Sky High 2: To Walk A Hero's Path
For any other kid in Sky High, the next three days were uneventful, but to Raven, they were horrible. She hadn't talked to Warren since……the kiss, but everywhere she went, every hallway, every door, every staircase, every where she went; Warren was in plain sight. Raven knew that he wasn't putting her on a guilt trip, it was the fact they had every class together, and since they weren't in class on the first day of school, they were forced to seat next to each other. They were even lab partners. The only time they talked is when they were deciding who would do what but they never met each other's eyes.
Layla became suspicious why the two weren't talking since the Paper Lantern. She tried to ask Warren about it, but he just brushed it off, when she would persist she would be dodging something that he had next to him. One time when he had nothing to throw, she had to dodge a fireball. Layla finally had had it and made Warren talk. She used her power of hold him down and didn't let go until he told her everything.
"We went out to a club; that's all."
"After?" Layla persisted.
"I walked her home."
"What happened while walking home?" Layla was getting annoyed.
"We….."
"What?" What came out of Warren's mouth was the thing Layla had dreamed that would happen for Warren.
"YOU KISSED!" Layla almost screamed. A few students' eyes wondered about and got a death stare from Warren which they quickly turned away.
"Could please keep it down?" Warren said in a whisper.
"How do you feel about what happened." Layla looked at Warrens face and had to really look hard and saw him, HIM! THE Warren Peace………blush.
"Oh my God. I never thought I'd see the day." Layla said proudly. Warren looked at her funny.
"You're in love." Layla couldn't believe it! She was so happy for him. What topped the cake was that Warrens blush became more visible. He hid his face for any one noticing.
"So are you going to tell her?"
"What if she doesn't feel the same way?" Warren said giving in to the whole girl-advice thing.
"Believe me she's dying without you. She's just been around the block a few times." Warren gave her a tell-the-truth look.
"Okay she's been around the block a lot of times."
"So she doesn't want to get hurt again. Great." Warren rolled his eyes. He wanted Raven so much and by the looks of things she wants him too but she won't admit it.
"Well you know how to rattle people's cages, you'll figure it out." Layla said getting up. She leaned over to Warren and whispered.
"Sparky."
"Hippie!" Warren threw a fire ball that Layla had to quickly dodge, again.
It was the forth (Friday) day and things weren't changing for the two, it went worse for Raven when Coach Boomer called her and Warren over from combat drills.
"Look Star I need you to help your villain friend over here with hand-to-hand combat. Help him or both of you can fail this semester." He said quite calmly except for the last part where he sounded threatening. Raven still was unfazed by his scare tactic but agreed.
"After school everyday from 4:15 to 6:00. Starting today." Coach said and stormed off.
The end of the day came and the last class that Raven and Warren had was music theory. The bell rang and Warren was the first one out the door. Raven stayed behind and went to the piano. Her fingers traced their way along the keys as she sat down on the bench. She began softly playing the one song that truly gave her feelings.
Layla heard the piano playing in the music hall where she had to force Warren to say where he thought Raven still was. She crept over and saw Raven playing the piano and began to sing.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
And there are voices
That wants to be heard
So much to mention
But you can't find the words
The scent of magic
The beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
But listen to your heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Listen to your heart
Mmmmmmmm
I don't know where you're going
And I don't know why
Listen to you heart
Before you tell him goodbye
Raven never truly knew what that song meant until now. She fell for Warren, she fell for him hard and fast. She put her head down as an unexpected tear drop fell onto the piano. She felt someone from the side of her wrap their arms around her. They weren't Warren's strong warm arms; they were humble and had a woman's touch. She looked up and saw Layla was the one that was holding her. She smiled at Raven and hugged her again.
"That was beautiful Raven." Layla said softly.
"Are you going to tell him?" She asked. Raven looked at Layla, her eyes filled was compassion and hope. Raven pulled away softly and shook her head.
"Why? You can't keep avoiding him forever!"
"Every time I fall into a hole a guy like him picks me up only to push me in a deeper one I…..I just can't take it anymore." Raven argued.
"You're in love! You can't deny it! I can tell he feels the same about you. Besides you already took his hand Raven!" Layla pleaded with her.
"Maybe if I let go now, I won't fall as hard." Raven just wanted to stop this whole thing before it started but deep down she knew she was in too deep.
