Chapter Three
Raven POV
I felt awful. There was a sharp pain somewhere in my back, I was aching everywhere, and the left side of my neck was in horrible, burning pain. I lifted a hand to my neck, and it came back wet.
I heard whispers, "She's waking up," "Finally!" "Shh! Be quiet, Rude!"
The words didn't make sense to me... And I was in to much pain to try to figure it out now...
"Raven? Raven can you hear me?"
I moaned in response, the closest I was coming to talking...
"It's alright Raven, we'll be fine. Here I'll just prop you up here..." I felt hands lift me slightly and lean me against something soft and cushiony. "There you go, better, see?" That voice, I knew it from somewhere, but I couldn't quite place where...
I started to drift off, "Aw, man, we're loosing her!" I heard in the distance, but it was to far away to make out...
Then I felt someone lightly slapping my face, "Oi! Come on! Wake up!" someone was shaking my shoulders...
"Rude! Cut it out! You might make it worse," I really did recognize that voice. But I just couldn't quite place where it was from...
"How was I gonna make it worse?" mumbled someone, just barely audible. That voice again...
"Raven? Come on, can you say something?" that voice was really persistent...
"Raven I know you're tired, but I really need you to wake up!"
"Are we gonna be okay?" asked a scared voice... the same voice...
"Yes Timid, we'll be fine. I just need time," the same voice again... but different...
Someone snorted, "Impartial my..." there was a thwacking sound and a yelp in protest.
"Raven? Raven, wake up. Come on, wake up," the voice was really convincing, maybe I should wake up... "Come on, Raven. You can do it,"
Alright... I cracked my eyes open and was met with... A grey blob... That couldn't be right... No, wait... The blob seamed to have a purple outline. But before I could make a connection about this, I heard that voice say "Here, move over, let me try," the grey blob with a purple outline disappeared to be replaced by... A grey blob... with a purple outline... But wait... this one had a green outline outside the purple one...
"Hey, Raven! Can you see me? Just nod yes or no," the blob said with that voice, though I was beginning to suspect where I'd heard the voice before. I nodded slowly... The blob shifted and turned all green, "She nodded! She sees me!"
"Excelent, Brave," the first blob moved back into view, then that blob shifted too, now the blob had a yellow outline "Raven, yes or no, do you know who I am?" I shook my head slowly, the voice sighed, "I'll calm down Timid, you get her to figure out who we are."
Then the green blob shifted back to before, and just had a green outline, "Hey Raven, can you open you're eyes a bit more? Please?"
I tried, and the blurry blob cleared up substantially. Now it was a grey face, with a green hood, and purple hair and... blood red eyes. "Brave?" I mumbled quizzically.
Brave broke out in a grin, "You remember me!"
"What happened to you're eyes?" I muttered, half asleep.
Brave's grin did a disappearing act.
