Chapter 25
We last left the princesses talking about Raveon's destiny. Whatever could it be? Now we join Raveon and Avery on their way to their last destination. Los Pegasus. After Raveon had just sent a letter to Princess Twilight, he headed back to his seat when he suddenly stopped in the middle of the path. He kept thinking about what happened to him 12 years ago and what he was about to do to the Diamond Dogs. Avery got up from her seat and begin to look for him, then she saw him go into their room. Now Avery wanted answers.
Avery: "Raveon?"
Raveon: "Oh…hey. We almost there?"
Avery: "Not yet, but we're getting close."
Raveon: "That's good."
Avery: "Raveon?" (sits next to him)
Raveon: "Yeah?"
Avery: "I'm a bit curious. What happen to you 12 years ago?"
Raveon: "I really don't want to say."
Avery: "Please? I would like to understand you better."
Raveon: "But once I tell you, you'll hate me. I haven't even told the other Avery about this either."
Avery: "It must be pretty awful. But nothing you say can make me hate you. Remember? You said that to me an hour ago."
Raveon: (sighs) "Okay. It all started 12 years ago. I was 3 years old when it happened. I still think about it sometimes. See, before I lived in Marvel Creek, I lived in a small town called Mobile Town. It was me my mom, dad, and my sister Paige. See Tory wasn't born yet. Thank God he wasn't. Anyway, I was playing with my dad when it happened. We were having our own fun. That's when it happened. 3 men. 3 bad men came. They were going to hurt us. Dad told me to get in the house and I did what he told me to do. I looked out the window and I saw Dad fighting to protect me. I saw a man with a weird gun and he was aiming it at him. That's when I heard a shot fired. I watched as my dad went down. They were kicking him and kicking him until I couldn't take it anymore."
Avery: "What happened?"
Raveon: "My powers. They're what you call really special. My family thinks they're special. But me, I'm not so sure. After what happened, sometimes my powers make me feel like I'm a monster."
Avery: "What did you do to the bad humans?"
Raveon: "I…I killed them…"
Avery: (gasps) "N-no you d-didn't."
Raveon: "I did. Somehow, my powers are connected to my emotions. When I get angry or scared, I somehow awaken this hidden rage. I was so scared and angry that day. I just went off on those bastards. The first one I got on his back and snapped his neck… the second one, I pushed him and he got ran over by a car…" (tears can't breathe) "And the last one was the worst of all… He was about to kill my father until I telepathically took the gun away from him. And then…"
Avery: "Then what?" (shocked)
Raveon: (looking at his hoof) "I took this hand and together with my power, I stabbed him. I stabbed him with my own hand."
Avery: "Oh…my…gosh…."
Raveon: "My father saw the whole thing with terror in his eyes. He has never seen this side of me before. He said I was protecting him, but I know deep down he was scared of me. But he still loves me. No matter what I looked like to him…He's still my father and I'm still his son."
Avery: "I don't believe it…"
Raveon: "You must think I'm a monster too. I haven't even told your human counterpart yet. Because I'm afraid of what she'll think of me… she would think I'm a murderer… I had so much blood on my hands. I passed out after that happened. And I kept having nightmares. Nightmares that I would do that to my own family… and probably to someone that I will love in the future. I couldn't even believe it myself… I killed 3 people and I was only 3 years old. I have this hidden power deep inside me and I'm trying my best to control it. And I was doing well, until now. When I saw how unfair those dogs were treating you and Jasper, I just couldn't stand for it… I just lost it… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry Avery…" (crying)
Avery laid her head on Raveon's neck which made him stop crying. She look at him and gave him a kiss on the nose much to his shock.
Raveon: "You don't think I'm scary."
Avery: "I did after you told your story, but I understand why you did it. Your dad was in trouble. That's why I think you are special. You have such power. It's like you were a hero."
Raveon: (cries and hugs Avery) "I have no real power… What I did doesn't make me a hero."
Avery: "To me it does. And so does your dad. I'm proud to have someone like you as my friend."
Raveon: "Really?"
Avery: "Yep."
Raveon: "T-thanks."
Avery: "Don't mention it."
Raveon and Avery looked at each other, lean in close and started kissing. It was more passionate because it was comfort and love. And Raveon definitely needed both right now. After a few more minutes, they pulled apart.
Raveon: "Avery I don't want to be alone tonight. I want…I want to be with you."
Avery: (blushing) "Okay. I would love to. I want to sleep with you too. This is my first time though."
Raveon: "First time?"
Avery: "My first time being with a colt or a human. I don't think I know what to do."
Raveon: "WOAH WOAH WOAH! What are you thinking?!"
Avery: "I thought you were talking about "you know" "
Raveon: "Huh?" (realizes then turns extremely red) "Huh?! What I mean is I want to sleep in the same bed with you again! Not "that" !"
Avery: "Oh! I'm sorry! I can't believe I was thinking such things! Please forgive me!"
Raveon: "Yeah it's okay." (blushing still red in the face)
Avery: (nervous laughing) "I'm sorry."
Raveon: "I'm the one that should be sorry. I gave you a misunderstanding!"
Avery: "Yeah. I see now."
Raveon: (still red in the face) "Hmm? See what?"
Avery: "You should save yourself for the human version."
Raveon: "What do you mean save myself? Save myself for what?"
Avery: "Never mind." (giggles) "Not only are you cute, but you're dense too."
Raveon: "No you got my attention. What do you mean save myself?"
Avery: "I mean you should have your first time with- Look we're here!"
Raveon and Avery have finally arrived in Las Pegasus. What kind of adventure will they have there? Find out in Chapter 26.
