I have no life...Ok, carry on...

"Oh, Darien! You crack me up" Raven exclaimed wiping tears of laughter out of her eyes. She had not laughed like this in... forever!

Darien smiled back, "It's always a pleasure to see you laugh"

Raven flushed. How long had they been talking for? He had told her all about his life. He was 19 years old he went to university and he did different kinds of jobs all over the place, he also told her about his girlfriend and about how they had met. It was a cute story, but for some reason she just did not seem to like her, she seemed to perfect even though they had never even met in person.

"Hey, earth to Raven?" Darien called snapping his fingers in Raven's face, she swatted it away, "Tell me about yourself, the only thing I know about you is that your name is Raven and that you have a dog-named, Tiger.

Raven forced a smile, "My life isn't nearly as interesting as yours is, you don't want to here about mine..." she muttered waving a hand at him.

"Oh yes I do! Come on tell me" he persisted, nudging her in her side.

She slapped his arm, "Alright" she said hesitantly, "Well um... as you know my name is Raven, I'm 14 years old, and I was adopted" she paused and looked at the reaction on his face, he seemed shocked, she seemed so much older than she was, "Um... When I was four my family abandoned me, I really don't remember them much, and after that a guy named Marc he took me in and..." she paused looking down at her lap and twirling and pulling on her hair, "And umm..." she choked.

Darien's eyes flashed with concern, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to" he said putting a comforting hand on her shoulder, "I'll understand"

Raven smiled at him through her tears, "Thank you Darien, but I think I will tell you, I've never told anyone before, however I think I can trust you" wiping the tears from off her face she continued with her story. "When I was four I met Marc and he took me in, for about until the time I was 11 years old, he continually sexually abused me and when I started to fight him off he would hurt me, he would hit me and scream at me and force me to do undoable things in short amounts of times. Also, if I couldn't complete them, he would hurt me all over again or if I didn't do them up to his standards he would threaten me." She went silent again waiting for him to comment. Fresh tears falling down her pale cheeks again

It took Darien a while to take all this in. He looked at her with compassion, "If he did all these things to you, then why didn't you just run away or tell somebody?"

Raven looked at him with anger in her green eyes, "Don't take his side! Do you know how hard it was just to get away? I had to skip school and run away with only the clothes on my back, no money, and nowhere to go! To everyone else Marc is the perfect person. He is well respected and wealthy, no one would believe me if I told them the way he was treating me. They would just say that I'm an ungrateful brat and that I should be thankful to Marc for taking me in when he could have just sent me to an orphanage" she took in a few deep breaths, "You don't know what I've had to go through Darien! My life has certainly not been a walk in the park! There is always this reoccurring dream, it haunts me every time I close my eyes" tears were rolling off her cheek and onto the dress.

'My life has certainly not been a walk in the park', "I'm sorry Rave," he said, sincerity hanging off of every word, "I would have tried to help if I had known you"

He reached out for her as she collapsed into his arm and started to weep, "Shhh, it's alright, Raven. I never said that you life was a easy, it isn't a walk in the—"

"Oh, shoot!" he gasped suddenly remembering, he had totally forgotten that he and Serena where supposed to be having a picnic today in the park. He mentally hit himself on the back of his head.

Raven looked up at him, "W-what?" worry in her green eyes.

"Me and Serena are supposed to have a picnic today," he answered glancing up at his clock on the kitchen wall.

Raven hastily stepped away form him wiping away her tears, "I'm sorry for that Darien, it's my fault. If I hadn't been here blubbering, you never would have forgotten" she started to cry again.

Darien reached out and gave her another hug, he stared down into her bright green eyes that looked at him with hesitation.

Raven blushed, "What was going on here" she wondered closing her eyes, it did not seem right coming from Darien. Yet she went onto her tiptoes and leaned back her head.

What was going on Darien wondered. He already had Serena yet here he was about to kiss another girl that he had no romantic feelings for.

Yet he bent down and paused. "This isn't right," he told himself

Darien pulled away, but Raven kept her eyes closed, "Oh my gosh,"

Flash back...

A dark haired man a prince and a blond haired girl a princess are locked in a deep embrace.

"Help me, Somebody, Help me please!" someone calls into the night. No one hears. No one even turns to see what is wrong.

Dark creatures and an evil queen begin to attack the couple, female soldiers jump out to help ward them off. Nevertheless, it was too late.

Then there was darkness.

Raven snapped back, what was wrong with her, she wondered. She was always spacing out like that. She just kept remembering that dream that haunted her for so many years. Opening her eyes, she stared at Darien. He was averting her gaze. She then turned to see what he was staring at.

Blond hair and pigtails. Raven gasped, the girl from her dream! "Princess!?"