"If you let go no one use will be able to help you but him. Now you're being stubborn." Layla argued back. Raven shot her a look. Layla remained unfazed.
"Some things are made to be hidden and stay hidden." Raven said angrily getting her bag. Before walking out she heard Layla say softly.
"Some things are meant to be found." With that Raven turned around and looked in her friends eyes. Deep down Raven knew that she was right, she had been right all along. It was close to 4 and she need to change and meet Warren at the gym.
"Maybe they are; maybe they're not. That's a mystery I'll figure out." She said giving Layla a ray of hope. Maybe she could just sit down and talk to Warren about all this. She just needed to know how he felt about her; but she was truly afraid of what he had to say. She walk out of the music hall and started down the hall.
Warren walked down the empty halls to the gym. His mind began to wonder what would happen between him and Raven. Ever since the kiss Raven had and him been avoiding each other, but after what happened that night, something burned within him. This fiery passion for her, hungry for her touch, and aching to touch her. He had never felt this way for any other girl like this and this desire was getting really hard to control. He barely made it through today; he had no idea how he was going to resist through this practice.
He walked in to see Raven in black sweat pants and a black spaghetti top. She was tying her hair up and the top lifted to revile her stomach. He just wanted to have her right then and there. Go up and kiss along the sides of her shoulders then up to her neck, then her lips, and if she let him he would sneak his hand under her shirt and….
"Go get changed." Raven said not even looking at him. She busied herself putting on her gloves and stretching. Warren went to the locker room and changed into a muscle shirt and sweats. He put his stuff on the bleachers and went back to the gym floor. Raven threw a staff at him.
"What's with the stick?" Warren asked.
"It's a bow staff you're having the most trouble there." Raven said with no emotion in her voice.
"Yeah and it's the hardest one I've heard."
"It's the easiest." Raven corrected. Warren knew Raven was just putting the PMS act to hide all her emotions, so he let it slide for now.
"Whatever." Warren said and Raven taught him basic maneuvers and their names which he easily caught onto. Boomer was too fast a teacher that's why he never caught on and was barely making a passing grade. The pace became quicker and Warren was worked hard by Raven. He knew mostly everything there was to offer about a bow staff by 4:50. Raven went to the locker room and when she came back they would have a match covering everything she taught him.
When Raven came back, Warren had a plotting look on his face that Raven took note of. She was determined to not fall for his tricks. The two got their staffs and took their stances.
"Let's see if the student passes the teacher." Warren said looking at Raven dead in the eye. She remained unfazed.
"On your mark." Warren started
"Get set." Raven said back. Then complete silence.
"GO!" They both yelled and fought. Warren swiped the floor with the staff as Raven quickly jumped to dodge. She wiped her bow staff around and it met Warrens back. Warren turned to meet his staff with her head but swiped air instead. He was knocked to the ground by a swift blow to the legs given by Raven when she ducked at his attempt to strike.
"I guess the student needs more practice." Raven said smiling evilly. She knew that Warren would get cocky and she was right.
The two fought for what seemed like forever when Raven started to tire. Warren was also but he was determined to put an end to the avoiding treatment. Raven's defenses started getting slow and Warren took no time to taught Raven all planned and Raven fell into it.
"So how does it feel to be beaten by the man that cared for you Ray?" Raven heard the word cared and her heart started to break. No she won't let it happen again. No man is going to break her heart. Block block! Concentrate!
"You almost had me fooled." Concentrate Ray! Block block swing! Warren dodged.
"I couldn't believe how stupid I was." Concentrate! Swing swing Warren dodged again.
"For falling for a scared, little girl like you." Tears started to form in Raven's eyes. Everything she didn't want to hear from him he was saying.
"No" Raven whimpered out. CONCENTRATE!
"What are you afraid of Raven?" Warren yelled at her.
"Nothing." Raven breathed out.
"Wrong answer!" Warren whacked Raven's side like if she were being punished for not telling the truth.
"What are you afraid of?" Warren yelled again.
"Nothing!" Raven yelled back swinging her staff in furry.
"BULL SHIT!" Warren yelled. He disarmed Raven and pinned her against the wall with his hands.
"WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?" Warren yelled at Raven.
