When I saw him for the first time, I'll admit that I had desire for him, but don't confuse my words to that of petty teenage age puppy love. I am above all that and I believe he is as well, but I can't help BUT think impure thoughts like the rest of these girls. So, for the time being, I'll let my eyes do what my body TRULY wants.

Chapter Two: Eyes of Lust

" Ok, class," said Mina as she stood next to the white board, " today, we're going to be doing a project that your former teacher intended for you to do."

" Yes, MINA!" shouted Sabrina happily, " in our groups, we must paint a group portrait of ourselves as how we see ourselves inside as well as..."

" That's enough Sabrina," responded Mina.

Mina goes to her desk and picks up a green folder with the words, " Group Assignments". As she looks through it, she is also looking at Raven, who is fast asleep.

" Well, it seems that all the groups are full," said Mina calmly, " meaning RAVEN, you'll be assign something else."

Suddenly, every girl in the class started shouting to the top of their lungs and saying that they want him in their group, while Raven only look up for a moment, before going back to sleep.

" The groups are TOO big already," exclaimed Mina over the shouts.

" We'll take him,"

Everyone became quiet and turn towards Dawn, who had just announce her claim to him. Raven turned his head slightly and open his eyes to Dawn staring back at him. Mina looked for Dawn's name in the folder and found it under group 6 as well as two other names: Amy and Ami Wong.

" Dawn, it seems you do have room for one more," replied Mina, " is that fine with you, Raven?"

Raven lifted his head up and stared at Dawn and then both Amy and Ami Wong. He nodded before laying his head back down and going back to sleep. All the girls became bitter and gazed hatefully at the three before Mina told them to settle down.

" In that case, you may now get in your groups to discuss your projects," responded Mina as she sat in her desk.

Both Amy and Ami smile at Dawn, who reluctantly smile back as every moved their desk in position for the group discussions.

" Ummm, excuse me," said Amy politely as she tapped Raven in the shoulder, " it's time to get into groups."

Raven lifted off the desk and stared into her eyes, which made her blush. Suddenly, he poked her cheek and gently place his hand against it, making her blush even more.

" Why is your face red?" asked Raven as he gently sled his hand off, " like the girls before you."

Amy became puzzled, while Dawn approach them and kneel in front of him. Amy was about to say something before Dawn cut her off.

" She was blushing," answered Dawn eagerly, " it's mostly what girls do when they're embarrass or if they're shy."

" I see," responded Raven calmly to Dawn, " then is she embarrass or shy?"

Raven looks at Amy again, but she turns away as her face becomes completely red. Ami laughs as does Dawn, who notices a confused look on Raven's face.

" I'm guessing both," laughed Ami happily, " don't you know what blushing is?"

There is a brief silence and Raven shakes his head. Dawn continues to look on and sees him lower his head due to not knowing.

" It's no big deal," responded Dawn, who pointed to Amy who was back to normal.

Raven gazed at Amy, who had turn back around and lifted up his head as Ami pulled out a piece of white paper from her bag. She place it on his desk and unfolded it to show 3 stick figures with what looked like triangles for tree.

" What do you think?" asked Amy happily, " it's the preliminary drawing."

" That?" responded Raven, " are you serious?"

Amy started giggling as did Ami, while Dawn laid the back of her head on his desk and stare straight into his eyes.

" Don't be so gullible," answered Dawn, " this is just in case SHE comes around."

" So, can you tell us more about yourself," asked Amy politely, " where are you from?"

" I would like to know too," replied the anxious Dawn, who smile at him.

Suddenly, Raven looked towards the window as he tighten his fists. His yellow eyes started to shed tears, which confused the three girls.

" I am from nowhere," answered Raven sadly, " I am told what is only needed for me to know."

" By who," asked Ami, who became sadden by his words.

Raven looks towards the door and a expression of fear appears on his face, which makes Dawn remember him looking at the door before answering the class.

" That's enough, Ami," responded Dawn as she wiped away his tears, " we're upsetting him."

Raven looks at Dawn and suddenly passes out on the floor. Startling everyone in the class. Mina runs to his location as the students crowd around him. Amy and Ami become worried as Dawn starts to get a sharp pain in her head. Ami looks at Dawn as she quickly gets up and grabs her forehead.

