you have no heard off sorry it took so long!
OPEN YOUR EYES... Chapter 7. Deceit
"What do you mean the alarm was tripped falsely?" Raven nearly yelled at Toren.
They were back at the hide out. Raven, Shadow, and Toren were all standing at the base of the Genobreaker which was now standing on the elevator platform.
Toren nodded then preceded to explain, "Someone set off the alarm. We don't know who it was or why they did it but they did. . ."
Raven's eyes seemed to turn a darker shade of violet with his anger.
"So that means I was wandering around for the last five and a half hours for nothing. This is bullshit!" Raven said pushing past Toren and heading towards his room.
He doubted that he would find Moonstar there but still. . .
Raven was right when he got to the room no one was there. Everything was just how they had left it. Raven leaned against the doorframe and peered into the dark room. Light streamed in from behind him casting shadows on everything. He sighed.
"To think that the last few hours of my life could have been leaving here opposed to trying to defend it," Raven said to Shadow.
The orgainoid growled in return and Raven smirked. He leaned off of the doorframe and headed down the hall to look for Moonstar. He wanted to see that she was alright and had made out the false alarm fine. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Moonstar coughed and choked as she sat in the cave. Dust and darkness swirled around her.
'How could I have been so blind?' She asked herself choking and gasping for breath.
The dust was clogging in her throat and she could barely breath.
'If I don't get out of here soon. . .' She added looking around in the darkness.
If she did not get out of here soon she would die. The air was stuffy and cramped for the cave was very small. Moonstar could walk to the back of it in ten strides. She would run out of air or die from starvation. Either way it was a grim thought.
'Not unless I am found!' She thought suddenly, 'Raven will know that I am not there and come looking for me!'
They her thoughts turned to the what if. She shook her head trying to clear them but they would not leave. What if he did not reach her in time? What if he was held up with Van? What if? What if? She shook her head again.
"I cannot do that the thing I need to do is start to try and at lease try to find a way out of here," She said to herself in the darkness.
Feeling along the wall she found the boulders that were blocking her from freedom. She started to dig. . . *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Have you seen Moonstar?" Raven asked Toren.
Raven had been searching for nearly an hour now for her in every place he could think of for her. He was worried that she was in trouble
"I sent her out to check on a radio tower she is probably not back yet give her another hour," Toren told him no even looking up from his clipboard.
Raven muttered something and turned away. A figure emerged out of the shadows saying, "Is Raven worried about the poor little girl?"
It was Tristana. There was an evil smile on her face and Raven froze. Toren had walked away and it was just the two of them in the small hall.
'She knows something she has to! It was probably her that did it!' Raven thought to himself locking eyes with the woman.
Raven just walked away. He did not want to assume things to quickly even if his old ways told him to. He would wait out the hour until Moonstar came back.
It was not until two hours later when it was dark and no one else was out that Raven went looking for Tristana. His eyes were alight with fire and his fists were clenched as he came upon her in the hallway. Shadow was not with him. Raven had told him to stay in the room.
"Where is s she?" Raven demanded blocking Tristana's path with his arm against the wall.
"Whatever are you talking about Raven dear?" She asked him with a sly smile.
"Don't give me that shit Tristana you know as well as hell what I am talking about?" He told her with malice in his voice.
Tristana moved closer to Raven and looked up at him.
"Does it really mean that much to you?" She asked him her voice sweet.
Raven stood frozen looking down at her. His whole body was tense.
"I am going to ask you nicely one more time Tristana where is Moonstar?" Raven said his voice low and threatening.
"Would you really hurt me Raven?" Tristana asked her eyes searching his.
He shoved her against the wall and held her there.
"Yes," Was all that he said.
"Are you sure that you want to save her?" She asked, "I mean you could always have me."
She kissed him right there and then. When she pulled back Raven's look had not changed.
"Now tell me that you would rather have that than Moonstar," Tristana said with a smug smile.
She thought that she had won well Raven was about to prove her wrong.
"That was nothing Tristana. Trust me no matter what you did or say you will do I would choose Moonstar over you every time. Open you eyes and see that I don't like you and in fact you are nothing compared to her. I love her now where is she?" Raven asked her his tone level and calm but still threatening.
Tristana looked at him in shock and then in rage. Her light green eyes held hate. She shoved into him and tried to make him move out of her way. Raven shoved her roughly up against the wall.
"I asked you a question care to tell me the answer?" He asked her holding her hard.
She looked into his violet eyes.
"She is as good as dead. . ." Tristana started with a smile her voice laughing, "If you go and look for her in a cave near the destroyed radio tower she will likely be dead. . ."
Tristana laughed and Raven slammed her against the wall again.
"It was you then who did all that?" He asked her his voice hard, "You did all that just to have me?"
Tristana laughed and nodded.
"Are you sure that you still want someone as dead as her?" She asked him with another smile.
She tried to kiss him but Raven shoved her away and took off down the hall at a run.
"Shadow!" Raven yelled.
The orgainoid appeared and took Raven to the Genobreaker. He had to find Moonstar before it was too late. . .
