OK, I still need help and I know this will suck too. I'll get help! O no. I sound like a drug addict.
Chapter 2: What to Do
At Dinner
Raven sat next to Achmed playing with her food.
"So, you're my daughter."
"Yup." She said sadly.
"Am I such a wonderful father?" he said with sarcasm.
"You were… until now."
"If you're Achmed's daughter, why don't we know you?" Rhapsody asked kindly.
"I don't know. You tell me."
"'Ow come yer dressed in black?" Grunther asked, trying to be nice.
"Because Father said training will be easier with black on." Raven said, as though it were obvious.
"How?" Ashe asked. Raven glared at him. "I don't like you. Don't talk to me."
"Rhapsody, your friends are so nice and friendly." Ashe muttered.
"We're not deaf you know. Keep your thoughts in your head unless you're honest enough to say them out loud." Raven snapped.
"She's got a point." Rhapsody sighed. "As for you, Rhapsody, I've lived here my whole life. I thought you knew me. Maybe I got ripped out of my time place and got put here. Like how you met that idiot." She said nodding at Ashe.
"Well, you inherited Achmed's attitude an' hatred." Grunther chuckled. Rhapsody and Achmed couldn't help but laugh or smirk at this.
"Is my room still the same?" Raven asked, pushing her unfinished food away.
"Where was yer old room?"
"Rhapsody said I should have Jo's old room when you guy's found out that I was as messy as her." Raven bowed her head respectively. "May I go to my room now?" Achmed nodded his head in approval. "Good-night everyone." She walked out of the dining hall. After she was gone, all the questions started pouring in.
"Who've you slept with lately?"
"I didn't know you could get a girl without paying!"
"Good job sir!"
"I thought you hated children-"
"Do you know who the mother is?"
"What are you goin' to do with 'er sir?"
"QUIET!" Achmed shouted, standing up and letting his chair fall behind him. "For now, I'll take care of her until we find a way to send her back to where she came from. Gods, he wasn't ready for this. " Is it alright with you…? Raven?" Achmed asked turning around and looking at the ceiling. A human form jumped off the ceiling and gracefully landed on their feet. "Yes, Father." Raven whispered. She walked out of the room and out into the hall.
"Well, that was intrestin'." Grunther said. A moment later, Raven's head popped in. "Uh, what happened to my room? I can't find it." She sounded so confused, that Rhapsody felt so sorry for her. "I'll take you there." She offered while standing up.
"Thanks." Raven said, opening the door wider. Rhapsody tried to walk towards her when Ashe pulled her a little bit down. "Don't trust her," he whispered. Rhapsody scowled and yanked her elbow free. As both of them walked through the door. "Wait!" Raven said quickly. She ran back into the room. "I'm not deaf you know," she snapped at Ashe.
In Raven's Room
"So," Rhapsody asked, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Do you want to talk or something?"
"Uh, sure." Raven said, sitting on the opposite side, "About what? Do you have any questions?"
"Actually, yes. Yes I do. How did you get here?"
"I'm not sure. I woke up in the hall, so I walked into the banquet hall. And, so here I am." She said breezily. Rhapsody seemed satisfied. "Who's your mother?"
"I-I don't know." She said nervously. "I-I'm tired okay. Do you mind if I …?"
"Oh, yes! Of course!" Rhapsody said quickly, being reminded of Jo. Rhapsody closed the door behind her and walked back to the banquet hall. She could hear murmuring in the room ahead. She walked in and retook her seat. Achmed sat with his fingertips to his lips as everyone was in deep thought.
"Did you find anything out?" Achmed asked after a moment of silence. "The mother? Where she came from? Anything?"
"She doesn't know where she came from." Rhapsody said sadly. "And she doesn't even know who her mother is."
"That doesn't help." Ashe said.
"She may be lying." Achmed suggested. Rhapsody's eyes widened in surprise. "How can you say that!?"
"Well, first I learned to talk, and then I-"
"You know what I mean!" Rhapsody said angrily.
"I need more information dammit!" Achmed said.
"I don' know, sir," Grunther said, "She acts a lot like ya. And have some of the same looks. Dark hair, a little tall."
"Maybe she was plucked out of time." Ashe put in. "I was."
"I suppose." Achmed said reluctantly.
Raven's Room
Raven sat on her bed, feeling the vibrations of tense voices in the air. She sighed. I think it was Father's deal with the Gate Keeper he made. Or maybe that hasn't happened. Or maybe… I'm not real. Raven shook her head. Father was right. I think too much. She went to the corner of the bed and rocked back and forth, twirling her hair in her fingers. Maybe Meridian did this for me. Like, a warning? Hmm. Or! Maybe I'm supposed to see something that I should know! Curse this! Raven curled into a ball on her pillows. Maybe I can see who my mother is…or was.
I know that this sucks, but if you keep reading- ok screw this. It doesn't matter if you read it; just tell me what you want! PLEASE!!!! Thanks 4 reading (if you did)!
