Ebony walked down the hallway at school. Normally by now Ravyn would have caught up with her. Homeroom was about to begin and Ravyn had not yet made her presence known to the school. Ebony, who was Ravyn's best friend since the first grade hade always known Ravyn to be there for her. From when Ebony was knew to the elementary school, to when Ebony's mom died of internal injuries from a car accident a week ago, to now.
Ebony always knew there was evil energies coming off of Ravyn but through this last week they had been at their peak.
Ebony kept to herself, normally only talking within the company of Ravyn. Ravyn whom was her best friend, whom could always be trusted, whom could always be counted on. Ravyn was her only outlet to what she experienced. Maybe it was because Ravyn accepted Ebony first, before anyone else did. Maybe it was because she had known her longer, but the most likely reason was because they shared the inner creature. It had possessed both of them, and they didn't know what to do about it. Well, Ravyn seemed to.
Ravyn seemed to know everything Ebony felt inside. Ravyn was punk and loved wolves. Ebony felt Ravyn had been smart and let all she had fall away. She kept Ebony though, and Ebony became accepted. But Ebony wasn't as wise. She couldn't let her human self go. It was all to easy to let it fall away, and leave herself for the demons of hell to take her in her arms. She wanted to be taken away, to be strong like Ravyn, but she was afraid. Ravyn had already become what ever it was Ebony could become. Ebony had too much human reason within her. To much hope, to much love. She liked to many people to just abandon them all.
" Hey Ebsta!" Ravyn yelled, pulling Ebony out of her train of thought, " Sorry I'm late. I had some trouble getting up this morning." Ravyn explained.
" It's cool. No sweat." Ebony said coolly.
" Let's go to homeroom or Mr. Szogi is gonna fry our asses." Ravyn said motioning forward.
" Right. Lets go!" Ebony raced pass Ravyn.
" Oh no you don't!" Ravyn yelled as she easily caught up with Ebony. The two girls raced to their homeroom.
They both entered the door. Ebony panted heavily but Ravyn only inhaled and exhaled deeply. Ravyn's speed had gotten fast in the last week or so. First Ebony's mom died last Thursday, Then Ravyn had a really bad day on Friday, followed by a Friday night that she didn't remember besides punching out Stephanie and taking her spike necklace back, which she now wore proudly around her neck.
" Now I would expect this from you Ravyn," came a loud booming voice that could only belong to Mr. Szogi, " But Ebony, you are never late to homeroom, or Social Studies. Please don't start picking up on Ravyn's bad example." Mr. Szogi said as he walked away to his desk.
Ravyn looked to Ebony who looked to Ravyn. After a second of silence the two girls burst out in laughter. They quickly took there seats. After Ravyn sat down their friends came over. This included, Zoë who was punk, Cassie who was punk, Corrina (Cori Anna) who was punk, and Lauren who was also punk. Out of all of them, Ebony was the only one that was not punk. But she wore black.
The girls just stared at each other then burst out into laughter. Then Andy Rhiley walked over. He wasn't short but he wasn't tall. He was black and had black hair with brown eyes.
" Hi Ravyn." He said, ignoring all the other girls.
" Don't talk to me." Ravyn said to him, turning her head.
" Wanna… uh… go out and get pizza later?" He asked disregarding Ravyn's request.
" I said don't talk to me," Ravyn said looking at him now, " What's the matter Andy? No comprehende?" Ravyn said, speaking the last line in Spanish.
" We're outta here!" Mr. Szogi said as the bell rang.
Ravyn got up. She was heading toward the door and Ebony followed. As they entered the extremely long hallway to their school they turned around to their friends. Ravyn and Ebony bid their goodbyes to their other friends. They would not see them till art class, 4th period.
As they dumped their stuff into their lockers, Ravyn and Ebony joined up and walked down the hallways together.
" Hey Ravyn, what were the lyrics to that song you made up?" Ebony asked, trying to remember.
" Which one?" Ravyn replied. Sometimes some of Ravyn's dark, and morbid poems got turned into songs.
" The one called 'I miss you'," Ebony replied. She could remember the title but not the actual song.
Ravyn started to sing it and Ebony joined in. The were perfectly in unison. They sounded so perfect together:
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
(I miss you I miss you)
(I miss you I miss you)
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stare I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you miss you)
Once they were finished, Ravyn and Ebony were by the main office. The hallway seemed unusually quite. Not only that but once they looked around, Ravyn and Ebony looked closely at the crowd surrounding them. Each and every one of them were staring at Ravyn and Ebony. Including teachers.
