OPEN YOUR EYES Chapter 10. Dreaming of Darkness and Memory

Raven shifted and felt Moonstar's weight leaning against him. He heard her sigh and press up against him harder. Shadow's easy breathing could be heard from across the room as well.
The three were in the hut where they had been staying. Raven and Moonstar were sitting together thankful for each other's presence right then for the night was cold. The stars shone outside with such brightness that some hurt to look at. The two moons glowed red as well. It was surprising that the stars were out and not overcast by the moons.
Raven turned Moonstar to look up at him. Her eyes were kind and caring.
"What is it?" She asked for his eyes were troubling.
Raven's often hard and stern face softened into a genuine smile. No sneer or look of hate passed over his face and lips. Only a look of kindness for he cared for Moonstar just as much as he had for Reece or did for Shadow. There were so few people in his life that he felt this way about—Moonstar was often grateful that he was there with her for she needed him as much as he needed her.
"I just wanted reassurance that this was real," Raven whispered brushing a piece of her blue hair away from her forehead.
Moonstar took the kindness without thought. She turned and looked at him. She tucked her legs underneath her and looked at him. Her silver eyes were concerned.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
Raven chuckled softly and pulled on knee up to rest his arm on it. The other leg was stretched out in front of him. It was a pose that he often took.
"Things just seem so perfect sometimes—maybe I am just being stupid but things are so much different now that I am with you—here," Raven said slowly looking at the barren wooden wall opposite of him.
Moonstar looked at him in wonder and moved closer to him. She turned his face gently to face hers.
"Am I really all that special to you Raven?" She asked him seriously.
His looked turned serious but Moonstar picked up the laughter that was dancing in his eyes.
"You know that you are Moonstar. . ." He said trailing off.
His simple words hung in the air with such meaning. They gazed into each other eyes before Raven leaned down quickly and kissed her tenderly. Moonstar's hand found Raven's cheek and she caressed as their kiss went on.

Suddenly just as the memory had started it was gone. It had only been a pleasant memory that Raven had been remembering from not so long ago.
Now he was pitched through darkness to sit with nothing. He was all alone. Nothing surrounded him and the bitter cold of the void bit into his very soul. There was nothing that he could do—he was helpless to it all—.
