Raven sat on a bed in a rented hotel room. Shadow lay curled up in a ball
on the floor. He had bought a room in the hotel across from the one van and
co. were in. after all he couldn't just walk back in there and ask for a
room without any trouble being caused. Even though trouble was ravens
middle name, he didn't really feel like doing anything at the moment. There
was something missing in him, tugging at his conscious. He couldn't quite
put his finger on it but it kept him out of trouble for the time being.
He removed his shielding, boots and shirt, and then lay back on his bed with his arms crossed. After an hour or so his eyes began to grow heavy and his body grew tired. A long wailing yawn came from shadow, as he too felt tired.
"Raven..." a voice trailed, but it was somewhat familiar "where are you raven? Why did you leave me...?"
A feminine figure came into view with blue hair, flowing blue gown and deep emerald orbs for eyes. "You left me Raven..."
"Reese...?" raven's voice rang out.
"You left me... "The voice repeated "where am I now raven...? Tell me where am I?"
"I...I...don't know"
"Why don't you know? You should be helping me, you should be finding me"
"I ..."raven trailed in thought "why? Why should I care! ? "
"Because...because I'm scared raven...I'm scared " the young girl's eyes shot wide "raven help me...raven help! RAVEN!"
THUMP! A body of entangled bed sheets fell to the floor. A pale sweaty face poked out from underneath them. The sound off heavy breathing filled the room. Raven blinked and stared hard around the room. A shiver rose up his spin and back down.
"What... was... that?" raven gasped. He looked around the room one more time as if waiting for someone to answer his question "it was...just a dream, just a dream"
He stood up, pulling the sheets off him and dumping them in a pile at the side. He then sat back on his bed and went into thought. Could Reese be his missing piece? Could it be Reese's death that tugged on his conscious?
"Reese..." raven trailed it would have been around now Reese would be entering his room. Around now she would be teasing him on his bad dream. Around now where she would put her arms around him and around now where he would fling them off him saying "I don't need your help!" when in fact, that wasn't entirely true. Raven hadn't had a mother to take care of him when he was sick, raven didn't have a mother to put his arms around and cry into her shoulder when he was scared, raven didn't have a mother to tell all his hopes and dreams to. Reese was almost like the mother he never had, as much as he denied it she was always there when he needed her. He never told her that, he never admitted to her that he needed her. He always pushed her away when she tried to help him.
"Reese..." raven pulled his knees up to his chest and laid his head on them. "I'll get you for this boy...just you see if I don't" he cried out to the dark, empty room.
He looked back up again. She was gone, gone from his life forever and it was his fault. He should have forgotten the boy and he should have helped her, but he was to self-absorbent to care about any one else. Ravens eyes began to hurt as he fought back burning tears. His heart hurt too, flinging himself back on the bed he let out a long wail. Pitiful sobs filled the room.
Shadow, his organoid, looked up in alarm and confusion to this new sound. He had heard many people use it before, but only on their deathbed. He stood up walking over to his master unknowingly what to do he nudged raven's shoulder checking he was still alive. Raven rolled over and stared face to face with shadow. Shadow growled.
"What have I done shadow?" raven shut his eyes and reached his hand out to stroke shadows muzzle, shadow pulled away and went back to sit in his corner seeing as every thing was Ok from his point of view.
