What are you looking here for? Just start reading chapter five! Oh, and, as you can see, it's pretty short. Anyway, on with this chapter.

Chapter Five

Back in this room again. Could this get any worse? But then again, the raven's here, so I guess it can get worse. Although.

"Never fear," it said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Master's here."

I turned around and saw what the raven was talking about. Who it was talking about.

Wait.

This can't be right. But it is.

The master is.Zero.

"Now that you have seen him, you may never tell. I will take my leave. Farewell, farewell." With that, the annoying and creepy raven left the chamber.

Zero was staring at me. Him? Why him? Well, I guess it makes sense. But how?

"So, you've found me at last," said Zero.

"Huh?"

"This was all a plan," he said.

"A plan to do what?" I asked.

"A plan to get you."

"Get me? For what?"

Zero just stared back at me. His eyes turned pure black and he began to shrink. Is that even possible? But he did. Why? Uh-oh. What's that black stuff comin' from his arms? Holy shit, they're feathers! Holy crap, he's turning into a raven! A raven?

Zero cawed and flew up. Can he talk? He landed on the chamber door. Now what's gonna happen?

He stared down at me. Soon enough he flew back down and turned into Zero in his long, black robes.

"I have a pet raven. HAD a pet raven," he said.

"What does this have to do with me?" I asked.

"I needed to find someone who I could 'trust'. But of course, I couldn't trust anyone. So, when you were awake, I was still asleep. But my raven appeared in my dream to send me a message."

"A message about what?"

"Hang on, hang on, I'm getting there. Rave told me to get someone to believe in him."

"Now I believe in him."

"Not necessarily."

"Huh?"

"In order to believe in MY raven, you have to SEE him."

"But I already have."

"That wasn't Rave. That was another raven."

"Another raven?"

"Yes, one of Rave's friends."

"Then where is Rave?"

"You have to find him. But until you do, I'm afraid you'll be stuck here with me."

"What are you going to be doing?"

"Watching you."

Great. I'm stuck here to look for a stupid raven. "Ow!" I turned to Zero. "What was that for?"

"He's not stupid."

"You mean you can read my mind?"

"I don't mean anything, but yes, I can."

"How?"

"Because I'm in your dream and dreams occur in minds."

"Ooooookaaaay."

I walked over to the shelf filled with books. One by one the books hit the floor as I pulled them out. Why was this my first choice? 'Cause it's a book shelf. If you don't get it, then think about mystery games and movies.

"I see what you're aiming for. But I can't wait to see what you'll try next."

I turned to look at Zero. His voice was very intimidating at the moment. Ignoring what he said, I continued to let the books fall from the shelf and onto the floor. This was going to be a long dream.

Wow, that was really short. I couldn't think of much to happen. This story is almost over. Two or three more chapters. Short story, huh? Well, review! Or if you're here without having read the chapter yet, read and review!
