Okay I am sooooooo sorry that I haven't put an author's note in so long............you can yell at me all you want.........at least I updated!!!! It's so hard with school back in session and all.......I really didn't want to go back to school.......it really sucked.

I was also really busy during the summer, like more than I thought I was. I was completely detached from my computer for the whole month of July, which was really hard, but I survived. But then like, a week after I was off on a vacation and there was summer reading I had to do.......and my whole "Let's write a lot this summer" came crashing down around me.

I have gotten a lot of new ideas for different stories, one of them is in Fruits Basket and I have major writer's block on it. The other I put in cause I didn't want to get suspending for putting a story in the wrong place again....it's called Lonely Cowgirl and I got the idea from the Mediator series by Meg Cabot, who is like a goddess when it comes to writing. I don't read any of her Princess Diaries books, so don't directly like her with that sort of crap, she's a pretty good fantasy writer also!!! Totally recommend.

Chapter 12: The Search

Raven lifted her head from her hands, she looked out across the crowd of clones of, well, her. Then it dawned on her, she called out, "Listen, we have an emergency situation here. There are two people wandering through your home, and I wish to bring them back to my world, but I will need your help. I need you all to search your regions."

One Raven stuck her hand in the air. This Raven had on an orange cloak and had an expression that was not, how you say, flattering on her. "But, uh, what, are we looking for?"

"Yes, good question, Stupidity!" remarked a Raven in an indigo cloak. This Raven had on a pair of glasses.

"You, you really mean it, Smart?" Stupidity looked like she had just been given the best gift in the world.

"Of course, why would I say something I didn't mean?" She turned back to the real Raven, "But, I must inquire as to what these people look like that we are to look for."

"Well," Raven looked at Dove, who seemed to catch the drift.

"There is one who shines brighter than the brightest star, and has wings whiter than the most perfect egg. That is my father, Michael." Dove seemed to take delight in describing her biological father for the crowd of Ravens.

"Yeah, and the other one's, Robin." Raven seemed to just throw this line off to the side. It was however caught by the group and the reaction seemed to be a collective sigh.

Dove looked at her best friend, "Raven, how can it be that all the other Ravens know what and who Robin is?"

"Well, um, Dove, you see since I love Robin, and all of these people are extensions of me, they share all of the feelings I have. In short terms, they all love Robin too."

"Oh, well, that seems logical enough!" Dove gave Raven a smile.

Raven returned it with one slightly less bright, "Alright people get a move on!" And within seconds all of the Ravens had disappeared leaving Raven and Dove alone on their arch.

"Are we there yet?" was the question that came to mind as Robin and Michael wandered through what seemed to be nothing more than a wasteland of gray rocks. All of sudden Michael spread his wings and lifted off ground. His wings were as white as any cloud could be and they were longer than his arms by far. The longest feathers seemed to almost reach his feet, they were so long. Robin stopped walking while Michael floated in the air. When Michael came down he had a puzzled look on his face.

"This place seems to go on forever. This path doesn't look like it stops, it only goes through arches and changes it's setting." Michael said when he had reached ground. Robin did not know what to say, he was getting the feeling that they were lost forever in the mirror.

"Um,...excuse me..." There was soft voice heard. Michael and Robin turned quickly around, only to be faced with nothing. Then a face came out from around a large pillar of gray stone. The face was Raven's but the expression was not. It was slightly scared and very weak.

"Are you......who I think you are...?" Asked the face.

Michael stepped forward, with a loving fatherly look upon his face, hoping not to scare the poor girl away. "We might be......but who are you?"

"I'm......Scared." The face replied.

Robin stepped forward this time, "Yes, we can see that. But who are you?"

"Are you...who I think you are? Is it true......Robin has come to our mirror?" The face seemed to be in wonder at the fact that Robin was actually standing in front of her.

"Last time I checked I was still Robin. But you didn't answer my question, who are you?" Robin was slightly impatient with his question, he really wanted to get out of the mirror.

"But...I have..." the face stepped out from the pillar and put her face in her hands. Then there was a quiet sobbing heard.

Michael looked at Robin as if to say, "Well look at what you've gone and done." He stepped closer to the girl and said, "It's alright dear...please, if you could just repeat what you said, you see we have been wandering for sometime now and some of us are very anxious to get home." He shot another look at Robin.

The girl looked up at Michael, who gave her a small wattage smile. She sniffed a bit and said, "I'm Scared......and you are?"

Michael looked at her and finally realized what she was saying, "Oh, you're the personality, Scared. I am the archangel Michael, Dove's father."

Robin looked sheepish for a bit, he really shouldn't have been so hard on Scared for not being so clear.

"It's nice...to meet you...Michael....I am supposed to......lead you to the Raven......and the one like her,......you called her......Dove, I think?" Scared took her time saying her sentences, she still looked like she didn't trust them.

Robin tried to make amends. "Thank you very much, Scared, you don't know how grateful I am. I really you owe you one!" He gave her the best smile he could come up with.

Scared blushed slightly, "Oh......that's quite alright......" a small rumble was heard and a few rocks tumbled down from some of the gray rock pillars around. With this Scared's blush deepened considerably. "I will...need you to stand......slightly closer to me......that is......to bring you to......the Raven and all." Robin and Michael nodded and stepped closer to Scared. She removed her arms from the folds of her cloak, and made a round motion with both of them; this brought a large black sphere around all three of them, almost like a black bubble, which floated off in the direction of the arch that Raven and Dove were on.
