I had this idea of making Raven a bit delusional, so there we go. Crazy Raven.

Also, you all still left the poll at 50/50! Don't make me choose! AGH!


"Shh. I gotcha. It'll be alright." Raven wound the bandages she always carried on her around Pyrrha's foot. She set Pyrrha down, and opened the little first aid pack on her belt. She rifled through the pack, and pulled out a syringe, filled it with morphine (Hey, being a gang member had its perks) and stabbed it into the affected area. Pyrrha immediately relaxed. Raven picked up the injured messenger, and dumped her into a bush, covering the sleeping girl with her jacket.

Raven looked down at her clothes, which were covered with blood. She ran back over to the playground, where the other messenger stood. Neo stood frozen.

There was a scream. I think it was the mark? Neo signed.

Raven's eyes widened. She didn't want to kill Summer, she just had to take her. It was what the boss said, right? She had to. There wasn't a choice. Raven broke into a run, speeding down the path.

Summer stood petrified while a man in a coat and gauntlets circled her. Raven's hands curled into fists. She growled.

"Get the hell away from her!" Raven flew towards the man, knife pointed straight at his heart. In a nick of time, the guy jumped out of her path and disappeared into the night, leaving Raven slashing at thin air. She grabbed Summer's arm and darted down the path they just came, panting heavily.

One hour later… (I know, I'm awful)

Neo had gone. Raven sat, curled in a ball. Blood stained the pavement around her. She wasn't sure who it belonged to. She didn't care. Summer was gone. Summer. She didn't want to hurt Raven, but one had to do the Goddess's bidding if one wanted their people to survive. The Tribe always survived. She did everything for the good of the Tribe.

Her phone buzzed, interrupting her thoughts.

Qrow Branwen "Onii-chan": Are you alright? Have you seen Summer? CALL ME!

Raven picked up the device and typed a reply.

Come pick me up, I'm at the park near Central Plaza. Come quick!

A few minutes later, Qrow's 2002 Honda Civic pulled up on the road beside the park. Qrow burst out, not even bothering to shut the door. He held a flashlight, shining its beam anywhere he detected movement. "Raven? Raven?" The light's beam fell upon the woman, who sat curled up, sobbing.

"Raven? What's going on?" Qrow rushed over to his sister.

Raven looked up. "Summer, I-I tried take her, and there was this guy who tried to kill her and, I can't remember anything after that. I came to, and there was all this blood, and, and…"

Qrow stared at his sister in horror.

Raven shook, eyes brimming with tears. "Qrow, did I kill Summer?" She gazed at her brother with pleading eyes.

Qrow sighed. He swallowed, internally screaming, but managing a calm exterior. "Course not. Come on, sis, let's get you home. But first, I gotta make a call. You gonna be okay if I do that?"

Raven nodded.

Qrow dialed began to dial 911, but stopped when he saw sirens flashing about a few meters away. "Raven?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm gonna need you to stay here. Can you do that?" Qrow knelt and looked at his sister.

"Okay."

"The police are going to take care of this. They're going to ask you questions, and you will answer them. I'm gonna stick around, and when they let you go, I'm taking you home with me. No arguments."

Qrow stuck out his hand and pulled his sister up. They walked over to a bench and sat down.

Raven heard a rustling noise from the bush she had set Pyrrha down in. She glanced over. Pyrrha was gone.

And then the cops came. And all hell broke loose.

Woohoo! Another chapter! And so quickly too! Muse-chan doesn't take holidays, I guess.
