Zoe looked out the car window, rain was pouring down outside.
"I'm sure Zoe and Raven will get along."her mother said cheerfully from the front seat.
"I'm not sure,"another woman, who had CLAIMED to be her sister, the didn't look alike at all, sighed,"Raven has a bit of an attitude."
"What girl their age doesn't?"her father asked, the only one sitting in the back seat with her,"Besides, didn't you say Raven was a tomboy?"
"That, dear brother, is putting it lightly."her aunt said dryly,"This girl goes out wind surfing during hurricanes, and I CAN'T keep her inside. I'm suprised she hasn't gotten struck by lightning."
"Are you sure it's a good idea for those two to share a room?"her mother asked.
"It's either that or share with Mya or Katrina, and their three and four years old."
'Great,'Zoe mentally hissed,'I can stay with a hyperactive child or a demon, which one,.................demon, maybe the boys were right.'
The car stopped. She looked out to see a japanese style house (kinda like Rika's). There was a nice garden in front of it.
"We can get your stuff out in the morning,"her aunt said sweetly,"just grab one bag and head in."
Zoe grabbed her backpack out from under the seat and got out. Once the door opened she heard ALOT of yelling coming from the house. The door suddenly opened and a four year old girl burst through the door and latched onto her legs.
'Cute.'she mentally hissed.
"Hi! I'm Katrina!"the little girl said happily,"You're Zoe, aren't you? Will you be staying in my room or Mya's cause she says you're staying with her and you're staying with me, right?"
"Can you PLEASE get off my foot."Zoe said as sweetly as possible.
"Katrina, get in here!"a girl's voice shouted from the house,"I am NOT going to take care of you if you get sick again!"
The small girl immediately unlatched from Zoe's legs and ran to her mother,"Mommy, Raven's being mean again!!"
Zoe made her way into the house, in a word, messy. Toys were scattered everywhere. Three boys, all with short brown hair, sat on the floor playing with trucks. Another young girl with the same color hair sat in a chair coloring. She then noticed a girl about her age, sitting on the couch strumming away at a guitar. She had waiste length black hair, streaked with white. She had a slight tan and scars ran up and down her arms. She was looking down at her guitar, or her hands, which were covered by black, fingerless gloves.
"Don't even think in twerp."the older girl, who Zoe guessed was Raven, hissed at the yunger girl moved to run up to her,"And that goes double for you Katrina!"
"MOMMY!!"the little girl yelled,"WAVEN'S BEING MEAN AGAIN!!"
"And she won't stop playing that stupid guitar!"the oldest boy added.
"Atleast my mother isn't a cheating whore."Raven hissed under her breath,"Welcome to your worst nightmare, Zoe."
"Thanks,"Zoe said sarcasticly.
"Raven, why don't you show Zoe your room?"her aunt asked, walking in with an armful of bags.
"Whatever."Raven sighed, getting up,"Follow me."
"You don't like them, do you?"Zoe asked, catching up with the girl.
"What was your first clue?"Raven snarled,"Miranda isn't even my mother, and those little brats are the kids of a man that hates me."
"What about your real mother?"Zoe asked.
"She died in a car crash three years ago,"Raven said plainly,"my dad took me in, then he vanished a few months later. It took Miranda less than two months to get remarried. She's a regular baby factory, I get a new pest once a year. The next one's due in February of all the months."
"Wow, I'm sorry."Zoe sighed as Raven opened a door.
The room was little less than tidy. Papers, paints, and clothes were scattered here and there. A bunk bed was set up in the corner of the room. There was one window that looked like it had been cut out of the wall. A desk was set up underneath it with a black and purple laptop on it. Pictures were pinned up all over the walls.
"This room used to be a closet."Raven said flatly, leaning her guitar against a wall,"Mirada had two closets full of clothes already when Dad took me in, so, he sold all her clothes in here, put in a window, and let me have this for my room, Miranda's hated me ever since. When the brats were born she made me help build their rooms."
Zoe looked around, her eyes fell on a picture of a young girl, about seven years old with short black hair just developing white streaks sitting on the shoulders of a man with shoulder length black hair,"Is that your dad?"
