this is different... I wonder why?"

Her dream self looked up snow fell from an pitch-black sky. She held out her hand to catch one. Her eyes widened as the blood red flake came to rest the center of her upturned palm.

"Red snow."

" I... all my sin...it's too much... I don't deserve to... l-live anymore... I hate this monstrous body... my punishment."

"Who's there?" Ravyn called out to the surrounding dreamscape. It was that voice again and the anguish seemed worse the before.

"I could ask you the same thing." Said a voice close behind her. Ravyn tried to spin around but her dream body oddly would not budge.

"What's your name?" The quiet voice of fury and grief enclosed in silk asked back at her.

"I'll tell you if you tell me." Ravyn said trying to keep her fear to a minimum, it was after all only a dream.

"Your right it is only a dream and since you are here to turn my dream into another plaguing nightmare I will not give you the satisfaction of knowing my name. Besides, oh, dream demoness you should already know it."

Ravyn suddenly felt an immense pity and even empathy for the owner of the satin voice behind her.

"Ravyn."

"..."

"My name is Ravyn."

"..."

Ravyn's eyes widened as the presence at her back vanished. The dreamscape came to an abrupt end as a green light enveloped her. Pain riddled her body as soft green light carried her. Ravyn thought she caught a quick glimpse of Avell amidst the immeasurable green.

Suddenly she felt a cold unforgiving ground beneath her sprawled out form. Rain pelted her from above with a calculated aim.

'What?' Ravyn's mind thought just as everything cut into black.
