Ch 12-Secrets Discovered

Narrator:

Now we'll figure out what Helen's been hiding all this time. There are all types of secrets that everyone has.

Raven paced back and forth in her room. She didn't know why she was still here. There was no reason to be around anymore. It wasn't like anyone was would care if she left. Something seemed to be holding her back. She couldn't quite put her finger on why that was.

"UGH! What is wrong with me?"

Helen paced back and forth in her room. They were running out of time. Raven could be long by now. This would put their plan in jeopardy if they couldn't reach her in time. all this waiting was putting her on edge. She shuddered to think what would happen if he found out. Though as long as he was on the other side there wouldn't be any immediate harm. Of course time was of the essence and it was soon arising. This was why Raven was given in her care. There's no telling what the royals have done with her.

This only set her more off edge. She needed to calm down. This was no time for her to go off the deep end. Everything will work out in the end. There was no reason to worry. Nothing would get in the way of what they worked hard to do. Helen knew that the wizard would get in touch when the time was right. Taking deep breaths she slowly relaxed.

"Are you alright, mother?" Komander asked from the door.

"Oh! Yes I'm fine."

Komander didn't look convinced but she let it go. She knew how her mother could get at times like these. There was no use in trying to say anything. It's better to let things play out in the end than get involved in anything.

"Komander! Get ready."

"For what?"

"We're about to go into battle in a few days."

Komander was slightly shocked by this turn of events. She didn't think this day would come. From the beginning she couldn't wait, but now it seemed bittersweet. There didn't seem to be a reason to keep doing this. But it seemed inevitable that it would finally arrive. Komander was starting to think it would be better to just leave Raven alone. It wasn't like she cared what she or her mother would do. Being mean wasn't what it was cracked up to be.

Roy paced back and forth in his room. He didn't think it would be this hard trying to be nice to Raven. He was really trying hard. A few times he did slip up but he caught himself before he said anything. So far Kori hadn't noticed anything. Things should be getting back to normal once Raven leaves. Roy couldn't wait for that day to come. This ruse was affecting his life.

Diana didn't know what to do. Time was drawing thin. Things weren't moving fast enough. She needed for Richard to pop the question soon. She had a feeling that Raven was about to leave and she couldn't have that. Richard could be real slow at times.

"Alfred!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I need ideas about Richard and Raven."

"Don't you think that it would be better if you just let them figure things out?"

"We don't have time for that. I have a feeling that Raven is about to leave and you know I'm never wrong. Now, let's come up with a plan."

Honestly, Alfred didn't know why he bothered trying to reason with her. It was a complete waste of time. When Richard and Raven get married he would be so happy that he wouldn't be dragged into anymore crazy plans.

Terra was in the gardens pacing. She needed to figure out how to expose Raven for who she really is. There was no way that she was going to stand by and let her take control of the people that she cares about. The only thing was to come up with a plan to force about her wicked ways.

"There has to be something."

Terra grew frustrated with each growing second that passed by. It was driving her insane not thinking of anything.

"Terra."

Looking around Terra saw Karen walking towards her. There had to be a way for her to get her on her side.

"Hey, Karen. Did you need something?"

"I need your help with preparing the food in the kitchen. What are you doing out here anyways?"

"Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Raven."

"What about her?"

"I know she's evil. I'm trying to come up with a plan to expose her for who she really is."

"Not this again. Will you give this a rest already? Raven isn't hurting anybody."

"How would you know? You don't even know her."

"And neither do you. Terra…you have got to stop jumping to conclusions about people."

"I'm not jumping to conclusions. I actually saw her use evil magic."

"No. you thought you saw something. Let's face it Terra all you saw was Raven chanting a mantra which could be her native tongue. I wish you would cut all this nonsense out. It's getting real old."

"Just because you don't believe me doesn't mean that it isn't true. I know what I saw."

"Whatever. Raven hasn't done anything abnormal since she's been here. Now come on inside and help me out."

Karen turned around in a huff. Terra really needed to get her head straight. Terra followed behind Karen grumbling to herself. There was no stopping her on finding out the truth.

Lots of complicated drama is going around in the castle. There are so many twists and turns that are about to happen. Will Terra go forth in her plans? What do Helen and her associates have up their sleeves? Lots of questions need to be answered.
