After an hour or so of just sitting on the bed of her sister I heard a sudden knock on my sisters bedroom , so I stood up to open the door to whoever knocked ( my parents knock before getting inside and my Grandmother ) . But when I opened the door there was no one waiting to enter my older sister's ( assigned ) room , I looked right and left but there was no sign of any trick being played and there was also no sign of anything that had changed , I must be losing my mind I thought so then I decided to go down stairs and wait there for the rest of my family to arrive .

After half an hour my family finally arrived and when everyone was inside the house mother and grandmother started preparing for dinner , I had offered to help them out but Mother only said '' Thank You for offering Rose , but maybe later ''

then Grandmother winked at me before she said '' me and your mother can handle it '' and then she added in a whisper '' I think you might want to read for a while right ? '' I nodded and she chuckled and said '' well then , why no read now ? '' I thanked her with a kiss before I sat at the little coffee table inside the living room and started reading the book my sister had given me back at our house , the title of the book was '' Raven's Quest '' it was really interesting and exiting while some of it was kind of sad too .

When the dinner was ready I put the book down at the coffee table and returned to the kitchen to eat, when everyone was ready in their chairs ready to eat my grandmother went to her room saying that she was ''Sick and that she would eat later '' but I didn't believe her word for one second , but convincing her takes time and is quit impossible to do really .

But I was ready to do so before mom stopped me and said '' Rose you should leave your grandmother when she's in this sad mood '' then my father said '' when she's in this mood it usually means that she's been thinking about grandfather , again '' so I sat back and ate my dinner in silence until my sister said '' dad , do you think grandmother is sick ? '' dad shook his head and said '' no , we have checked for any sign of that but fortunately there were none , why ask ? '' Mary shrugged and said '' well ... I was worried I guess '' then we all just ate in silence for the rest of the dinner .

We had a sad dinner without grandmother and we all went early to bed at our '' assigned '' rooms, when we all got ready for bed I slipped into my bed and closed my eyes.

My dreams usually are bad but they were nothing compare to these ,

I had found myself inside a cave with two tunnels leading somewhere I could not quit pinpoint , and the exit was nowhere to be seen but I was sure it was there somewhere .

Placed into the exact middle was a grave made of black marble with some golden carvings that went alone the sides , those carvings gave the grave an eerie look but I ignored that as I stood up and humped over towards the grave .

I noticed I was not in my PJs but I was wearing a most terrible smelling dress , the dress was supposed to be long-sleeved but the sleeves were cut off and the dress was torn there and there and to make matters worse the dress had a corpse smell to it .

I finally managed to lift the lid but I was quit disappointed in what I saw , there was completely nothing there !

Suddenly I heard a voice out of nowhere commanded me to open the lid again , so I did .

When I opened the lid again I saw myself inside the coffin as a corpse , inside the coffin I saw myself being bitten and clawed raw by nameless bugs and insects , I tried to close the lid but before I could manage to a few of them escaped and ran up my dress , now I'm not a girl who is scared of spiders or normal insects but I tell you anybody will be afraid of those on foot long beetles and those sharp fanged cockroaches .

I screamed at them to stop climbing my dress but they wouldn't budge to move , so I soon found myself surrounded by those hateful bugs and insects .

They just kept biting and clawing at me until I felt like I was a walking Zombie , in the end a beetle the size of a human hand clawed its way into my mouth ( by ripping it ! ) and I fainted or more likely died .

I awoke with a start and went out of my '' assigned '' room and into the kitchen for a glass of water , but when I opened the kitchen door I heard flapping of wings oh no not again ! It must have been a bird looking for food or something else .

But what I saw was very surprising , in the middle of the kitchen floor sat a Raven who eyed me sternly as though I was a crumb ! But that must have been myself imagining things cause birds can't do that now can they ?

I stared at the bird before I picked it up and off the floor , I had realized long ago that it couldn't fly because of a wound in the left-wing , so I set it on the counter and thought of things I had learned about taking care of birds .

I finally decided to clean its wounds first ( its left-wing ) , then cover them up with cloth .

when the bird was finally taken care of I washed everything I had used before walking out with the raven in a little cozy blanket and setting it at my bedside lest it destroyed something .

Then I fell asleep but this time no nightmares came just dreams of being able to fly like a Raven .