"Yeah,"Raven smiled, picking up the picture,"we took it right before he vanished. Everyone besides me thinks he's dead."
"He looks nice."
"He was, he taught me how to wind surf when I was three. I was taking on full grown storms by the time I was five."
"Your mom,.......I mean, Miranda, mentioned you went out during storms alot."
"They think I'll get hurt, but I know how to take care of myself. I'll probably go out tonight if this wind gets much stronger. I could take you out on my boat, save you the torment of dinner."
"You'd let me?"
"Sure, you're not much like Miranda or her sister, you'd probably have fun."
A lightning bolt struck outside, lighting up the room just enough for Zoe to get a good look at Raven's eyes, one was yellow and the other was purple,"Whoa!"
"My eyes."Raven said knowingly.
"Sorry."
"It's ok, I'm used to it. Well, that lightning means it's time to go."Raven smirked and opened the window,"Follow me."
~*~Ten minutes later~*~
Raven and Zoe ran down the docks. The rain was pouring down. Raven quickly lead her to a black catameran with white lightning bolts all over it. Another lightning bolt revealed the name, Wind Guardian.
"Come on!"Raven yelled over the storm, jumping onto the boat.
Zoe quickly followed. Raven untied the boat and grabbed the steering wheel. The boat took off full speed, right into the waves. Once they were out of sight of the island Raven stopped the boat and dropped the anchors.
"Wow, those waves are huge!"Zoe said as a wave crashed next to the boat.
"I know, the bigger the better."Raven laughed, grabbing a black and white windsurfing board off a wall,"Make sure you have a really good grip on something or you're down below deck if a wave hits the boat, though that rarely happen."
Without another word she got on the board and shoved off the deack. She vanished for a moment before appearing on top of a huge wave.
~*~Back at Raven's house~*~
"ZOE!!! RAVEN!!! DINNER!!!"Miranda yelled, no reply,"Oh no."
"What?"Zoe's mother asked worriedly.
"Either the girls are ignoring us or,.............Raven's taken her out wind surfing."Miranda whispered.
"IN A STORM LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!"Zoe's mother yelled angrily.
"Unfortunately Raven does this alot,"a young man said from the table, his short brown hair soaked from the rain,"but she never takes anyone out with her."
"And you let her?"Zoe father hissed angrily.
"She's a little hard to control."Miranda sighed,"Ever since I married Aaron she's been crazy."
"She won't accept the fact that her father is dead and Miranda has moved on."Aaron groaned,"Three years of torment with that girl."
"Why are we just sitting here, we should be going after them!"Zoe's mother yelled.
"It wouldn't do any good, Marlene."Miranda said, (once again real name is not know) "They'll be back in a few hours."
"How can you be so sure?"Marlene asked.
"Three years of this gets you that way."Aaron replied.
~*~Four hours later~*~
Everyone, minus Zoe and Raven, are sitting in front of a large fireplace, awaiting the return of the runaway girls.
"We're home!"the familiar voice of Raven rang through the house.
A few seconds later the soak girls walked into the room, wringing out their hair.
"ZOE!"both of her parents shouted running up to the girl and hugging her.
"Mom, dad, LET ME GO!"Zoe shouted.
"Zoe!"her mother snapped,"What's gotten into you."
"One, she's STILL mad at you for making her move."Raven hissed.
"Two, I'm just fine and going out took my mind off the friends YOU took me away from."Zoe hissed,"And three I.HATE.YOU."
With that both girls walked up to their room,"AND DON'T BOTHER US!" the door slammed.
"That was amazing!"Zoe shouted, sitting down in a chair.
"Yeah, it was cool,"Raven smiled,"and it was nice having someone out there on the water with me."
"Could you teach me houw to wind surf?"Zoe asked.
"Sure, classes start tomorrow at seven a.m. sharp, we'll stop a Joseph's place on the way for breaksfast. All we've got here is organic junk."
"I guess health food kicks run in the family."
"Yeah, but we need sugar to survive."
"Too true."
