Chapter 6: The Raven Revealed
It had taken a while, but Sarah had finally gotten a fire going. She was in a small clearing in the woods behind her house. She often went there when she felt like having a little adventure. Even if it wasn't really an adventure, it felt a little like one and it ensured that she would be alone, since no one knew about the spot. She had long ago built a fire pit for night time forays, and now she had a nice sized fire going and was staring into the flames.
Slowly, she reached into the box and drew out its contents, arraying the items before her. All her childhood toys, her memories lay before her and before the fire in which they would burn. This was it, all she had to do was toss them in and there would be no return. Looking over it all, she let her mind wander over all the good times, and felt her eyes fill with tears as she picked up the red bound book with gold lettering, framed by fire, it felt strange.
"Damnit, its just a book!" she growled, wiping a stray tear on her sleeve. "It's just a stupid book!"
"Oh I don't know," a voice behind her chimed in, "I read it once. I kinda liked it."
Jumping to her feet and stumbling dangerously close to the fire, Sarah witnessed the hooded figure, clad in black, and the source of the melodious voice, as it emerged from the woods behind her. She gulped, remembering the night she had followed this very figure into her own fantasy.
"Who are you? How did you find me? What do you want?"
"Questions, questions, so many questions," the figure chuckled, strolling around the fire, taking a seat on the other side. "Alright, to take care of the first one." gloved hands pushed the hood down to the shoulders, revealing a soft, alabaster face framed by midnight hair.
"Nikki!" Soft laughter issued from her mirthful smile. "I love that name, don't you. But it's not mine. I am Anikara. As for how I found you, well, I followed you." Sarah's brows knit, but she said nothing, so Anikara continued. "And as for what I want, well, I have come to make you an offer." She cocked an eyebrow as a gloved hand emerged from the shadows that were her robes and displayed her triangular silver amulet, gleaming in the firelight. "And I think it may interest you."
A/N: Like I said, sorry its short, but there will be more.unless you don't review, in which case *evil grin* bwahahahahaha!!!