Ms. Falk for example was just staring at them both from her stand point about 10 feet away. And Mrs. Cane at the other end of the hallway was also just staring with an expressionless face. Mrs. Cane was one of the few teachers that Ravyn and Ebony were nice to. Too bad it she taught sixth grade.
Ravyn was looking in Mrs. Cane's direction but turned around when she felt Ms. Falk's presence closing in.
" Wow… Ravyn, Ebony… that was… really… great" She finally finished.
" What's it to you?" Ravyn asked defensively.
" I'm just trying to compliment you." Ms. Falk replied to Ravyn's defensiveness.
" Fuck off" Ebony yelled a little to loud.
" Ugh, Ravyn why are you dragging Ebony down with you?" Ms. Falk said rubbing her forehead.
Ravyn glanced at Ebony who glanced at Ravyn. The inner creatures inside them gained courage from each other.
" I ain't dragging her down with me! It's not my fault she's following me to hell! It's what friends do!" Ravyn yelled in her teachers face.
" Ravyn!" Mrs. Cane yelled from behind them. Ravyn had been so angered by the teacher in front of her that she couldn't sense Mrs. Cane gaining on her.
" What the hell do you want?!!" Ravyn yelled turning around.
Mrs. Cane was obviously surprised by Ravyn's out burst, for she stopped dead in her tracks. Ravyn looked to the ground. The inner beast had control of her that moment.
Ebony picked up for Ravyn's fallen defense. They helped each other in that way a lot. Hey, they were best friends, what do you expect?
" What the hell do you want from us? You complimented is now go!" Ebony yelled to both of them.
" What she said!" Ravyn yelled too. She had regained her stronger self again.
" Ravyn, Ebony we want to talk to you about a better school for you guys. Well, for Ravyn at least," Ms. Falk started. " It's up the hill a little further. Kind of secluded, It's called-"
Ravyn widened her cobalt eyes. She didn't need the name. She knew what they were talking about. Juvey.
" No. No no no no no no no!" Ravyn said to herself but out loud.
" Ravyn what's wrong?" Ms. Falk asked worriedly. She, Mrs. Cane, and Ebony all knew that they had just set off a the beast within Ravyn. It had lay dormant for about a week since it had first been conceived in Ravyn.
Mrs. Cane and Ms. Falk looked at each other worriedly as Ravyn started backing away.
" NO NO NO NO NO! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? NO! I WON'T GO BACK TO THAT HELL HOLE! I WON'T! HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK THAT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME THERE? THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! I AM COLD AND BITTER TO EVERYONE BECAUSE OF THEM! THAT PLACE WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME AND I WON'T GO BACK!" Ravyn yelled.
Ms. Falk was new to the school this last year and she looked to Mrs. Cane, thinking something happened to Ravyn before she even entered the school building. Then it happened.
A jolt went through Ravyn's body. She looked up to the ceiling. Then she got the feeling that a knife had just gone through her heart. She looked to the floor and clutched her heart. There was a sound of muscles stretching and moving and becoming bigger and stronger. Ravyn's knee's gave out and she fell to the floor. She was still looking down.
The three people in the hallway besides Ravyn could only watch in amazement at what was happening to Ravyn.
Ravyn could feel the muscles becoming stronger. Soon her skin started to stretch. Though she was on the ground she knew she was getting taller. The hair on her arms began to grown in great numbers as it turned to fur. She could feel her nails getting longer and her ears moving up on her head. Her eyes hurt and her teeth had a pain the annoyed her furiously. It felt like the were extending.
Ravyn looked to the ceiling while she was on the floor. Mrs. Cane and Ms. Falk looked in terror as Ravyn's pupils dilated slightly, and her cobalt iris's expanded, and her white sclera turned black. Ebony was worried for her friend, but not terrified of her.
Finally Ravyn was done her transformation. Ebony saw her friend had taken form of a werewolf, or lycan as she Ravyn liked to call them.
Ravyn stood up. She was now a full seven feet tall and could tower over even the tallest basketball player.
Ravyn looked to the two teachers that wanted to send her back to juvenile hall. She let out a snort and became to snarl, bearing her pearly white, and dagger sharp teeth that were now about as long as your index finger. She snarled again stared the teachers down….
