Chapter 3
Raven's POV
I slapped a kitty-smile onto my face, and waltzed in with Daring.
"Raven. It's good to see you out of mirror-prison", Humphrey walked up to me and bowed.
"Good to see you too, Humphrey", his cold, pale hands made contact with my gloves. Slowly, he lifted my hand and kissed it. Then came her. The she-devil that ruined my life. I greeted her, but I admit to trying to throw a flame ball. Daring noticed this and put his lips to my ear.
"Nice try", he smirked "Be nice, for my sake", I moaned and Apple decided to link our arms. Without hesitation, I removed my arm a moaned once again. Daring pulled out my chair and kissed me on the cheek for about 2 seconds. Humphrey followed and did the same to Apple.
A lovely dinner was served and I ate it with great pleasure. In mirror-prison, they cut down your meals so I felt as if I had been starved. After finishing the entire plate, Humphrey's jaw dropped.
"So, Raven. How have you been?" Apple really just wanted to spite me, didn't she?
"Really, Apple? Really?" Perhaps the sarcasim wasn't needed, as Daring showed me; in the form of kicking my leg under the table. Hex, that hurt! He turned and gave me the 'I'm Going To Kill You When They've Left' look. During desert, Humphrey and I seperated had a conversation, as did Apple and Daring. Well, their conversation turned into an argument about destiny. Apple began to shout and when that happened, Daring snapped. I can still perform powerless magic, so I sent a blast through the air, causing major vibrations. That shut them up. Apple and Humphrey left, and Daring flipped on me.
"You can't just smash glasses! They cost money!" Boring! "Why were you so rude? There was no need for it!" And then, he sighed and brought me in for a hug. I accepted and hugged back, as I knew if I didn't, he would just try again later. "Look, Raven. I care for you, I love you, even though it may not seem true"
"Me too", I replied. Why? Did I actually believe that? Maybe I did.
It was the night of the fall ball...Oh, wait...that's for next time...
