Chapter1- Going back or Staying and Her First Performance

A little girl of only four years of age was sitting quietly. She was quietly sitting next to her mother. They were on a plane, which was heading to America. This little girl looked to be a younger version of her mother. With black hair and green eyes. She was very pretty as was her mother. Take one good look at the little girl and one good look at the mother and you could definitely tell that this little girl would grow up to look like her mother.

The little girl's name was Raven. Her mother's name was Arella. They were coming to America to survive a war. This war would harm them both. They come from a country called Azarath. Azarath lays in Saudi Arabia. They're home was being invaded by Tamerainians. Which is a neighboring country.

Although Raven looks to be a normal little girl with out a care in the world, she wasn't. She is the heir to her father's throne, once come his fiftieth birthday. By then Raven will be seventeen. She knew of this and this is one of the reasons why she is troubled. She is also troubled by a pang of guilt. She feels guilty for leaving her father behind and she is also worried for her country. She did not want to leave but as some one as important as her could not be in such danger.

The plane lands and Raven and her mother are to be escorted to their new home in a city called Jump city. After a three-hour trip to their new home, they are very tired. They get out of the car and walk inside to their new home. They did not know how long they would be there. But they would make them selves comfy. They could have lived with the family they had in America but they didn't want to be a burden. Their family was Arella's sister, Nieve. (Remember they have family here)

Raven and her mother live in the suburbs. They have been living there for quite some time. Approximately three years to be exact. Raven is now seven years old. She has grown accustomed to her new life in America. She has friends and she loves her school. Yet she still seems gloomy or depressed. One day they get a phone call.

" Hello is this the Roth residence"

" Why yes it is. How may I help you?"

"This is Derek Trigon's assistant. I have been informed to tell you that the war between Azarath and Tameran is over. And that we have been victorious"

"Well that is wonderful news"

"This means that you can come home now. In three days I am to come to get you to come back home."

"Ok thank you we will be waiting for your arrival"

"Good bye"

"Good bye"

Arella was home alone. She was as happy as when she brought Raven into the world . She could not wait to go home, to see her husband, to see the land she once stepped on. She could not wait to tell Raven. She thought Raven would be just happy as her. But unfortunately she thought wrong.

"Mom I'm home" cried a Raven

"Raven I have good news"

"Um what is it mom"

"We're going back to Azarath"

"What I don't want to go back. I'm perfectly fine here"

Arella's face just saddened. She thought her daughter would be as happy as she would be. She told Raven that they were going back not matter what. But Raven wasn't all that happy with the idea. She just can't drop her life and go back to her old one. She didn't like to be pampered. She didn't like a lot of attention, which is why none of her friends know she's a princess. Telling her secret would mean people being her friends for the wrong reasons. She told her mother that she was staying here no matter what.

"Raven we must go back. Don't you want to see father?"

"Yes I do, but I can not just drop this life."

Arella gave a silent pause. She did not know what to do.

"Raven if that is what you wish to stay here then we will figure something out"

"Thank you mom"

Raven then went to her room. She sat there for a few minutes thinking about what just transpired. She asked her did she want to go back. Should she stay or should she go. She didn't know. To take her mind off of things she started doing her homework. At eight o' clock she went to eat dinner. They sat there and didn't talk like they usually would. After Raven was finished she went to go take a shower and she would be off to bed.

By nine o' clock she was in bed. She did not fall asleep till ten. At three in the morning Raven shot right up from her bed. She ran down the hallway to her mother's room and woke her up. She woke her mom because an idea popped up in her head.

"Mother I know what we can do."

"And what is that Raven"

"You can leave me with Aunt Nieve. That way I'm still in America and you know someone will take great care of me"

"Raven are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes mom"

"Ok Raven"

"You can go live with her tomorrow"

"Ok mom. Good night"

"Good night"

The next day Raven and her mom packed all of her clothes. They went to Nieve's house. Nieve was excited Raven would be staying with them. It would sometimes get lonely only having Jennifer around. As soon as she opened the door Raven jumped in to her arms. Arella was happy to see her sister and niece. Her niece was Jennifer or Jinx, as she preferred. Jinx was the same age as Raven. Which was a good thing. Now Nieve lived all the way on the other side of town. So that meant Raven would be changing schools. But Raven didn't mind, well only a little bit.

