Raven's Rose
Chapter 2
GONE! The eyes are gone! People noticed that Raven seemed startled, but they turned back to the opera at the thought of angering her all-seeing father. Ignoring the crowd, Raven got up and headed into the lobby. She had to know who those eyes belonged to.
Jinx was furious. Why wouldn't they let her into the opera? Just because she is bad luck, and made the curtains collapse in her audition… They fixed it didn't they? She decided she would go back to the White Cloak and destroy everything. Nobody rejects jinx.
Outside the lobby window, Raven could see someone coming. As the figure got closer, she could see her as Jinx. Looking around, she saw a small door in the corner. Maybe this would lead to her tormentor… If not, it would at least serve as a good hiding place from Jinx.
The door was covered in spider webs. Raven fanned them out of the way. Into the unknown she would go. Closing the door behind her, she noticed it was exceedingly dark. With a snap of her fingers, she lit the room with a blue light. There was a winding hallway leading to a spiral staircase. As Raven descended down the stairs, she noticed that the air got more and more humid. She could no longer hear the playing of the orchestra.
