Another poem in this chap. Thanks for reviewing, even if it was one
review. I really don't mind though. My sensitive side is now a muse. She
goes by Sera.
Chap 2~~~Forgotten Hope
Suddenly Dib stopped feeling the rain. It was like it had stopped suddenly. He looked up to see an umbrella of midnight blue color. Swirls of silver, gold, and black decorated it.
He turned to see a girl a little shorter than him, about an inch. Her hair was a raven black like his but her bangs were streaked with blue and purple. Her bangs were the longest part of her hair that was out, the other pieces were placed in a long braid down her back and the ends were died blue and purple too. But along with her hair, two odd curls, wire thin and raven black, came off to rest beside her face, reminding him of his sister's violet hair. A small trinket was clasped around the right curl and glinted in what light there was.
She wore a pair of zip off baggies, most definitely guys pants. A tie-died t-shirt with a dragon on it clung to her form, though it revealed nothing. A dragon pendent hung loosely around her neck and it glinted with a light of its own.
She glared at him from over top of her small-framed glasses, dark, stormy, icy blue eyes challenged him.
"You know, jumping never helps anyone." She said softly.
(Soft spoken, Hidden dreams, And unnoticed token, Forgotten in the seams.)
"And how would you know?" Dib asked her bitterly. He sat on the rail his back toward her body and her eyes. "Because I thought of that decision several times myself and never could make that last jump." She replied as soft as the first time. "Yeah, and I should believe someone who just came up behind me?" Dib muttered turning his head to her with a glare. His amber eyes seemed to pierce her skin because she shivered. "Believe wouldn't be the word. I would figure trust. Please. I have seen enough death in my life and enough pain to last me. I don't want to see someone with so much to live for die because of his past." She replied and looked down to the ground.
(Blessed to me you came, Looking over my past, Forgetting all but my name, You saw through the shell I had cast.)
"What is the point? If I live I'll just be ignored and ridiculed and if I die no one will care." "No one will care? I have just met you! I can read your whole life by the look in your eyes. You have been through less than I've been through though. Jumping won't help. If you think giving up and letting them win will help, go right ahead! But if you don't then you probably won't regret it later. No one is going to stop you; no one will try. But if you listen to the one person, just one small voice in a crowded room, that is actually giving a damn about whether you live or throw yourself to a true lie, then maybe you would understand!" the girl growled. Her eyes flashed with fire and fear.
"But if you want to I'll leave and live with the knowing that I let someone die." She then pulled a baseball cap out of a pocket somewhere and placed it on her head backwards. She then started to walk away.
Dib sat there another moment letting the rain slide down his face and plastered hair. He knew that she was right. Maybe there was a reason to live.
He slowly got off the rail and looked down into the river that might have been his resting place.
(You seem to know me better than I know me, You knew how I felt, I saw that you had the key, To open the lost feelings unfelt.)
Dib noticed the rain seemed to stop again. He turned around to see her standing there. She smiled a smile of caring and understanding. Right then and there everything seemed to stop for a moment.
"Come on. My place is not far. You need to dry off and get yourself warm." She said.
He looked at her for a few moments and nodded in silence. And stepped more under the umbrella. And they started to walk off.
For about twenty minutes they walked back the direction Dib had came. There was a steady stillness between them but it didn't seem to matter at the moment. For some odd off reason Dib was glad that he was alive and she had come by when she did.
The girl stopped a moment and turned to Dib. "Here we are. Even though this is an apartment, I have the best spot in the whole complex." She said and smiled.
"You do?" he asked and mentally punched himself for the question.
"Yeah. The owner said that it was haunted and wouldn't let me move in. I told her that I didn't mind and they would be at least some company. The owner looked at me and replied, 'If you can live in it for a week and not run away, I'll pay for the place and its bills. The only thing you have to worry about is its inspections and your own food.'" She said with a small laugh and walked to the door.
"You're kidding me." Dib said with a small smile he had almost forgot he had.
"Nope. I am telling the truth. I've been the place for about 4 months." she replied as they walked into the lobby. She shook her umbrella and jumped at a voice.
"There you go again. You just had to get my floor wet and muddy. After I cleaned this place just five minutes ago." it said with a little humor.
"But." the girl replied.
"But nothing. Now you better get yourself up to you place before your friend catches his death of cold." and with that the voice laughed.
Dib turned to see a very tall woman with black hair, though it was not all black. Silver flashed like highlights and liquid silk in it. She smiled at him kindly.
"Sorry for the floor. If you want I could come back down here to clean it up Mrs. Draphit." she said to the woman.
"No, no. I was only kidding Ravwrin. Now you get him up in your home before he does catch a cold. Look at him, he is shaking like a leaf." Mrs. Draphit said. "And if you need anything, just ring down."
'So her name is Ravwrin.' Dib thought to himself. 'I should tell her my name too.'
"Come on." Ravwrin said and took Dibs hand in hers. She pulled him to an elevator and pushed the button.
The elevator came down and stopped, but not without first letting an oriental couple off. Dib watched as Ravwrin bowed to them. Bowing back the man and woman smiled and started to walk away commenting that she was so polite. Ravwrin walked into the elevator dragging Dib in with her.
"Sorry for being so much in a hurry, but you are shivering really bad. When we get up to my home then we'll see if I have anything you can wear." She said and pushed the button to the to floor. She leaned against the wall. "That is if you don't mind wearing clothes that a girl has picked out."
Dib had to smile. He shook his head and replied, "Not if your taste of clothes can fit someone as tall as me."
Ravwrin laughed softly. She shook her own head in amusement, and her once dark, stormy icy eyes had turned a wonderful green color. It was a cross between forest green and a light blue.
(You're an angel in a dark sea, You were and always there for me, Casting the shadows away, Because you knew the right things to say.)
Soon the elevator stopped. The doors opened to reveal the very top floor. Since the building use to be a small hotel with a pent house, and the pent house was huge, it took up one whole floor.
Dib was amazed at what he saw. Even though everything was dark there was two whole walls of windows in the entry/living room. There were no regular chairs and couches, but wicker bowl type chairs, beanbags, and overly stuffed pillows arranged neatly. A small table rested in the middle of it all. Setting on it was a glass with small stones and incense in it. A small water feature sat in the center of the table.
Ravwrin looked at him and laughed. "Welcome to my home." She said and ushered him into the room.
"How could this place be haunted?" Dib asked amazed still.
"It was haunted, but not by a ghost."
"Wha?" he asked confused.
Suddenly a scurry of small scraping sounds echoed threw the room. A small cat sized shape appeared out of what seemed to be the kitchen. It looked like a large ferret. It was black all the way from its nose to its tail. The strange thing about this creature was that it had very light blue eyes, almost like lightly tinted ice.
"Rouky!" Ravwrin squealed and kneeled down just as the creature jumped into her arms. "This is what was haunting the place." She added and stood up.
She placed it back down and turned to Dib. "Take off your coat. It's not helping you a bit soaked." She said.
Gingerly he took it off and with a little hesitation handed it to her. She folded it neatly and placed it on the back of the ferret creature.
"Take this to the laundry room Rouk. Spread it out over the ironing board I never use. Rip it and I'll skin your hide." She told it and it ran off. "Don't worry, it will be dry by the time you're ready to go."
All Dib could do was nod his head in reply.
"Come on. Lets go find you soon clothes and then I'll show you the bathroom." Ravwrin said and headed off into the room. Reluctantly he followed.
(I don't know how to thank you, Thank you for helping me, Just ask and I'll do for you, What you have done for me.)
Well, read and review. I'll try to have another chap done soon, I hope.
