YAY! People liked my first chapter. So, like I promised here is the next chapter, hope you like it! For those of you that said that my last chapter was to short, that's how it was SUPPOSED to be!
Robin hid in the bushes watching the red-cloaked man and blue-cloaked figure. He wanted to help the blue one, for he could tell that he was in trouble but he knew from experience that you should never jump into a situation until you knew what was going on.
"The king will reward me handsomely for your safe return" laughed the red-cloaked man. They stood on opposite ends of a large clearing facing each other ready to fight. A raven rested upon the boy's shoulder it's beady eyes fixed on the man.
The man summoned flame into his hand and sent it flying at the boy. The boy's hands suddenly glowed black and engulfed the flame sending it flying back towards the man.
The man threw two more fireballs. One cancelled out the reflected fire and the other flew at the boy. Dodging he cried "Anol" and the raven launched off his shoulder and flew at the man.
But just before it reached him a hawk launched out of a tree and attacked it. "That's right my hunting hawk eliminate it," yelled the man.
Then summoning more fire he threw it at the boy. The boy, not having enough time to dodge was hit head on with the blast. He went flying backwards into a tree and hit with a thud on the trunk. The man advanced on the boy like a wolf coming in for the kill.
The birds fought madly in the air above. The hawk was twice as large as the raven but the raven continued to fight.
Finally Robin figured he knew enough about what was going on and launched himself out of the bushes at the red-cloaked man. He relentlessly attacked the man, not giving him a chance to summon a fireball. He drove the man farther away from the boy.
Back in the air it looked like, despite the odds, the raven was winning. But then in a final desperate attempt, the hawk grabbed the raven and snapped its neck, killing it instantly. It fell to the ground leaving the fully exhausted hawk to flap it the air.
"No" whispered the boy jumping up and running to the fallen bird.
Robin continued his attack and finally the man, having had enough, disappeared. Robin turned around to watch the boy.
The boy knelt by his fallen companion "Anol, Anol please be ok" he whispered. He let out a long sad whistle as if hoping for the raven to signal back but it did not stir. He picked up the raven and cradled it in his arms.
He turned around to face Robin and pulled down his hood. He had a pale, tear stained, face, deep purple hair, and lavender eyes, no wait he was a she.
"You're a girl?" "Yes, what did you think I was" she growled. "Who are you?" she asked in a monotone voice. He looked into eyes and saw a well of sadness. He wanted to help her, to show her the joy in his life. "Who are you?" she asked again. "Robin" he answered coming back to reality at the sound of her voice. "Who are you?" he asked. "Raven". "Well, Raven why don't you come with me" "No" "Oh, come on" "No!" she said spinning around and running away.
"Raven, Raven come back here," he yelled chasing after her. She was surprisingly fast and even with the added weight of the dead bird he still could hardly keep up. "Go away" she yelled at him "I want to help you" "I don't care, go AWAY!" her hands glowed black and the form of a raven sprouted out of the ground. The raven form wrapped its wings around her and disappeared with her with it.
"Raven", he called "Raven come back here! I just want to help you". He did not know why he was so interested in the girl but there was just something about her. He had to find her, so he set off to comb the woods.
Did you like it? If you did you know what you have to do (points at review button). Well this chapter sucked but she had to meat Robin somehow. The next chapter is already written out and, If I do say so myself, its good! So the faster you review the faster the next chapter goes up! Flames are accepted but I hope that it's not necessary.
