Raven sat up with a gasp. It was a dream. It was all a dream. What did that woman mean by when she said what would happen if she didn't forgive Rose? Why was she wearing Rose's cape? Her head was spinning. Quietly, she walked out of her room and into the kitchen. She got out a pot and some tea bags. What she needed was a nice, warm cup of herbal tea. She'd feel better and hopefully her mind would stop reeling. She pored herself a cup of steaming tea, sat down at the table, and took a sip. She sighed and dropped her head in her hands. This was all too much for her. She just wanted her sister to go away.

"Up early today?" Sunfire asked, coming into the kitchen.

Raven jumped from her chair, startled, spilling her tea all over the table. "You startled me," she gasped.

"I thought you didn't startle," Sunfire commented.

"I don't," Raven answered. "You're up early yourself.

"Couldn't sleep," she said, going to a cupboard and getting out a glass. "I got homesick." She then walked over to the fridge, got out the mustard, and pored herself a glass of mustard. "I like Earth all right…. I… just miss Tamaran… So, why are you up?"

"I wanted some tea, is that a crime?" she demanded, flaring black for a brief second.

"Whoa! Raven, are you ok? You seem…. moodier than usual…"

Raven sighed. "I'm fine."

"You sure?"

"I'm fine!" she said, flaring black again.

"I'm sorry," Sunfire muttered, taking a sip from her glass.

Raven finished her tea and walked out of the room. A few minutes later Rose came in rubbing her eyes. She looked like she had been crying a lot.

"Oh…I…I'm…. sorry… I didn't think anyone would be up," she whispered, looking everywhere but at Sunfire.

"Hey, it's no problem," Sunfire said. "You want something to eat?" she asked, noticing how skinny Rose looked.

"N-No thanks…. I ate…already," she quietly said.

Sunfire looked at her uncertainly. "You sure?"

"Yeah… I-I-I'm fine," she replied, before walking out the door.

Those two are so alike it's not even funny, Sunfire thought to herself.

A nine year old Raven woke up to hear her sister screaming. She was violently shaking in her bed.

"Rose! Rose! You're having a nightmare!" Raven said, going over to her sister. "You're ok. You're ok," she whispered, hugging her sister.

"

"I had a bad dream," Rose sobbed.

"It's ok, it's ok," Raven said, soothingly.

"No…no it's not."

"It was a dream. It's not real," Raven said. "Hey, I got you something," Raven said, reaching into her pocket. She pulled out a pearl on a string.

"What is that?" Rose asked, taking the pearl.

"It's a part of my courage. See, now you can always have some of my courage. I remembered the time you said you wished you could have my courage. So, I got a part of it for you," Raven explained.

"But won't you need it?"

"You need it more than I do," Raven gently said, tying the string around her twin's neck.

"Raven?"

"Yeah?"

"Promise me something?"

"What?"

"Promise me you will always love me. Promise me you will always be there for me."

"I promise," Raven said, hugging Rose.

Rose was sitting on her bed. She pulled out the pearl in her shirt. She'd never told Raven what her dream was about. She had dreamed that Raven hated her. She hadn't thought of that dream in awhile. That was before she learned she was able to predict the future. She should have seen it coming. She just didn't believe that it could be true.

She looked at her pearl. Raven promised she'd always love her. She was wrong. She hated her. Fresh tears fell from her face and onto her pearl. Rose sat there, sobbing and shaking.

I know I said earlier that this would be 10 chapters, but I'm thinking that it might actually be 15 now. My next story's probably going to be at least 20. So, you're going to be seeing a lot more of me for a while.

Until next time,