"EVERYTHING!" Raven yelled back. There was a moment of silence that followed. Warren used his hand to brush away the hair that was in Raven had in her face.
"Why?" He asked softly.
"Because every time I open my heart, it's just broken again." She whispered. He looked deep into her eyes.
"But you're stronger then that. I've seen it." Warren whispered.
"You make me weak." She breathed. Warren looked deep into her eyes.
"I'll never hurt you." He gently said and pulled her in his arms. Raven couldn't help but believe him. She realized she had fallen for him since the very beginning. The first day she had laid eyes on him; she fell. As they pulled away their faces touched. The couple smiled as their lips touched once again.
"I remember this." Warren said grinning. His words made his lips brush against Raven's. She couldn't take anymore; she pulled him to her and their lips pressed against each other. Warren's tongue quickly made its way into Ravens mouth and they quickly went into a war of mouths. Warren pinned Raven to the wall harder as Raven moaned into his mouthed causing Warren to go crazy. They couldn't satisfy each other enough. They both wanted more. Raven's feet started slipping causing the pair to slide to the floor, but never leaving each others arms or lips. As Warren body hovered over hers, a fire ignited in Raven's heart, she longed for this. She longed for Warren to kiss her this way. They explored each others mouths like it was the end of the world. Raven's hands slid all over Warren's back and his hands slid up and down her sides. The couple felt so alive and free, never feeling this complete in their entire lives.
Raven needed a breath badly, but whenever she pulled away, Warren quickly brought her back, causing her to barely get any air. Warren worked his way down her neck and her chest causing all kinds of havoc on Ravens senses.
"Warren." She breathed Warren captured his lips with hers once again. She pushed against him lightly to breathe.
"Warren it's almost 7. We have to go." She breathed.
Warren smiled down at his lover, his angel, his beauty, his queen. He kissed her again softly taking in her scent. He loved her so much, yet he couldn't find the voice to say it to her. He got up from above Raven and helped her to her feet. She pecked him lightly on the lips before going to get her stuff. Warren watched her every move and then something he didn't expect. The little thief sprinted to the bleachers grabbed his stuff and ran off; giggling. GIGGLING! Warren ran after her and down through the halls through half the school before he caught up with her and pinned her against the lockers. Warren smiled at her evilly.
"First you take me out to a club, then kiss and run leaving me in a complete state of confusion, then avoid me for almost the rest of the week. Now you gave me the most wonderful kiss in our lives only to steal me stuff." Raven was giggling controllably now, which made it hard for Warren to keep a straight face.
"Now you're gonna pay." Warren said smiling. Raven looked at him funny then shrieked when Warren picked her up over his shoulders and started walking. Raven was still giggling uncontrollably and couldn't see where he was going. She clamed down and hit Warrens back lightly.
"So having a good look at my ass up there?" She commented.
"Looks really good." Warren played back. He heard Raven grunt and smiled to himself.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"To the front of the school." Warren said.
"Well that saves me a trip." Raven said trying to get herself comfortable in that position if it was possible. Warren 'accidentally' dropped Raven and kept walking with his and her stuff. Raven got up furious if she could have Warren's power he'd be toasted on the spot. Sadly she caught up to him and right when he was in punching range, he turned around and pulled her for a kiss. When they ended it Raven glared at Warren.
"You're lucky you're a good kisser cause you woulda been in broken nose city." She played.
"Then I'm lucky I'm a good kisser then huh?" Warren winked at her and kissed her again. She moaned in his mouth and pushed him away slightly.
"I really have to get home. You may be a good kisser but I have dinner calling me." She winked and pulled away. Warren finally realized he was hungry also.
"I guess you're right. I need to get to work too." Warren said and they went to the bus where Ron was and they spent the bus ride in each others arms.
On the roof top of Sky High………
The figure stood there, watching the couple go to the bus that was parked there. She took note of the intense care that the couple gave each other. A voice crackled through the walkie-talkie again.
"What have you learned?" the voice cracked.
"She has an intimate relationship with Peace sir."
"All according to plan." The figure became confused.
"Sir? Peace is in this operation?"
"All in good time child, all in good time." The walkie-talkie became silent once again. The figure didn't know what its master was going to do. All it had to do now was watch them both intently, but the figure began to wonder what type of plot its master was weaving.
