Chapter 7
A boy with red brown scruffy hair was walking through a forest going to one of his favorite spots. It was beautiful. There was a small lake (like the ones in Minnesota) surrounded by hundreds of trees.
He walked towards it when he heard humming. He spied the singer from behind a tree. A girl with long black hair. She wore a white silk dress and a see through veil covered half her face. She was wading in the water. He leaned in a little more to get a better look when (you guessed It. Ok maybe u didn't) he broke a stick.
She looked at him startled.
"Uh, sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you." He said and blushed
" Don't be. Do you like to come out here to? To…think to….find peace to…let your troubles disappear even for a moment?" she asked
"Yeah" he answered
"Then wont you join me?" she asked
"I'd like that. ……Um what's your name?" he asked
"My name's Raven" raven said "what's yours?"
"My name's Terri" he said
The two spent three hours talking nether taking notice to the oncoming darkness. They felt as if they had always known each other, but nether knowing of the others troubles.
Raven hoped the night wouldn't end, nether wanted that to happen they talked until…
"RAVEN!" a voice yelled
"Im sorry Terri, I, have to go." Raven said and started to run but Terri grabbed her arm.
"Raven, w-will I see you again?" he asked
"I don't know, I live near here maybe you and this luck you talk about will help you to find me." She said and began running again.
Emerald eyes watched her run away. Ill find you and steal you away, we can be together forever. Nothing will happen to you I swear ill die before I let you.
Terri thought and ran in the other direction. He forgot him and his team had a big deal going down tonight. The house of Terries. That jerk was always drunk, he was rich too, he would go out tonight like always and be back in three hours at least. They were going to loot the place and when he was inside, burn it to the ground.
Raven finally made it home she knew what was coming, she had been late, and even though he wasn't drunk he would beat her to a pulp. And tonight he was going out to party. That meant getting drunk, and a worse beating. Her prediction was right. He used a hot iron bar that burn and tore flesh. Thirty minutes that all it took for her white dress to turn red. He left. She limped up the steps and locked herself in her room. With the last of her strength she through herself into her bed.
Terri had just made it. Terries was just leaving. He noticed bloodstains on his hands and outfit. He brushed it off and set his mind to the task at had getting every thing valuable out of the house and oiling it down for the fire.
It took all of three and a half hours to finish. But one room was locked.
(Flashback sort of.)
"Terri! We can pick this lock!" a boy said
"It doesn't matter we have to get who knows when he'll be back! Lets go, probably only useless stuff in there anyway."
(End flashback)
Terries was finally home, and inside. They moved in and lit up the house. The idiot was so drunk he didn't smell the gasoline or smoke and didn't notice the flames or that things were missing. He took three more steps and collapsed, never to open his eyes again.
The boys stood back admiring there work. When Terri noticed someone in the upper window looking down. It was…
"Raven!" he screamed and ran into the house ignoring the shouts of his team, he had to save Raven, or he would die trying.
What u think? Review please!
