Raven lay back on her bed, she couldn't sleep. Her mind was full of thoughts of Edward, the garden and what her mother and father had said about him being ''a boyfriend''. It wasn't like she didn't like him, but then again; she didn't even know the guy. Sighing, she sat up and gazed out the window next to her bed. Her brow wrinkled, now she had never noticed THAT. How could she have missed it? The hill with the castle was in plain view. Staring up at it, she wondered, what was Edward was doing.

Edward was alone. He was always alone. He didn't want to go back down there anyway. He had always awaited the return of Kim, but she never came back. Why? What had he done wrong? Every day he waited, every day she never came. But today, that girl came. Raven, who was she? And why did she come up here?

Edward looked down at his hands. Why would anybody want to be near him? He was … a monster. Edward looked back up, and out the window, staring down on the town, that were fast asleep. If only he could go to sleep, but he had to be awake. Just incase she returned … just incase Kim returned.

Raven awoke, from a very short sleep. She pulled on some jeans and a shirt, and wondered down the stairs. Stacey was bouncing around, in full happy mode. Raven sighed, her tired eyes following Stacey bouncing around the room, laughing at some stupid television show. Raven stepped off the last stair and pushed Stacey out of the way so she could leave.

''Where ya going?'' Stacey asked,

''Out.'' Was Ravens reply.

''Where?''

''None of your business.''

''Can I come?''

''No.''

Before Stacey could say anything else, Raven pushed the front door open and was greeted by the sun. She quickly shut the door on her siblings screams of protest of being left behind, and slowly made her way down the path.

The sprinklers were on, and it was pretty hot. Kids were dancing around sprinklers, or in paddling pools, while adults mowed their lawns or hosed them. Powder coloured cars drove past, with men off to work, while the women stayed at home, being housewives. This town was so boring. Raven sighed and continued walking down the sidewalk, towards the hill. Soon she came to the gates, which were closed. She pushed them open, and they reluctantly groaned and swung forward slowly, just like they did before.

It took her a good half hour to walk up to the castle, in this heat. When she finally reached the top, she pushed open the other gates and stopped to admire the garden once again. It was beautiful, as always. The grass was so green, the leaves were so perfect and the sculptors were fantastic. This time, she decided to look around the garden a little more. She crossed the grass and looked at the dragons, the cats, the lions and the other magical creatures Edward had created. She admired the flowers and the trees. Everything was perfect, nothing seemed to be out of place or withering. The trees were in full blossom, Apple trees, Cherry Blossoms, Oak trees and Alder trees. The apples looked so inviting, just to reach out and take a bite.

Raven had taken in the whole garden. She slowly circled, breathing in slowly. Even the air up here seemed so much better. She slowly opened her eyes, and smiled. Edward was really a perfectionist. But she wondered, was he making this garden perfect, because he was not?

She let this thought go as she walked towards the castle. She didn't care what he looked like, why should she? She wasn't perfect, her sister reminded her of this fact every single day, with every breath she takes. She shook her head, ran her fingers through her black hair, and pushed the door open. The dusty smell of the house greeted her. She smiled just a little, knowing that Edward would be here.

She shut the door behind her, and looked around. It was dark, but the light coming through the old and dirty windows gave her enough light to see the room. It must have been so … grand long ago. Did Edward live like a prince? But then again, this place, could be a prison to Edward. It was keeping him in, leaving him all alone, with only his thoughts and imagination.

She noticed him standing there. He was standing in the far corner of the room, looking so sad and alone. He seemed lost. Though this was his home, his sanctuary, he didn't seem to recognize it at all. He wasn't looking at her, He wasn't looking at anything. She watched as a crystal tear slowly crept down his pale cheeks. He was crying. He needed somebody to take away the pain and torture this place had given him. He needed her. He needed Raven. More than ever.

Well, that's my new chapter. I was almost killing myself for making him cry…. Edward! I love you!

Audience: Shut up already and give us a new chapter!

Fine … You're just a bunch of grumps. You don't give me anything for my creative mind!
