A/N: I thank Ryan for reviewing this story. I promise more will be revealed about this girl that was taken hostage by Raven. Much more will be revealed. This is in the girl's point of view.
And I'm also sorry to the real D3Fan, whom I've accidentally accused him of flaming my fic. Someone must've used his name and framed him. Well, anyway, is it keeps up…well, and then I can only accept signed reviews. Oh, well, anyway, low chance of that happening!
Why did he leave me behind? I instantly got scared. It was getting dark, and the wind blew harder and harder by the minute ever since I went out to fetch firewood…what am I going to do? A fog started to build up rapidly. I was shaking all over. I had no jacket, and my skirt was just above my knees. The wind was howling and the trees turned into monsters with long, fierce, sharp hands just waiting to grab me. I ran in a direction where I thought I'd be safe, but I was wrong. A sleeper Zoid jumped up in front of me, scaring the heck out of me. It was a large Guysack, equipped with many guns. I could sense someone piloting it. Quickly, without hesitation, I ran deeper and deeper into the forest, never stopping to look back. It shot bullets at me, one-by-one. The scorpion Zoid shot a bullet right in front of me, causing me to trip and fall on my front side, dropping all the fruits I had. I then heard someone jump down from the Zoid, and pick me up. I glared daggers at him.
"Well, well, well," the pilot started, "Look what I've got here: I girl from a village collecting fruit in the middle of a forest. Should I hold her captive, my little Zoid?" For some strange reason, it hopped up and down, and clamped its claws repeatedly. I didn't have a good feeling about this. It was either he holds me captive, or his Zoid squashes me. I need Raven. Where could he be? He should've stayed with me, but I guess he's like that. I mean I've heard stories about him. People say that he doesn't have a heart, and he kills for game. Sure, he's like that, I'll admit, but I know that people are like that because they lost something in their life, or was abused one too many times. Whatever Raven lost must have been important in his life. If only there was something I could do…I wish I was stronger…I lowered my head, and murmured, "Take me as your hostage."
"That's the way to go." He was going to tie me up, but instead, he took the rope and whipped me over and over. I swear I was bleeding everywhere. Then he tied me up with the now bloody rope, and shoved me in he back seat of his Zoid. My head lowered, causing my long hair to fall to the sides of my head.
I felt tears run down my cheeks. I was so scared. "Raven…" The pilot closed the door of the cockpit, and scurried its way to where Raven was resting. He then opened the cockpit and started talking with Raven. I saw Raven nod his head, and then pointed at me. The pilot nodded and threw me out of the Zoid, causing me to get a few burns from the rough ground. "Why did you do this Raven?"
"And what was I supposed to do?" He then kicked me in the stomach, making me roll around in the dirt. Raven then untied me.
"Save me?"
"Look, little girl, I spared you because I felt sorry for you. You think I have any feelings towards you, let alone you village which got destroyed and trampled by me and Shadow?"
"I have a name, you know. It's Maru."
"Fine, Maru," he said, mocking me. "I don't care about you. You're just being a burden. You annoy me. You're a pain in the ass!"
I just sat up, shocked. I felt more hot tears run down my cheeks. Me? A burden? I didn't know what to say. I have no idea why I did this, but it seems that me hand had a mind of its own. I lifted, higher and higher it went, up to Raven's left cheek, and at a high speed, went across it. I, Maru, slapped Raven, someone that I care about. My mind also took over me. "Everyone's right!" I yelled at him, sobbing. "You are cold hearted, and mean! I tried to help out, but no! You keep pushing me to the side. I bet you don't even know this: I love you! But you don't seem to have any feelings towards me, do you? So just forget that I ever met you and good-bye!" I ran my way out of the forest, and into the next town. I was able to sleep for one night at the hotel my friend owns. SO as I went to bed, I was still crying. Crying not at what Raven did, but what I did.
"I'm sorry."
