Chapter2: The Dark Rider part II

As the Mysterious woman closed her eyes she began to think back to today's events.

*** Flash back***
Rain a tall young woman with dirty blonde hair and ice blue eyes, was found riding a tall gilded Quarter horse named shadow. She wore a green tank top with a picture of two sais crossing, with long baggy jeans. She rode by another woman with rich brunette hair and chocolate eyes. She rode atop a tall Freshen. She wore a blue tank with a picture of a silver Luck Dragon, and black baggy pants. Rain looked to her companion.

"Hey Rayven, what do you say we stop here and have a break and some lunch.I'm starved." The woman finished, smiling back a chuckle. Rayven smiled as well.

"Sure sounds great to me." They then turn their horses and ride up to a weeping willow. Both women dismount then sit side by side next to the shady tree. Rayven pulled out a few sandwiches from her backpack, handing one to Rain as she began to devour hers. After they had finished their lunch, the duo sat there talking about life in general. The women were soon interrupted by the wind blowing so fierce that they were almost blown over by it. After they managed to get focused once more they saw a blue and silver portal open reviling horrible creatures racing through the swirling portal. Both women rose grabbing their guns at their waist. Firing at the unwelcome beasts.

"Rain run! I'll hold them off for as long as I can." Rain shook her head.

"No! I'm not going anywhere without you." Rayven turned her angry brown eyes toward her dear friend.

"Get out of here.that's an order!" Rain's eyes narrowed.

"You always have to be the hero don't you Rayven."

"You mean Heroine." Rayven said with a smirk.

"Now go! I'll be right behind you." Smiling at her victory of convincing her friend to come with her, she turned only to be knocked unconscious by a flying disgusting fist. Rain fell forward into the beast's arms, as Rayven fought to rescue her friend. Rayven was knocked back into the willow tree as one of the beasts tried to impale her with its sword. Rayven jumped up to the nearest branch of the willow and snapped the creature's neck with her legs. Jumping down she ran to her horse to only see that her dearest friend and sister being dragged through the portal. Leaping on her horses back she rode hard toward the portal, only to meet air. Turning her graceful mare around she stopped looking around. As a tear ran down her fair cheek she screamed only one thing.Rain. Rayven bowed her head in defeat. She had lost the only thing in her life that kept her sane. She had lost her sister. As the wind blew her obsidic colored hair, Rayven looked up. Her eyes narrowed and a frown upon her thin lips; she looked to the heavens.

"By the Goddess I swear that I shall get my sister back no matter what the cost. I will make the ones who took her from me pay! Dead or alive I will find her!" as she rode off back to her home she muttered to the wind.

"They messed with the wrong Bitch!" With that said she urged her strong mare into a run.

Once Rayven had reached her home she raced inside, up the stairs and into her room. She quickly changed, into her black tank, pants, and chaps. She then grabbed a bag, quickly filling with all sorts of weapons. After filling the bag she turned to grab her Katonah; that was hanging on the wall. Strapping it to her waist she grabbed her sais securing the to her ankles, she then went for her breast dagger. Walking to her closet she brought out her duster, putting it on she took hold of the bag and walked to the door. On her way out she grabbed her cowboy hat and her book of shadows, she then strode down the hallway and down the stairs. Rayven went out side to her faithful mare and rode back to the spot where Rain was taken.

Dismounting she pulled out her book of shadows. She turned the pages then stopped when she got to the page she wanted. Chanting the ancient words of the Wiccan spells, a light glowed from Rayven Growing brighter with each word she spoke. The wind began to blow faster, swirling around and around until a blue and silver portal appeared. Rayven then looked up from her chanting as she put the book away, mounting her mare and ridding to her destiny.

*** End Flashback ***

Rayven had just begun to drift into the dream realm when a twig snapped. Rayven stood up quickly drawing her Katonah. Turning around to scope out her surroundings she found the source of the noise to be a deer and her fawn. Lowering her sword she snorted at her jumpiness. She put her Katonah away, just realizing that she wasn't alone. Before she could unsheathe her Katonah once more, an arrow found its place in her shoulder. Wincing at the pain she buckled over and fell to her knees. As unconsciousness threatened to take over she stood ripping the arrow from its place throwing it to the ground. She drew her Katonah. Whirling around she sliced right through the body of one of the beasts that dared to kidnap Rain. More attacked, she fought them off as it began to get harder to fight away the blackness creeping upon her. Just as she thought she would give in to the blackness, she heard Rain's voice crying for help. Gritting her teeth she fought harder. Getting closer and closer to the struggling voice of her friend, she was stopped by a soaring arrow piercing her side. She cried out in pain as she ripped the arrow out, struggling to stay conscious she swung her Katonah at an Urik-hai decapitating it. Finally the bitter hand of unconsciousness took hold of Rayven. She fell to her knees, watching in slow motion as one of the beasts raised its sword to strike. Bracing herself for the impact that never came. The beast had fallen, an arrow sticking out of it head had hit its target with precise aim. The rest of the Urik-hai ran carrying Rain with them. Struggling to stand Rayven screamed.

"Rain! No!" But with no avail Rayven fell to the ground unconscious. Legolas ran up to the fallen woman. Kneeling he picked up the fallen woman. Turning to Isilond he mounted hi white steed as Isilond took hold of Storm's reins.