" A-are you alright, Dawn?" asked the worried Ami as Mina reached Raven.

The pain in her head starts growing and she does everything possible to stop herself from screaming. She takes a quick glance at Raven before running out the class with Ami giving chase.

" How did this happen?" asked Mina to Amy.

" I...I don't know," replied the frighten Amy, who looked for her sister and Dawn.

" D-Dawn,"

As Ami walked down the halls, she could hear Dawn cries echo throughout the halls, this made other teachers opened their doors to see what was going on, but by that time, Dawn could no longer be heard, only Ami's scream of Dawn's motionless body on the ground.

" This place...why?"

Dawn's voice echo throughout the empty hall as she lifted herself up. She was still at her high school, but there was something different about it, yet it didn't bother her one bit. She started walking down the hall, back to class, but as she did, she venture into the different classes that had their doors broken down. There was no sign of either students or teachers, yet there were still backpacks and such left under their desks.

' What made me come here,' thought Dawn to herself, ' I didn't wish to be hear now.'

Dawn continue walking til she reach her class and entered it.

" What do you see, Dawn?"

To Dawn's amazement was Raven, who was staring out the broken window towards the crimson colored sky. Dawn approach Raven and stood next to him and pointed towards a cloud in the shape of a car.

" I see something within the nothingness," answered Dawn as Raven looked at her.

" Something within the nothingness," responded Raven as Dawn looked at him, " is such a thing possible?"

Dawn started laughing and Raven became confused.

" Don't be so gullible, Raven Cross," laughed Dawn as she placed her right hand against his cheek, " all things are possible if you have faith."

Raven smile as Dawn did so as well and started blushing. Raven notices this and place his hand gently against her cheek as Dawn looked at him in awe.

" Are you embarrass or shy?"

" A little of both," replied Dawn as she reach in for a kiss.

" I see," responded Raven as he did so as well.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

" Dawn...Dawn, please,"

Dawn slowly began to open her eyes and turned to see Ami crying as well as a bunch of students and teachers standing overhead. She slowly got up and Ami quickly ran to her and hugged her tightly.

" I...I'm alright, Ami," responded the lightheaded Dawn, " really I am."

Suddenly Amy came running down the hall frantically, when she saw Ami and Dawn on the ground.

" Please, come quickly," cried the frantic Amy, " he isn't breathing."

All the teachers ran down to class 209, while telling their respective class to stay inside. Before the last teacher left, he told both Amy and Ami to take their friend to the nurse. Amy quickly ran to her sister and Dawn as tears came down her face.

" He isn't breathing and Miss Mina doesn't know what to do," said Amy as she fell to her knees and cried.

Dawn thought to herself about what had just happen with her in the empty school and seeing Raven there. She struggled to her feet with the help of Ami and started walking passed Amy, who had stopped smiling and grew an eerie smile.

" Come on, Amy," said the scared Ami as they stopped and turn to her.

Amy was gone, scaring Ami to death, but Dawn only showed a worried expression and told Ami to just go to the class. She did what she was told and they both made their way back to class 209.

' Am I doing this?' thought Dawn to herself, ' not to him, he's different.'

As they approach the class 209, the sharp pain started to return and Dawn fell to her knees and grabbed her head with both hands. It was the same as when Raven passed out, but only stronger. She grabbed Ami's arm and told her to check on Raven as she went in and out of consciousness. Ami ran inside and became startle at the sight of Amy bumping into her.

' B-but how,' thought confused Ami, ' she was just...'

" He isn't breathing, Ami," responded Amy sadly.

Ami went outside to fetch Dawn, but she was unconscious, laying on the floor.

" Is this another one of my places,"

" No..."

Dawn looks around and only sees flames consuming the school that earlier was empty. She sees her fellow students running through the halls as she makes her way through them. Suddenly, someone runs into her and she becomes startle at the sight of her own face.

" W-what is going on here?" responded Dawn as she watch herself run off.

She got back on her feet and entered the classroom, which was consumed by fire and smoke. As she made her way through the smoke, she saw a figure standing next to the window as smoke flowed out of it.

" What do you see now, Dawn?" asked the figure sadly as he looked into the pitch black sky.

" Raven?"