Before Arella left she gave Raven something. She gave her a necklace. The necklace had a silver chain and an amethyst stone hanging from the chain. Why it had been amethyst and not emerald is a secret. But hey I'll tell anyways. Green was not Raven's real eye color nor was black her real hair color. Purple was her real hair color and purple was also her eye color. If she had come to America like that then she would have gained so much attention. For she was the only human known to have these two fascinating attributes that were real not fake.

Raven and her mom hugged and said their goodbyes. After that raven came inside. She learned all about her aunt and cousin.

Years past quickly like dozen of birds flying. Raven had learned to love her aunt and cousin like if they were her first family. Nieve was like Raven's mom. And jinx was like her sister and best friend. Now they were both fifteen and in high school. They were now officially sophomores. Raven and Jinx didn't have many friends. They didn't really care. Their only friend was a man name Victor Stone. He was a football player and was popular but he didn't care if they were nobodies. He looked tough and mean on the outside. But Raven and Jinx knew he was just a big teddy bear on the inside.

Few weeks later

Raven and Jinx were in a depressed mood. Victor had stopped hanging out with them. He told them he didn't want to be friends with losers like them. Raven was so angry even the slightest question could make her blow her top. She wanted to know why he had such a sudden change of heart. On one day during a class she had wrote him a note and he surprisingly wrote back. He said it was because Kori Anders would black mail him. Before Victor knew Raven and Jinx he was in a bad crowd and he did some bad things.

She now understood. Kori Anders was her sworn enemy. She hated her and vise-versa. Kori was a stuck up girl that thought she could get what ever she wanted. And because Kori was from Tameran and to more specific princess of Tameran. And she bragged about it. Well in conclusion Kori Anders would try and make Raven's life a living hell. And she turned the whole school against Raven except for teachers and Victor. Victor was only there because if Kori told his secret he could kiss college good-bye. And Raven wanted what was best for Victor.

Raven only had Jinx. And by the beginning of their junior year students started mistreating Raven and Jinx. They would trip them or push or knock their books down. But the worst of them all was Kori, Gar, Terra, and Richard. Richard was Kori's boyfriend. And gar and Terra were boyfriend and girlfriend and also Kori's crew. Every time one of them saw her or Jinx they would trip them or knock them down or just do something to intentionally hurt them.

That's when Raven started to dance and sing. She did this so she can get away from her life at school. She would dance Azarainian belly dance. It was a form of belly dancing but with more steps and grace. Her aunt told her about it. She then started writing songs. Finally one day a guy from a club called her. He told her that he was a friend of her mom and aunt. He asked her is she could dance or sing. She told him she could. And he told her if she could work at his club. And she told him she would as a matter a fact she would start today. Before she left she told Nieve and Jinx and they were really happy. She took her car, which her dad bought her on her sixteenth birthday. (A/N: 16 years old can drive ok so yeah)

Raven knew exactly were the club was at. She would pass it everyday on her way to school. She sped to the club. She got there in ten minutes. Right then it was eight o' clock. She met the manager. His name was Ramón. He asked her what happen to her beautiful eyes. She told them they were contacts. But she wondered why he didn't ask about her hair. That's when she remembered that ever since she moved to America her hair would turn back to purple during the night. Arella thought it was because of the air. Raven never paid mind to it because she never went out at night. She took out her contacts.

She told the manager that she didn't want to be known. So he came up with the name Jade. She also told the manager she bought her guitar and that she would sing a song she made. And with an approving nod she started to practice. When she heard her name: give a welcome to our new performer Jade. She walked on to the stage. She saw a stool and sat on it. And she talked into the microphone.

"Hello my name is Jade and tonight I will be singing. It's a song I made. It's called Nobody's Home"

She started singing. In the middle of the song she noticed Kori and her crew in the back. All of their eyes were on her. They didn't seem to recognize her or else they would of done something by now. But most of all Richard's eyes were on her, paying the most attention.

She started to get nervous but she still sang. She sang the night away. When she was done she heard everyone's applause and it felt good instead of the screams and curses she usually got.

Hey every one I told you guys I would be back I would be back. And better then ever. I think. I hope this story is better then the last. And I hope to have more chapters too. This came to me in a dream and I tweaked it a little bit because it reminded me of a novella- Spanish soap opera. I hope you rob/rae fans like it. I should have chapter two up by Christmas. Well plz review my story. It should be better then the last
